Trenchless Pipe Replacing
Trenchless pipe installation is a method of installing
replacement sewer piping without excavating a trench along
the entire length of the pipe.
The process entails excavating a launch pit and an exit pit,
then placing an extremely strong steel cable through the old
sewer pipe, then attaching that to a steel nose cone that is
slightly too large for the inside of the old pipe.
 Attached
to this steel nose cone is a full length of extremely
strong, durable yet flexible engineered plastic pipe. The
steel nose cone is slowly pulled by 30 ton hydraulic rams
through the old sewer pipe, crushing it outwards into the
surround soil while making more than enough room for a full
size new sewer pipe to be pulled into its place.
This method can preserve expensive landscaping or prevent
the need for expensive sawcutting, concrete demolition and
trench excavation.
There can be some contraindications for this procedure.
During your consultation our professional plumber will
discuss this with you to determine whether this procedure is
right for your application.
We are experts in this installation methodology, and our
Plumbing Association of which Dave Bischof is the two time
President of, developed the testing/inspection installation
protocols for the city of Los Angeles. |
