Impact Moling Specialists in Scotland

ScotWater offers professional Impact Moling services across Scotland, providing a precise, non-invasive solution for installing underground water supply pipes. This advanced trenchless technique allows us to work efficiently while preserving your property’s landscaping and hardscapes, making it the ideal choice for water supply pipe installations and replacements.


What is Impact Moling?

Impact Moling is a modern method of installing water supply pipes underground without the need for large trenches. By creating a tunnel beneath the surface, we can install new pipes with minimal disturbance to your property, reducing disruption and saving time.

 

How Does Impact Moling Work?
 

Using a pneumatically driven tool, known as a soil displacement hammer or “mole,” our equipment creates a narrow tunnel underground. This tunnel allows water pipes to be laid without extensive digging. Small launch and retrieval pits are excavated at strategic points, and the mole moves through the soil, leaving a clear path for the new pipe to be installed. This efficient process minimizes mess and keeps your property intact.

 

Why Choose Impact Moling Over Traditional Trenching Methods?
 

1. Moling Creates Minimal Property Disruption
   Avoid large-scale excavation with our trenchless moling techniques, which protect gardens, driveways, and other features.
    

2. Moling is Fast and Reliable
   Impact Moling speeds up the installation work, reducing project timelines compared to traditional excavation methods.
    

3. Moling is Cost-Effective
   Lower restoration and reinstatement costs from moling save you money.
    

4. Moling is Eco-Friendly
   Trenchless installations reduce waste and protect the environment because moling requires less energy.
