The size of the pits will obviously depend on the technique employed
and the size of service in question. When laying services up to
about 32mm in diameter the Launch and Receive pits can be as small
as 750mm x 150mm and be 20 meters apart. A quick sum will show
that you are looking at about 15 times less excavation than a trench!
(see Open-Cut vs Trenchless
Comparison).
