Abstract:
Provided is a microtrencher having a utility avoidance system that detects objects buried under the roadway, identifies whether the buried object is a utility and determines whether the buried utility is in the path of the cutting wheel. If the buried utility is in the path of the cutting wheel, an alert is sent to the operator, the vehicle is stopped, and/or the cutting wheel is raised in relation to the roadway.

Claim (Index 21):
The method according to  claim 18 , further comprising forming the flowable concrete-based fill in a fill device by mixing together a cement, a polymer bonding agent, a colorant, an aggregate, and water, wherein the colorant provides the flowable concrete-based fill with a color substantially matching the color of the roadway, the polymer bonding agent provides adhesion to the existing roadway to seal the microtrench against water infiltration, the flowable concrete-based fill having a final set time of 2 hour or less, and the flowable concrete-based fill is configured to flow into the microtrench from the fill device; and\n continuously filling the microtrench with the flowable concrete-based fill material from the fill device to cover the optical fiber and/or innerduct/microduct, fill and seal the microtrench and return the roadway substantially back to the original state with the color-matched, filled and sealed microtrench.
