Started a water service today. Had to digg down to the main. They said it was only 4.5ft in the ground turned out to be 7. , didn't bring a trench box but lucky the ground is hard good virgin clay. Got the directional bore machine coming in the mooring to bore the service under the street

I wholeheartedly agree when I first started operating I thought they were great but I too find them a pain in the rear it's much nicer to have something that can be detached easily with a minimum of labour and time.
