What kind of equipment do you use to install a drainage or sewer system in an existing road?

The use of a backhoe for installing a drainage or sewer system in an existing road is appropriate due to its versatility and capability to excavate and handle heavy materials. Backhoes are equipped with a digging bucket on one end, allowing operators to dig trenches necessary for laying pipes or drainage systems. The other end typically has a loader bucket, enabling the machine to move materials, backfill trenches, or clear debris.

In the context of existing roads, a backhoe can maneuver in tight spaces and is often used when conditions require digging to specific depths while minimizing disruption to the surrounding area or infrastructure. Its design allows for efficient digging and reaching under road surfaces to access the areas where drainage or sewer lines need to be installed, making it the best choice for this particular task.
