PIPE BURSTING TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGY-SPECIALIST NO-DIG PIPE REPLACEMENT

Eradicating the need for costly reinstatements and excavations, Pipe bursting can offer considerable savings on more traditional pipe replacement methods.
High quality 600mm Jointed MDPE pipe lengths for sites where access is restricted For more accessible sites standard 6m or 12m lengths can be pre-welded and installed.

CASE HISTORY
A job in Croydon where a faulty 100mm pitch fibre pipe ran under a house and then out to the main sewer. The run was 18m long at an invert of 1.5m. We arrived on site at 8am. By 2pm the pipe had been “burst” and replaced with a new high impact MDPE SDR11 snap fit pipe. We ensured a saving of 30% over traditional excavation methods and the job was finished in a day rather than a week. Had the sewer been deeper the savings would have been even more dramatic. As a rule of thumb the longer and deeper the run the greater the savings over traditional excavation methods. However, when dealing with short, shallow runs under grass it may be more cost effective to excavate rather than pipe bursting.

Upsize existing pipework using pipe bursting eradicating the need for excavation thus cutting time, disruption and costs associated with more traditional methods of repair or replacement. Increase the internal diameter of the pipe from 150mm anywhere up to 1m. Speeds of up to 200m a day can be achieved given ideal conditions PIPE BURSTING UNDER BUILDINGS When replacing services running underneath a building, such as a house. The pipe was in need of replacing from the manhole in the kitchen of the property downstream to the rear garden. To replace this pipe using traditional excavation methods would have been both costly and time consuming. We were able to replace the defective pipe without having to excavate through the kitchen and dining area all in under a week thus saving the homeowner money and a lot of unnecessary disruption and mess.
