Short answer
Gökkaya Hafriyat provides mole boring (köstebek kazısı) in Famagusta (Gazimağusa) and İskele, North Cyprus. Mole boring creates a horizontal passage underground without opening the whole surface. It is used to pass cables and pipes under roads, pavements, concrete yards and gardens.
How does mole boring work?
- An entry pit and an exit pit are opened at each end of the crossing.
- The boring equipment is aligned, taking existing underground lines into account.
- The equipment advances through the ground to form a horizontal passage.
- The pipe or cable is pulled through and the pits are closed.
When is it the right choice?
- When a road or pavement should not be cut
- When a concrete yard, car park or landscaping must be preserved
- When traffic or a business must not be interrupted
- When a line must pass under a wall or similar obstacle
Does it suit all ground?
No. Hard rock, rubble fill and congested utility areas can make the method difficult. Suitability should not be confirmed until the crossing length and ground conditions have been assessed.

Frequently asked questions
- Is mole boring cheaper than an open trench?
- Not always. Boring has its own cost, but it can reduce items such as concrete or asphalt repair. Compare the two with surface reinstatement included.
- How far can mole boring go?
- The possible distance depends on the equipment, the ground and the line diameter. Share the crossing measurements and we can assess suitability.
- Is any digging required?
- Usually pits are needed at the start and end of the crossing. The difference is that the surface between them is not opened along its length.
