Pipe Bursting Good Practices Manual

Pipe Bursting is defined as the replacement of the host, or original pipe by fragmenting the existing conduit and installing the product or new pipe in its place. This construction technique is recognized as one of the only methods of trenchless rehabilitation that can replace an existing line with a completely new pipe, providing a total pipe replacement. Additionally, pipe bursting allows for the replacement of existing pipe with a new line of equal or larger diameter, to maintain or increase flow capabilities. The Pipe Bursting Good Practices Guidelines was developed as a supplement to the NASTT Pipe Bursting training course. The Guidelines were authored by Dr. Samuel T. Ariartnam, Dr. R. David Bennett and Salam Khan in conjunction with TT Technologies, Earth Tool Company, Alberquerque Underground Inc. and Insituform Technologies.
