Select Installation and Bursting Pit Locations

Consider the following when selecting pit locations:
Slope

factors affecting the risks create an unsafe condition for pipe bursting.
Traffic

buffer zone around equipment.
Space
Check that starting and ending points allow enough space for installation and bursting pits.
Check that installation area has enough space for product to be installed.
Check that there is enough space to work.
Access
Consider shade, wind, fumes, and other site features.
