Pipe Bursting
AdvantagesReplace existing pipe with minimal disturbanceIncrease pipe diameterNew pipe follows invert of old pipeNo need to abandon existing pipe
DisadvantagesPotential for surface heave and deformation of nearby utilitiesTemporary bypass necessary Bends and restrained joints problematic

Auger Boring
Most common trenchless construction methodUse auger to bore while advancing a steel casingGenerally limited to lengths of 200 – 400 feetCasing pipe diameters of 24 to 72 inches

Auger Boring
AdvantagesWide variety of ground conditions, including rockCommon construction methodFace access to remove obstructionsUsually minimal surface disruption
DisadvantagesDifficult to maintain line & grade in certain ground conditionsDifficult to steerRelatively large area required for jacking pit Dewatering usually required in granular soil

Pipe Ramming
Pneumatic hammer used to drive welded steel or Permalok casingTypical casing pipe diameters of 4 to 72 inches (147-inch Permalok casing recently driven under a railway in Iowa)Applicable for short crossings of 200 – 300 feetPipe ramming can be used in conjunction with HDD to drive casing and to assist in pullback

Microtunneling/Pipe Jacking
Microtunneling: small diameter tunneling using a remote controlled tunneling machinePipe jacking: small diameter tunneling using a guided tunneling machine (i.e., operator located inside the boring machine and/or on the haul cart)
