Pipe Bursting, in general
Replacement refers to the installation of sewers and drains in place of existing pipelines, where the new pipeline takes over the functions of the old system. The focus of this module is the trenchless replacement method by the means of pipe bursting. In addition to the process description, the areas of application and limits as well as options for quality assurance are discussed.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Identify and implement the most important rules and specifications,
- Select the appropriate replacement methods based on the type of damage and limiting conditions, and
- Identify possible causes of errors and describe quality assurance measures.

This module is devoted to the pipe bursting as a special method of the replacement of pipelines. In addition, the module looks at the effects that pipe bursting has on the pipeline itself as well as its surrounding environment.
Upon the successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Identify the effects of pipe bursting on the surrounding environment,
- Calculate the required minimum distances to the adjacent utilities and structures, and
- Identify methods of tensile force control and restriction
