Glass fiber production via milling process accelerated in Saxony, Austria
Refreshed Article:
Slash the installation time for fiber optic cables with the stellar Layjet method, spearheaded by Sachsen Energie in Germany. Special machinery takes care of the task, milling a slender slit along the roadside. An empty pipe follows, swiftly replaced by the actual fiber optic cable, all without a hitch. Forget cumbersome road closures and excavations – Layjet's got you covered!
This technique finds its prime use on connecting roads without residential connections. In Rosenthal-Bielatal within the district of Saxon Switzerland/Osterzgebirge, preparations for fibre optic cable laying using this revolutionary method kick off. The machine from the brilliant Austrian company will lay a whopping 40 km of pipe in the region over the coming months. And the best part? Sachsen Energie intends to utilize this speedy method in other regions too, aiming to connect 200,000 rural households to the super-fast, fiber optic network by 2028!
Sandro Brosch, project leader for broadband at Sachsen Energie, can't hide his excitement, "Fiber optic is the future, man! With the Layjet method, it's the ideal blend of gentleness, speed, and cost-effectiveness for laying fiber optic cables in Saxony!"
The Enigma of Layjet
Got a craving for mind-blowing technology? The Layjet method, while unique, has roots in modern methods like microtrenching and jetting. In these techniques, the focus is on minimizing the disruption caused in roads during fiber optic cable installation.
Top Dogs of Minimized Discomfort
Microtrenching
Consider this: cut a tiny trench, say 1-2 inches wide and a few inches deep, on the road surface. Ta-da! That's the essence of microtrenching, enabling swift, non-invasive installation. Hallmarks of microtrenching are diminished road excavation, reduced installation time, and lesser traffic disruptions. The littlest of trenches? No biggie, it's easily fixed with minimal fuss.
Jetting
Meet jetting, a technique that uses high-pressure air or water jets to clear a path for the cable – a helping hand to microtrenching during the installation process. Jetting makes the laying process smoother, faster, and calls for fewer burdensome excavations.
Other Aces Up the Sleeve
Methods like directional drilling and trenchless technologies are additional options to keep road disturbances at a minimum. These techniques safeguard road surfaces by drilling under roads or using moling to fashion tunnels for cables.
The Arsenal of Advantages
- Minimal Excavation: A breeze to dodge the big, fat digging jobs!
- Faster Installation: Whoa, speed! Streamline the process for earlier road reopenings.
- Less Traffic Disruption: Jogging to work? Keep flowing with unhampered traffic.
- Environmental Benefits: Mother Nature breathes a sigh of relief – less soil disruption equals a happier planet!
Utilizing the Layjet method, which shares roots with modern techniques like microtrenching and jetting, offers an exceptional blend of speed, cost-effectiveness, and minimal disruption in roadwork for data-and-cloud-computing gadgets. During installation, microtrenching entails cutting a shallow trench, ensuring swift, non-invasive installation, while jetting, a companion technique, uses high-pressure air or water jets to facilitate the process further. Together, they promise less excavation, faster installation, reduced traffic disruptions, and environmental benefits by minimizing soil disruption.
