Excavator carrying out earthworks

Equipment

Our own plant — the schedule never waits for a hire company

For earthworks, drilling, moving drums and pulling cable we use machines we own. That means less downtime and more control over the deadline.

Why our own plant

Machines chosen for cable network construction

Building a cable line comes down to a handful of repeated operations: digging the trench, drilling under obstacles, moving the drum, laying or pulling the cable, backfilling and restoring the ground. Our fleet covers every one of them, so a crew can move smoothly from one task to the next.

The photos below are manufacturers' illustrations of these machine models. Photos from our own sites are in the gallery.
