At one time, pipe repair was difficult, time-consuming, and costly.
That’s why Dr. Pipe is glad to announce that we can use trenchless replacement methods. The trenchless method, also called pipe bursting, is an efficient solution for all kinds of pipe repair. Now let’s delve into the meaning of pipe bursting technology.
What is Burst Pipe Technology?
Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of excavating old, damaged pipes. Rather than having to dig up your property to remove and replace old pipes, a large, cone-shaped head called a bursting head is hydraulically pulled through the damaged pipes underground. This breaks apart the old pipe while simultaneously replacing it with a new pipe made of something called high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This new pipe will be the same size or larger than the old pipe and seamlessly replace it from the inside.
The Pipe Bursting Process
- We start by digging a hole to both ends of the pipe to be replaced.
- We inspect your pipe with a high-resolution camera to ensure we know just what needs to be done.
- A steel cable is fed into one end of the pipe that will guide the bursting head from one end to the other.
- The bursting head is pulled through the pipe along the steel cable. The HDPE pipe piggybacks behind the bursting head.
- As the bursting head breaks the old pipe out of the way, the new HDPE pipe replaces it while the bits of old pipe are forced into the adjacent soil.
- The new HDPE pipe is perfectly lined up with the sewer system, replacing the old pipe.
Pipe Bursting Benefits
- Avoids the mess, time and expense of excavation,
- No disruption to traffic or property,
- Lower risk of failure since it’s following existing utility layout,
- Your new pipe will likely be larger and offer increased flow,
- HDPE is more resistant to corrosion.
Why Is It a Cost-Effective Trenchless Pipe Replacement Service?
Under ideal conditions, pipe-bursting can be an effective, reliable method of trenchless pipe replacement. Your new pipe could be up to 150% larger in diameter than the previous pipe, depending on soil conditions.
Though pipe-bursting isn’t the right choice in every situation, such as in dense urban areas where the risk of a surface cave-in is greater, it is often the most cost-effective choice thanks to the speed, reliability and less-intrusive nature of the work involved.
