The Process

Pipebursting (or no-dig pipeline replacement) is the process of replacing old 2, 3, 4 or 6 inch pipe with new Polyethylene pipe of the same or larger diameter. The pipe is replaced by digging two holes - an entry and exit hole.

A splitting head is attached to the new pipe and hammers the new pipe through the old pipe by splitting and expanding the old pipe. While the old pipe is being expanded the new pipe is simultaneously being pulled through the old pipe.

The new pipe will follow the same path as the old pipe. However, the new pipe will be a joint-free Polyethelyne replacement that will far outlast the pipe it is replacing. Also, because it is seamless, it doesn't allow roots to penetrate like old jointed sewer pipes do.

Up ahead the splitting head is blasting away making room for the new pipe. Because of the power of the machine used to lay the new pipe it is possible to increase the diameter of the existing pipe by several inches depending on the original diameter.
