Micro-trenching has become a widely accepted method of installing fiber optic
services into areas where traditional cable placement would be too invasive.
Micro-trenching involves cutting a narrow trench into concrete sidewalks, asphalt
roadways, across parking lots, etc. Microduct is then installed into these trenches and
usually placed relatively shallow as compared to traditional cable trenches.
Many times the ducts float inside the trench for a myriad of reasons, mostly from the
memory of the plastics, or the direction the trench is taking.
U-TECK has developed an approved method of holding the duct firmly to the bottom
of the trench by placing our new trench clips into the narrow gap of the trench and
firmly against the duct.
These spring clips expand and press against the sidewalls of the trench and hold the
duct in place so that backfilling procedures can then take place.
These clips are installed using our trench clip insertion tool.
A trench clip is attached to the tip of the trench clip insertion tool and then pressed
into the gap of the trench and firmly against to the top of the duct.
Trench clips are specially designed to release from the insertion tool as they are
forced into the gap.
