Trenching
Micro Trenching and Narrow Trenching Overview
The two most popular methods to install fibre-optic cables are micro trenching and narrow trenching. This allows micro-ducts to safely and quickly be laid with minimal disruption to the infrastructure. Micro-ducts are placed directly into a trench in existing asphalt, concrete, modular, block paved or soft infrastructure. Which solution is optimal for you depends on your fibre-optic requirements and municipal regulations. Telco approved access chambers can be installed along the designated route, or existing handholes and/or manholes can be incorporated into the network.
Narrow Trenching
30 cm (12”) to 45 cm (18”) wide up to 90 cm (36”) maximum depth. The narrow trench installation is deeper and wider, where municipalities require a greater depth or where terrain conditions require. The width of any trench depends on the micro-duct configuration and the strand count requirement, usually between 6 cm & 15 cm. Narrow Trenching is commonly used for backbone fibre applications and utility installations.
Micro Trenching
3.5 cm (1 1/2”) to 7.5 cm (3”) wide up to 30 cm (12”) maximum depth. A micro tench installation is fast, affordable and non-invasive, perfect for cost-efficient projects and municipalities where a shallow installation is acceptable. We recommend a depth of no less than 30 cm in hard deployments or 25 cm of depth in soft infrastructure, but pre-defined municipal standards are always taken into account.

Vibratory Ploughing
Vibratory ploughing offers a cost-effective solution for installing Lite Access Technologies Inc micro-ducts over long distances in soft ground. This method allows for the efficient placement of our direct bury or pre-populated micro-ducts into trenches up to 1 meter deep. Strategically positioned hand holes along the installation route provide convenient access points for branching or splicing, ensuring flexibility and ease of network maintenance. Ploughing is especially advantageous in rural areas, where favorable terrain allows for continuous and uninterrupted installation, making it an ideal choice for expansive deployments.
Vault Installation Services
Lite Access Technologies Inc specializes in the professional installation of vaults for fibre optic, electrical, and utility infrastructure projects. Our experienced team ensures precise placement, secure installation, and seamless integration into existing networks.
With extensive expertise in underground construction, we prioritize efficiency, safety, and quality in every vault installation. Whether for telecommunications, power distribution, or municipal utilities, we provide reliable solutions tailored to meet project specifications.
Directional Drilling
Directional drilling, also known as Horizontal directional drilling (HDD), is a trenchless method for installing underground utilities such as pipelines, conduits, and cables with minimal surface disruption. This advanced technique is ideal for projects where traditional trenching is impractical, such as under roadways, railroads, wetlands, and bodies of water. The HDD process consists of three main phases: first, a small-diameter pilot hole is precisely drilled along a planned underground path; next, the hole is gradually enlarged to accommodate the required pipeline or conduit; finally, the pipeline or utility is pulled through the enlarged hole, creating a continuous underground system with minimal exposure at entry and exit points. HDD offers significant advantages over traditional excavation methods, reducing environmental impact, preserving existing infrastructure, and ensuring a more efficient installation process.

Specialized Micro Trench Cutting Head
In 2017, Lite Access Technologies Inc forged an exclusive partnership with a leading European manufacturer to develop a state-of-the-art cutting blade tailored for fibre-optic installations. Designed for high-flow bobcats and skid steers, the Lite Access Technologies Inc's cutting head features a front cutter and shark blade that executes an ‘up cut,’ pushing rather than pulling through infrastructure. This method significantly reduces blade hopping, ensuring cleaner, faster, and more precise incisions in micro trenching and narrow trenching applications. Our innovative trench head is engineered for versatility, with side-to-side movement and swiveling capability to navigate sidewalks and other deployment challenges. Additionally, the shark blade’s replaceable tips are built for long-term durability, lasting years—far outperforming traditional wet saws that require frequent replacements.
The Breeze Fibre-Optic Cable Blowing Machine
The breeze fibre-optic blowing machine is a cutting-edge solution designed for the fast, efficient, and cost-effective installation of fibre-optic cables within micro-duct networks. Engineered to support fibre-to-the-X (FTTx) deployments, this advanced technology enables seamless network expansion for Lite Access Technologies Inc and fibre providers worldwide. What sets the Breeze apart is its unparalleled versatility and is the only machine on the market capable of blowing fibre-optic cables ranging from 2 to 288 fibres using a single system. This innovation maximizes efficiency, reduces installation costs, and provides a scalable solution to meet both current and future connectivity demands.
