Pipe bursting and how it works

Pipe Bursting is a technology that connects a bursting head with a wire rope or a rod that is connected to a pulling device that uses enough force to allow the bursting head to split or burst the old pipeline and push back the soil to allow the new pipeline to be pulled into place. This process requires only two holes or pits to perform the job.
