Fiber Network

We deployed fiber new two new neighborhoods during the month of August. Champion Village and Zion Meadows accounted for over 6,000 feet of fiber placed as well as many new terminals for customer connections. These two neighborhoods have capacity for an additional 109 homes in Sandy.

We also completed several new construction jobs to add SFR homes to the existing network. Due to the amount of projects on the team’s plate these service requests are beginning to pile up again but we are working hard to keep everything moving and keep customers happy.

Bluff Road Utility Move

This project took an unexpected turn and ended up being a lot more complicated and involved than I had hoped. We had NorthSky out to do the work but due to some unforeseen conditions under the ground we were forced to modify our plan to re-route the cables in this area and ended up having to cut, replace, and resplice a little over 3,000 feet of cable. I am very proud of the work the SandyNet team put in on this project. They day of the cut was a very long night and then another 12 hour day following that to ensure that all customer services were restored and all of our cables, conduits, and vaults were relocated correctly and out of the way for the contractors working on the road widening.

Urban Renewal District

No significant progress was made on UR fiber during the month of August due to the demands of other projects. This will be a major focus for the next few months so stay tuned for updates on getting business customers installed.
