haveblue posted:Alarm nothing, the truck should not be capable of driving unless the boom is in stowed position Is that a common thing? If it is, I bet they got annoyed when they had to stow it just to move the truck slightly while working and disabled it. The police took the license from the driver, but if the company is at fault beyond that I hope they get what they deserve.

Ola posted:Yep, and just behind the camera is a school. Thankfully school hasn't started yet from summer and there was nobody on it. He did take out some fiber optic cables as well so a few thousand people are offline, so the driver is obviously at serious risk of lynching. Its my understanding that taking out fiber optic cables is holy poo poo expensive. I know some site work companies that have accidentally cut large fiber lines and they were charged an enormous amount per hour until it was completely repaired. I wonder what will cost more, the pedestrian bridge or the fiber optic cables

I have a surveyor friend who told me about a guy running an excavator who accidentally dug up a main fiber-optic trunk line between Ottawa and Montreal. It was something like a half-million dollar base fine plus another $50,000 for every hour it was out of service. The operator apparently shut off the excavator, put the keys on the seat, and left the job site, never to be seen again.

Around here, there are fiber optic cables that aren't on any maps. (Or at least, not on maps the guys building the roads are allowed to see.) EDIT: I don't know that for certain, but I do recall a story where a work crew hit a line, then double and triple checked their maps to make sure they weren't just missing something. While they were sorting that out, some black Suburbans rolled up and men basically saying "did you happen to hit a fiber optic line? Yeah... we'll take it from here, go away please."

Demolition at the military base I work at accidentally cut the fiber line across the runway, killing internet and networking (and the ATC phone lines) to half the base. They got it spliced pretty quickly. Then they it severed a second time the week after

evil_bunnY posted:100% the fiber if the service providers get their teeth into the trucking company GPS can work, but the problem is often the fibre is laid into the ground, then the area changes, e.g. the curb is moved, or a building front is changed, and no-one really checks it, because "Hey, the plan said it was 2.5 metres from the curb, that's over there, we are fine to use this hole saw to plant some trees". The solution now is banning everything except non-destructive digging around fibre paths - high pressure water, air or both. Of course, this tends to be pretty drat loud, so queue lots of residential complaints The trouble with fibre hits is it is almost always the plans are given to someone who subcontracts the work to someone else, who subcontracts the work to someone else. The information isn't passed on, and if there is a hit the sub-sub-contractor declares bankruptcy, and they have no assets to seize. They fold up, return all their rented equipment, form a new company and start again. Fibre splicing teams can make good money. The major telco in Sydney - Telstra - used to run 8 daytime install teams, with 1 team available for late night repair works. I've spoken with those guys during callout works and they say they can pull in 40-50 hours of overtime in a good week.

Near where I live the fibre installers hit the fibre duct right next to the man hole with the giant yellow sign that said "fibre here". I spoke with the unimpressed bloke sitting in the back of his van splicing the entire bundle back together again. EDIT: the location of the fibre line they hit is on the ITU's website so it's not exactly a secret. Plus the big yellow signs kinda make it obvious. https://www.itu.int/itu-d/tnd-map-public/ Serjeant Snubbin fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Aug 12, 2021 |

They got it spliced pretty quickly. Wildfires on the mountain next to my base melted the lines that connect the radios at squadron duty desks to the antennas on the mountain peak. I'm genuinely impressed at how well those containers are holding together while tipped over like that. I would have guessed they were secured in place somehow to keep them from shifting around in rough seas, but not to the degree of being able to support hanging sideways like that.

That moving company that cut down all those trees is continuing to run into issues because they didn't actually measure anything.

Of course, this tends to be pretty drat loud, so queue lots of residential complaints I work for a fairly large commercial GC and that's part of our policy for any ground disturbance work. Before even starting, we require the subcontractor perform multiple ground penetrating radar scans. Every underground utility needs to be identified and marked. Any digging within 5' of a marked utility has to be done by "non-destructive means." Which can either be hand digging or pneumatic or hydro excavation. As with all policy changes, this was because of people doing dumb poo poo. In this case, a subcontractor for us hit the same loving gas line in downtown DC, 3 loving times, in a week.

I mean what are the odds that they didn’t measure the road signs as well as the trees? That’s dangerous and foolish, and no one would do something like that.

I do geotechnical and environmental drilling so I deal with utility locates pretty much daily. One would think that 'call before you dig' would not be so difficult to get across to people but so many of these companies are operating on such slim to non-existent profit margins for these jobs that they will still try to get us to come out to jobs where 'its in a big field, there are no utilities out there don't worry about it. We'll take responsibility for any strikes if we do hit something we just need this job done tomorrow. ' Like bitch that call before you dig poo poo is fuckin free! gently caress off with that poo poo!
