Surely using a mole machine would be cheaper and quicker because there is less trenching and back filling. You would only have to dig holes at set intervals and on bends in the road where f/w would be needed anyway. Its only really modern developments (last 15-20 years) where the roads are all bendy.

I have seen the one which the gas board use because when I was an electrician. We found a gas leak and we got them out and it was interesting because the house had solid floors downstairs and they managed to negotiate it round everything and come up in exactly the right place in the house.
