Micro-trenching is a modern, non-invasive technique that creates a narrow, shallow trench (usually 1-2 inches wide and 8-12 inches deep) to install micro-ducts for fiber optic cables. The process involves a specialized machine with a saw blade that cuts a precise slot in the pavement.

• Main Advantages:

  • Speed: It is significantly faster than conventional trenching, allowing for rapid deployment of new networks.

  • Minimal Disruption: The narrow trench size causes very little disturbance to roads, sidewalks, and traffic, making it perfect for congested urban areas.

  • Cost-Effective: It requires less labor, excavation, and backfill material, resulting in lower project costs.
