Multi-tasking trenchers: New compact trenchers narrow in on service installations

摘要

Contractors are doing more shallow subsurface installations in established areas as service utilities continue to expand cable, power and telecomm services. In residential construction, owners are adding amenities to existing properties. "Contractors are building outdoor kitchens or water features for homeowners and need to pull water and power out to those projects," says Jon Kuyers, rubber tire and compact segment manager for Vermeer. "Contractors have to offer more services now that require trenching capability."
