Heartland Pipelines, the family-run STW-approved Tier 1 contractor established in 2005, is inviting water companies, developers and principal contractors across the Midlands and UK to use its Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) division for complex trenchless installations with minimal disruption.

HDD installs water, gas, sewer, electric and communications pipes and ducts beneath roads, railways, rivers and sensitive landscapes — avoiding lengthy open-cut excavation and road closures. Heartland’s fleet of five-plus directional drilling rigs can drill all ground types including rock, install utilities up to 630mm diameter, and complete single drill shots of up to 500m. The company was among the first in the UK to install ductile iron pipeline using HDD and regularly works near SSSIs and conservation areas.

“Often the quickest and most cost-effective method of underground utility installation, we offer trenchless technologies from directional drilling and boring to pipe bursting, sliplining and moling,” said Robert Ellis, Managing Director.

Beyond HDD directional drilling services, Heartland delivers end-to-end schemes: WIRS self-lay water networks, pipeline installation, electrofusion and buttfusion welding, pipe testing and chlorination, vacuum excavation, traffic management and reinstatement. Credentials include WIRS/WaterSafe, UKAS and ISO 14001. Based in Allscott, Telford, teams mobilise nationwide for Severn Trent Water, approved contractors, developers and local authorities. For a no-obligation quote, provide location, utility type, diameter, length and ground conditions.
