Traditional trenching vs Micro trenching

[Alkine]

I'm not too familiar with each method, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Do you guys know of any good sources that I can read up on?

There is a lot of info in this thread, that can help you with your knowledge

I'm looking for reading material, youtube videos are often too promotional. They are great for showing how something works, but I'd like a side by side comparison / analysis of the two if there exists such a thing.

I'm thinking of things in line with (but with more detail and analysis):

We investigated the TeraSpan method, got into pretty serious talks with them. Had all the installation demonstrations and product demos. I can put you into contact with the local rep if you want. It's some seriously cool stuff, very neat and makes for a beautiful deployment. Very clever kit. At the end it was just too expensive, and made competing against traditional methods at local labour rates impractical.

This one is more like it, but it is looking from a commerical perspective only:

This one has an interesting graph near the end, however it seems a little bit incoherent and lacks detail:
