CASE STUDY
In 2003, when Department of Education network solutions provider Uecomm needed a reliable and skilled company to deliver a turnkey fibre network solution on time, on budget and to exacting requirements, it turned to ABB.
ABB delivered on promise, successfully completing the design, procurement, construction and handover of a new fibre network that provides high speed data transmissions to more than 250 schools in New South Wales.
As part of the Department of Education and Training project, which included the installation of some 16,000 metres of fibre optic cabling in high traffic areas throughout the Sydney metropolitan area, over 1000 fibre connections and joints were made in the existing network whilst it was in ‘live’ mode.
Since the project required some major civil excavations both adjacent to and within school grounds, a major challenge faced by ABB was ensuring the safety of those in the area during the course of construction.
To keep the school children, teachers, members of the public and the ABB workforce totally safe at all times, ABB developed a purpose-built safety management program that did what it set out to achieve; the project recorded 100,000 man hours with no instances of either medical treatments or lost time injuries.
Drawing on its skill and experience, ABB helped Uecomm deliver a high quality and reliable installation ahead of schedule, on budget, and with minimal impact on existing network customers.
