Underground Construction Technology International Conference & Exhibition

This presentation examinations the techniques surrounding the installation of segmented product pipe during static pipe bursting and what information is needed in order to effectively chose between segmented pipe options and fusion pipe options for a particular project. A local geo technical consultant should be part of the project design and planning, as soil types vary dramatically from region to region, sometimes block to block. If the soil demonstrates that it maintains an annulus for a period of time, the segmented pipe will probably work well. In free flowing sand and other similar conditions, segmented pipe may be problematic - fusion welded pipe system should probably be used instead.
