AxisTech Completes Major Fibre Optic Installation Project for Western Canada Public Transportation

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Aug. 30, 2024 - PRLog -- AxisTech is proud to announce the successful completion of a landmark fibre optic installation project for the public transportation system in Western Canada. This comprehensive project, spanning 40 kilometers, has been instrumental in enhancing the data communications infrastructure crucial to the SkyTrain system.

Scope of Work:

- Armoured Ribbon Fibre Cables: Supplied and installed 20 kilometers of 576-strand armoured fibre cable and 20 kilometers of 144-strand armoured fibre cable.

- Electrical Substations: Deployed 12 strands of armoured fibre across 10 electrical substations.

- Fibre Optic Splices & Terminations: Executed over 10,000 fibre optic splices and terminations.

- Operational Constraints: Conducted work during limited access hours from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM to minimize disruption to SkyTrain operations.

- Detailed Documentation: Provided comprehensive project documentation to ensure clarity and support for future maintenance.

Project Description:

AxisTech's involvement in the FOSU project required extensive coordination and technical expertise. The project involved a detailed splice schedule, integrating new splices into existing cables and ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations. Working closely with the client's consultant, AxisTech proposed user-friendly termination hardware, enhancing long-term maintenance accessibility.

The project faced additional challenges due to the restricted working hours along the guideway, which were carefully managed to align with the SkyTrain's maintenance schedule. Despite these constraints, AxisTech's team successfully completed the installation on time and to the highest standards.

Key Highlights:

- Armoured Ribbon Fibre Installation: Installation of 40 kilometers of armoured ribbon fibre cables along the SkyTrain guideway and at each station, ensuring robust and reliable data transmission.

- Specialized Services: AxisTech's scope also included grounding, bounding, PLC communications, networking, and program logistic control, all crucial for the project's success.

- Point-to-Point Services: Managed point-to-point connections at two dozen locations, demonstrating AxisTech's capability in handling complex industrial environments.
