Impact Moling in Wallington, Banstead, Sutton & Surrey | A Highly Effective Means of Handling Utilities Upgrade & Installation
One of the most exciting techniques that we make use of in our day to day work is impact moling. The primary application for impact moling lies in utilities upgrade and installation, One Shot’s bread and butter. It provides a swift and minimally invasive means to lay pipes and cabling for water, gas or electric supply. The method significantly reduces surface disruption, mitigating the many environmental disturbances commonly associated with traditional trenching methods. It’s also a fantastic tool to have in our belt when attending to urban properties around Wallington, Banstead and Sutton, helping us navigate logistical and environmental challenges in tight spaces.
How Does Impact Moling Work?
Impact moling is a trenchless method for underground construction that’s steadily become more sophisticated and commercially available since being introduced back in the late 60’s. The technique involves the use of a pneumatic hammer, powered by compressed air or hydraulic power, creating a bore path underground. The hammer strikes the soil, breaking it apart and displacing it outward, allowing for the insertion of pipes, cables, or conduits without the need for disruptive excavation. While dependent on soil type and certain environmental factors, typically pipe/cabling in lengths of up to 20m can be pulled through the openings we make.
This makes it, in our opinion, an absolutely vital means of carrying out essential groundworks and civil engineering tasks, the likes of which we offer in areas surrounding Wallington, Banstead and Sutton.
