Threaded steel pipe for replacement using pipe bursting?
(OP)
Apologies if this isn't the correct forum - let me know the correct one if this is the case!
We have the thought to replace a 100' long, 16" diameter steel casing pipe with a new same size casing pipe. As the casing pipe runs under a railroad and busy road, open cut isn't considered an option.
To do this, we'll "push" from a pit and "pull" from a manhole; both a pipe bursting head and the new casing pipe will be pulled from the pit. As we're limited in the size of the pit to about 16' in length, I'm trying to find out if it's a better idea to weld or thread together 10-12' sections of steel pipe. Is this a construction issue or an agency specification issue?
Thanks for any help .. I'm a bit out of my comfort zone here!
