Pipe Bursting is a
technique for
replacement of
existing pipes. The
existing pipe, once
burst, becomes the
guide path for the
new pipe being
installed.
This technique
bursts the old pipe
and in so doing
displaces the
fragmented old pipe
into the surrounding
soil. This creates a
hole of roughly the
same dimension as
the original. If a
larger diameter pipe
is to be installed a
larger 'expanding
cone' is used to
increase the size of
the hole. Once done,
the new pipe is
pushed or pulled
into position. |

Trenchless pipe replacement simply means
there is no requirement to dig a trench
in order to install / replace
underground pipes.
The chief benefits of
this system are time reductions, cost
efficiency and minimal damage to
landscaping. Please see our section on
pipe replacement for benefits and
more detailed information and examples.
A variation of this
method is called
'Pipe Slitting'
which breaks the
pipe by longitudinal
slitting.
Our Pipe Genie System is
the finest system
available to replace
your sewer or water
lines without
digging a trench or
disrupting your landscaping, sidewalks or driveway! View our Water Line Page |
Whatever
kind of pipe you have installed, ductile, cast iron,
clay, concrete, ABS, PE or PVC, our system can replace
it with ease up to 30" in diameter. |
