Sewer Replacement
Pipe Bursting Calgary
Fourwest Trenchless Water and Sewer Solutions LTD. provides pipe bursting as a proven method of replacement for failing lateral pipes. Problems in underground piping and drainage systems that benefit from the pipe burst and replace method are constructed of materials such as Orangeburg pipe (tar paper pipe, "No corrode"), clay tile, and cast iron. Many other problems also create and pose issues with these pipes such as offset pipes, root intrusion and crowned and cracked pipes are all causing system backups. Infiltration, exfiltration and inflow from rain are all concerns to everyone as these issues are taxing treatment plants, contaminating ground and causing overflows often in properties as well as into rivers, lakes and streams of untreated sewage.
Replacement by traditional methods such as open trench is often not a viable or cost effective alternative, often landscaping and structures are often in the way as well as other buried underground utilities all play a part in options to replace pipe.
Pipe bursting is a permanent repair for the following issues:
- Root intrusion and blockages
- Cracks in the sewer line
- Broken pipes or joints
- Ovalling/ovalled/egg-shaped pipes
- Partially collapsed pipes
- Replacing a pipe made from older material which has reached the end of its lifespan (for example no corrode, Orangeburg, clay tile, asbestos cement, cast iron, concrete, ductile iron mains etc.
