Instead of you to ask when will the scam called Nigeria end

HospitalityDiva:
It makes sense. Construct tunnels. Lease it to companies. Then they will pay the government rent. The IGR will be better for it.

senchris:
But if handled professionally both in terms of maintenance, this is actually the future. This is the present means of transmitting electricity and other stuff in developed countries. You only see large metal poles along the highways, not wooden and concrete poles that are littered everywhere along the streets as in Nigeria/Africa.

tactius:
Option B would be to build huge underground sewers and run the wires there....which would cost money and be even more exepsive.

dondada78:
Make una calm down! This is an industry I work in. LASIMRA used to have oversight function but they are now weak and Ibile is in charge. During Joe Igbokwe's time, LASIMRA was extremely profitable and worked very well but things are no longer the same. We are even tired of the wahala and harassment trenching brings and have evolved to a brand new method. Only reason you can see this now is cos of Airtel who is deploying massively now.

If you don't know, then don't talk!

This is how it's done everywhere.

When I have the time, I will show you when I see one in Washington DC today.

Lisaint:




In my areas,
The pipes that are buried underground has globacom logo and name on them

AutoReportNG:


Is there not a law or rule on where to dig/dredge? Most times you see a newly constructed road being damage by these folks, are there compensation for this and if yes, why didn't the govt fix the road ASAP?

I only get to know about LASIMRA last year and they are not effective IMO, Ibile Holdings seem to have hijack their work cos they are in charge of Oshodi Terminus and so major Lagos owned construction

gnykelly:

Thanks for the explanation... The HDPE cable being laid currently is that all they need to install or another cable will pass through the hole

dondada78:


Another cable which is the fibre cable is later passed through the HDPE ducts. The HDPE ducts serves as the last protection barrier for the xables

Meanwhile, ladies, to overcome and prevent toilet infections, see my signature. Guys, to overcome weak erections, also see my signature.

IMASTEX:

Seconded, your head dey there.
There are countless of opportunities for government to generate income without needing to depend on crude. What you stated is impossible with the continuous parasitic set of people leading the country from time immemorial. Even to channel drinking water to houses is a problem.

kbenks:
[ digging to bury cable is not the best practice. In a well planned society, ducts are made for use everywhere. You want to run your cable to a location then you use the access ducts that are in place. There is another practice for inter-city, it's called OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) An optical ground wire (also known as an OPGW or, in the IEEE standard, an optical fiber composite overhead ground wire) is a type of cable that is used in overhead power lines. Such cable combines the functions of grounding and communications. An OPGW cable contains a tubular structure with one or more optical fibers in it, surrounded by layers of steel and aluminum wire. The OPGW cable is run between the tops of high-voltage electricity pylons. The conductive part of the cable serves to bond adjacent towers to earth ground, and shields the high-voltage conductors from lightning strikes. The optical fibers within the cable can be used for high-speed transmission of data, either for the electrical utility's own purposes of protection and control of the transmission line, for the utility's own voice and data communication, or may be leased or sold to third parties to serve as a high-speed fiber interconnection between cities. Instead of digging from Lagos to Sokoto like we do, OPGW can be leased from TCN and used for means of communication delivery. But here, The TCN cable were given to Dangote Telecom and Phase3 Telecom own by the minister for communication under Obasanjo. We still have a long way to go. I see people breaking the road on the name of laying Fiber optic cable when they can loom into transboring below the surface of the road. Lack of Infrastructure is still a major problem in our dear own country.

Theory talk only!!!! Do you work in this industry at all?


[1]uote author=sassysure post=78982396]What do u mean @op?

Burying cables underground is the safest means employed world over for power connection or any thing that has to do with wire.
Thumbs up!!!!
Gosh!

I used to love your topics.

dondada78:


Yeah that's true. Glo is also expanding her network. I don't do jobs for them cos na heavy gbese and wahala them be.
