Summary: With the miniaturization of the telecommunication infrastructure, that is mini-ducts and mini-cable, it has been possible using a low impact trenching technique to carry out every step of network construction in one single day, in less invasive way in terms of time and space and with smaller size of construction site than previous trenching technologies. The Recommendation describes this trenching technique, that 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 to operate with reduced dimension machinery in small size road, typically of cities, producing a lower quantity of waste material and it should be used in urban area. This technology is mainly characterized by the simultaneous work of a suction machine with the trench saw and by the possibility of opening and closing the working site in the same day.
