The Pipe Insertion Method (PI.I.M.)
has now become a standard :NO-DIG” pipe renewal system.
It is used in both municipal and industrial applications
to replace Gas, Water, Sewer, Production Lines and
Communication Ducts.
Pneumatic Heads use
pulsating air pressure to drive them forward and burst
the old pipe. A small pulling device guides the head
The process involves
inserting a Pneumatic
Head (P.H.)
also known as a Bursting Tool
into an existing pipe.

Attached to the front of
the P.H. is
a Constant Tension Winch Guide Cable which guides the
P.H. this shatters the old pipe while pulling into place
the new larger or same size pipe into
the same level and position as the old pipe.
The new pipe is attached to the rear of the P.H.

The soil surrounding serves to absorb
the vibrations created by the pneumatic heads.
Pipe fragments are pushed far enough away to prevent any damage to the new pipe . |
