I need horizontal directional drilling for a mains water pipe with a diameter less than 2 inches. The required drilling length is less then 3 meters. Ideal candidates should have experience with horizontal drilling projects and appropriate equipment for this scope of work. Thames water replaces old lead pipes to the external stopcock of the homes on my street. So I need to drill a bore from the external stopcock to the basement of my house. The distance is around 3 metres long. The stopcock and the area around is all excavated so access is good. The depth of the hole to be drilled is determined by the depth of exposed existing mains water pipe. Access in the cellar is also very good. The access to the external stopcock is good as the area is already dug up, exposing the existing lead pipe to be replaced. The cellar is also easily accessible.

Hello, I am based in the UK and I would be happy to help with your horizontal directional drilling requirement for the new mains water pipe connection. I have experience with small-scale HDD/bore drilling projects and understand the importance of accurate alignment, minimal disruption, and protecting existing services. Your project sounds straightforward with the excavation already completed at the external stopcock and good access available from the cellar. I can carry out the bore for the under-2-inch water pipe over the approximately 3-metre distance, working to the required depth based on the exposed pipe level. I will ensure the work is completed carefully and efficiently with the appropriate equipment for this scope. I would be happy to discuss the access details, pipe requirements, and arrange a suitable time to complete the job. Thank you, and I look forward to working with you.
