Commercial Moling

Stockcode:

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).
