THE PIPELINE PROBLEM

The failure of ageing sewer, gas and other utility pipelines is a global problem. Premature failure from tree root penetration, poorly aligned joints, ground movements, and services simply reaching beyond their expected life cause leakage out of and also into pipelines. Leakages are expensive leaving utility companies with a major financial headache. The options are, renovate the existing pipe or, replace – but which?

THE PIPELINE SOLUTION

There are many renovation systems on the market, mostly types of inserted liner or spray lining techniques. These systems can be effective, but generally only offer temporary solutions. Very often increased consumer demand requires upsizing the pipe to increase capacity. At best a liner will only restore the original capacity.

Putting off the inevitable is not usually cost effective.

The long-term solution is therefore replacement.

REPLACEMENT – HOW?

In the past replacement meant large open trenches, heavy machinery, road closure and consequently severe disruption.

Now Aussieburst the advanced trenchless pipe replacement system offers an efficient, environmentally friendly solution.

Aussieburst – a simple hydraulic push / pull rod system. First excavate 2 pits at a predetermined distance apart and break into the existing pipe. Install the hydraulic rod pusher / puller, then push up the old pipe the leading flexible rod called a teardrop. As the rod string advances the teardrop will faithfully follow the existing pipe. Upon reaching the other pit remove the teardrop and attach the appropriate splitting arrow, followed by the bursting cone and pipe puller. Attach the new pipe from the trailer mounted drum and reverse the hydraulic system to install the new service, upsizing if required. Move to the next in line pit to continue the process, butt welding the sections together for a continuous pipeline.

WHY HYDRAULIC?

The hydraulic system offers several advantages over pneumatic systems:-

*No contamination of the replacement pipe – air systems exhaust up the new pipe depositing oil deposits etc. which then requires treatments.

*Impact moles are very aggressive, heavy vibrations from this method can cause disruption to adjacent services and buildings. Hydraulic systems offer very little impact on their surroundings.

*Noise pollution from impact moles in sensitive areas can be an issue. The hydraulic system just has a sound proofed power pack with very little intrusion.
