Our impact moles cover a distance of up to 15m in one mole shot and install ducts up to 63mm.
We are also able to install new drains to manholes in the road by precisely drilling at a constant fall of 1:100 without excavating the ground around the property.
Locations
Mole teams work UK wide and often a job starts by looking at the location on Google Earth whilst discussing the contract requirements with the customer who will then request plans of underground services from the utilities.
