Water Mains Replacement
Save time and money on water main replacements with the latest trenchless techniques from EPS. Our state-of-the-art moling equipment can bore accurate, efficient channels for new pipe work without the need for large scale excavation. This allows us to carry out our replacements with minimal disruption to your property.
Small Footprint Domestic Directional Drilling
Directional Drilling is a cost effective and environmentally friendly solution for many underground installation projects. Instead of digging trenches to lay pipes/ducts and cables EPS Trenchless Installations use a technique called horizontal directional drilling or HDD.
This method involves drilling a pilot borehole along a predetermined bore path. The hole is then enlarged following the path set by the pilot bore, this is known as back reaming. Then the product pipe is pulled in behind this.
Pipe sizes range from 25mm to 225mm with distances up to 90m installed in one shot. Directional drilling uses a small footprint with no need for deep excavations and operates through various ground types.

Domestic Moling
Impact Moling is a cost effective and environmentally friendly solution for many underground installation projects. Instead of digging trenches to lay pipes/ducts and cables EPS Trenchless Installations use a technique called Moling.
This method involves excavating pits at intervals for the mole to be placed. The mole is then entered into the earth on the horizontal face at the bottom of the pit. Destination pits of similar proportions are also dug, and this is where the mole emerges. The mole itself is a steel cylinder, it works as a pneumatic cylinder with pulsed compressed air causing the head of the mole to repeatedly hammer against the soil in front of the mole. The mole displaces the soil creating a bore for the new services to then be pulled through. This reduces the installation time, disturbance and cost.
Pipe sizes range from 25mm to 150mm with distances up to 20m installed in one shot (absolute perfect ground conditions).

Water Leak Detection & Pipe Tracing
Our engineers are trained and experienced in using various types of leak detection equipment and listening devices to pinpoint leaks and locate water supply pipes quickly and efficiently so that the necessary repairs can be speedily carried out.
Even when water rises to the surface, it does not necessarily mean the leak is located at this point, as water tends to find the easiest route of escape. It is important to recognize that leak detection is not an exact science and it is not always possible to locate some leaks using listening devices alone - it may be necessary to excavate.
Leaks from plastic pipes are harder to locate as they are quieter than those from metal-based pipes and therefore the sound is more difficult to detect. In addition, property owners do not always have accurate records of the route of their supply pipes and any alterations that may have taken place. In some instances, it may be necessary to carry out excavation work to narrow down the length of supply pipe to pinpoint the leak.

Common Water Supply Pipe Work
Often older houses, mostly terraced houses and occasionally some semi-detached houses, use a common supply pipe system (Shared supply). This is a pipe that supplies the water from the mains to two or more properties using a shared stop tap. In effect this means that you share the supply pipe that branches off from the mains with your neighbours.
Find & Fix
At EPS we always offer the best solution for you. Our FIND & FIX service offers localised water pipe repairs to your burst water mains. Our engineers are trained and experienced in using various types of leak detection equipment and listening devices to pinpoint leaks and locate water supply pipes quickly and efficiently so that the necessary repairs can be speedily carried out.

Pipe Bursting
Pipe Bursting is the trenchless method of replacing or upsizing buried pipelines without the need for a traditional open cut. The latter can lead to all sorts of types of damage to pipes including: breakage, incrustation, discharge obstacles, position deviations (misalignment, split sockets), tears, leakages and mechanical wear and tear.
Feasibility Studies
We conduct a full feasibility study in order to help you plan your project. And by following all of the relevant guidelines we can ensure that your project is properly planned out and safely executed. EPS Ltd readily enforces HSE Executive guidelines and uses subsurface detection equipment to avoid and prevent any excavation/drilling accidents and/or damage to utilities.
We conduct underground infrastructure surveys during the project design stage to ensure appropriate measures are taken to avoid any service conflicts. We use the latest radio-detection cable locators and ground penetrating radar (GPR) to confirm and complement existing drawings and other records prior to development and excavation operations.
