DOMESTIC MOLING ALNWICK

Impact moling consists in using a pneumatically powered steel cylinder to perforate the earth. The idea is to create a narrow channel that’s perfect for then installing piping.

This technique is ideal as it is minimally intrusive: there is no need to dig trenches nor does it displace large volumes of soil, as is the case with compact boring. Impact boring is quick and affordable.

Hydrosure handles both domestic moling Alnwick services impact boring and the installation of pipe work.

HOW WE DO IT

Well, imagine a device that’s shaped somewhat like a torpedo that has a hammer mounted on its nose, the quick alternating motion of which provokes an impact that propels the entire torpedo forward. The device is pneumatic, meaning it’s powered by compressed air, and the hammer speed is variable —the device advances between 7 and 120 centimeters per minute.

The idea is to open a narrow passage, between 30mm and 180mm for a single pass, depending on the different settings. This makes it possible to then install pipes between 25mm and 150mm in diameter. Before the device is used, small holes may be dug along the path of the pipe work at regular intervals in order to facilitate easier installation of the water mains.

Residential moling is perfectly suited to softer ground such as clay, light gravel, and sand. The advantages to this technique are many, with the most obvious being that it is minimally invasive, trenchless, quick, cost effective, and if you have structural obstacles on top of the ground under which the water mains are to be installed you can simply dig underneath —just the way a mole would!
