7 Direct Bury Application Direct Bury Application requires either by trenching or HDD method. With all the configuration of Direct Bury Application, the microduct can be directly deployed on the ground surface without any additional ducting pipe needed. Open trenching method is the most common excavation for telecommunication cables and pipes, it involves excavating the ground, laying the duct then backfilling either by stone or sand. In mini trenching, the mechanical trenchers cut slots 150 to 400mm deep and 70 to 150mm wide using a Tungsten Carbide. Micro Trenching,which is the smallest trenching method that cuts slots between 70 to 300mm deep and 10 to 30mm wide. Besides the trenching method, direct burial can also be applied through HDD method. HDD is a steerable trenchless method by using a surface-launched drilling rig, with minimal impact on the surrounding area. It is suitable for a variety of soil conditions and work including road, landscape and river crossing.
