Considering Equipment for a Pipe Bursting Project?

When pipes don’t meet compatibility requirements for a trenchless repair procedure, pipe bursting offers a minimally disruptive alternative to traditional sewer pipe replacement. To make your pipe bursting project a success, it helps to have the right tools and materials. At Pow-R Mole Trenchless Solutions, we offer high-quality pipe bursting equipment designed for ease of use, durability, and cost-effectiveness.

Review Service Request Types

Always consider your customer base before investing in pipe bursting supplies. If you mostly serve residential customers, the portable PD-22 pipe bursting machine will easily handle your needs. It features rugged wheels, a sturdy handle, and an impressively small footprint. The PD-33M provides ample flexibility that can help you serve a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial clients.

Maintenance Requirements

To maintain a high level of productivity, consider pipe bursting machinery with minimal maintenance needs. We had this in mind when we designed our pipe bursting solutions with low maintenance requirements. We recommend cleaning the filters and moving parts after each project and keeping up with lubrication to improve performance and ensure a long lifespan.

Footprint

Many pipe bursting jobs will require working from a tight or confined area. Consider the footprint of the equipment so that your crew will have sufficient space for maneuvering and safety needs. The PD-33M features a 20-inch by 20-inch footprint, making it ideal for use in small work areas.

Soil and Pipe Conditions

Think about the type of soil in your service area. Heavy clay soil and soil with a lot of rocks or tree roots require more power. Also, consider the types of pipes your customers typically have. The PD-7 bursts through concrete and cast iron pipes in heavy clay soil with ease.
