In the spring/summer of 2017, Gabe’s placed 2-2” HDPE for 15,078’ via HDD & 13, 165’ via Plowing placed 22 30”x48”x36” handholes, placed, 16,084’ of fiber in new 2” HDPE placed 86,894’ of strand and 90,266’ of fiber lashing, splice and test. This work was to connect substations with fiber optic cable from Plymouth to the Fond Du Lac area. Gabe’s also performed value added engineering on the project.
Working along County Highways in Wisconsin can pose quite a challenge given the terrain in this area. There are lots of hills that give minimal visibility at times, so Gabe’s had to provide adequate traffic control to ensure proper warning was given to the public. When performing aerial work, there is a need to have the proper make ready performed prior to construction. That can be challenging as you are working with other entities and at times might be at the mercy of their schedule. With the proper project management and coordination, these challenges are reduced drastically.
