PIPE
BURSTING is the ideal technique to
use for the rehabilitation and replacement
of utility lines such as gas, water,
sewer, telephone, and power. PIPE
BURSTING efficiently bursts clay,
concrete, cast iron, and PVC pipe.
PIPE BURSTING is the ideal technique
to use for the rehabilitation of ageing
utility systems located in congested
areas such as municipalities, city
centers, and manufacturing or industrial
plants for several reasons. The process
involves very little disturbance caused
by open trench excavation. A constant-tension
winch guides the pipe bursting tool
through the host pipe. The rear expander
displaces host pipe fragments into
the surrounding soil, while the tool
pulls in the new polyethylene pipe.
In addition, this process generally
costs less than the conventional replacement
through the open cut method.
