The method of pre-chlorinated pipe bursting has a history that extends many decades as the process was first adapted by water companies in the U.K. It has become a preferred method of replacement in Europe, with over 100 million feet replaced to date. The method utilizes HDPE pipe and entails the pre-assembly and testing of approximately 500 to 800 foot lengths of pipe above grade at a nearby staging location. This work is completed in advance of pipe bursting operations. Once the pipe string is proven to be sound by the testing and disinfection procedures, bursting operations can begin. In the area of water main being replaced, a series of small excavations are made and the new pipe is pulled into place by pipe bursting the existing main. A post-chlorination and flushing of the main is then performed and the new line is connected into the distribution system.
About us
Our purpose is to help cities add value to their water & sewer pipeline replacement work using methods that are less intrusive to the community during construction, expedite project schedules, provide new infrastructure with an ultra-long design life, and save tax dollars by reducing overall project costs. - Pre-chlorinated pipe bursting: 2-inch through 16-inch water distribution replacement in residential neighborhoods - Compression Fit HDPE pipe lining: 16-inch through 54-inch water transmission and sewer force main replacement - Slip lining: 2-inch through 54-inch water transmission and sewer force main replacement The team is led by President Andy Mayer, who is a native of England and worked for British Gas at a time when they were first developing pipe bursting and CompressionFit. He was instrumental in the development and advancement of both methods. With millions of feet of static pipe bursting and CompressionFit experience, Murphy Pipelines has received numerous awards including 2021, 2019, 2018, 2015, 2014, 2005, 2003 Trenchless Project of the Year, CSX Rail Performance & Safety Award, APWA Environmental Project of the Year and Underground Construction Technology Association Most Valuable Professional (Andy Mayer).

CompressionFit // ✅ Tight fitting HDPE provides maximum ID to deliver more flow ✅ Smooth wall of HDPE (150 c-factor) reduces friction and pumping costs ✅ No grouting is required due to compressive tight fit of new HDPE ✅ No available easement? We won't need one ✅ Design hours reduced as utility relocates are irrelevant Governed by ASTM F3508

Staging Yard ➡️ pre-chlorinated pipe bursting // To minimize the impact of construction to the residents/businesses, the staging area is located away from the pipe burst locations. This area is relatively narrow - requiring only a 15 foot easement, parking lot, city park, walking path, etc. #prechlorinatedpipebursting
