<p>Method for replacing damaged pipes, e.g. sewers, buried in the ground and extending between two shafts or access wells, lengths of a replacement pipe being descended one after the other through one of the shafts. The pipe lengths (1) are descended in the shaft placed on a pressure medium hose (5) by means of which a breaker head (3) is powered for disintegrating the existing damaged pipe (B) while being pulled through it and entraining the first pipe length (1). The pipe lengths are descended through the shaft to a position adjacent a previously descended pipe length, whereupon the end surfaces of the two pipe lengths are heated to a temperature in the vicinity of the melting point and are welded together. The invention also relates to a device for heating the end surfaces of the pipe lengths (1) for carrying out the method. The device consists of two plate members (12, 13) which are interconnected by a hinge (11) and which, when brought together, form a heating plate (6) for heating the pipe end surfaces to be welded together, said heating plate (6) having a central hole (18) for allowing passage of the compressed-air hose (5).</p> |
