Specifications:
- Application: Water, sewer, and utility pipeline replacement
- Bursting head type: Conical with cutting blades
- Pulling method: High-tensile steel cable or hydraulic rod
- Compatible pipe sizes: Various diameters, typically 4–24 inches
- Material compatibility: Clay, concrete, PVC, cast iron
How it works:
1. The existing pipe is accessed through entry and exit pits.
2. A bursting head is attached to a pulling cable or rod.
3. Hydraulic power pulls the head through the old pipe.
4. The head fractures the pipe into surrounding soil.
5. A new pipe is simultaneously drawn into the created space.
Advantages:
- Minimal disruption to roads, landscaping, and structures
- Faster installation compared to open-trench methods
- Reduces restoration costs after work completion
- Can increase pipe capacity during replacement
- Environmentally friendly with less excavation waste
Disadvantages:
- Requires access pits at both ends
- Not suitable for severely collapsed pipes
- Initial equipment cost is high
- Requires skilled operators
- Limited by surrounding soil conditions
Productivity impact:
Compared to traditional open-trench pipeline replacement, pipe bursting can cut installation time by up to 50% and reduce restoration costs by 70%, making it ideal for urban and residential areas.
Best used for:
- Urban water main replacement
- Sewer line upgrades
- Utility pipeline rehabilitation
- Rural and agricultural water systems
