As pipe bursting has become widely accepted as a technique for replacing water and gas lines the need for small footprint machines to be operated in difficult access or restricted size locations such as sewer laterals, has been established.
Traditional rod bursters are often seen as to large or heavy for such applications, even when supplied as reduced length machines with short rods. The Hammerhead PB30 compact static rod burster has been specifically developed to meet this requirement.
Designed with portability in mind the PB30 can be quickly broken down into small manageable components for transport into manholes or difficult access locations. These are then simply reassembled in-situ and the machine is ready to burst. A special compacted wire cable is utilised rather than rods to attach to the burst head. The cable has the same capacity as a rod but with the advantage of faster deployment in the main and higher degree of flexibility.
The new pipe to be installed can be supplied in coils, straight sticks or as short screw together sections enabling both the launch and receive pit to be as small as required.
Although designed with sewer lateral replacement in mind, the PB30 is also successfully utilised for the replacement of failing cast iron water mains in lengths up to 50 mtrs.
A range of specialist burst heads for plastic, clay and iron pipes etc. are also available to ensure the PB30 can accommodate most client requirements.
