Summary: With the miniaturization of the telecommunication infrastructure, i.e., with mini-ducts and mini cables, it has been possible to use a low impact trenching technique to carry out all the steps of the network construction in one single day, in a less invasive way in terms of time and space, and with a smaller construction site than for the previous trenching technologies. Recommendation ITU T L.155 describes this trenching technique, which allows the easy installation, in narrow trenches, of underground optical cables and mini-cables in ducts or mini-ducts or directly buried. This type of narrow trench allows the use of reduced dimension machinery in small sized roads, typically those in cities, producing a lower quantity of waste material and so should be used in urban areas. This technology is mainly characterized by the simultaneous work of a suction machine and a trench saw, which allows for the possibility of opening and closing the work site the same day.
