Ditch Witch/Utilicor Technologies Partnership Offers Simplified Utility-Repair Solutions
A new partnership makes Utilicor Technologies Inc.'s advanced keyhole
coring and reinstatement products available to contractors, municipalities
and utilities through the Ditch Witch global dealership network.
Rather than bringing heavy and physically demanding equipment like
jackhammers and backhoes for every utility maintenance project that
requires asphalt or concrete repairs, utility contractors can now operate
a nimble, construction-grade Ditch Witch mini skid steer fitted with the
new Utilicor MTC100 attachment to quickly and accurately cut up to an
18-inch-diameter hole and 22-inch depth.
"The new MTC100 coring attachment will complement our portfolio of
mini skid steers and vacuum excavation equipment for work under paved
surfaces," said Randy Rupp, Ditch Witch vice president of product strategy.
"It comes down to using smaller, more precise tools and a more localized
approach."
The result is less-disruptive, money-saving and faster repair. Today,
keyhole coring technologies are approximately 50 percent less costly than
traditional excavation repairs and disposal removal. Roads can be reopened
to traffic within 30 minutes of repair completion.
In addition to the MTC100, developed as Ditch Witch's first entry into the
coring market, Utilicor provides the leading reinstatement material Utilibond. Capable of supporting up to 50,000 pounds in just 30 minutes, this
specially engineered, pavement-bonding compound results in a permanent
repair that reduces public inconvenience, requires no additional paving
materials and is field-proven to be effective for more than 10 years.

"Utilicor is pleased to
partner with the industry-leading Ditch Witch
organization, allowing us
to expand the reach of our
coring and reinstatement
technology," said Marshall
Pollock, president and CEO
of Ontario, Canada, Utilicor.
"Both of our companies
have spent years developing customer confidence in
our brands, and we're fully
committed to providing
exceptional support and
service to our customers."
Ditch Witch, a Charles Machine Works Company based in Perry, OK,
designs, manufactures and markets the most complete line of directional
drills, drill pipe, HDD tooling, vacuum excavators, trenchers, chain, teeth
and sprockets, mini-skid steers and vibratory plows for the underground
utility construction industry.
