There are three water main replacement techniques used today, one of which is trenching.
Hey there, at ADI Leak Detection in Newbury, we are the go-to experts when it comes to long distance water mains replacement and installation.
We’ve got two techniques up our sleeves – Horizontal Directional Drilling & Moling. Each of these methods has its own perks and downsides when it comes to replacing or installing pipes.
Now, which method we choose depends on a few factors and challenges we face at each job.
We take into account the length of the pipe that needs replacing, the type of soil it’s in, the cost of remedial works, and the level of site access we have.
So, let’s get to work and find the best solution for your specific needs!
Horizontal Directional Drilling or HDD is the latest technique used to install or replace underground water main pipes. Our experienced engineers access the area using ground penetrating radar and plan a path underground avoiding any obstacles then drill a small pilot hole. Using sonde we will track the progress of the drill head to ensure it is going in the correct direction and at the right depth. Once the drill reaches the finishing point the new mains water pipe is attached and the process is reversed and the new water pipe is pulled back through the pilot hole. This is a great option for water mains that need to be replaced and are over 20 meters in length, perfect for already landscaped areas as there is very little disruption to the land and we are able to fit up to 100 meters of new water pipe in a single day!
Moling, the savvy choice for laying or replacing water pipes under 25 meters, is a cost-effective solution. Our skilled engineers begin by excavating an entry hole and an exit hole, both at the required depth. Enter the impact mole, a remarkable piece of machinery powered by a pneumatic drill. This mighty mole will forcefully carve a pathway towards the exit hole, leaving progress in its wake. Once the mole reaches the exit, we connect the new water mains pipe to it and effortlessly pull it back through the newly created route. With only two holes to be dug, your property can be restored to its original state without a trace of the work that took place. Say goodbye to the days of disruptive trench-digging for pipe laying; moling is a much more efficient and seamless method.
Trenching, oh boy, what a disruption! It's a process used to fit a new water mains pipe, but let me tell you, it's not for the faint of heart. Picture this: big, noisy machinery digging a long, narrow trench for the entire length of the pipe. And let's not forget the mess it creates, it's like a tornado just swept through. The aftermath? Destruction galore! So, it's safe to say that this method is best suited for areas that haven't been landscaped yet, like those new build properties that are still unfinished. It's a process that requires time and patience, as it may take a while for things to get back to normal. But hey, sometimes you gotta get a little messy to get the job done, right?
