Drilling in Barnstaple, Using 4X Drill Rig

Barnstaple Drilling, Using 4X drill rig

Mole Utilities were contacted by client RA Dalton to complete the directional drilling works for a new pumped drain for a new development due to be built in the Barnstaple area.

The route consisted of crossing a busy dual carriageway, and a very built up, new, residential area.

Due to council restrictions, the works were split into two phases. Phase one was to cross the carriageway, on night shifts. Phase two was a few months later, crossing the residential area into the new demarcation chamber which was installed in conjunction with the works completed by Mole site team.

Phase one 70m of 90mmOD MDPE BLACK pumped drainage

Phase two 160m of 90mmOD MDPE BLACK pumped drainage

Our tracking unit allows for full transparency on location, depth and provides full GPS data for the client.

Mole Group were able to excavate the with the assistance of Eagle Plant hire who were able to supply the required digger and dumper and Speedy hire for the barricading. Further assistance from Eddie Pollitt, who was able to collect any surplus waste and supply some fresh MOT stone.

RA Dalton are the perfect client to work with making sure all permissions, plans and TM is in place for a seamless trenchless installation. It really makes the job more enjoyable when everything goes to plan!
