About the book:
Pipe bursting is a well-established method widely used for trenchless replacement of existing pipe with new pipe of equal or greater diameter. Pipe Bursting Projects (ASCE Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 112) provides the best and latest practices for the design and construction of pipelines using pipe bursting methods, with a special focus on building pipelines under roads, railroads, and streets. This new manual will be useful for new and experienced engineers as it covers both introductory and advanced topics, including history, recent innovations, documentation, typical applications, and terminology from the planning through construction phases. Utility owners, contractors, and any other professionals involved in pipeline construction will also benefit. Pipe Bursting Projects was prepared by the Pipe Bursting Task Force of the ASCE Committee on Trenchless Installation of Pipelines (TIPS), under supervision of the Pipeline Division.
