• Consideration must be given to ground conditions and site sensitivity e.g. using the lightest available tracked drilling rig.
• Exact location must be agreed on site to avoid large trees, therefore requiring frequent changes in direction.
• Pipe must be laid at a minimum depth of 2.5m or lower in order to minimise damage to tree roots.
