Open trench cable laying is often used as opposed to laying cables directly into cable ducts. This method of laying cables into the ground tends to be used where the cables in use are of a higher voltage (MV HV Cables) and therefore have a greater outside cable diameter. Prior to the cable being laid, the cable trench must be dug and prepared properly. The trench width and depth also depends on the location of the cable trench is being dug.

When laying a cable into an open trench, there are key components withinthe typical equipment layout used excluding the trench and the cable.
