A Case 660 trencher, fitted on the back with a TC400X Top Cutter being used to cut through the tarmac and the top part of the road bed to make a trench into which a new 11KV electricity cable can be laid. The advantages of using this equipment is that it leaves a clean edge, its height (or cutting depth) can be adjusted to avoid any buried pipes, and the resulting trench is fairly narrow.
