Utilities
Water and sewer pipe installation
Trenchless water and sewer sections where open cut is impractical or too costly.
Water and sewer routes often cross pavements, yards and existing networks. HDD installs pipes with less reinstatement work.
When to use HDD
- Water mains under roads and sites
- Sewer pipe installation without a long open trench
- Sites where landscaping must be protected
- Sections with limited excavation access
Work sequence
From route data to pull-back — adapted to diameter and ground.

What we need from you
- Approximate location / address
- Start and end points (map or sketch)
- Desired pipe / conduit diameter
- Approximate route length
- Known obstacles (road, rail, rivers, existing utilities)
- Contact person and phone / email
Technical limits
- Practical limits up to about 700 mm diameter, 25 m depth and 450 m per bore — depending on ground and geometry.
- Actual capability depends on soil, pipe material, diameter, access and permits.
- Every job is assessed individually — there is no one identical process for every site.

FAQ
What diameters can you install?
Working limits are up to about 700 mm — the real maximum depends on rig, soil and route.
Does HDD work for sewers?
Yes, when route, gradient and diameter fit the design. We assess each case separately.
Is a design required?
Usually yes — we deliver the drilling stage. Design and full utility build-out are often by the main contractor or Foxberry Team.
