We encountered some unexpected problems because the fiber path for which the municipality gave permission to dig was projected in polluted ground. As a consequence the fiber supplier was not allowed to dig in the ground without supervision of the environmental agency. This would probably take more time and therefore we decided not to dig in the polluted ground, but lay the fiber under it. Still we have to drill in the polluted ground, which means that we might pollute the clean ground as well. Anyway, we decided to start the fiber installation as fast as possible before we get new challenges, therefore tomorrow the first meters will be installed in the ground. I expect that we will need 2 weeks for the digging and drilling activities, afterwards we can test and measure the fiber.
