Replacement of pipes or cables without excavation

Horizontal drilling technology can be used to replace pipelines, saving time and money, as there is no need for major excavations and interventions in the surrounding area. Whether reaching the existing pipeline from a small entry point (breaking the old pipe and immediately installing the new one), installing a new pipeline within the old one, or creating a completely new pipeline network, this method can be particularly useful in urban areas.

Pipe string pushing with simultaneous excavation – Auger Boring – from 12 to 60 inches

Trenchless drilling method where a metal pipe is installed in the ground by pushing it from the entrance trench to the exit trench. The soil is transported out of the pipe and into the entrance trench by the impeller of the screws located inside the pipe. This method is used for the installation of water, sewage, natural gas pipes, etc., under roads, train lines and generally in areas where excavation is not possible.

Technical installation of metal pipes using pneumatic hammers

With this method, metal pipes are installed underground, without excavation, using air compressors and pneumatic hammers. Ideal method for installing pipelines under train tracks, as it minimizes disturbance to the ground surface, while simultaneously installing the pipeline. The soil is removed from the pipe after its installation is complete, minimizing the risk of subsidence.

Horizontal Directional Drilling - with new methods and continuous renewal of the technique and Horizontal Drilling in any rocky terrain

The horizontal directional drilling method is a method of installing underground networks and cables, with minimal intervention on the ground surface. This method is particularly useful in cases of areas where excavation is not possible, as well as in areas where the passage of pipelines could be a complex process, due to existing networks, highways, natural landscapes, etc., as it is the method with the least intervention in the natural space.

Drilling route mapping via GPS

During horizontal directional drilling, the location system used finds the drill head. This data is sent upon completion of the drilling, in plan form and via Google Earth. 
Founded in 2008 and with a continuous presence in this sector since 1972, the company has managed to be present in major underground network projects in Greece and abroad.
