Leaders in trenchless installation

Quality, cost effective, environmentally-friendly solutions for
residential and commercial projects



Install, repair or renew utilities without excavating

Innovative underground technology ensures we can install, repair or renew utilities – ducts and cables using equipment and techniques that minimise or eliminate the need for excavation. We offer professional, environmentally friendly services in directional drilling for residential clients, small businesses, large corporates, utility providers, local authorities and homeowners.

Modern specialist construction equipment

We have modern specialist construction equipment including directional drills, mud separation plants, hydro-excavators, de-watering equipment, excavators 1.5 to 35-ton, and pipe jacking rigs. Our equipment is serviced, maintained with multiple units capable of installing larger diameter pipes, and additional support machinery for most situations.  

Dedicated to environmental preservation

We pride ourselves on our commitment to keeping environmental impact to a minimum; to ensure day to day life within the vicinity of the project can continue as normal, while reducing the earth movement. Constant focus on reduction of our environmental footprint.
