Microtrenching is another technique used for underground installation of cable and/or conduit, generally on roadways or on private property for fibre to the home connections in urban environments. Microtrenching involves digging a narrow and shallow trench about 25-50 mm(1-2 inch) wide and 200-250 mm(8-10 inches) deep using a special cutting tool.

CONT

L'essor des réseaux de télécommunication à l'échelle mondiale implique une forte hausse des installations de fibre optique haut débit à usage commercial et domestique. Les entreprises de déploiement de fibre optique ont tendance à privilégier une pose enterrée afin de minimiser les risques des dommages dus aux intempéries. Le micro-tranchage est donc une solution idéale pour les zones urbaines congestionnées.

OBS

tranchage : Creusement de tranchées à l'aide d'une trancheuse.

CONT

One of the first things an installation contractor will do when evaluating an existing residence or new home site is check the pressure of the city water supply(if there is one), as this is the default option to supply a fire sprinkler system. This may simply involve placing a pressure gauge on a hose outlet and turning it on. If the water main doesn’t deliver sufficient pressure..., the contractor will have to look at alternate options, whether that involves adding a pump to boost the pressure of the city water or using an elevated tank, a pressure tank, or a standard tank with a pump.

OBS

elevated tank: designation officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).
