Locating & Potholing: Essential Steps for OSP Fiber Construction
While not immediately obvious to the general public, many types of construction involve an underground aspect. General building construction (both residential and commercial/industrial) involves leveling and sometimes excavating earth to create foundations and basements. Even road construction generally requires civil construction to level road beds and reduce uneven ground. Utility construction has the highest exposure…

Phases of Fiber Construction in Colorado: Building Modern Networks
This article covers the six phases of the fiber optic construction process that is used to build OSP communications networks. While the article focuses on OSP construction and repair in Colorado, the process is broadly applicable globally (though other locales may have differences). Fiber OSP networks power our communications networks through long haul, middle…
