Static Cable Plough

Underground Constructions can offer its clients the most effective and efficient means of placing cables and pipe underground with the operation of static utility cable ploughs. Static utility cable ploughs can precisely place cable and/ or piping in the ground with minimal disturbance to the ground and surrounding environment.

Our use of cutting-edge GPS technology enables our operators to achieve pinpoint accuracy. GPS technology has transformed the way our cable is planted with preloaded information assisting with the operation of our machine, whilst also enhancing the planning stages of construction.

The cable plough works successfully in various types of soils and terrain. We specialise in ploughing fibre optic cable across remote country.

These full offsetting ploughs are designed for the installation of fibre optic cable Underground Constructions, adopting engineering principles and equipment to the plough to achieve ‘zero’ tension placement of cable with no risk of damage to the cable during the ploughing process. The ploughs are designed for the installation of fibre optic cable, copper core cable, flexible conduit and pipe at working depths from 1 metre to 1.5 metres and installed with ‘zero tension’. The units include front and rear swing cylinders, main lift, attitude and blade height cylinders to maintain maximum stability in uneven ground conditions.
