More than 20 years ago, the pipe bursting method was developed by British Gas in the United Kingdom for the replacement of old deteriorating cast-iron gas mains. Since then the method has been applied to sewer, water and other markets replacing nearly every kind of pipe type in sizes ranging from 1' to larger than 36". In North America, the pipe bursting method has been widely accepted as a means to replace sewer and water pipes. Although originally developed for the gas industry, its use in North America for replacement of gas mains has been limited.
