What is Pipe Bursting?

Pipe bursting allows you to replace your old buried sewage pipelines without the need to dig and destroy your landscape. This trenchless solution is gaining popularity for its efficiency and minimal disruption to the surrounding environment. Initially developed to replace aging and damaged pipes, the pipe burst process has now become an integral part of many infrastructure projects.

The method is especially beneficial in urban areas, where trenching methods would lead to road closures, construction disruptions, and long-term difficulties for residents. Furthermore, the pipe burst process promotes an environmentally friendly approach, significantly reducing damage to surrounding landscapes, ecosystems, and existing structures. Beyond environmental benefits, the technique offers economic advantages. With no need to restore large areas of excavated land or repair resulting damage to nearby infrastructures, cities and homeowners can save a significant amount of money.

Benefits of Trenchless Pipe Bursting

Trenchless pipe bursting is a true revolution in sewer repair and underground pipe replacement. Here are some of the most significant benefits of this method:

• Comprehensive Pipe Damage Solutions
  Regardless of the type of damage—be it corrosion, cracks, or other underlying issues—trenchless pipe bursting offers a robust solution. It addresses the root cause of many problems such as clogs and sewage backups that plague households.
• Time Efficiency
  It is no longer necessary to excavate for hours or days in order to repair pipes. Trenchless techniques can complete a repair or replacement within a short period of time, providing a quick and clean alternative.
• Reduced Property Disruption
  With trenchless pipe repair, your landscape remains intact. Homeowners no longer have to worry about the visual effects of extensive digging and landscaping costs to fix everything back to normal.
• Cost Benefits
  The limited excavation involved in trenchless repair leads to financial savings. Instead of funding extensive landscaping restoration post-repair, homeowners find trenchless methods more budget-friendly.
• Enhanced Pipeline Capacity
  One notable feature of trenchless pipe bursting is the ability to upgrade to larger pipes. The updated installations often offer better water flow, ensuring smoother sewage and water movement through pipelines.
• Durable and Long-lasting
  Modern pipes, installed through trenchless methods, resist common dangers like root intrusion, animal activity, and corrosion. This means they offer longevity, ensuring homeowners won’t need frequent replacements or repairs.

How Trenchless Pipe Bursting Works

The trenchless pipe burst process is built on a simple, but effective principle: replacing old, damaged pipes without extensive excavation. The process relies heavily on a specialized bursting head, slightly larger than the existing pipe diameter. As this tool is pulled through, it fractures the old pipe, displacing its fragments into the surrounding soil.

1. Assessment: Our team conducts a thorough inspection of your existing pipe system to determine the best approach.
2. Preparation: We prepare the site for pipe bursting, ensuring all necessary precautions are in place.
3. Bursting Process: The old pipe is burst and replaced with a new pipe in one seamless operation.
4. Completion: We ensure the new pipe is properly installed and functioning, leaving your property clean and undisturbed.

Trenchless Pipe Bursting Process

Additionally, right behind the bursting head, a new pipe is laid in the void created by the bursting process. In essence, the old pipe is replaced “in-situ” or in its original position, eliminating the need to dig it out entirely. This approach ensures minimal surface disruption, making it a preferred method in urban areas where expansive digging might be difficult. The technique only requires limited access points, typically at the beginning and end of the section being replaced.
