Case Study

Telecommunications Case Study No. 4

Rearrangement and relocation works

Client: Vocus Fibre

Project Location: Bourke and Gardeners Rds, Alexandria

Project Duration: 12 months

PROJECT OVERVIEW

R.O.C. Communications successfully tendered on the relocation and rearrangement of Vocus’ Fibre network to make way for Westconnex road widening, to include new infrastructure, hauling, and splicing.

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

This project consisted of upgrading and altering existing network infrastructure as well as hauling new high density Fibre cabling in readiness for services to be migrated from the existing cabling.

The existing network required extensive auditing prior to live works, while the service migration was co-ordinated over 20 nights, utilising 6 Fibre technicians.

CHALLENGES WITH THE PROJECT

There were a number of challenging obstacles to overcome on this project, notably, the accuracy of the records for the existing network, the physical network did not correspond with the client’s records, hindering the planning of the migration. As well, the sheer amount of work to achieve during the night works, in restricted timeframes and windows, as to not delay Westconnex with their road widening.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

A huge congratulations to the entire team for their enthusiasm and professionalism, in ensuring that, even under the toughest circumstances, the target must be met.
