Could someone knowledgeabe explain what the equipment in http://grisha.iserver.net/fibercut/99050607.jpg is?
Is this some kind of a bore, and could it have caused the cut? Because if yes, then it is very probable that it will happen again soon - I think I saw about 5 of these machines all around here.
They are directional boaring machines.. they allow the people installing the conduit to not have to dig things up (other than the start point and stop point (if they are lucky)) there are quite a few diffrent types of boaring techniques but they are basicly like earthworms.. They can cause lots of neat damage to things and even good operators will hit something every once in a while. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- James D.
