Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of replacing damaged or outdated pipelines by pulling a new pipe through the existing damaged one, using hydraulic power. The new pipe is typically made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or other durable materials like PVC or fiberglass.
HDPE is a popular choice for pipe bursting because it is flexible, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion and chemicals. The material can also withstand high pressure and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipes are another option for pipe bursting. They are durable, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion and chemicals. However, they are less flexible than HDPE and may not be suitable for some applications.
Fiberglass pipes are a newer option for pipe bursting and are typically used in applications where high strength and durability are required. They are lightweight, resistant to corrosion and chemicals, and can withstand high pressure and extreme temperatures.
Regardless of the type of pipe used in pipe bursting, it is important to ensure that it meets the necessary specifications and is installed by a qualified professional to ensure safe and reliable operation.
