pipe rehabilitation

Pipe bursting technology

The pipe bursting method reduces excavation work, saves time and minimises disruption to the surrounding environment. This creates new infrastructure exactly where it is needed – quickly, economically and with minimal impact on the surface.

pipe rehabilitation

Cable Burst

TERRA-EXTRACTOR cable pipe bursters offer an efficient and cost-effective solution for trenchless pipe rehabilitation. With 10, 30, and 40 tonnes of pulling force, they enable the reliable replacement of damaged lines with minimal disruption to existing infrastructure. Thanks to their flexible cable technology, they are particularly well-suited for confined job sites and challenging pipe alignments—ensuring fast, precise, and reliable pipe renewal.

Rod Burst

TERRA-HYDROCRACK rod bursters stand for fast, cost-effective, and reliable trenchless pipe rehabilitation. Damaged pipelines can be replaced without extensive excavation, allowing for the simultaneous installation of new pipes. High pulling forces, robust technology, and versatile application options make the TERRA-HYDROCRACK a high-performance solution for modern pipe rehabilitation.
