I spent all last summer in Chicago doing the ties ins for gas lines behind on of those. A lot quicker than trenching. They only have two man crews on the actual drill. An operator sits on the drill and a laborer walks in front with a locator box directing him which way to manipulate the drill.
There would be a separate crew going ahead of the drill opening up tie in pits and also exposing existing utilities so they weren't drilled into.
