UNDERGROUND UTILITIES INSTALLATION
The method for underground utilities installation is the same whether the job requires water pipes, gas pipes, electrical ducting or cabling. It often makes sense while we are there to get us to enable the supply for any service the premises are likely to need. Sometimes we will use directional drilling, sometimes moling, depending on the conditions for the project.

Method: Drill or Mole?
To determine if we will need to drill or mole, the factors we consider are:
- Ground conditions
- Distance to cover
- Launch accessibility
- Pipe diameter
- Depth requirement
- Underground obstructions
Usually it is practical to install all underground services required in one drill or mole shot.
Cost Factors
The bulk of the cost is in the set up of the machines and operatives. Factors we consider when calculating the costs of a job are:
- Location
- Ground conditions
- Preparation required
- Specialist equipment required
