Pipe Bursting is a
technique for
replacement of
existing pipes. The
existing pipe, once
burst, becomes the
guide path for the
new pipe being
installed.
This technique
bursts the old pipe
and in so doing
displaces the
fragmented old pipe
into the surrounding
soil. This creates a
hole of roughly the
same dimension as
the original. If a
larger diameter pipe
is to be installed a
larger 'expanding
cone' is used to
increase the size of
the hole. Once done,
the new pipe is
pushed or pulled
into position.
A variation of this method
is called 'Pipe Slitting' which breaks the pipe by
longitudinal slitting.
Pipe
bursting is
popular in
urban areas
where
congestion
due to
existing
services
sharing the
same space
under the
surface is a
problem.
Bursting
must be used
very
carefully
where sub
surface
crowding
could put
other lines
at risk due
to the
pressure of
the bursting
head.
