Pipe Bursting

American West Construction, LLC (AWC) is an exceptional contractor recognized for its expertise in pipe bursting, a method used to efficiently replace damaged or undersized pipelines while minimizing surface disruption.

Pipe Bursting works by inserting a bursting head into the existing pipe, which breaks the old pipe outward while pulling a new, durable pipe into place. As the bursting head moves forward, the original pipe is fractured and displaced allowing the new pipe to seamlessly take its position. In many cases, this method also allows for an increase in pipe diameter, improving overall flow capacity.

This trenchless solution minimizes excavation while providing a long-lasting upgrade to underground infrastructure.
