ITS has a fleet of FOECK SpiderPlows that can install underground utilities up to 9.2 feet cover on a 12” pipe and upwards of 40 separate 2” conduits. They are versatile and can operate in wet conditions, on side hills, in narrow spaces, and behind obstacles. The machines are strategically located throughout North America so that our teams can service jobs efficiently while reducing mobilization time and costs. Our wide variety of chute attachments can be tailored to each project, ensuring adequate spacing of underground utilities as well as ensuring cover.

Our crews are trained to operate and maintain this specialty equipment. Each crew has a service on location at all times to maintain and repair the equipment to minimize down time and keep up project productivities. This is down by the operators so there is no need to wait for specialized mechanics.

The SpiderPlow is a two-unit system that works together. The winch unit is the largest mobile winch in the world. It has a large blade or “anchor” on the back that goes into the ground. The Winch cable attaches to the plow and pulls the plow ahead. At the back of the plow is a ripper shank or “sword”, which cuts open the ground and creates the trench. There is a laying chute attached to the sword which installs the utility into the slot that the sword creates. Once the utility is laid, the ground backfills the trench.

In one pass, the SpiderPlow is able to excavate, lay the utility and backfill, allowing productivity increases of twenty times versus a traditional excavator and up to five times of a trencher.
