DIAMOND TRENCHING

Diamond trenching is the minimally invasive and innovative way to lay cables. This cost-effective alternative to conventional excavation of bonded roads makes it possible to speed up the expansion of the fibre-optic network for all while causing less disruption of the traffic infrastructure.

EXCAVATION
WAS YESTERDAY.

APPLICATION

Laying of cables in traffic areas with bonded roads (instead of excavation)

Ideal for faster expansion of the fibre-optic network

CONSTRUCTION

The cable is laid by producing a slot in the actually necessary width (20-30 mm) with straight parallel flanks (improvement compared to milling)

Laying of the cables directly behind the cutting in the required number

Filling of the slot in the area of the unbound superstructure with suitable materials

Filling and sealing of the upper asphalt layers with an asphalt-like material

One of the standard procedures for the expansion of the fibre-optic network in Sweden and Norway

Machine for cutting the slot
and direct laying of the empty ducts

Laying the empty ducts in flexible
combination as needed

Clean edges – filling the
slot without any preparatory work required

Surface seal with
bituminous special joint filler

COMPELLING REASONS FOR
OUR SERVICES.

ADVANTAGES

Fast expansion of the broadband network thanks to high efficiency, enabling laying up to 500 m a day

Minor disruption to the traffic infrastructure, because the roads remain passable at almost all times

Reduction of construction costs

No pit lining, supports or the like necessary

Immediate filling possible thanks to clean and parallel cut edges without breaks

High-quality surface finish without re-cutting

Flexible use in the pavement or roadway area

Optimum material utilisation through flexible cable bundling

Resource-efficient procedure with low material movements (disposal/filling)
