• Additional Comments

• How many houses are aerially fed?

• Take photo(s) clearly showing the property has existing aerial connection

  Media

• Check all aerial infrastructure is available. Is there any aerial network required? Are there any underground connections in this ROW to consider? Is it being fed from across the road? Do we need a RAT or RAT tail?

• Check movement of existing copper cables. Are the pits clear of debris? Will there be any replacement, blockages or SH&E requirements etc. to consider?

• Explain why? Have you considered the lowest impacting route? Are the transitions between surfaces possible, can the bending radius be maintained etc.

• Explain why? Are there any surface mount options available? Why were they not used? Are the transitions between surfaces possible, can the bending radius be maintained etc.

• Explain why? Are there any surface mount or soft surface options available? Why were they not used? Have you considered the lowest impacting route? Are the transitions between surfaces and changes in direction possible, can the bending radius be maintained etc?

• Explain why you are not able to utilise any other option? Ensure any pilot, entry/exit holes are considered, planned and identified clearly. Have all other utility lay lines been identified for the proposed route?

• Explain why you are not able to utilise any other option. Ensure the entire route has been identified clearly. Have all other utility lay lines been identified for the proposed route?

• Explain why you are not able to utilise any other option. Ensure the entire route has been identified clearly. Have all other utility lay lines been identified for the proposed route?

• Take photo(s) of drop off clearly showing number of tubes & location relative to ROW landmarks.

  Media

• Takes photos as required for possible drop off options, provide frontage & reinstatement measurements to consider new drop off lateral.

  Media

• Step by step description of build. Format x-y, activity, distance, infrastructure; e.g. 1-2, T in grass 5m, 3xR Key: H -haul; SM – Surface mount; MT - microtrench; T - trench; LL - lift & lay; R - ruggedized; D - duct; FF - Fixed Fibre; G – Grass; GD – Garden; CS – Cobbles; S – Seal; C - concrete

• Extensive outside boundary work required? (e.g creation of new drop off, extending existing drop off, extending pole to boundary network)

  Yes

  No

• Explain Why? (e.g Extending the drop off from current location to communal driveway as no duct are available from current drop off to houses. Trenching for 10m in grass is required.
