I believe it's going to be all in one cabinet

That's interesting, what makes you say that? Is is because there is no existing PCP, or are there clues in the roadworks.org entries?

Yeah the info sort of gives that impression, also where there isn't already a PCP Cabinet.

Location: (PCP5) OPPOSITE HILLSIDE COTTAGE , TOWN STREET
Description: Install 1m of 4 poly ducts in Verge
Description: Provide 1 Cabinet and base (NGA cabinets)

Location: (PCP5) OPPOSITE HILLSIDE COTTAGE , TOWN STREET
Description: Install 2 of 1 way power duct in Verge
Description: Performing an 1excavation to expose existing power cable in Verge

As you can see it mentions PCP5 as the location and also there is mention of power, the last time I checked PCP Cabinets don't require power, however Fibre Cabinets do.

What's also strange is there is no mention of a DSLAM Cabinet (Fibre Cabinet) so this also might point to an AIO Cabinet.

But this is all guess work.

Makes sense.

It'll be interesting to see where they get the power from too. I'm not sure what the "existing power cable" is, all the electricity supplies in the area are T-T overhead cables on poles.

The pole is a power pole going by roadworks.

I take that back its not a power pole LOL
But there will be power there due to where do the homes get it from, plus isn't that a power station there near it LOL.

Looks like there's already a power cable in the verge where the cabinet is being placed.
They often use the feed from street lighting, perhaps that's the case here.

The houses are all on overhead electricity lines, and as far as I know there's nothing in that verge apart from water, drains and telephone cables. There are no houses on that side of the road, only fields, and the electricity supplies come from a line which runs behind the houses on the other side of the road.

Anyway, they seem to think there is something down there, I guess it's not impossible. Can't imagine where it goes to though.

I'm not sure the cabinet will work long on 132kV from the power station LOL

Good thinking, but all the street light are on the other side of the road. There's nothing on that side, only the phone poles.

TBH I cannot see them using the power from the street lights, the reason being they are on circuit breakers in case water gets in etc.

But don't quote me on it.

The streetlight supply wouldn't be on that side of the road anyway.

I hope there's something there to connect to when they dig the hole!

One would hope so yes.

Just check between dates: 13 Mar - 26 Mar

Yes, a two week slot.

I'll be having have a stroll past with the dog when they start digging holes, see if there's any scratching of heads.
