Pipe Bursting: Long-Term Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement
Our experienced team provides pipe bursting as one of multiple trenchless technologies to replace buried sewer and water pipelines. Check out reviews from our many satisfied customers in Wausau, Marshfield, Stevens Point, and surrounding Wisconsin communities!
With this technique, the existing pipe is forced out by a powerful bursting tool. This makes space for the new pipeline, which is attached to the tool and immediately fills the void created by the old, burst pipe.
Minimal Disturbance to People & Property
Traditional methods for underground utilities construction can be very disruptive to people living and working near the construction zone, as well as pedestrians, commuters, and other vehicles on the road. Pipe bursting offers a method of replacing pipes while minimizing disruption for homeowners and cities.
Environmentally Friendly Solution
Lateral sewer line replacement means less construction work in general, which means fewer emissions. Additionally, replacing a pipe without digging minimizes things like tree removal and disruption to native plant and animal habitats.
In fact, the EPA says, “In some instances pipe bursting might be the only way to replace sewers in wetlands, and trenchless technologies the only practical way to install sewer systems initially.”
When Is Pipe Bursting an Option?
Pipe Bursting vs. Pipe Lining
When you need to replace a water or sewer line, pipe bursting might be a good option, but it is not the only trenchless technique. ATS also offers pipe lining, where the old pipe stays in the ground and a new pipe is created inside it. Both methods require far less digging than traditional trench sewer repair (which we offer too).
Deciding between pipe lining and pipe bursting, if both options are viable, comes down to several things, including how much you want to invest and how long-term you desire the solution to be. Some environmental factors also come into play, like ground movement.
