Work Continues at High Murber Farm in Cumbria

Over the past few weeks, work has been continuing at High Murber Farm, the 1st of many core nodes in Cumbria, in preparation for the immanent connection to fibre optic cabling. This will allow service to be delivered to the Eden Valley as well as Leith Lyvennet and other areas.

We started with work on the opposite side of the road to the farm and laid ducting over 3 fields in order to get to the nearest fibre optic chamber.

Trencher makes light work of the task once again...	The farming approach to unravelling ducting.
Ready for backfill...	Richard digs a hole for one our our chambers.

At this point we had to cross the road to connect two of our chambers. Tony and his team from TS Trenching handled this directional drilling under the road which saved digging it up and the disruption that goes with it.

8am: Team arrive ready for work.	8:15am: Graham digs at either side of the road.
9am: Directional drill goes in...	9:30am: ...Directional drill pops out.

All ducting is now in place ready for pulling the fibre cable through the duct and connection into the national trunk fibre cable over the next few weeks ready to serve the area with super fast broadband...
