PIPE BURSTING TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGY
|
| |
What is Pipe Bursting?
Replacement of the host pipe by fragmenting the existing pipe and installing a new pipe of
equal or larger diameter in its place.”
Thanks to LR Services Plumbing, sewer line replacement doesn't mean destroyed yards,
ruined driveways or devastated parking lots. LR Services Plumbing trenchless solutions
virtually eliminates the disruption and mess that digging causes. Also cost less overall.

Replacing pipe for same size or increase capacity
by upsizing new pipe can be applied in several
situations:
- Water lines
- Sewer mains
- Sewer services
- Gas lines

We make small access holes where the
damaged pipe starts and ends. Using the
broken sewer line as a guide, a cable is sent
through the pipe. The cable is attached to a
bursting head and the new pipe. Our
hydraulic machine pulls this cable, the
bursting head breaks the old pipe and the
new full size pipe is pulling through. The new
pipe is highly resistant to leaks and root
intrusion, with a long life expectancy.

Re-Lining is the process of repairing
damaged sewer pipes by creating a "pipe
within a pipe" to restore function and flow.
Epoxy relining materials mold to the inside of
the existing pipe to create a smooth new
inner wall. Pipe relining is used to repair
root-damaged pipes, seal cracks and holes,
fill in missing pipe and seal joint connections
underground, in roof drain pipes, in storm
lines and under concrete.

Save Money
- Problems are completely solved because the line is totally replaced, not just repaired
total replacement by conventional trenching techniques
Reduce Inconvenience
- Drastically reduces the public inconvenience and disturbance to the environment
caused by traditional repairs
- Can be performed in tight access areas where open cut methods present a
challenge or are not an option
Higher Capacity Pipe
- Install high-quality pipe that is the same diameter or larger than the original pipeline
for increased flow capacity

Totally replace wastewater, water and gas piping in need of
rehabilitation with durable high-density polyethylene pipe, often
for the same or less cost than lining or other replacement options.

Pneumatic bursting head
The primary principal in pneumatic pipe
bursting systems is percussion. Force is
applied by a reciprocating hammer action
which is activated by compressed air
delivered by a hose that passes through the
new pipe being pulled in. This system is ideal
for heavily consolidated soils but is less
efficient in running sands.

HDD bursting head
Used in tandem with an HDD drill, this system
facilitates manhole exits and reduces
excavation costs. It is the most common
combination for size-on-size or upsizing pipe
replacement projects in congested urban
environments.

Static bursting head
For use in sandy conditions or when working
with collapsed lines or heavy root intrusion.
This combination reduces pipe plowing and
soil plugs, thus increasing production and the
bursting distance capability. Pipe pilots are
also used on cast iron bursts.
