A commonly known trenchless technique is moles , which is a pneumatic ramming method used to perform underground installations. It consists in driving or pulling a pipe placed under the ground surface using a mole without interfering with the infrastructure on the surface. Moleling devices are characterized by average accuracy and penetration force, which is why they are effective in overcoming short sections and minor obstacles located underground. Although mole is one of the oldest trenchless technologies, an alternative to this method is gaining popularity – the use of a controlled, hydraulic directional pipe jacking.
However, supporters of traditional pressing techniques will find a wide selection of professional mole machines in our company’s offer . We invite you to contact our specialists – they will help you choose the most beneficial solution.
What to look for when buying mole machines?
When deciding to buy a moles machine , a supporter of this method should pay attention to the diameter of the pipes that will be installed – based on this, the size of the device should be selected. The larger the mole, the larger and therefore more expensive to operate must be the air compressor, the operation of which is a key element of the entire mole process. Operating large machines also requires the involvement of numerous technical personnel, which also generates additional costs. For these reasons, it is worth optimizing the choice of moles machine , adapting the equipment to the type of work performed.
