When it comes to installing a new water supply pipe, traditional excavation methods can be time-consuming, disruptive, and costly. Thankfully, modern techniques like impact moling provide an efficient and cost-effective alternative. This blog explores what impact moling is and why it’s the preferred choice for many property owners looking to upgrade their water supply system.
What is Impact Moling?
Impact moling is a trenchless technology used to lay underground pipes with minimal surface disruption. The process involves using a pneumatically driven mole, a torpedo-shaped device, which creates a borehole through the ground. New pipes, such as MDPE blue plastic pipes, are then pulled through the borehole to establish the connection.
The Advantages of Impact Moling
- Minimal Surface Disruption:
- Unlike traditional methods requiring extensive trenching, impact moling only requires small access points. Typically, a 1m x 1m excavation is needed every 10 metres along the pipe’s route.
- This reduces the impact on gardens, driveways, pathways, and other landscaped areas, preserving the appearance of your property.
- Time-Saving:
- Impact moling significantly reduces the time required for pipe installation. Fewer excavations mean faster project completion, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of an upgraded water supply sooner.
- Cost-Effective:
- With less digging involved, labour and reinstatement costs are substantially lower. This makes impact moling a budget-friendly option without compromising on quality.
- Environmental Benefits:
- The reduced excavation means less soil displacement and waste. This minimises the environmental footprint of the installation process.
- Adaptability:
- Impact moling can navigate beneath obstacles like roads, trees, and existing utilities, making it an ideal solution for challenging or complex installation routes.
- Durability and Precision:
- The technique ensures a precise installation path, reducing the likelihood of pipe damage during the process and ensuring the longevity of your new water supply system.
