Underground costs more in equipment overhead, is still prone to damage from other excavation and takes a lot of extra work breaking through the frost line to either repair or continue installation into the winter.

Best thing I have found is pulling strand with a 4 wheeler or side by side across a quarter or half mile stretch. Or whatever is safe. Groundhand continually moves up one or two lineman with buckets while they frame the pole and attach clamps /strand and bond if need be. Roadside is best for this easement is different however

Attaching down guys as well. Once you get in a groove you knock spans out quickly and easily

⁠Exactly how we run our jobs. leads to us running 15 thousand feet some days

Easy because you don't know what you're doing sparky. Union lineman 😂

@@BulletSerenade ok buddy

Your right the typical Crew (depending on the location of the installation) can be run well with 3 people… 2 grunts and a lineman, hell you can even run two lineman- two trucks and one ground hand. All depends on the job

why do you think the neighborhood across the bridge and further on down my neighborhood had fiber but my little circle has yet to get it, it seems as if they have all skipped over us and for no good reason i’ve seen a couple alabama power company trucks come but that was abt a couple weeks ago still haven’t done anything yet tho any thoughts on that ?

Exactly

We install according to the customers design drawings and specifications.

Sorry, we are not in the entertainment business

@@MM-br6qh we built 1000 miles this year. The power company said it would take 3 years. They were very entertained

Same as a subcontractor we turned a 10 year project into4 years 15 guys

​@@MM-br6qhyou're not in the fiber building business either

So what’s the next step they have to do after feeding the cables underground

It all depends on your area. Cable can be in the air, underground, or both.

Depends on how many times the inspectors shut the job down for the day because a guy's boots came untied... in all seriousness, that's a question that just cant be answered very easily. Too many unknown factors. ex. Underground construct: Rocky ground slows a project wayyy down. I've seen 100' drill shots take days. Aerial: makeready (moving other cables up or down to make room, trimming trees..just to name a couple.

Companies use many factors to determine where they will build first. Demographics is a major one.. Do they feel that residents in that area will purchase the service. If 'no' then the area won't get fiber. For example: There was a project in WA that I was involved with on the planning stage, a predominantly low income mobile home park was skipped completely, while the rest of the area was planned to be serviced. sad but true. Other factors may include speed of build. Are the ground conditions easier to dig/drill in than others. Are there less attachments on the poles meaning less makeready is needed.@@iamnobodyy_

Did you miss the literal second half of the video?

@@iamnobodyy_ it depends on the company your getting your wifi from, back when I was working we would pull cables only on certain streets that had the most customers, however u could call your wifi and ask if they have fiber around your area, if they do’ They will send a splicer who can personally connect the fiber cables to your house. Also depends if you have power lines or Conduits around your area that are connected to a completely different Hub

Didn't expect to see another brother or sister of Yahuah on here lol praise Yahuah and his masiach Yahusha

You buggin

IBEW 191 brother.

Either, normally the c lasher is used on easements since it’s lighter for the climber to transfer on hooks.

Apollo is superior in nearly every way. No downpressure required for it to lash which means no strand lock , you can reverse the rotation if it gets jammed and has no external cavities to get caught going through trees.

@@jacobmarley2417 you're insane 😂

@@leezy7787 I am guessing you have never overlashed. That alone makes apollo superior equipment.

It depends what youre doing. The gmp J and c models are basically the same machine, one just having a larger cable capacity then the other. If youre always lashing fiber to bare strand, the C lasher is all you need. If you ever have to overlash fiber onto existing cables, especially larger bundles of cables - there will be instances the C wont physically fit onto them where the J would. The downside of those is the C and J lasher can overlash, but not that well compared to other models. The absolute most versatile lasher ive ever used is the GMP Apollo. It’ll do everything well, but its heavy compared to the C lasher. Where is really shines is through trees, and over lashing. The machine will even lash upside down, you can jump it over obstacles, and theres no brake on it like the C and J. All you need to do is pull it from any direction as long its moving forward. We lash using the trucks, not ground guys. The bucket can pull it from over, under, or on either side of the cables and it will work well. DCD seems to recently have released a new version lasher called the Falcon that looks interesting. To lash a 96 fiber to bare strand - ANY lasher will work, even that tiny lasher from GMP called the Sierra. Ive never used that one since its worthless for anything else, and it can only single lash as well.

rocsvt1 in this case it was the least costly alternative

MWC1951 I never thought it was possible to excavate a river like that. how deep did you guys put it this way? we just did a river crossing with hdd at kishwaukee river for fiber.
