Trenching

UMS recognises that ‘no-dig’ techniques are not applicable in all situations and has built up a fleet of chain trenchers which can excavate over 500m of trench per day in favourable ground conditions. Chain trenchers are ideally suited for verges and fields.

For hard surfaces such as concrete and rock, UMS uses a chain trencher fitted with a ‘rock wheel’. By producing a neat and compact trench, UMS is able to reduce the amount of reinstatement required.

Chain trenchers form part of UMS’ extensive hire fleet.
