Fast, Low-Disruption Water Pipe Replacement
Pipe bursting is a trenchless method for replacing or upsizing deteriorated pipelines. Using controlled bursting techniques, we fracture the existing pipe while installing a new pipe of equal or larger diameter in its place.
This approach significantly reduces surface disruption, traffic disturbance, and programme duration. Suitable for a wide range of ground conditions and pipe materials, it is an effective solution for infrastructure renewal in urban and constrained environments.
Maxi-Burst™
Maxi-Burst™ is ideal where upsizing is not required or only a small increase in diameter is needed, delivering rapid installation with reduced excavation, reinstatement, and programme time.
- Replace pipes from 100 mm to 750 mm diameter
- Install up to 150 metres in a single run
- New pipes rated up to 16 bar pressure
- Multiple wall thickness options: SDR 11, SDR 17.6 and SDR 26
Mini-Burst™
Mini-Burst is compact, quiet and portable, making it ideal for residential areas, urban streets, and confined spaces where traditional excavation is impractical.
- Operates from existing manholes – no open trench required
- Bursts through clay, pitch fibre, concrete, asbestos cement and more
- Pipe diameters of 75mm, 100mm and 150mm
- Installation lengths up to 25 metres
- New MDPE or HDPE pipe supplied in short sections or continuous welds
- Extended design life compared with short-term patch repairs
