BURSTFORM TIP Long pipe lining
The range of applications to renew sewage pipes using the TIP method through a manhole has been extended by another variation. Up to now it was impossible to pull in a PE pipe string “Tight in Pipe“ (tightly inside the existing old host pipe channel) through an existing sewage manhole. To enable this, Tracto-Technik (TT Group) have developed a unique device for the cold forming of HD PE pipes without causing any damage to the pipe.

Vacuum Potholing Process
Vacuum excavation utilizes the kinetic energy of a high velocity air stream to penetrate, expand and break-up soil. Loose soil and rocks are then removed from the hole through the use of a very powerful vacuum. This technique is typically used to create a hole one to two feet square and as deep as required to expose the buried utility.

Microtunneling project in Turkey
As the name implies, microtunneling is used to construct small tunnels.In most microtunning operations the pipe is inserted from the entry and pushed behind the machine. This is a process often called Pipe Jacking. As the machine advances, more tunnel liner is pushed from the entrance. Thus, the speed of the advancing machine is controlled by the speed at which the pipe is inserted into the entrance.

Pipe renewal with TIP in the City of Dortmund
TIP is short for ?Tight in Pipe? and describes the main characteristic of this technique. TIP is an innovative method for the renewal of pipes. The new pipe is pulled into the old pipe to be renewed without destroying it, tightly adjacent to the wall of the old pipe. Here the old stoneware sewer has an outer diameter of 300 mm and the new pipe made of Polypropylen PP-HM has an inner diameter of 292 mm. This means only a slight reduction of the pipe?s cross section compared to the old sewer.
