Pipe Bursting & Trenchless Technology
Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of replacing buried pipelines (such as sewer, water, or natural gas pipes) without the need for a traditional construction trench.Advantages include:
- Replaces Size for Size or Upsize. (liners are always smaller than the host pipe)
- New HDPE Pipe is Fused together, so no chance for I & I on new pipe.
- This is Pipe Replacement in Place. Not a repair as with Liners.
- Replace Laterals or Main Lines
- Simplifies installation of new utility lines
- Gas
- Water
- Sewer
- Phone
- Power
- Cable
- Speeds replacement of existing underground lines by destroying and replacing old pipe
- Follows existing utility path
- No need to move surrounding utilities
- Reduces excavation costs up to 90%
- Environmentally friendly with minimal surface disruption
- Follows existing utility path
