Impact Moling

At Flo Utilities, we specialise in impact moling, an advanced trenchless technology that allows for underground pipe installation with minimal surface disruption. Our expert team serves Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding areas, covering a 15-mile radius including Derbyshire, Stafford, Stone, Rugely, and Cannock with professional moling solutions.

What is Impact Moling?

Impact moling is a sophisticated trenchless pipe installation technique that creates underground channels for new pipes without the need for extensive excavation. This innovative method uses pneumatic equipment to create a pathway underground, allowing for the installation of water supply pipes and other utilities while preserving the surface landscape.

For properties with established gardens, driveways, patios, or other landscaping features, impact moling offers a revolutionary alternative to traditional trenching methods, dramatically reducing disruption and restoration costs.

The Benefits of Impact Moling Technology

Choosing impact moling for your pipe installation or replacement offers numerous advantages:

• Preservation of Surface Features: Protect your carefully maintained gardens, expensive driveways, and established landscaping
• Reduced Restoration Costs: Minimal excavation means significantly lower reinstatement expenses
• Faster Installation: Complete projects in a fraction of the time required for traditional trenching
• Less Disruption: Maintain access to your property throughout the installation process
• Environmental Benefits: Reduced soil displacement and less machinery operation
• Cost-Effectiveness: Lower labour costs and minimal restoration requirements
• Versatility: Suitable for water mains, lead pipe replacements, and other utilities

• Your property has expensive driveways, patios, or paths that would be costly to reinstate
• You require water pipe installation across or near protected trees or valued plantings
• Access for conventional trenching would be difficult or disruptive
