Pipe Bursting: How It Works And Why It’s Worth It

Pipe bursting is the breakage and replacement of buried damaged pipelines using the trenchless method to create a way for a replacement system. This method is used when the damaged pipeline cannot be repaired neither using the traditional trenching method or the trenchless sewer method.

Why is Pipe Bursting Worth It?

Saves You Money

This method saves you the cost of excavating the soil to get to the damaged pipeline. Various machines are used in the excavation and this adds to the cost. The fact that your driveway and landscape would get damaged and the cost it will take to fix them can also add significantly to an already mammoth cost.

Saves You Time

Pipe bursting using the trenchless sewer method requires no digging of the ground which can take weeks to accomplish. It also saves you time from clearing the dirt and repairing damaged landscapes which can be time-consuming. With this method, pipe bursting is done by drilling unnoticeable points on the ground to get to the damaged pipeline which in turn keeps the environment clean saving you the time of looking for cleaning contractors.

Increased Pipe Flow

Pipe bursting using the trenchless sewer method encompasses the potential of free and increased flow of wastewater through the replacement pipe. Due to the fracturing and soil-clearing nature of pipe bursting, there is enough space for larger pipes, with increased fill capacity, which permits additional free flow. Therefore, the replacement pipe has a larger diameter than the replaced pipe.

The durability of Replacement Pipe

Modern pipes that are used in replacing damaged pipes using the trenchless method come with high quality. They are built to be resilient to root intrusions, soil activity, and other factors that can cause pipeline damage.

How Does It Work?

To start the pipe bursting a conical bursting head is fixed to a replacement pipeline, and fed through an entry hole to the broken sewer line. The pointed bursting head breaks the existing, damaged pipeline as it travels through; this is because the bursting head’s cone shape is larger at its base than the existing pipe’s diameter.

Using a pull rod or hydraulic power, the entire existing pipe is fractured and pushed from its original location. The replacement pipe, attached behind the bursting head, is then seamlessly fed in place, filling the cavity left behind by the bursting head. This is an innovative technique that entails effective and guaranteed error-free installation.
