Trenchless Solutions operate small yet robust hydraulic pipe bursting and towing systems with pull back pressures up to 60te, these compact pipe bursting systems are easy to handle, can be operated from existing manholes or small temporary pits.
This pipe bursting method is the ideal pipe replacement technique for various pipe types including clay, steel, asbestos cement, concrete and pitch fibre, installing diameters from 75mm up to 300mm and in lengths up to 100m the new MDPE or HDPE can be installed in short sections or one continuous length.
Method
This method is fast and non-invasive, using the existing pipeline as a guide, the hydraulic pipe-bursting system cuts through the existing pipe while at the same time pulling a new polyethylene into place behind it. Various lead cutter heads can be used to cut through the old pipe i.e. cast, ductile iron, steel and concrete as well as clay, plastic or fibre cement.
- Follows existing utility path.
- Environmentally friendly with minimal surface disruption.
- Minimal traffic disruption.
- Pipe bursting can increase the size of the existing service.
