Scope of work

Remote Arctic routes are reached by air and by track. On the Mackenzie Valley Fiber Link, a helicopter delivers crew and materials to the alignment while a tracked carrier and trailer haul the optical cable reel across ground no wheeled equipment can cross.

Krull Telecom plans access, staging, and reel logistics for remote placement so cable is delivered to the pull location intact and on schedule, with splicing and testing handled by the same crews.
