My local Internet provider is in the process of installing fibre optic sourced internet to all its customers.
I am watching them from my home office and am intrigued as to how they install the cable underground with minimum disturbance?
i.e. NO trenches.
A series of ~ 4ft deep holes are created in each property every so many 600 - 1000 ft, using high pressure water and the soil is sucked out of the pit into a specialized storage truck.
Then the cable or pipe is fed underground and ends up in each distant hole, one of the team follows the underground progress with a metal detector, they hit the next hole dead-on.
What process is used to install these underground with such accuracy?
