Cable trenching is the bread and butter of the telecommunication industry. Everything you need to know about open trench cable laying.
Cable trenching is the bread and butter of the telecommunication industry — the open-trench method of excavating a pathway, laying conduit or cable, and reinstating the surface. It remains the most direct and cost-effective way to install underground services where the route is clear of obstructions.
Modern trenching is a long way from a crew with shovels. Our teams use excavators, vacuum excavation trucks and ride-on trenchers to cut clean, compliant trenches at speed, with cable and pipe locating completed first so every existing service is proven before a blade touches the ground.
Depth, bedding, marker tape and compaction are all governed by Australian standards and carrier specifications — Telstra, NBN Co and Optus each publish their own requirements, and accredited contractors are audited against them.
