PIPE BURSTING

Discover a new, cost-effective solution to rehab your infrastructure.

The pipe bursting process is a trenchless method of replacing or upsizing failing, outdated or undersized pipe infrastructure. Not only is this process very cost effective where it can be applied, but the fusible pipe material for your new infrastructure will help eliminate infiltration, roots and leaks on gravity and pressurized systems.

PIPE RAMMING

Discover a faster alternative to your operation than traditional jack and boring installation.

Pipe Ramming is a process where a steel pipe is installed with a pneumatic hammer. The grade can be set and controlled from the launch pit, with distances up to 150 feet possible. As the steel line is installed, the soil is forced into the interior of the pipe. Once the pipe is installed to its desired locations, the soil is removed from inside. This is an ideal option for casing pipe, culverts, and many other options.

Benefits

  • Limit hole size overcutting compared to HDD
  • Reduced risk of surface heaving
  • Enhanced efficiency for shorter crossings
  • Minimal impact with a smaller footprint

SLIP LINING

A quick, cost-effective method to repair or restore your pipes.

This trenchless rehabilitation method is used to repair leaks or restore structural stability to water, sewer, and storm sewer pipelines. The Slip Lining process is completed by winching or pushing a new pipe through the existing pipe, grouting the annular space between the two pipes and sealing the ends. We can perform slip lining on pipes ranging in diameter from 4-inches all the way up to 42-inches, and lengths up to 5,000 feet.
