A comprehensive 
broadband supply is to be realised in the municipalities of Großolbersdorf and Drebach. This requires the construction of a fibre optic network. Our company was awarded the contract for the Drebach district. The entire measure is being financed by the federal government's funding programme, which is also being financed by funds from the Free State of Saxony.

Construction work for our company began on 1 March 2022 and is expected to last until the middle of 
2024. The gross contract value amounts to 8,271 million euros.

The main focus of the work will be on laying empty conduits and micro-ducts. Micro ducts will then also be pulled into the empty conduits, into which the fibre optic cable will be blown.

Our company will carry out approx. 32 km of trench construction using the open trench method. 

This involves opening up paved surfaces, laying the pipes and then closing the trenches and restoring the 
wide variety of surfaces, including paved, asphalt and grass surfaces.

Pipes are also laid using cable ploughs or by using earth rockets. Earth rockets are used, for example, for house connections, of which we are responsible for laying around 664.

The laying of the empty conduits and microducts covers a length of approx. 57 km. The pulling in of the microducts and the blowing in of the fibre optic cable will be carried out by a subcontractor commissioned by us.

The special feature of the contract area is the many water crossings that have to be overcome.

As an additional service for this construction project, we were commissioned by Mitnetz GmbH 
to also lay their supply lines in certain areas.
