Sewer Pipe Bursting<br />
Pneumatic<br />
• The pneumatic pipebursting tool is placed into the host pipe at an entry<br />
pit or manhole<br />
• A constant tension winch is placed at the exit area pit and the pulling<br />
cable is attached to the head of the tool through the host pipe<br />
• Continuous percussion from the pneumatic tool fractures the host pipe.<br />
• The tool effectively hammers its way through the host pipe, displacing the<br />
fragments into the surrounding soil, while simultaneously pulling the new<br />
pipe<br />
• Usually High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is used but fusible PVC is also,<br />
into place behind it.<br />
• Pipebursting is the only trenchless method of replacement that effectively<br />
allows for the upsizing of the original pipe.<br />
• Service laterals up to 150 feet are possible<br />
• Upsizing of sewer mains is possible if additional capacity is needed<br />
• Costly restoration costs are avoided as compared to open-cut
