Cable ploughing is analternative to trenching. It allows to place pipes and cables directly into the ground whilst minimising ground damage.

This method is the most efficient in low urbanized areas. First the plough cuts the ground with a blade, then pipes, cables and warning tape is laid, leaving it all buried behind the plough.

Cable ploughing is a method mostly efficient when working along various transport routes as well as through fields and farmland as it prevents causing much ground damage.
