Using a simple, effective process during the pneumatic pipe
bursting procedure, the bursting tool is placed into the host
pipe at an entry pit or manhole. A constant tension winch, based
at the exit area pit and attached to the head of the tool,
guides it through the host pipe. Continuous percussion from the
pneumatic tool fractures the host pipe.
The bursting tool effectively hammers its
way through the host pipe, displacing the fragments into the surrounding
soil, while simultaneously pulling the new pipe, usually High Density
Polyethylene (HDPE), into place behind it.
Pipe bursting is the only trenchless method of replacement that allows for the upsizing of the
original pipe. |
