What is trenchless moling?
The method uses displacement to create a bore and thus is the most appropriate for compressible soils. Difficulty can arise with cobbles, dense dry clays due to the difficulty in compaction and with loose sands and gravels due to collapse of the borehole. In order to ensure successful completion of an impact moling job, it is essential to know the ground conditions and to identify the depth and location of all existing utilities and other underground objects nearby.
