NASTT’s Pipe Bursting Good Practices Course – VIRTUAL
Join us for virtual training!
Pipe bursting is the perfect process to replace an existing line with a completely new, larger pipe — with minimal excavating. This construction technique is recognized as one of the only methods of trenchless rehabilitation that replaces an existing line with a completely new pipe, providing a total pipe replacement and allows for the replacement of an existing pipe with a new line of equal or larger diameter — to maintain or increase flow capabilities.

Robert J Morrow
Robert Morrow is the founder of Morrow Trenchless and Faction Fusion of California and has been involved with more than 500,000 LF of Pipe Bursting installations ranging from 4 inch diameter, up to 32 inch diameter over the past 25 years. Robert has utilized many different types of pipe bursting equipment and has spent his career trying to tackle difficult project that not only bring knowledge from success but knowledge from extreme challenges and even failure. Morrow has been known to fabricate and manipulate equipment and tools to serve the installation process. Fabrication and invention has led Morrow to the creation of Faction Fusion, a manufacturer of saddle fusion equipment and fittings for connecting to the HDPE pipe, specifically designed around the pipe bursting process.
