The American Public Works Association is running a webinar on microtrenching on Thursday August 25th 4am Eastern Standard Time! Yes 4am so you may need to be keen. The webinar is scheduled for 11am on Wednesday 24th Agusut Pacific Time in USA and Canada (GMT -7hrs) which translates to 4am Melbourne Time (17 hours ahead). Here’s a bit about the webinar:
“To meet the ever-growing demand for bandwidth-consuming Internet applications, network service providers are rapidly deploying state-of-the-art fiber networks. Answering the call, utility installers are considering new and cost-effective installation options like microtrenching.
Microtrenching is an installation method in which a narrow (.75 to 2.25-inch) and relatively shallow trench (8 to 16 inches) is cut, typically on one side of a roadway. Then a vacuum system connected to the cutter wheel attachment diverts and transports the dry and dusty spoil away from the worksite. Once the conduit pipe is laid, the trench is backfilled with a grout compound. An asphalt sealer may then be used to finish the cut flush with the surface. It’s all completed in one quick and efficient pass.
This webinar will provide an overview of the microtrenching process and equipment, as well as present a case study in how the system has been used on fiber projects in the Southwest.”
