Tunneling / TBM in Broomfield, CO
Pipe bursting in Broomfield for sewer and water lateral replacement in Anthem, Wildgrass, and Brandywine — no open trench through HOA-governed berms and xeriscape.
Tunneling / TBM in Broomfield, Colorado
Pipe bursting in Broomfield restores sewer and water laterals in Anthem, Wildgrass, and Brandywine without disturbing HOA-spec berms and xeriscape. Static bursting frags host pipe and pulls HDPE replacement through Broomfield County expansive clay — one entry and one exit pit replace a continuous trench through landscaping that HOA restoration standards would require weeks to re-establish.
Broomfield's PVC sewer stock from 1990s–2000s subdivision builds carries root intrusion and offset joint failures confirmed by CCTV. Bursting handles these in-place rather than full pavement removal.
Expansive clay behavior in Broomfield County affects burst-head force requirements during dry periods — pre-burst assessment determines whether desiccation cracks require modified advance planning.

Water lateral under Interlocken campus courtyard
Campus hardscape — burst from pit to pit, courtyard surface preserved.
How Tunneling / TBM Works in Broomfield
Broomfield burst crews CCTV-confirm host condition and pull 811-cleared locates before expander enters pipe. Expansive clay provides predictable friction when properly hydrated — desiccation assessment standard on summer jobs. Post-burst CCTV confirms pipe seat.
Soil & Geology — Broomfield County
Broomfield County expansive clay, alluvial fill on NW Parkway lowlands, and compacted structural fill on Interlocken campus redevelopments.
Broomfield bores hit expansive clay on most residential grids, alluvial fill on NW Parkway lowlands, and structural fill over native clay on Interlocken campus redevelopments. County-border jobs may shift soil model mid-alignment.
Weather & Scheduling
US-36 corridor hail and winter chinook cycles push Broomfield crews to plan lightning holds on Interlocken campus pads and clay heave on Anthem residential grids.
US-36 corridor exposed sites see summer lightning and hail. Winter freeze-thaw on clay affects pit access in Anthem and Wildgrass. We plan seasonal windows with your campus or residential schedule.
811 Locates & Permits in Broomfield
City and County of Broomfield Public Works, CDOT US-36 and NW Parkway relocations, Broomfield Creek and Standley Lake watershed adjacency.
City and County of Broomfield handles all permits as a unified city-county. CDOT controls US-36 and NW Parkway state corridor bores. Standley Lake watershed may add review on west alignments. Interlocken campus coordination required for security and utility access.
Trenchless vs Open-Cut Here
Open-cut through Anthem and Wildgrass HOA berms requires architectural review and multi-week landscape restoration — bursting trades that for two pits. Fits when host pipe is intact and HOA surface is genuinely worth protecting.

How we work
Our Process for Broomfield Tunneling / TBM
Scope & Site Walk
You share plans or describe the problem; we confirm alignment, depth, access, and which trenchless method fits Colorado soils.
811 Ticket & Marks
Colorado 811 ticket filed; wait period before pits open unless your permit path differs. We pothole where marks conflict.
Profile & Permits
Bore plan, CDOT or city ROW permits, railroad agreements, and crossing engineering when the path leaves private property.
Rig Mobilization
Compact spread for tight Boulder lots; larger HDD for I-25 or I-70 relocations — matched to length and diameter.
Pilot & Ream
Steered pilot on design line, ream passes sized for your pipe or casing, fluid program tuned for clay or sandstone.
Pullback & Install
HDPE fusion, steel casing, or multi-duct bundle pulled with tension and bend-radius monitoring.
Test & As-Built
Pressure test, mandrel, or survey records for owners, inspectors, and operators as spec requires.
Restore & Closeout
Compact pits, replace sod or hardscape per scope, leave 811 ticket and locate map in your project file.
