According to the company, the house inspections have already started and now the machines and the general contractor MIH GmbH, commissioned by Deutsche Glasfaser, are in the starting blocks.
From October 12, the first construction machines will be rolling in to expand the fiber optic network in Bleckenstedt, Engelstedt, Salder, Sauingen and Üfingen. In the first step, the empty conduits will be successively laid in the streets. As soon as the empty conduits have been laid, the optical fibers will be blown in.
In this way, a fiber optic network will be built in Bleckenstedt, Engelstedt, Salder, Sauingen and Üfingen, covering a total of around 58 kilometers. Deutsche Glasfaser would like to point out that it is sometimes necessary to temporarily close open areas of asphalt or paving (e.g. with paving stones) as part of the civil engineering work, as these may have to be taken up again. These areas will only be finally compacted, closed and accepted by the city once the construction work has been completed.
At the start of construction, up to 8 crews with approx. 5 workers each will be on the road in the town as planned. Before the start of construction work in a street, Deutsche Glasfaser will inform residents of the date as early as possible by placing information in their letterboxes.
Close cooperation with the city
The construction processes are carried out in close cooperation between the city administration and construction management. The city inspects and documents each expansion area in advance. Once the work has been completed, all public surfaces (roads, sidewalks) are inspected by the city. Proper restoration of the surfaces by the appointed general contractor is obligatory. If there is a need for repairs, the site management will take care of this immediately.
Personal contacts on site
The staff at the Deutsche Glasfaser construction office in Salzgitter, Museumstraße 69, are available for all questions and suggestions regarding construction and contractual issues. The construction office is open on Fridays from 10:00 - 12:00 and 12:30 - 16:00.
