Impact Moling – A Trenchless Solution for Water and Utility Installations

Impact moling is a cost-effective and non-invasive method for installing underground utilities, including water pipes, electrical cables, and telecoms. Using a specialist pneumatic mole, this technique creates a pathway below the surface without the need for extensive excavation, making it ideal for urban, residential, and commercial environments.

How Does Impact Moling Work?

The process involves using a high-powered, air-driven mole that burrows through the ground, displacing soil to form a tunnel. This allows for the installation of water pipes and other underground services beneath roads, driveways, gardens, and built-up areas while minimising disruption to the surrounding landscape.

Key Benefits of Impact Moling

Minimal Disruption: No need for open trenches, preserving existing surfaces.
Fast Installation: Significantly quicker than traditional trenching methods.
Cost-Effective: Reduces labour, reinstatement, and material costs.
Eco-Friendly: Causes less environmental disturbance compared to conventional digging.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for installing water pipes, cables, ducts, and telecoms beneath roads, driveways, and gardens.

Water Leak Detection Using Tracer Gas

We use hydrogen-nitrogen tracer gas to pinpoint underground water leaks. As this gas is lighter than air, it rises through the ground, allowing for fast and precise leak detection even under concrete and tarmac.

How It Works

The system introduces a non-toxic gas into the water pipe, which escapes through leaks and rises to the surface. Our specialised sensors detect the gas, allowing us to find the leak precisely.

Benefits of Using Tracer Gas

Non-invasive: No need for disruptive digging.
Highly accurate: Finds leaks even in difficult-to-reach areas.
Fast results: Minimises downtime and water loss.

Acoustic Ground Microphone for Leak Detection

We use state-of-the-art acoustic ground microphones to detect underground water leaks with precision. These devices pick up the distinct sounds of escaping water, helping us identify leak locations efficiently.

How It Works

Our trained technicians use acoustic listening devices to amplify the sound of water escaping from pipes. By analysing frequency patterns, we can pinpoint the exact location of a leak.

Why Choose Acoustic Leak Detection?

Accurate and reliable: Works even for small leaks.
Minimal disruption: No need for destructive investigations.
Fast detection: Saves time and prevents costly water damage.

Underground Pipe Repairs

Repair damaged or burst pipes using advanced trenchless technology, reducing disruption. While some excavation is needed, our methods limit digging, making the process faster and more efficient.

How It Works

The trenchless technique creates a small access point, allowing pipes to be installed with minimal disturbance. Ideal for areas with roads, gardens, or driveways, it avoids large-scale excavation.

Advantages of Trenchless Installation

Minimal excavation: Reduces surface damage and preserves landscaping.
Cost-effective: Lowers labour and reinstatement expenses.
Fast and reliable: Speeds up repairs compared to traditional trenching.

Thermal Imaging Camera for Leak Detection

Our thermal imaging cameras provide a non-invasive way to detect hidden leaks in water pipes, identifying temperature variations that indicate moisture presence.

How It Works

Using infrared technology, our thermal imaging cameras capture heat patterns in walls, floors, and ceilings. Cold spots indicate potential water leaks, allowing us to detect issues early.

Why Use Thermal Imaging?

Detects hidden leaks: Ideal for underfloor and concealed pipes.
Prevents damage: Early detection saves costly repairs.
Fast and efficient: Immediate results with no invasive work.
