Our Capabilities
Directional Drilling
MME’s primary area of expertise lies within utility installation via horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and other forms of trenchless technology.
HDD provides a trenchless solution for the installation of pipelines, conduits and cables primarily for water, power, gas and communication services.
The technology provides advantages over conventional excavation methods by reducing site footprint, with minimal disruption to traffic, low costs, short completion times, and low risk to personal safety and the environment.
MME is able to instantly mobilise to any site in Western Australia and provide a quality HDD service. We are confident in our ability to deliver high risk projects, including under rivers and rail lines, over all terrain, and in heavily congested metropolitan areas.
Flexi Drilling
MME owns and operates Western Australia’s only flexi drilling machinery. Our flexi drills enables us to access high-risk, difficult projects and confined areas such as narrow streets and building sites within heavily congested residential and commercial locations.
Our flexi drills are operated from diggers and excavators and have a 2.5m footprint, with a pullback pressure of 10,000 pounds. They can pull a range of pipes, from 20mm – 350mm and are able to drill out to 100m if required. These machines are suited to smaller projects, such as road crossings, and have enabled MME to complete projects other contractors in our field could not access.
Our flexi drills have been utilised on several notable projects, including the Great Eastern Highway Bypass Upgrade project, the Perth Entertainment Centre, and various service installations for the Water Corporation and Western Power.

MME has been a Western Power preferred vendor for Distribution Network Support Services (DNSS) Projects since 2002 and for Customer-Funded Works Panel Projects since 2015. As a Western Power preferred vendor, we deliver in excess of 300 projects each year and have a track record of delivering projects on time, on budget and to the satisfaction of our client and customers. Our track record with Western Power demonstrates our ability to adhere to strict commercial and technical assessment criteria and to deliver projects to the highest standard of workmanship.
