What are the most common methods for laying underground cables?
2025-08-10There are two primary methods: open-trenching and trenchless installation.

Open-Trenching: This is the most traditional method, involving the excavation of a trench where cables or ducts are laid. This is a cost-effective solution for open areas without major obstacles. Our company provides a full range of equipment for this method, including cable drum stands, winches, underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers, and duct rods.

Trenchless Installation: This modern technique, which includes Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and microtunnelling, is used to install cables without significant surface disruption. It's ideal for crossing roads, rivers, or railways. While we specialize in open-trenching tools, we also offer essential cable pulling equipment and accessories that are compatible with trenchless methods.
