Product and Services - Microtrenching Services
Microtrenching is the optimal solution for deploying both access- and back-bone in especially urban areas – all in only one handling. Micro-trenching technologies for laying fibre have been attracting attention in Malaysia. This technology can replace traditional trenches with a narrow slit that is sliced or sawn in the surface of the road. It makes use of micro-ducts with narrow, vertical cross-sections (12mm by 30mm for example, rather than circular) and very small diameter fibre cables (for example 24 fibres in a 4mm diameter cable, and 72 fibres in a 6.1mm cable).

While digging and re-instating the road for a traditional trench is a time-consuming and expensive exercise, the micro-trench can avoid many costs as it does not penetrate the surface layer of the road. This means the crew can dispense with traditional expensive backfill material and road re-surfacing, instead backfilling with grout, concrete or similar substances, which once sealed may be practically invisible. It is claimed that micro-trenching can cut the cost of the civil works by 80%.

Lotus West Sdn Bhd has been working with roll out techniques in FTTH projects and were one of the companies to experiment with micro duct, micro cables, blowing techniques of micro pipes and micro cables.
