PIPE BURSTING SERVICES FAQs

Pipe bursting is a trusted way to update and repair underground utility pipes such as water mains, gas, and sewer pipes. It’s a method that doesn’t involve digging trenches, instead, special pipe bursting technology breaks the old pipe internally.

Pipe bursting comes in two main types:

  • Pull and Break Pipe Bursting System (Pneumatic): This is the most common type. A bursting head with a pulling force breaks the existing pipeline while pulling a new one in its place.
  • Push and Squeeze Pipe Bursting System (Static): This one uses a wedge to break the old pipe instead of pulling. It’s beneficial for short repairs or tight spaces.

 

The best bursting method depends on ground conditions, how much bigger the new pipe needs to be, and the type of old pipe you have. Some pipes are easier to crack (called “fracturable”), while others need special techniques and equipment.  No matter which type of pipe material, there’s a bursting method that can replace most water, sewer, and gas pipes, even ones that were installed many years ago.

It is a method used to replace underground pipes carrying water, sewer, or gas. Instead of digging up the old pipe, a new one is pulled through it while breaking the old pipe.

  • A device called a bursting head breaks the old pipe from the inside.
  • At the same time, a new pipe is pulled into place behind the bursting head.
  • The energy to break the old pipe and pull in the new one comes from cables, hydraulic power, or pneumatic pipe bursting, depending on the system used.
  • This process creates a temporary cavity as the bursting head moves through the old pipe, replacing it with the new one without digging up the ground.

EPS Trenchless Installations utilise pipe bursting to replace or repair pipes made from different materials, offering a versatile solution for underground pipeline rehabilitation.

The pipe types are:

  • Clay ware pipes
  • Pitch fibre pipes
  • Concrete pipes
  • Asbestos cement pipes
  • Cast iron pipes
  • UPVC (Unplasticised PolyVinyl Chloride) pipes
