Pipe bursting is the perfect no-dig process to replace an existing line with a completely new, larger pipe – without 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.

The NASTT Pipe Bursting Good Practices Course provides an in-depth overview of pipe bursting and covers four topic areas: (1) the types, methods and application of pipe bursting; (2) planning and preliminary design of a pipe bursting job; (3) design and construction considerations; and (4) troubleshooting and problem solving.
