CV’s Fibre & Communications team recently delivered a project which has brought fibre optics to a number of schools across South East Queensland. With a fibre optic connection, the schools can now benefit from high speed and reliable internet which is critical for education today relying heavily on digital technology. This capability enables teachers to have access to the latest tools and technologies, providing their students with more learning opportunities and a first-rate education.

The CV team delivered the complete installation of new fibre optic infrastructure required to provide connection for the schools. The project involved hauling the fibre from pit to pit until the comms room within each school could be reached.

The team was required to survey the site, validate a path for the fibre to be hauled and complete any necessary civil works to repair any blockages or obstructions to the conduit allowing for a clear pathway to the schools.

Once hauled by the team, the new fibre could then be spliced with the existing fibre by stripping the existing fibre ribbon into individual strands to splice to the new fibre.

Critically, CV’s skilled fibre splicers ensured each school’s connection was maintained throughout project which was particularly important during the NAPLAN testing period.

Our team was proud to work on delivering this much needed capability for our schools and our next generation.
