Re: [AFMUG] Fiber deployment relative cost
Boring does not work so well in rock. For that you need a rock saw. If it is loose rock and soil, then plowing would be the best way to go. The drill vendors all do demos of drilling through solid rock, but that is not reality. Vermeer makes some really good rock saw/trencher products. Aerial has the recurring cost too, so that must be factored in.

Did you drive the path to take a look at the poles' age or capacity load? Know anyone at the utility who could give you hints?

[AFMUG] Fiber deployment relative cost
Need a quick relative cost of underground versus aerial deployment in a foothills area where there is a lot of granite so will need a high percentage of boring. Would aerial cost likely be 50% of underground? 40%. 30%??? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
