Totally replace wastewater, water and gas piping in need of rehabilitation with durable high-density polyethylene pipe, often for the same or less cost than lining or other replacement options

Pneumatic bursting head

The primary principal in pneumatic pipe bursting systems is percussion. Force is applied by a reciprocating hammer action which is activated by compressed air delivered by a hose that passes through the new pipe being pulled in. This system is ideal for heavily consolidated soils but is less efficient in running sands.

HDD bursting head

Used in tandem with an HDD Drill, this system facilitates manhole exits and reduces excavation costs. It is the most common combination for  size-on-size or upsizing pipe replacement projects in congested urban environments.

Static bursting head/Pipe pilot combination

For use in sandy conditions or when working with collapsed lines or heavy root intrusion. This combination reduces pipe plowing and soil plugs, thus increasing production and the bursting distance capability. Pipe pilots are also used on cast iron bursts.

For minimal environmental impact,
we offer lightweight portable bursting system solutions.

A national survey estimated the percentage of total system infiltration from service laterals to range from 30 percent to as high as 90 percent. Miller Pipeline offers portable bursting systems perfect for four and six inch sewer laterals and short runs. And when the work space is tight and destruction of buildings, landscaping or paved surfaces is a concern, this economical system connects to a backhoe or standard hydraulic power source and will lay pipe at the rate of 12 feet per minute with a cable pull strength of 30 tons.
