Innovation embedded in our DNA
Our commitment to innovation runs deep at Tesmec Australia, driven by our mother company Tesmec S.p.A. Pioneering trencher technology since the 1960s, we continuously elevate industry standards, making innovation an integral part of our identity.
MECHANICAL LAYING
First pioneered in the 1960s by the founder of the Marais Group, mechanical laying revolutionised the way networks are installed by merging trenching and cable or pipe deployment into a single, seamless process. Central to this method is a specialised laying box, which precisely guides cables or pipes into the trench while preserving the required bending radius.
This innovative technique offers a range of significant advantages:
​
-
Reduces installation costs by up to 40%
-
Accelerates deployment, achieving rates from 400m/day in hard ground to 2,500m/day in soft ground
-
Streamlines operations, enabling faster commissioning and quicker returns on investment
-
Minimises on-site workforce requirements
-
Lessens environmental impact by reducing the quantity of backfill materials
-
Improves safety by eliminating the need for workers to enter trenches.
​​
This precision-driven method guarantees accurate placement of cables or pipes, bedding sand, and warning mesh—making it an ideal solution for today’s infrastructure challenges.
GEORADAR
Developed by Tesmec, our ground-penetrating radar technology identifies buried utilities before trenching begins, significantly improving both safety and efficiency on the worksite.
​
By precisely locating existing underground networks, this solution helps prevent costly delays and hazardous incidents, ensuring a smoother workflow.
​
Equipped with the cutting-edge Easy Pipe Tracking (EPT) system, it delivers accurate depth readings and positioning, optimising the trenching process from start to finish.
Celebrated for its innovation and reliability, this technology was honoured with the prestigious IATT Award in 2017, setting a benchmark in the field of ground-penetrating radar solutions.
ADVANCED ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
Developed by Tesmec, TrenchTronic 5.0 is a cutting-edge control system engineered to elevate trenching and surface mining efficiency.
Purpose-built to streamline operations, it integrates advanced functionalities that reduce reliance on operator expertise.
By enabling faster, more accurate, and highly efficient trenching, TrenchTronic 5.0 transforms operational performance. Its intuitive user interface and real-time monitoring capabilities ensure consistent machine optimisation and reliability—setting a new standard in trenching technology.
REMOTE CONTROL
Re.M is a remote monitoring platform that provides continuous, real-time data for trenchers and surface miners.
By tracking machine location, performance metrics, and productivity levels, it offers comprehensive visibility into field operations.
​
Operating 24/7, this technology ensures constant fleet supervision, enabling more efficient resource management and optimised operational control—empowering decision-makers with the insights needed to drive performance.
