MANHOLE BURSTING

The Perco Manhole Burster was borne from our R&D facility, together with drivers from our clients to provide a more traditional rod-pull pipe bursting system that would work from within existing manholes, negating the need for launch & reception pits. Perco applied the basic design of our standard rod-pullers, and created a new system that was portable, collapsable and easy to install & operate.

Essentially, the system works on the basics of our standard 12t, 40t and 60t rod pullers, but the base machine can be broken down into its 4 main individual components, thus allowing the machine to be inserted through the cover of a standard manhole and assembled in the base of the manhole. When used in conjunction with our Snapit pipe, the whole operation can be managed from within existing chambers, reducing the environmental disruption, cost of excavations, cost of backfill / reinstatement and programme time.
