01Overview

Services below the surface, delivered in the field.

Cities are layered. Below every road sits a corridor of telecom, power, gas and water services — and new infrastructure has to find its way through them.

Acuity StoneDrill executes underground utility works with the same field discipline as our drilling: locate first, plan the route, then build it with as little disruption as the ground allows.

02Process

How the work runs.

  1. 01

    Locate

    Existing services mapped before ground is broken.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Route, method and sequencing set around site constraints.

  3. 03

    Execute

    Works carried out under field supervision.

  4. 04

    Restore

    Surfaces reinstated and route records handed over.

03Applications

Where it is used.

  • 01

    Utility ducts & conduits

    Underground ducts and conduits for new and expanding networks.

  • 02

    Corridor crossings

    Crossings through congested utility corridors.

  • 03

    Urban works

    Execution in confined urban sites with live traffic and access.

  • 04

    Associated civil works

    Pits, chambers and reinstatement associated with underground routes.

04Execution methodology

Controlled from start to finish.

Locate before you dig
Utility detection and marking ahead of all excavation and drilling.
Least-disruptive method
Trenchless where it makes sense; open-cut where it is the right answer.
Public interface
Barricading, signage and access maintained around the works.
Records
As-built information captured for the asset owner.

07FAQ

Questions, answered.

It is the field delivery of underground service routes — ducts, conduits and pipes for telecom, power, gas or water — including locating existing services, installation and reinstatement.

HDD is our core method, but the right method depends on the ground and the site. Each section is assessed before work starts.
