Duct through limestone

Fiber-optic cable rides in HDPE duct or microduct; the duct is what the drill crew installs, and in Miami-Dade it goes through rock. Along an arterial the crew bores shots between hand holes with a rock bit, steering under side streets, driveways and canal culverts; at the building the last shot is the drop from the hand hole to the wall. Every duct is proofed with a mandrel and left with pull tape.

Who is building fiber here

Carriers extending fiber to the home from Aventura to Homestead; cable operators upgrading plant; wireless carriers backhauling towers and small cells along the expressways; the data centers and carrier hotels downtown and in Doral; the port and airport districts; condo and office campuses; and developers putting conduit in before the roads are paved.

Ground and crossings

Limestone and water, which the rock bit and the fluid plan handle; the expressways, Metrorail, the FEC and the canals, each with its own permit.

What the builder gets

Davis Underground Solutions, Inc. runs its own rigs, locators and vac truck, files Sunshine 811, pulls the crossing permits, sets hand holes and vaults to the design and proofs every duct. Florida work shows mobilization on the estimate. Davis Underground Solutions has photos of recent fiber builds. Estimates are free. Call now: (855) 520-2670.
