TT Technologies Grundoburst

Burst and replace water, sewer, gas and other pipes with the Grundoburst static pipe bursting system from TT Technologies. It can pull in a variety of replacement pipe including PVC, DIP, ABS, cast iron, fusion-welded HDPE and VCP jacking pipe. The static pipe bursting system utilizes a specially designed bladed cutter head to make bursting ductile iron and steel pipe possible. Pulled by a hydraulic bursting unit, the cutter head’s special cutting wheels split the host pipe. An attached expander spreads and displaces the split pipe into the surrounding soil while simultaneously pulling in the new pipe. QuickLock bursting rods are linked together, not threaded. This saves time, prevents twisting and extends the life of the cutter head over threaded bursting rods. Six models are available for bursting 2- through 54-inch pipes and larger. 800-533-2078; www.tttechnologies.com
