Siksika Nation selects Cross Cut Directional Boring for fiber optic rollout
(UI) — Siksika Nation in Alberta, Canada, is set to begin installing new fiber optic infrastructure to improve high-speed internet access.
Cross Cut Directional Boring LTD has been selected as the contractor for the project, which includes building a backbone network and installing residential service cables in various neighborhoods.
Construction is expected to start in about two weeks, with work hours from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting. The community should anticipate temporary lane closures during the installation process, which will utilize horizontal directional drilling and vibratory plowing.
