Expandit A unique patented pipe replacement system to install new pipes into an existing line without excavation. Pipe Bursting diameters can be increased by up to 100% in some cases by using Expandit. Benefits: Can be operated from existing manholes or small excavations Bursts through clayware, pitch fibre, concrete, asbestos cement, cast iron and UPVC Pipe diameters can be increased by up to 100% Minimal environmental impact and low noise Hydraulic operation reduces ground heave and movement Replacement pipes can be clayware, concrete or polyethylene Contact us for pipe replacements sizes. Rod Pulling (Maxiburst) For installations requiring continuously welded pipe, rod pulling (Maxiburst) is suitable for diameters of 100mm to 750mm and installation lengths of up to 200 metres. An economical and quick alternative where pipe upsizing isn’t required, or where the upsize is a small increase. Benefits: Can be operated from existing manholes Pipe diameters range from 100mm to 750mm in lengths of up to 200 metres New pipes can take pressures of up to 16 Bar SDR 11, SDR 17.6 and SDR 26 wall thicknesses can be used The system breaks down for easy installation and removal Can be used in conjunction with our Snapit pipe system Miniburst The perfect pipe replacement system for difficult locations. Capable of replacing pipes of 75mm, 100mm or 150mm on a size for size basis in lengths of up to 50 metres, Miniburst can be deployed from existing manholes. The Miniburst portability and quietness lends itself to pipe replacement in confined areas such as gardens, narrow alleys and some basements. We have successfully used Miniburst for local authorities, housing associations, insurance companies, utilities companies and the residential market. Benefits: Can be operated from existing manholes Bursts through clayware, pitch fibre, concrete, asbestos cement and other common materials Pipe diameters of 75mm, 100mm and 150mm in lengths of up to 50 metres New pipe is either short section or continuously welded in MDPE or HDPE New pipes have a design life of three or four times that of a repaired pipe Quiet and discrete Manhole Bursting A unique patented pipe replacement system to install new pipes into an existing line. Pipe Bursting diameters can be increased by up to 100% in some cases by using the Manhole Bursting technique. We developed the Manhole Burster to provide a more traditional rod-pull pipe bursting system to work from within existing manholes, cutting out the need for launch and reception pits. We applied the basic design of our standard rod-pullers, and created a new system that was portable, collapsible and easy to install and operate. The machine can be inserted through the cover of a standard manhole and assembled in the manhole’s base. When used in conjunction with our Snapit pipe, the whole operation can be managed from within existing chambers, reducing the environmental disruption, cost of excavations, backfill and reinstatement and programme time.
