Active Cable Protection
The operating fiber-optic or network cable is protected while the rigid innerduct is gripped and pulled into a compact vault machine by opposing drive wheels. The live cable is never touched.
Trenchless. No-Dig. Zero Service Interruption.
CSRS removes rigid innerduct from around active fiber-optic and network cables — cut apart and pulled out without trenching, boring, or taking your network offline. The cables stay live. The space comes back.
The Process
Rigid innerduct is cut apart as it is pulled from the conduit — the active cable never leaves service.
The operating fiber-optic or network cable is protected while the rigid innerduct is gripped and pulled into a compact vault machine by opposing drive wheels. The live cable is never touched.
The innerduct is sliced, fed it into a chipper, and then the material is recycled.
With the bulky rigid innerduct gone, incumbent cables settle to the bottom of the conduit — recovering up to 90% of the space and making room for up to 9 additional cables, textile innerducts like MaxCell, or HDPE innerduct.

Proven Since 2014
CSRS has been removing rigid innerduct from live conduits since 2014. Across more than 100 cities — municipal networks, utilities, and military installations — the process has recovered millions of feet of conduit space without trenching and without service disruption.
The Payoff
Every dig you skip is cost, time, and risk you never take on.
