Cable laying apparatus
Apparatus 2 for laying a cable 22 in a microtrench in a surface having a surface course, a base course and an underlying sub-base. The apparatus comprises a rotary cutting wheel 10 adapted to cut a micro trench in surface and to fragment the cut material from the surface and base courses to aggregate. A cable system feeds cable 22 from a cable reel 20 into the micro trench and to lay it along the bottom of the micro trench. A vacuum system 18 is arranged to remove the materials cut and fragmented in cutting the micro trench and to convey these to a sorter (32, Fig 2c) adapted to separate and aggregate from other material removed from the micro trench. A conveyor is adapted to convey this aggregate to a pugmill (34, Fig 2c) which is arranged to mix the aggregate with a flowable, setting material and to convey this mixture of aggregate and flowable, setting material to a dispenser (38, Fig 2c) adapted to dispense this mixture over the cable laid on the bottom of the micro trench. The apparatus is mounted in a self-propelled vehicle less than 1.2m in width and less than 2m in length.
