At MacMole, we specialise in trenchless methods of new water supply installations and other service installations. We undertake impact moling and pipe ramming to give our customers in Maidstone and the surrounding areas we cover the most efficient, undisruptive and cost-effective solutions. This guide explains the applications and benefits of these technologies and how we utilise them for water pipe replacements, cable ducting installations, underground cable installations and water pipe repairs. With 86 years of combined experience, the MacMole team are experts in moling services, bringing professional and reliable solutions to every job.
Trenchless methods are ideal for a wide range of requirements, including domestic, commercial and agricultural projects. They allow us to install services under roads, driveways, lawns, walls, buildings and other surfaces or obstructions, with only minor excavations necessary for access points.
Pipe ramming and impact moling are ideal for installing a new water supply, whether for residential properties or commercial requirements in Maidstone. With these systems, we can install new water supplies without damaging driveways, roads, forecourts or other hard surfaces, and without causing any significant disruption to your daily life or business.
MacMole regularly undertakes moling services to replace outdated, damaged or ineffective water pipes. This is the least intrusive way to carry out water pipe replacements or water pipe repairs, allowing us to resolve issues such as leaks, slow water flow or rusty or unreliable pipework, without having to complete pipework excavation.
Trenchless technology isn’t just for water supplies. MacMole also provides impact moling and pipe ramming for cable ducting installations in the Maidstone area. We often undertake moling for electric, data cable and telephone ducting, as well as pipe ramming for larger underground ducting. Our services also cover underground cable installation without ducting.
Pipe ramming is especially beneficial for creating carrier pipes for other services, including gas and oil pipes and sewerage.
Pipe ramming and moling services offer many benefits over more traditional methods. The following are the advantages of the cable laying and water pipe services we provide customers in Maidstone and the South East on a daily basis:
Because these methods eliminate the need for trenching or pipework excavation, there’s no need to close roads or footpaths, and duct, pipe or cable laying doesn’t get in the way of domestic or commercial activities.
And, consequently, minimal reinstatement requirements, which is especially beneficial where specialist surfaces are present.
Moling and pipe ramming systems are suitable for a broad range of requirements, from water pipe replacements and water pipe repairs to cable ducting installation and underground cable installation.
Trenchless technologies result in highly efficient projects that save our customers time and money, whether we’re repairing existing pipes or laying underground ducting, new water supply pipes or gas and oil pipes.
