Kungu-7am ngosuku lwasebusika olupholile, nelibalele emaphandleni ase-Koniko County, futhi izisebenzi sezivele zisebenza kanzima.
Ama-trenchers e-Vermeer aphuzi ngokukhanyayo abebenyezela elangeni lasekuseni, kancane kancane enqamula ubumba olubomvu eduze kwentambo kagesi yase-Alabama ngaphandle kwe-Evergreen.Amapayipi e-polyethylene awugqinsi angu-1¼-intshi amane anombala, enziwe nge-thermoplastic eqinile eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, emnyama, eluhlaza, newolintshi, kanye nomugqa wetheyiphu eyisixwayiso ewolintshi abekwe ngobunono njengoba ehamba endaweni ethambile.Amashubhu ageleza kahle esuka ezigubhu ezine ezinkulu - eyodwa ngombala ngamunye.I-spool ngayinye ingabamba amafidi angama-5,000 noma cishe imayela lepayipi.
Ngemva kwesikhashana, umgodi walandela umsele, evala ipayipi ngomhlaba futhi ehambisa ibhakede emuva naphambili.Ithimba lochwepheshe, elihlanganisa osonkontileka abakhethekile kanye nabaphathi bamandla kagesi e-Alabama, lengamela inqubo, liqinisekisa ukulawulwa kwekhwalithi nokuphepha.
Emizuzwini embalwa kamuva, kwalandela elinye ithimba ngeloli elifakwe izinto ezikhethekile.Ilungu leqembu lihamba emseleni ogcwele iqolo, lisakaza ngokucophelela imbewu yendawo yotshani.Lalandelwa iloli elalifakwe isiphephetha-moya elalifutha utshani embewini.Utshani bubamba imbewu endaweni kuze kube yilapho iqhuma, ibuyisela ilungelo lendlela esimweni sayo sangaphambi kokwakhiwa.
Cishe amakhilomitha angu-10 ukuya entshonalanga, emaphethelweni epulazi, elinye ithimba lisebenza ngaphansi kwentambo yamandla efanayo, kodwa ngomsebenzi ohluke ngokuphelele.Lapha ipayipi lalizodlula echibini lepulazi elingamahektha angu-30 cishe ngamamitha angu-40 ukujula.Lokhu kucishe kube ngamafidi angu-35 ukujula kunomsele ombiwe futhi wagcwaliswa eduze kwase-Evergreen.
Kuleli qophelo, ithimba likhiphe i-rig eqondisayo ebukeka sengathi iphuma ku-movie ye-steampunk.I-drill ineshalofu lapho kukhona "i-chuck" yensimbi esindayo ebamba ingxenye yepayipi lokubhoboza.Umshini ucindezela ngendlela ethile izinduku ezizungezayo emhlabathini ngayinye ngayinye, udale umhubhe wamafidi angu-1,200 lapho ipayipi lizohamba khona.Uma umhubhe sewumbiwe, induku iyasuswa bese ipayipi lidonswa liwele echibini ukuze likwazi ukuxhuma amamayela epayipi kakade ngaphansi kwezintambo zikagesi ngemuva kwerig.emkhathizwe.
Amamayela amahlanu ukuya entshonalanga, onqenqemeni lwenkundla yommbila, Ithimba Lesithathu lasebenzisa igeja elikhethekile elixhunywe ngemuva kukagandaganda ukuze lifake amapayipi engeziwe entanjeni efanayo kagesi.Nansi inqubo esheshayo, enenhlabathi ethambile, egayiwe kanye neleveli eyenza kube lula ukuya phambili.Igeja lanyakaza ngokushesha, lavula umsele omncane futhi labeka ipayipi, futhi abasebenzi bagcwalisa ngokushesha imishini esindayo.
Lokhu kuyingxenye yephrojekthi ye-Alabama Power enezifiso yokubeka ubuchwepheshe be-fiber optic obungaphansi komhlaba eduze kwezintambo zokudlulisa zenkampani - iphrojekthi ethembisa izinzuzo eziningi hhayi kumakhasimende enkampani kagesi kuphela, kodwa nasemiphakathini lapho ifayibha ifakwe khona.
"Kuwumgogodla wezokuxhumana wawo wonke umuntu," kusho uDavid Skoglund, owengamele iphrojekthi eningizimu ye-Alabama ebandakanya ukulandwa kwezintambo entshonalanga ye-Evergreen edlula eMonroeville eya eJackson.Lapho, iphrojekthi ijikela eningizimu futhi izogcina ixhumene nemboni ye-Alabama Power's Barry eSifundazweni Saseselula.Uhlelo luqala ngoSepthemba 2021 ngokugijima sekukonke okungamamayela ayi-120.
Uma amapayipi esenziwe futhi agqitshwe ngokuphephile, abasebenzi bagijima intambo ye-fiber optic yangempela kwelinye lamapayipi amane.Ngobuchwepheshe, ikhebula "lishaywa" ngepayipi elinomoya ocindezelwe kanye neparashute encane exhunywe ngaphambili komugqa.Esimweni sezulu esihle, abasebenzi bangabeka amamayela angu-5 ekhebula.
Amapayipi amathathu asele azohlala emahhala okwamanje, kodwa izintambo zingangezwa ngokushesha uma kudingeka umthamo owengeziwe wefayibha.Ukufaka iziteshi manje kuyindlela ephumelela kakhulu futhi engabizi kakhulu yokulungiselela ikusasa lapho udinga ukushintshanisa amanani amakhulu edatha ngokushesha.
Abaholi bemibuso baya ngokuya begxila ekwandiseni i-broadband kuwo wonke umbuso, ikakhulukazi emiphakathini yasemakhaya.UGov. Kay Ivey ubize iseshini ekhethekile yesishayamthetho sase-Alabama kuleli sonto lapho abenzi bomthetho kulindeleke ukuthi basebenzise ingxenye yezimali zobhubhane lwenhlangano ukuze kwandiswe i-broadband.
Inethiwekhi ye-fiber optic ye-Alabama Power izozuzisa inkampani nomphakathi e-Alabama NewsCenter kuVimeo.
Ukunwetshwa kwamanje nokushintshwa kwenethiwekhi ye-fiber optic ye-Alabama Power kwaqala ngeminyaka yawo-1980 futhi kuthuthukisa ukwethembeka nokuqina kwenethiwekhi ngezindlela eziningi.Lobu buchwepheshe buletha amakhono okuxhumana asezingeni eliphezulu kunethiwekhi, okuvumela iziteshi ezincane ukuxhumana zodwa.Lesi sici sivumela izinkampani ukuthi zenze kusebenze izinhlelo zokuvikela ezithuthukile ezinciphisa inani lamakhasimende athintwa ukunqamuka nobude besikhathi sokucisha.Lezi zintambo ezifanayo zihlinzeka ngomgogodla wokuxhumana onokwethenjelwa futhi ovikelekile wezikhungo zamandla zase-Alabama ezifana namahhovisi, izikhungo zokulawula kanye nezitshalo zamandla kuyo yonke indawo yesevisi.
Amandla wefayibha yomkhawulokudonsa ophezulu athuthukisa ukuphepha kwamasayithi akude kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe obufana nevidiyo enencazelo ephezulu.Iphinde ivumele izinkampani ukuthi zandise izinhlelo zokulungisa imishini yesiteshi esincane ngokusekelwe esimeni—okunye futhi ngokwethembeka nokuqina kwesistimu.
Ngobambiswano, le ngqalasizinda yefayibha ethuthukisiwe ingasebenza njengomgogodla wezokuxhumana othuthukile emiphakathini, inikeze i-fiber bandwidth edingekayo kwezinye izinsizakalo, njengokufinyelela ku-inthanethi ngesivinini esikhulu, ezindaweni zombuso lapho i-fiber ingatholakali khona.
Ngenani elikhulayo lemiphakathi, i-Alabama Power isebenzisana nabahlinzeki bendawo kanye namadlelandawonye kagesi asemaphandleni ukusiza ukusebenzisa i-broadband enesivinini esiphezulu nezinsizakalo ze-inthanethi ezibalulekile ekuthuthukisweni kwebhizinisi nomnotho, imfundo, ukuphepha komphakathi kanye nempilo, kanye nekhwalithi yamandla..ukuphila.
“Sijabulile ngamathuba lolu xhaxha lwefayibha olungawanikeza izakhamuzi zasemaphandleni kanye nezakhamuzi eziningi zasemadolobheni,” kusho u-George Stegal, iMenenja Yeqembu lase-Alabama Power Connectivity.
Eqinisweni, cishe ihora ukusuka ku-Interstate 65, edolobheni laseMontgomery, elinye ithimba libeka imicu njengengxenye ye-loop enesivinini esikhulu eyakhiwayo ezungeze inhloko-dolobha.Njengemiphakathi eminingi yasemaphandleni, i-fiber optic loop izohlinzeka ngemisebenzi Yamandla e-Alabama nengqalasizinda yokuxhumana okunesivinini esikhulu nokuhlaziya idatha, kanye nokuxhumana okungenzeka kwakusasa kwe-broadband esifundeni.
Emphakathini wasemadolobheni njenge-Montgomery, ukufaka i-fiber optics kuza nezinye izinselelo.Isibonelo, i-fiber kwezinye izindawo kufanele ihanjiswe emigwaqweni emincane yamalungelo endlela kanye negcwele abantu abaningi.Kunemigwaqo eminingi nezitimela okufanele ziwele.Ukwengeza, kufanele kuqikelelwe kakhulu uma kufakwa eduze nezinye izingqalasizinda ezingaphansi komhlaba, kusukela entanjeni yendle, emanzini kanye negesi kuya ezintanjeni zikagesi ezikhona ezingaphansi komhlaba, izintambo zocingo kanye nezintambo.Kwenye indawo, le ndawo idala izinselele ezengeziwe: ezingxenyeni ezisentshonalanga nasempumalanga ye-Alabama, isibonelo, imihosha ejulile namagquma aphakeme asho imigudu embiwayo efika kumamitha angu-100 ukujula.
Kodwa-ke, ukufakwa kusifundazwe kuqhubekela phambili kancane kancane, okwenza isithembiso sase-Alabama senethiwekhi yezokuxhumana esheshayo, eqinile kakhudlwana ibe ngokoqobo.
“Ngijabule ngokuba yingxenye yale phrojekthi nokusiza ekuhlinzekeni ukuxhumana ngesivinini esiphezulu kule miphakathi,” kusho uSkoglund ngesikhathi ebuka ipayipi elinqamula amasimu ommbila angenalutho entshonalanga ye-Evergreen.Umsebenzi lapha ubalwa ukuze ungaphazamisi ukuvuna ekwindla noma ukutshala kwentwasahlobo.
"Lokhu kubalulekile kulawa madolobhana amancane nakubantu abahlala lapha," kwengeza uSkoglund.“Lokhu kubalulekile ezweni.Ngiyajabula ukudlala indima encane ekwenzeni lokhu kwenzeke.”
