Trenchless pipeline replacement is a method to replace existing sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water lines with a new, custom length piece. Our trenchless process of pipe replacement reduces the need to excavate road ways and residential properties as seen with traditional open excavation techniques. This drastically reduces any disruption to traffic, landscaping and the environment.
In most cases, the entire process can be completed within one day.
The process involves excavating two small operating holes to install our proprietary equipment. These pits are the only points of excavation required for the entire pipe replacement process.
With our pneumatic bursting head we are able to replace cast iron, clay, bituminous fibre and concrete pipe.
Pipe bursting, if found to be suitable for the situation, can be the most cost-effective and least-disruptive option available.
The following video shows a typical pipe burst piggybacking a new water service.
