Gas Line Installation

Main Reasons Why Trenchless Methods are Better

• You can reduce the need to disturb the environment where people are living and also work areas.
• The paths provided by existing pips can be used. This reduces the problems associated with new routing such as steering and control.
• Uses less space under ground. You can reduce the chances of interfering with utilities or abandoned pipes.
• Provide the opportunity to upsize a pipe without open-trench digging and construction.
• Require less-exposed working area, and therefore, are safer for both workers and the community.
• Eliminate the need for spoil removal and minimize damage to pavement and disturbance to other utilities.

Trenchless gas line installations can fix outdated gas lines

Like many types of utility lines, gas lines can deteriorate over time as the result of corrosion, weather related damage, or other types of issues. A trenchless gas line can be installed with a method like pipe bursting or pipe lining in order to replace an existing deteriorated line. Deteriorated gas lines are a major safety concern and need to usually be repaired as quickly as possible, and methods that require no digging can ensure that the line is fixed within the necessary timeframe.

Trenchless gas line repairs are safer

To ensure the safety of contractors as well as others in the area, a trenchless gas line in Alhambra CA is often used. The existing gas line does not need to be dug up, which means that there is no chance of breaking the gas line in the wrong place or hitting the wrong utility line. Avoiding the need to dig by itself can dramatically improve the safety of the repair, but it is also safer to use a trenchless technology like pipe bursting which requires minimal disruption of the existing pipe and allows most of it to remain intact, while reinforcing the existing gas line. In other cases, a no-dig method like pipe bursting can be used with the proper safety protocols.

A trenchless gas line is just as durable as a newly dug gas line

It’s a mistake to assume that a completely new gas line that is installed with a trench will be better than a trenchless gas line, because trenchless gas lines are as good as new and avoid the need to dig. The pipe bursting method destroys the existing gas line and installs a new one in its place, while the pipe lining method repairs the existing gas line and ensures that it is like-new. Gas pipe liners are very high quality and designed to last for several decades with the appropriate care and maintenance, and they are an excellent alternative to digging.
