Static Pipe Bursting<br />
• Used for water and sewer applications<br />
• The static pipebursting tool is placed into the host pipe at an entry pit or manhole.<br />
These tools typically have wheeled cutters<br />
• A hydraulically driven static pulling unit is placed at the exit area pit.<br />
• Solid rods (threaded or link type) are attached to the head of the tool through the<br />
host pipe<br />
• Combination of static pulling pressure and the cutter head tool splits and fractures<br />
the host pipe.<br />
• This displaces the fragments into the surrounding soil, while simultaneously pulling<br />
the new pipe<br />
• Usually High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is used but fusible PVC is also used
