Where We Work
We work in all environments, tackling the impossible challenges that traditional methods cannot solve.
Ducted Cables
Extract cables from ducted systems where digging or road closures are prohibited, minimizing disruption to urban infrastructure.
Directly Buried Cables
Access in-ground buried cables where trenching is cost-prohibitive or environmentally restricted.
Collapsed Ducts
Recover cables from collapsed ducted systems that cannot be pulled out using traditional methods.
FTTX Projects
Support fibre-to-the-x deployments by clearing legacy infrastructure and enabling modern network upgrades.
Decommissioned Exchange Recovery
Recover valuable copper assets from decommissioned exchanges and legacy infrastructure.
Why Customers Choose Us
Our customers engage with us driven by two key factors
The Insatiable Demand for Copper
The demand for copper is so high because it is essential to modern infrastructure. It is critical for power grids, electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems like wind and solar. At the same time, copper is difficult to replace and slow to produce, which further intensifies demand.
As telcos decommission legacy copper lines in favour of fiber and wireless infrastructure, the unused copper embedded in the ground, ducts, and exchanges represents a recoverable asset rather than sunk cost. Recovering this copper can generate substantial revenue, reduce maintenance and security expenses, and support sustainability goals by returning valuable material to the supply chain.
The Demand for Fibre Connectivity
Fibre connections are essential because they provide the speed, reliability, and capacity needed to support modern digital life. Unlike copper-based networks, fibre can transmit vast amounts of data over long distances with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for streaming, cloud computing, remote work, telemedicine, and emerging technologies like AI and smart cities.
Fibre is also more energy-efficient and future-proof, capable of scaling to higher speeds without major infrastructure changes. As data demand continues to grow, fibre connections are critical to ensuring resilient, high-performance networks that can support economic growth and digital inclusion.
