as someone who got fiber to house, I want to say thank you and your colleges who do this work. I myself work as a propane driver in SD, I try my best to have some ice cold ice tea in bottles with me in the truck, We have plenty of contractors in the middle of nowhere working their rear ends off, so I stop and give them some Ice tea to cool down on sunny days. Again thank you for making our lifes better with better communications.
I wonder why these conduit installations don’t require the largest conduit to be installed at the time? The need for additional fiber will ALWAYS be needed in the future. I foresee the need for additional horizontal boring in the near future for growth in this area.
No room for future proofing. Whoever designed this put in small handholes, no extra conduits and small fiber cables. Never mind, what happens to the tracer wire overtime when you use indoor cable like that. Great work on your part.
Very interesting to see you intercept a current fiber . The trace wire that gets used as a tracer will need to be secured back with a new wir and then a second trace to the previous Good to see the final of a fiber / tube pull to completion
Fiber optic is being installed where I live , Saugerties NY. Ive been using Verizon 5G until the final instal. Optimum keeps on raising prices and the service stinks so can't wait until it's finished.
Wouldn't it be easier to get a small battery-powered winch to pull the fiber? You do this every day so it seems odd not to have a better process than pulling by hand.
Do you guys have a way to overblow a second cable down those conduits? In the UK we've been doing that for years on what we would call subduct rather than conduit which is usually always inside a main duct line.
So,can someone explain why the US is so hesistant to use 14-18mm Microducts with 288-576f cables? If they just laid a 7x14mm duct rather than 2 single ones this whole thing would have been a lot easier.
The government pays for most of these projects to be done. Yes, it’s through companies like AT&T, Verizon and other things, but it all comes from the government, also a lot of cities and counties have certain rules like the county I live in if you’re placing down the street you must pull back a minimum of 4 2in ducts, no matter what you’re putting in you must have those 4. 2 inch ducks for future expansion
@@bentheguru4986 no room for future works? I am not talking about a single 14mm microduct but a bunched together liner of 7 tubes. Here in Austria 99% of the fiber is laid in microducts. And trenches are laid with 30-40% expension margin. So on a new project only 3-4 ducts of a 7x14mm are used, the rest is reserve
Crazy that you’re allowed to dig without a spotter. I’m in the utility business, but I put in gas lines for gas companies. You cannot dig nothing without another man there to spot.
That mule tape explosion was amazinf
That was great it reminded me of party streamers
for anyone wondering, 16:00
it was hilarious! 🤯

it's fascinating having insight into how all of what we take for granted works! love the videos. subbed!
I would like to see a revisit to each vault when the pull was finished at the end, just to see and understand what it looks like after installation.
good job
good luck

@@BartlettTFD , capacity of existing fiber is advancing as well, with new tech such as DWDM, etc.

Great work on your part.
They installed two conduits end-to-end and only used 1. The fiber they installed is 48-core, so plenty of capacity on there as well.
I like your fiber puller awesome I always just use track on minne wrap it around same way
Pressurised hydraulic hoses, bang male tip on a clean, hard surface while wearing gloves and glasses. It will pop the end-seal enough to release.

That tape eruption was amazing. Wonder if that’s ever happened to you like that.
Stellar work! Is Part 8 going to be Wes and Dane winding all of the mule tape back on the spools?

Good video. First time watching. I know its just me but that single overhand knot joining the 2 pieces of tape made me nervous.

The load being pulled can be very high and need large surface areas to grip the cable gentley.
@@bentheguru4986 No
is there a central city/counter database that you need to tell where you installed the wiring?
LOVE IT! Thanks for this !! Liked and sub'd. too!
Do you guys have a way to overblow a second cable down those conduits? In the UK we've been doing that for years on what we would call subduct rather than conduit which is usually always inside a main duct line.
So how do you terminate the cable? Connectorize the fiber ends, or splice on pre-terminated pigtails?
*LifeAsWeKnowIt* What internet speed will be provisioned for this school? And how much does an installation job like this cost?
Is that your customers vault, pipe/ fiber? or another providers plant? I didnt hear you say who's it was.
What’s the diameter of that wheel?
Gesundheit :)

Skinny pipe/tubes allows no room for future works. They are cheap and easy time, useless if you need to pull in anything later.

@@florichi You are refering to air-tube. One big outer, multiple inner tubes that you blow strands up.

Don’t you have a wheel on a hand truck that’s battery operated? If not you should look into one.

why 48 cores for a school?
