Pipe bursting is defined as a trenchless replacement method in which an existing pipe is broken either by brittle fracture or by splitting, using an internal mechanically applied force applied by a bursting tool.
The Grundoburst static pipe bursting system is an extremely versatile piece of trenchless equipment. There are eight models available ranging in pullback force from 60,000 lbs. to 650,000 lbs. Grundoburst models are designed for bursting 4-inch (101-mm) through 48-inch (1,219-mm) pipes and larger.
Pipe bursting is a method by which the existing pipe is opened and forced outward by a bursting tool. A hydraulic or pneumatic expansion head (part of the bursting tool) is pulled through the existing pipeline, typically by using a cable and winch.
Pneumatic pipe bursting systems are used by underground contractors as an effective method to replace failing, outdated or undersized sewer, water, and gas lines.
As the company grew, the design team developed and improved other trenchless products such as pipe ramming tools, pipe bursting systems, purpose-built winches, and rod-pulling machines. Each new design reflected the fundamental principles of HammerHead’s winning formula: a focus on quality, durability, ease-of-use, simple maintenance, and low ...
Grundomat can perform accurate horizontal bores from 50 to 150 feet in length. The pneumatic piercing tool can be used in all displaceable soils: sand, loam and even gravel and is easily configured to pull in a wide variety of new pipe materials.
Pipe bursting follows the path of the existing utilities, reducing utility strike risks and eliminating up to 85 percent of excavation work compared to open-cut methods. HammerHead leads the industry with proven technology and features designed to increase productivity.
