There are three water main replacement techniques being used today, one of which is trenching.
Here at ADI Leak Detection in Luton, we specialize in long-distance water mains replacement and installation.
We utilize two methods: Horizontal Directional Drilling and Moling. Each technique comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages when it comes to pipe replacement or installation.
The choice of method depends on various factors and challenges unique to each job.
We take into consideration the length of the pipe that needs to be replaced, the type of soil it is placed in, the cost of remedial works, and the level of accessibility to the site.
Horizontal Directional Drilling, also known as HDD, is a cutting-edge technique that revolutionizes the installation and replacement of underground water main pipes. Our team of skilled engineers utilizes ground penetrating radar to carefully assess the area and devise a strategic underground path that avoids any potential obstacles. With precision and expertise, we drill a small pilot hole, constantly monitoring its progress using specialized equipment called sonde. This ensures that the drill head is consistently moving in the correct direction and at the optimal depth.
Once the drilling process reaches its endpoint, we seamlessly attach the new mains water pipe. But here's where the magic happens - we reverse the process, gently pulling the new water pipe back through the pilot hole. This ingenious method is particularly advantageous for water mains that require replacement and span over 20 meters in length. It's especially beneficial for areas that have already been beautifully landscaped, as the HDD technique minimizes disruption to the land. In fact, we can install up to an impressive 100 meters of new water pipe in a single day!
By combining innovation, technical expertise, and a commitment to minimal disturbance, our HDD technique offers a remarkably efficient solution for water main installations and replacements. Say goodbye to extensive disruptions and hello to a smoother, more streamlined process. With our team of professionals, your underground water main pipes will be expertly handled, ensuring reliable water supply without compromising the beauty of your surroundings.
Moling is an incredibly cost-effective method for laying or replacing water pipes that are less than 25 meters long. The process starts with one of our skilled engineers digging an entry hole and an exit hole in the ground, both reaching the necessary depth. Then comes the exciting part: our trusty impact mole, powered by a pneumatic drill, barges its way through the soil, creating a clear path towards the exit hole. Once the mole triumphantly emerges, we attach the new water mains pipe to it and gently pull it back through the newly created pathway. And here's the best part: since we only need to dig two holes, your property can easily be restored to its original state, with hardly any signs of the work that took place. It's a much less disruptive alternative to digging trenches for pipe installation. So, wave goodbye to the hassle and say hello to a simpler, more efficient solution!
Trenching is a highly disruptive process for fitting a new water mains pipe. It involves using machinery to dig a long narrow trench the entire length of the new pipe that needs to be fitted. As you can imagine this can be a time consuming, messy process and the destruction left behind can be high. This process is best suited for areas that have yet to be landscaped, such as new build properties that are unfinished and are able to be out of action for a longer period of time.
