"Conforming to the landscape" 27-inch HDPE pipe is moved into position for a CompressionFit installation in Colorado.
About us
Our purpose is to help cities add value to their water & sewer pipeline replacement work using methods that are less intrusive to the community during construction, expedite project schedules, provide new infrastructure with an ultra-long design life, and save tax dollars by reducing overall project costs. - Pre-chlorinated pipe bursting: 2-inch through 16-inch water distribution replacement in residential neighborhoods - Compression Fit HDPE pipe lining: 16-inch through 54-inch water transmission and sewer force main replacement - Slip lining: 2-inch through 54-inch water transmission and sewer force main replacement The team is led by President Andy Mayer, who is a native of England and worked for British Gas at a time when they were first developing pipe bursting and CompressionFit. He was instrumental in the development and advancement of both methods. With millions of feet of static pipe bursting and CompressionFit experience, Murphy Pipelines has received numerous awards including 2021, 2019, 2018, 2015, 2014, 2005, 2003 Trenchless Project of the Year, CSX Rail Performance & Safety Award, APWA Environmental Project of the Year and Underground Construction Technology Association Most Valuable Professional (Andy Mayer).

What is Pipe Splitting?? The method is really just a more specific method of pipe bursting, but relates more to replacing non-fracturable host pipe such as ductile iron or steel. Fracturable host pipe such as cast iron, PVC and AC pipe will all fracture in multiple locations as the tooling and expander are pulled through during replacement. Non-fracturable host pipe requires slightly different tooling, referred to as a pipe cutter or ductile iron slitter. This tooling is required as the host pipe will not fracture in multiple locations, and thus a 'splitting' action is required. #pipebursting

Squeeze-Off 🗜 Regardless of the joining method applied in the installation of HDPE pipe, it may become necessary to shut off the flow in the system when performing repairs. With HDPE pipe materials, squeeze-off of the pipe with specially-designed tools may be conveniently used to for this purpose. Use squeeze-off tools per ASTM International F 1563 and follow the squeeze-off procedures in ASTM International F 1041, as appropriate.
