May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) The pulling in technique involves the continuous insertion of the new pipe into an existing sewer or pipeline. This technique is identical to that of the pipe rehabilitation method referred to as sliplining. With pipe bursting, however, it is necessary to determine the load transverse to the pipe axis.

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) (Image: Temperatur) Monitoring temperature variations when working with plastic pipes, particularly on hot summer days, is essential to prevent substantial variations in the pipe length. To avoid this issue, it is recommended that the pipe insertion takes place in the early mornings, once the temperatures of the new pipes, the air, and the old pipes are almost the same. |

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) (Image: Plus/Minus) Depending on the old sewer or pipe depth, the construction of relatively long insertion pits is necessary to avoid very small bending radii and prevent damage to the new pipe.

May 12, 2020 NA-08 - Replacement: Pulling-In the Pipe String during the Pipe Bursting Process (Demo) The length of the insertion pit is determined by several factors, the most relevant being the minimum radius of curvature RK [m] of the new pipe. Plastic pipes are distorted during the bending process in such a way that the outside bend of the pipe (1) is elongated and the inside bend is compressed (2). Therefore, the pipe strain limits must be taken into account during the insertion process, and a distortion or stress analysis is to be completed.… |
