Pipe Bursting Advantages

 

Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of replacing buried pipelines without the need for a traditional construction trench. "Launching and receiving pits" replace the trench needed by conventional pipe-laying.

 

For over twenty years, trenchless pipeline replacement by pipe bursting has become an increasingly accepted technique for sewer rehabilitation, which is also now finding application in watermain and other areas. The continued growth of pipe bursting everywhere is based on solid advantages over open cut and other rehabilitation methods.

  • The only trenchless technology which replaces pipelines full some size or upsized from original.
  • Often dramatically lower costs than open cut. Standard specification, factory made replacement pipes including HDPE, PVC, RPM, FRP, concrete, steel and others.
  • Minimal disruption to traffic, business access, homeowner landscaping and public usage of streets and facilities.
  • Minimal disruption to homeowners and municipal landscaping.
  • Simultaneous manhole replacement provides low cost pits.
