Trenchless Repair
Trenchless Repair
Each trenchless repair method has its advantages and is chosen based on factors such as the type of damage, the size and material of the existing pipe, and the surrounding environment. The selection of the appropriate method is typically determined after a thorough assessment of the specific repair or replacement needs.
Benefits of trenchless technology.
Easily cut through roots and debris, removing build-up that is clogging your drainage line.
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting is a trenchless method used to replace an existing pipe (such as sewer, water, or natural gas pipe) without physically removing it. It is not only more cost effective and quicker than traditional methods it is safer than traditional, digging replacement operations, today’s trenchless pipe bursting methods use mechanically applied force and high-grade bursting heads.
Horizontal Directional Line Boring
Directional drilling offers several advantages over other conduit and pipe laying techniques. Firstly, it enables deeper installation of the pipe or conduit. The ability to control the drill head allows operators to "curve" the bored hole, eliminating the need for 90-degree elbows that would otherwise be necessary. This flexibility contributes to a more efficient and versatile installation process. Moreover, directional drilling causes less disruption to traffic compared to alternative methods of running conduit or pipe, reducing inconvenience for the public. The technique also allows for longer installation distances, making it suitable for various project requirements. Additionally, directional drilling proves cost-effective due to minimal ground disruption and lower cleanup costs. The absence of required access pits further streamlines the process. Overall, horizontal drilling, a common form of directional drilling, can be completed with a notable 30-50% time savings compared to other conduit and pipe laying methods, making it a favorable choice for many applications.
Pipe Reinstatement With Picote System
Pipe Lining
Traditional pipe replacement involves open trench excavation. This consists of digging a trench to expose the entire pipeline, excavating it out, and laying down a new pipe. This entire process can easily take days to complete. Not only is it time consuming, but it can cost you a lot more in unexpected expenses; excavating the old pipe may involve digging up landscape, floors, walls, stairs, and other architecturally integrated parts of your property.
If you are considering repiping, we highly recommend learning more about pipe restoration options and getting a pipe lining estimate as well.
Vac Trucking
Vacuum trucking, often referred to as vac trucking or vacuum excavation, is a specialized service that involves the use of vacuum technology to remove materials from an excavation site. This process is commonly used in construction, industrial, and utility settings for tasks such as digging, exposing underground utilities, and cleaning up various materials.
