A specialized machine called a ladder trencher, or ditcher, is effective for opening trenches for utility lines, telephone cables, drainage and sewer lines, and the like. It consists of two main components : a crawler, or rubber-tired carrier, and a digging mechanism. Depending on the soil condition and the depth of the trench to be excavated, the trencher can move at a speed of up to 2 miles(3. 2 kilometers) per hour. It has a long boom, and an endless chain rotates along the boom. Buckets or clamshells attached to this chain dig at the bottom of the trench, bring up excavated material, and unload it onto a conveyer while the machine moves slowly along. The width of the excavated trench ranges between 18 and 60 inches(46 and 152 centimeters). Ladder trencher can be used for digging depths of up to 20 feet(6 meters). 2, record 2, English, - ladder%20ditcher

British Gas and Tracto-Technik jointly developed the technology called pipe bursting, which "allows the replacement of cast iron, clay, cement, and other fracturable pipes with a new main of the same or larger size for water, sewer, or production lines. "... Pipe bursting involves digging an entry pit at one end of the failed pipe and running a pneumatic pipe-bursting tool and an expander into the pipe through the pit opening. The pipe-bursting tool is a soil displacement hammer fitted with cutting blades. A steel line, attached to the head of the tool and to a winch on the other end of the pipe, keeps the line tight and helps guide the tool. As the pipe burster hammers through old pipe, the expander moves broken fragments and dirt out of the way to make room for new pipe, which is attached to the back of the tool and follows it into the void. After the new pipe is in place, crews connect service laterals at specified locations. 2, record 4, English, - bursting%20tool

Le développement de nouveaux procédés pour la réhabilitation de conduites existantes, ceci afin d'augmenter leur durée de vie, a débuté dans les années 70. Le tubage ou l'insertion d'une petite conduite à l'intérieur de l'ancienne, était déjà utilisé depuis un certain temps. Les nouvelles méthodes consistaient: a) en l'utilisation d'une technique d'éclatement pour retirer l'ancienne conduite et la remplacer simultanément avec une nouvelle et b) en la fabrication in situ d'un nouveau revêtement en insérant une gaine imprégnée de résine dans la conduite existante afin de former une nouvelle conduite structurellement indépendante [après séchage]. 2, record 5, French, - %C3%A9clatement

However, he's not exactly sure what happened when the crew was excavating for a new water service and sanitary service. "There was a longitudinal crack along the water main right next to the bell, "Charlton said. "So we’re thinking that maybe the pressure that was exerted around the existing fill underneath the main created quite a pressure against the main and then releasing the pressure as we dug around made that failure happen from the bell back... 2, record 7, English, - longitudinal%20crack
