Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)
EPS provide underground utility installation that is fast, efficient and environmentally friendly. Our streamlined process require minimal space which avoids unnecessary disruption and inconvenience.
There is no need for extensive surface cutting or digging long trenches. ‘No-dig’ techniques are very adaptable to various soil conditions and protected locations.
This technique provides accurate utility installation, which also protects wildlife and any ecologically sensitive locations. It is an incredibly cost-effective method of replacing old utility systems or installing new utilities.

Water Mains Replacement
Our state-of-the-art Moling equipment will bore a new and accurate channel for a new water pipe work to be installed, without the need to dig up large areas of gardens and driveways.
This means the new watermain pipe can be installed efficiently with minimal disruption to you and your property.
Moling UK
Impact Moling is a way of installing new pipes, cables and ducts under the ground without the need to dig continuous trenches. Instead, pits are dug at intervals in the ground and the mole is lowered inside.
The mole then tunnels through the earth, from the first pit through to the destination pit leaving a clear narrow tunnel large enough for the required utility to be pulled through.
The mole in reality is a steel pneumatic cylinder, with compressed air that hammers through the soil creating a bore hole for the new pipe to be laid. This massively reduces installation time, disturbance to the surface and the cost.
