The challenge

Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) carries fibre on overhead transmission infrastructure, combining an earth conductor with optical cores. The Ministry required construction, installation, testing and commissioning across National ICT Broadband Backbone routes — work that demands specialist crews, height access and strict safety control.

Our solution

KOTES mobilised specialist crews for OPGW stringing, splicing and termination along the assigned routes, followed by full optical testing and commissioning. Route records and test results were compiled into acceptance documentation for the Ministry.

Outcomes

  • OPGW fibre routes constructed, tested and commissioned on the national backbone
  • Specialist overhead installation delivered under strict safety control
  • Acceptance documentation and optical records delivered per route
