Pipe bursting
Pipe bursting is a process that is easier to understand when viewed, rather than described, so here's a short video of the process.
A well-established method for trenchless replacement of worn out and undersized gas, water and sewer pipes, pipe bursting happens when an existing pipe is fractured from the inside as a slightly-larger pipe is drawn into it as its replacement.
The most common type of pipe bursting involves inserting a cone-shaped tool (called a bursting head) into an old pipe. The head fractures the old pipe. Simultaneously, the new pipe is pushed or pulled in behind the bursting head.

Typically, pipe bursting is carried out in 300 to 400-foot lengths (the usual distance between sewer manholes). Pipes suitable for bursting include clay, cast iron, unreinforced concrete, asbestos, and some plastics.
Reinforced concrete pipe is also suitable if it isn't heavily reinforced or if it has deteriorated significantly.
Pipe bursting is just one option among several when considering trenchless sewer repair.
