Water Mains Replacement Methods

Horizontal Directional Drilling

Horizontal Directional Drilling benefits from being the least impactful way to install or replace underground water mains pipes.

Horizontal Directional Drilling is most likely to be cost-effective on lengths of over 20 metres or more. Directional drilling uses a specialist drilling rig to drill a pilot hole with precision and then pull the pipe back through the pilot hole.

The perfect solution for saving your driveway, garden or any other landscaped area from the destructive process of installing a new water main with minimal mess.

Moling

Moling is the method most commonly used by water mains replacement contractors.

We provide moling services alongside our Horizontal directional drilling services.

Moling is most suited to lengths of less than 20 meters or non landscaped surfaces.

Moling uses a specialist piece of machinery (Mole) powered by a pneumatic drill to force its way through the ground creating a pathway in its wake for the installation of a new water mains.

Moling can be very messy, time consuming and can put areas out of use for long periods of time!

Trench Digging

Trench Digging is the oldest method used for water mains replacement. As the name suggests, it involves manually digging a narrow trench in the ground to enable the installation, inspection, and/or replacement of water mains pipes.

The process of digging a trench is highly disruptive and time consuming. Trenching is associated with high remedial costs for landscaped surfaces.

Trenching is best suited for new build sites, where surface displcement is not a cause for concern.

Trench Digging is most definitely messy, very time consuming and will definitely put areas out of use for long periods of time!
