Tesmec M5 Chain Trencher
Our new Tesmec M5 Chain Trencher arrived in September as planned and was immediately put to work on the Wetalla Water Project. The trenching crew is impressed with the equipment and has been achieving excavation rates of up to 1000 metres / day. This machine has out-performed all our expectations in rock excavation.
The trencher is designed to plough through hard ground conditions, pulverising rocks and then discharging fine material to the side of the trench which can be used as backfill once the pipe has been laid. The M5 creates a neat trench with straight sides a flat bottom along with a laser can ensure it is cut to grade, which assists greatly in the pipelaying activities.
