structural integrity
Pipe bursting is an ideal rehabilitation solution when a host pipe’s structural integrity is severely compromised. Pipe bursting may be applied to clay, PVC, ductile iron, and non-reinforced concrete pipes ranging in diameter from 6-inches to 48-inches. Spiniello has decades of experience in pipe bursting in both water and sewer pipe applications.
-
The pipe bursting process utilizes a pneumatically-powered bursting hammer that is applied with continuous percussion to break apart the host pipe. The hammer is equipped with an expander, which that forces fragments of the host pipe into the surrounding soil as the new pipe is simultaneously pulled in place behind it.
Specially designed bladed rollers are pulled through the host by a hydraulically-powered bursting unit. As the bladed rollers are pulled through the host pipe they split it apart. An expander attached to the rollers then forces the fragmented pipe into the surrounding soil, while simultaneously pulling in the new pipe.
