The works involve the provision of approximately 75km of single 110mm diameter service duct as part of Hibernia Networks Transatlantic submarine cable system to provide a 100gbs internet connection between New York and London

The plan below details the initial stage on what intends to be a very extensive project.

The Works

The works will include all excavation of trenches, by open cut or directional drilling, reinstatement to match existing finishes to HAUC specification. The works also include the provision of transition manholes to serve as points for access for cable provision and future maintenance and the provision of the cables within the newly laid ducts

Due to the extent of the project the Construction period is TBC so do please return to see any updates.
