For more than three decades, TocDem Attachments & Utilities has been known for its strength in demolition attachments, providing contractors with robust tools that deliver reliability and precision on every site. Yet, beyond demolition, TocDem is also playing a major role in another critical sector: utilities.
Across the United Kingdom, there is a nationwide focus on upgrading gas, water, electric and telecom infrastructure. As these projects expand, the demand for versatile, efficient and compact attachments has grown sharply. Contractors are now relying on the same level of engineering excellence that TocDem brings to demolition to tackle complex trenchless works, reinstatement jobs and utility maintenance.
This article explores how TocDem’s attachments and specialist tools are helping drive this modern utility revolution.
The UK’s underground network is under constant renewal. From ageing gas mains to fibre optic installations, utility contractors face tight deadlines, confined spaces and strict safety regulations. Unlike open demolition projects, most utility works are carried out in live environments where precision, speed and control are critical.
Several factors are shaping this transformation:
TocDem’s growing range of attachments and detection equipment has been developed precisely for these challenges.
Modern utility projects need attachments that are not only powerful but also compact, safe and easy to maintain. Traditional demolition attachments have been re-engineered for this purpose, maintaining strength while improving control and mobility.
Key improvements driving this evolution include:
TocDem’s in-house expertise and partnership with Radiodetection position the brand as a trusted supplier across both demolition and utilities.
