Professional Moling Services - About Us & Our Work.

Apart from the disruption caused by conventional methods of pipe and cable laying an impact mole can easily be used in areas inaccessible to diggers or where there is not room to trench by hand even. For example it may mean CCTV or fire hydrants could be installed in areas ruled out because of access to install the supply.

This service enables pipes, cables, ducts and sleeves to be installed under the ground avoiding the mess and disruption caused by mechanical diggers without the scarring and sinking of a trench after backfilling with a digger. There may be old forms of paving etc which cannot always be lifted whole or cannot be reinstated without obvious notice.
We have installed services beneath buildings, rivers, gardens, rail lines driveways, roads and gardens. Moling has also been used for installing tie bars under ground for bridges, banks and old retaining walls that need support.

There are three main trenchless methods, the most common being impact moling where the machine is set off for example from a pit one side of a road to a pit the other, the pipe or duct can then be pushed through manually or attached to the back of a machine depending on ground conditions and materials being used. You can achieve a 200mm diameter bore with this method.
Ramming is a method used in extremely hard or unstable ground. A ramming mole is attached to the back of steel tube and knocked through the ground. Once installed the core is then removed leaving a clear passage. With this method we can make access from 50mm diameter to 4m in diameter.

There is a directional drill; the head of this is traced above ground with a computer and its direction controllable enabling us to travel distances in the region of 150m at a time below ground steering as necessary for to follow lanes or paths and down under rivers
and up the other side. This type of installation has prevented expensive and lengthy road closures.

The most common use for moling is replacing water supply pipes to older properties and their gardens as the lead, iron, copper and black plastic mains are needing replacing. We make all necessary connections and joint pipe ourselves from small domestic pipes to main production lines.
Moling is also environmentally friendly as tarmac or concrete broken out for a trench does not have to be transported and tipped in a landfill site and material for reinstatement brought in.

Moling Services Limited have installed electric ducts at The Tower of London for Taylor Wood Row. Installing 100m of duct along The North Walkway to save disruption while supplying power for the new lighting.

The company has installed water pipe under six lines at Battersea Rail Depot, installed pipes under buildings at Kew Gardens, Egham Collage and The Royal Engineers offices, Barton Court grammar School, these jobs avoiding a physical dig through buildings
