According to Science Direct, “What comes to the defense of our environment nowadays is trenchless, no-dig technology which offers ecologically clean and economically effective solutions for our big urban centers.” While there are plenty of uses for traditional pipe repair, trenchless installation methods are the best way to fix your pipes and avoid large messes.
Traditional Pipe Repair
There is no question why people are deciding to ditch traditional dig-and-replace repair. The traditional pipe repair method cuts or digs a trench to gain access to the pipes needing repair. This method usually requires the use of heavy excavating equipment to open and refill the work area. This often causes unneeded damage to undergound pipes, cables, and sewers. It also leaves an enormous mess in your yard or property. Traditional pipe repair is not a resourceful way to repair your pipes.
Trenchless Installation
Trenchless pipe repair is 50-60% faster than traditional pipe repair, 30-40% less in cost, and minimally invasive. This means that you won’t have to dig up half of your farm, and it is safer on the environment. Trenchless technology leads to a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and up to 25-30% in cost savings, compared to open trench methods.
Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of replacing buried pipelines such as sewer, water, or natural gas pipes, without the need for a traditional construction trench. Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining is a method of trenchless restoration used in the repair of existing pipes.
Nowadays, it is very important we protect our environment and natural resources. Traditional digging is difficult and dangerous for those who are working, and it has the potential to damage your property. Therefore, you should choose trenchless installation next time you need pipe repair.
