Directional bore and pipe burst with same equipment.

Avoid the time and cost of restoration by boring or bursting a new pipe.

Advantages of Power Mole pipe bursting and boring machines:

• Bellies can remain a problem if pipe bursting, bore in a new pipe in at any grade needed.

• If the existing pipe is collapsed or obstructions block feeding a cable through to burst the pipe, then push the rods through or bore in a new pipe.

• Pipe burst cast iron, concrete, HDPE, Asbestos cement, PVC, ductile iron, Orangeburg and clay pipes and others. 

• No extra space needed before the connection to steer the bore

• Powered by standard excavator hydraulic systems or use our portable hydraulic power pack units.

• Easily dis-assembles into smaller and lighter pieces for easy transportation and storage.

• 50 years experience building trenchless equipment

• Tough design and construction

• No restoration in between pits

• Safer than horizontal boring since the new pipe goes into the same location as the old pipe.

• Increase pipe size

• Steel rods are more durable than cable strands

• Doesn't reduce pipe diameter like pipe lining.

• Low operating and maintenance costs

The Power Mole underground directional boring and pipe bursting machines replace existing pipes or install new pipes without damaging roadways, driveways, landscaping, buildings, sidewalks and other structures reducing the project time and cost. The Power Mole directional horizontal boring machines cost much less than directional drilling machines.

• Up to 8-inch pipe

• Steerable horizontal boring

• 84,822 lbs. of force
