Case Study: Lead Water Pipe Replacement Using Trenchless Moling‍ ‍Project Overview Client: Private Homeowner Location: Cheltenham, Gloucestershire Service: Lead Water Supply Replacement The Challenge A homeowner in Cheltenham contacted Pinpoint Utilities Ltd after experiencing a significant leak on their ageing lead water supply. Following an initial site survey, our engineers identified that the damaged section of pipe was located beneath the property. Rather than making significant internal adjustments to the plumbing and pipework, such as running new pipework through walls and ceiling spaces, we were able to use trenchless moling technology to install a new water supply beneath the terrace house, avoiding unnecessary disruption to the home. Our Solution After assessing the site, we designed a trenchless installation that avoided the need for internal excavation. Using specialist impact moling equipment, our team installed a new water supply beneath the property, bypassing the existing lead pipe entirely. This approach allowed us to replace the defective water supply while preserving the interior of the home and significantly reducing the amount of excavation required. The Result The customer received a brand-new, reliable water supply without the disruption normally associated with replacing an underground service beneath a property. By choosing a trenchless installation, we were able to: * Eliminate the need for internal excavation. * Avoid significant alterations to existing plumbing and pipework. * Minimise disruption to the homeowner and their property. * Replace the ageing lead water supply with a modern, durable alternative. * Complete the work efficiently while maintaining a high standard of workmanship.
