Fiber Construction Process - 2019

Customers, friends, and family were asking what all this Fiber Optics discussion was, so we decided to capture some video to explain what we were doing! This fiber optic construction was taking place in Southeast Manitoba, about a half hour outside Winnipeg. This has been in collaboration with the many Rural Municipalities in the Southeast. This Fiber Optic construction is primarily to bring more capacity to our fixed wireless tower sites throughout the Southeast, but will grow in the future years to allow FTTH (Fiber to the Home) to those residing in Rural Manitoba!

Amazing how fast you can lay the conduit in open spaces.

[@danedavis5098]

Amazing. Love this. Well done Swift!

[@diojgon90]

Great video folks. Thank you for that.

[@zyxwvutsrqponmlkh]

I like where the cable comes pooping out the end.

[@johna3357]

Cool. I always wondered how this stuff was installed. We just got a few spools of that orange tubing sitting at the end of our road. Was wondering what it was exactly. I guess that means fiber!

[@BRENTONTHOMPSON]

That's quite the process

[@chansito33]

Good job guys from the caribbean

[@cvxcfv]

I should be sleeping. So satisfying to watch

[@PacketFPV]

Me too brother. I want to start a fiber isp so all my free time is now research on how to accomplish this massive undertaking.

[@rajacable70]

Good job like job

[@hellyea7866]

The locators in a couple years having to locate that line under that standing water : 👁️👄👁️

[@christopherjimenez9758]

Shouldn't have any problem locating it going to be in conduit and if light is traveling through that line it can be traced

[@DrewJacobson61]

WOW wow 😀😀😀😀😀!!!!!!

[@Ozzie4Para]

Anyone know what the average time frame is between the time when the initial underground conduit is buried until the fiber is available to the customers? One month? Three months? Longer?

[@sethallen779]

I’d say within a year or two. Could be sooner just really depends on the contractor, contract stipulations, workload and area/ ground conditions. I’ve been lucky enough to be apart of a crew that finished 4 small towns for mainline and fiber/drop placement to all houses in about 9 months time. I’ve seen companies take several years to finish out projects in smaller cities. A lot of factors to account for but hope this gives you an idea even if it is the slightest

[@SomeoneElseOverHere]

How much does one of those massive cable spools cost?

[@byrongrimsley500]

Well I looked at my conduit outside in the little hand hole and it looks like I'm awaiting my fiber to be spliced

[@FaMe1xInSaNe]

sketched me TF out when i saw the conduit bent and taped together to use as pull back.... why not use an innerduct puller and swivel? super soft terrain?

[@octavioalvarez9755]

Wow, amazing! What is the placement depth?

[@SwiftUnderground]

1.25m, 4.5', on average!

[@Rifaldi]

Wow amazing.. Building backbone with easy.. Btw iam a backbone engineer ca i work with this good company?

[@edwinkaris9602]

is that duct 40mm diamater?

[@florichi]

How for can you blow the fiber at a reasonably fast speed of at least 50m/min? We in Austria mostly blow 6-8mm cables in 14/10mm ducts at speeds of around 150m/min on the first 500m, 90m/min within 1km and after that around 40-50m/min. 1.8km is mostly the maximum we can achive in one go.

[@stevelibby6852]

Different terrain.

[@knowledgebaba579]

What is name of this vechicles ?

[@LeonardoCostaUSA]

We can see it's a hard work job but you guys(5 persons) did only 66 km in one year?

[@ratbones4061]

How much do these guys make a year? Is it 6 figures?

[@FaMe1xInSaNe]

Depends on position. here in california entry wage is around $20/hr, well experienced foreman will most likely be high 30s/hr. fiber splicing is usually the money maker 40+/hr

[@babooXX]

The music is the horror 🙈
