Minimally Invasive Pipe Bursting in Florence, SC

About the Process

A typical pipe bursting setup involves a central machine that generates pressure, a hose or tube and a mechanical head. The head is engineered to exert rotational force on a series of blades that force the pipe apart from the inside as it’s pushed through the line. Force is usually transferred via pneumatics or hydraulics depending on the system.

Trenchless pipe bursting services are usually one of several options available for sewer line repair and replacement projects. It’s usually the optimal pick when the existing line is already too narrow to comfortably support demand as relining would only further reduce effective diameter. Bursting and replacing a pipe is often the simplest solution for aging and severely damaged infrastructure, since patching the damage wouldn’t be worth the effort.

Candidates for Bursting

In general, any pipes made out of a brittle or rigid material are potential candidates for bursting. Concrete, cast iron, and clay pipes are among the most ideal materials for bursting, while steel and ductile iron can pose a challenge. Pipe cutting is usually preferred to bursting when dealing with more flexible materials, like PVC and plastic compounds.
