Yep, the Ealng Today Forum really does work! The backhoe is off the pavement on Popes Lane from where it was last night, however, a Murphy van GN57 URH is parked on the white-zi-zag approach lines to the pelican crossing (this is still a prosecutable criminal offence and not a road traffic offence) however over than that the site is dead at 3.00pm. Dumped junction boxes with wind-ripped packaging are dumped at one side of the compound. Each of six cables extends several meters out of the junction hole and none starts at less than four metres (some at five from the beginning of where it should). That is six time three or at least eighteen metres of cable paid-for but not deliverrd. Say 120 lengths of the cable in this public project so we are looking at at least 360m of missing cable if this runs to course. The hole at Little Ealing Lane shows similar deficiences in the cable lengths judging by the metre markings on the cables. On top of that the tails coming out of the hole are around six to ten metres long so thats another 40 to 50 metres of wasted cable owning to sub-optimal placement of junction bays (why?). This could lead to say 120 by six or 720 metres of wasted cable. So its not going to happen with every junctio hole (as this had now been noted and SSE Murphy will have to accurately measure the internal distances in the duct runs. So lets halve that to 350 metres wasted and 320 not delivered and we are looking at 670 meteres of incredibly expensive cable wasted or not delivered. Is this a criminal situation as it is a public project?
Let us hope that common sense will prevail and the backhoe on Popes Lane will stay on the road tonight and not on the new pavement.
Meanwhile, to avoid further waste of public money could someone measure the ducts and place the junction bays where the cable ends and not waste hundreds of metres of cable?
On further inspection in daylight the core of this cable is aluminium, though stranded (made up of multiple smaller strands of metal about 0.5cm in diameter). the screening is copper and very lightweight so there is plenty of apportunity for large magnetic fields to permeate its: I have been unable to spot any steel armouring or shielding which would block magentic (EM) radiating from the cable as copper does not stop magnetic fields so anyone with a metal gaspipe coming into their house (or school) could be in for a very interesting and toxic time with currents induced in the steel and iron gas, water and other mains.
I have been unable to identify exact composition of the cable, however, I am hopeful that further research will reveal its nature and characteristics and what we can expect when it is switched on.
