As utilities tackle the challenges of rehabilitating and expanding aging water distribution systems they are increasingly turning to trenchless installation methods to reduce cost and minimize disruption to the public. Pipe bursting water mains continues to grow in acceptance as water utilities gain experience with the method and the number of skilled pipe burst contractors expands. In many parts of the country, pipe bursting is less expensive than direct bury replacement, particularly when restoration costs are high and social impacts are factored into the decision.
