In the fast-paced world of network deployment and telecommunications infrastructure, reducing unnecessary groundwork is crucial for project efficiency, cost management, and environmental sustainability. Civil works, installing ducts comprises around 70% of costs of deploying a fibre network, therefore it is crucial everything is done to avoid digging.
At Telenco UK, we understand the challenges faced by field engineers and technicians, and we provide a range of high-quality products designed to help organisations avoid costly civil works. With the right tools and expertise, teams can minimise disruption, reduce operational costs, and expedite project timelines
The Importance of Civils Avoidance
"Civils" refers to the civil engineering activities involved in digging, trenching, and laying cables, ducts, and other essential infrastructure for telecom networks. While these activities are often necessary, they can be costly, time-consuming, and disruptive to surrounding areas. By adopting civils avoidance techniques, network providers and engineers can reduce or eliminate the need for such intensive work, leading to faster and more cost-effective installations.
Key benefits of civil avoidance include:
Cost Savings: Reducing unnecessary groundwork minimises labour and equipment costs.
Efficiency: Faster installations mean less downtime and quicker project completion.
Environmental Impact: Less excavation means less disruption to the environment.
Public Convenience : Minimising roadworks and trenching reduces inconvenience for residents and businesses.
To support civil avoidance, Telenco UK offers innovative tools that empower engineers to inspect, measure, and locate network components accurately without the need for invasive groundworks.
Telenco UK Products for Civil Avoidance
1. Duct Inspection Camera
When laying underground cables, identifying existing duct pathways is vital for civils avoidance. The Duct Inspection Camera from Telenco UK provides a visual solution for exploring underground ducts without excavation. This camera allows engineers to inspect the condition and path of ducts, identify blockages, and ensure that ducts are clear for cable installation.
By pinpointing problems in ducts before trenching begins, the Duct Inspection Camera reduces the need for disruptive digging, enabling network installation teams to plan more effectively. Its portability, ease of use, and high-quality video output make it an indispensable tool for field engineers.
2. vScan Cable Locator
Avoiding accidental damage to existing utilities is a critical aspect of civil avoidance. The vScan Cable Locator is designed to locate underground cables and pipes quickly and accurately. This advanced detection tool helps engineers detect both active and passive utilities, reducing the risk of accidentally hitting or severing crucial cables during excavation.
The vScan provides both visual and audible alerts, allowing users to precisely locate cables and avoid unnecessary civil engineering work. It simplifies utility detection, ensuring that engineers can confidently install new networks while safeguarding existing infrastructure..
3. TED Measuring Wheel
Accurate distance measurement is essential when planning network installations, and the TED Measuring Wheel from Telenco UK provides a simple yet reliable solution. Whether laying out cable routes or ensuring correct distances between infrastructure points, this lightweight and durable measuring wheel is perfect for field use.
By enabling precise distance measurements without the need for complex surveying equipment, the TED Measuring Wheel contributes to efficient civil avoidance. Its ergonomic design and ease of use make it ideal for on-site operations, allowing engineers to map routes accurately and avoid unnecessary groundwork.
Telenco UK remains committed to providing innovative tools and products that support these goals. By offering the Duct Inspection Camera, vScan Cable Locator, and TED Measuring Wheel, we are helping engineers across the UK and beyond adopt best practices in civil avoidance.
Effective network deployment is about more than just speed; it's about doing the job right, with minimal disruption, cost, and environmental impact. Telenco UK's range of civil avoidance tools—including the Duct Inspection Camera, vScan, and TED Measuring Wheel—enables engineers to complete their work efficiently, while safeguarding existing infrastructure and avoiding unnecessary civil engineering work.
By investing in these tools, businesses can streamline their network deployment processes, ensuring faster, safer, and more cost-effective installations. For more information on Telenco UK’s products and how they can help with civil avoidance, visit www.telenco.uk.
