Around critical infrastructure, active roadways, and congested utility networks where precision is required. Every photograph on this page is ABI equipment on an ABI job.
The method changes very little from one job to the next. What changes is what is around the hole.
Cones set, a lane kept open and traffic running past the dig. The opening is small, the spoil leaves with the truck, and the surface goes back the same day.
Utilities are exposed, not struck. Water and vacuum provide the control required to work safely around critical underground infrastructure.
Sites where a machine cannot be set up safely. The truck stays on the street and the work happens at the end of a hose.
Road, verge or hardstanding that has to be put back. A precise window costs far less to reinstate than an open trench.
Heated water through the frost line, so a winter program does not stop at the first hard freeze.
Swept and walked at the end of the shift, before the working area goes back to traffic or to the public.
