About
UK Research & Innovation awarded a contract to AMCo-Giffen for the installation of optical fibre cables to provide resilient connectivity to underground areas at the STFC Boulby lab, located within the Boulby mine operated by ICL-UK in North East England.
The work involved installing a secondary cable in the main mine shaft and two additional cables underground: one attached to the roof of the mine tunnel between the existing laboratory and the new site, and another in a floor channel between the two locations.
This setup creates a diverse network with built-in redundancy to maintain connectivity if one cable is damaged.
The contract value was £189,968.
