Excavation (pit layout)

The Duraliner™ system can be installed in sections in the range of 500'. The exact length varies according to the specific site conditions on each project. With many applications, the avoidance of disruption to transportation systems and commerce offers significant savings over conventional dig and replace methods.

The following diagram and accompanying table indicate the minimum pit dimensions required by the expansion process. Pipe size and depth will also affect pit dimensions when fusing above ground. See Insertion Parameters for a detailed explanation of pit requirements for a range of pipe sizes. In cases where fusion must be performed in the pit, Internal Fusion and Insertion provides pit dimensions.
