Typical Pipebursting Heads
NEW, LEAKPROOF FITTINGS at EVERY SERVICE CONNECTION The pipeline materials used in the Pipebursting process have a wide variety of proven, standard fittings. These fittings may be used to reconnect your new pipe to the existing system or to lateral service lines. Either way, every connection will be made with proven, leakproof, off-the-shelf fittings.	SAFE OPERATION Pipebursting has been used successfully in both municipal and industrial applications to replace many different types of pipelines. Gas, water, sewer, and production lines, as well as communication ducts have all been replaced with Pipebursting, even in crowded underground situations. Experience has shown that the operation of pipebursting heads does not damage other buried utilities, even when they are only a few feet away. The surrounding soil serves to adsorb the vibrations created by the pneumatic heads, and pipe fragments are pushed far enough away to prevent damage to the new pipe. And, since most pipelines are below the frost line, Pipebursting operations can be carried out safely at any time of the year. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY Since digging is limited to relatively small access pits, Pipebursting is much less traumatic than traditional pipeline replacement. Long sections of pipe can be replaced without introducing open trenches and heavy equipment. And, since the old pipe is left undisturbed underground, it does not present a disposal problem.	STATIC HEAD Static heads have no moving internal parts. The head is simply pulled through the old pipe by a heavy-duty pulling device. PNEUMATIC HEAD Pneumatic heads use pulsating air pressure to drive them forward and burst the old pipe. A small pulling device guides the head. HYDRAULIC HEAD Designed for cast iron pipe, the Hydraulic Head expands as it is pulled through, bursting both the old pipe and heavy joints.
