Pipe Bursting in Coolidge by DEVCO Development and Engineering

DEVCO Development and Engineering provides trenchless pipe bursting services in Coolidge and throughout Pinal County for residential, commercial, and public underground utilities. We replace failing sewer and water lines by breaking the old pipe in place and pulling in a new one, often in a single day, using engineered bursting heads and modern pulling equipment sized for local soil and pipe conditions.

How Pipe Bursting Works Under Your Property

Pipe bursting is a trenchless replacement method. Instead of digging up the whole line, we expose the pipe at two or more pits, feed a steel cable or rod through the old pipe, attach a bursting head and new pipe, then pull everything back through.

The bursting head fractures the existing pipe outward into the soil while the new HDPE or fusible PVC pipe follows right behind it. You end up with a continuous new pipe in the exact path of the old one, without a long open trench through your yard, driveway, or parking lot.

Where We Use Pipe Bursting Around Coolidge

We use this method a lot on older clay, concrete, and brittle plastic lines that run under driveways, slabs, trees, or finished landscaping. It fits well for homes on tight lots, commercial properties along busy streets, and utility work where deep open trenching would be disruptive or unsafe.

• Replacing root-damaged sewer laterals running under concrete or asphalt
• Upsizing small existing service lines to larger diameters
• Renewing brittle concrete or clay mains with minimal surface demo
• Bypassing sections with chronic blockages or offsets
• Reducing restoration costs for pavement, landscaping, and hardscape

Pipe Bursting for Concrete Pipe Replacement

Concrete sewer and storm pipes are common in older areas and can crack, spall, or separate at the joints. That’s where pipe bursting really shines. The bursting head easily breaks the concrete barrel while we pull in a seamless new pipe that won’t have joint leaks or root intrusion.

If you’ve been told you need extensive demolition to get to a buried concrete line, ask about Pipe bursting for concrete pipe replacement Coolidge projects. In many cases we can avoid breaking up long runs of sidewalk, approaches, or drive aisles and just work from a few well-placed pits using compact equipment like our John Deere 35P mini excavator.

What To Know Before Starting a Pipe Bursting Project

Every property is different, but there are a few things we’ll review with you up front: pipe size and material, depth, what’s above it, and where we can safely set launch and exit pits. We typically start with a camera inspection and utility locates to confirm alignment and avoid conflicts with other underground lines.

Costs depend on length, depth, access, and how difficult it is to handle spoils and restoration. For a deeper dive into the typical pricing factors, you can look over this explanation of the cost of pipe bursting and then call us with your specific details.

Why Experience Matters With Underground Utilities

Pipe bursting looks simple from the surface, but a lot can go wrong if it’s not planned correctly. Inexperienced contractors may misjudge pipe condition, pull too hard and damage the new line, or place pits where shoring or traffic control becomes a big problem later.

We bring underground utility experience throughout Pinal County, plus the discipline that comes with being a DVBE, SDVOSB, PDBE, SB-Micro, and SB-PW contractor. Our crews understand soil behavior, groundwater issues, and how to stage pipe and equipment so your site stays organized and safe.

Common Questions About Pipe Bursting

Will my yard or parking lot be completely torn up?
No. We still dig access pits, but we avoid a continuous trench. Most surfaces above the old pipe remain intact, and restoration is usually limited to small work areas.

How long does a typical job take?
For many residential lines, the actual bursting and pipe pull can be done in a day once pits are open. Larger commercial or municipal runs can take longer, especially if traffic control or deeper pits are involved.
