That is the minimum I will take to do the drilling. That is drilled hole with conduit pulled back. I can do as much drilling for that rate as I want but much of it is in a city with lotsa gas and waterlines to cross. I will take it all day long in the country.

Good plowing you can do 1-2 miles a day. Good drilling you can do 500’ a day or more. Good microtrenching you can do 2000’ a day. A good rate for plowing if I was paying would be $2.50/ foot or less. Drilling $13/foot or less. Microtrenching $10/foot or less. Ducted costs more for the duct but not much, then maybe 50 cents per foot to blow it in. But it is the only way to go in my opinion. Makes repairs easier, makes it easer to fight driveways and all the other things you will have to pass. If you direct bury, you will have to figure 8 the whole reel every time you want to go under a driveway, street or culvert etc. Conduit you just cut and couple. Then blow the fiber in in one shot of 3000’ plus.

I know conditions, soil types, all that have a factor to play, but where do you start to cringe on production? ducted fiber, direct bury, city and rural. What you contracted comfort zone per foot on each? how low per foot before you get suspicious, (as in some guy coming in telling you he can put in for you at 10 cents a foot in downtown chicago) Im looking for numbers excluding the material since that can vary more than soil type ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
