Seamless Pipe Bursting & Upsizing
When a pipe is too damaged for rehabilitation, pipe bursting offers a trenchless alternative to traditional dig-and-replace. TrenchFree uses pipe bursting to replace failed pipelines by fracturing the existing pipe outward while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place—all through small access pits rather than continuous trenching.
How Pipe Bursting Works
A bursting head is pulled through the existing pipe, breaking it apart and pushing fragments into the surrounding soil. Immediately behind the bursting head, a new HDPE pipe is pulled into the void, creating a seamless replacement line in a single pass.

Minimal Surface Disturbance
Access pits instead of continuous trenches
Faster Installation
Faster than traditional dig-and-replace methods
Long-Term Solution
Long-term structural solution with new pipe materials
Reduced Costs
Reduced restoration costs and community disruption
Environmentally Responsible
Less excavation, less hauling, less waste
Pipe bursting works best in stable soil conditions and requires adequate clearance from adjacent utilities. Our team evaluates each site to determine whether bursting or another trenchless method is the best fit.
