3.1.4 Fibre optics The proposal is to install a new RailCorp Network Access Point (NAP) in the existing pit at TE12+541 and run two new 12 core single mode optical fibres (SMOF) to this location. The two new 12 core SMOF will run in a new trench for approximately 50 metres towards to existing pit at TE12+485. The pair of fibres will continue the existing pit pipe route towards existing pit at TE12+541 where a new joint is also installed. At the new NAP, it will be spliced with the RailCorp bearer network. Approximately 2 x 110 metres of 12 cores SMOF will be required. 3.1.5 Earthing The earthing installation will comprise six earth stakes at a pre-determined distance apart. The grid will be nominally 4.0 metres x 2.0 metres, placing the six earth stakes two metres apart. Once these earth stakes have been installed, the system will be tested and modified if needed. The initial extent of the trenching for earthing grid will be around 20 metres. However, it can be extended up to five metres if the results show that the earthing arrangement is insufficient. 3.2 Construction Methodology Construction of the BTS facility will require the use of approximately 60 square metres of land. This area will allow for the erection of the monopole and the slab containing the BTS and power cabinets. The area of ground disturbance at the BTS site is likely to be in the vicinity of five square metres. The monopole foundation will require an excavation approximately five metres deep with a diameter of one metre. This will result in approximately five cubic metres of excavated material which may include rock. Installation of the power and fibre optic cables will require excavation of trenches approximately 1000 millimetres maximum depth and 500 millimetres wide. The indicative construction methodology of the facility will include elements outlined below. Non-destructive excavation before construction to establish underground installations. Site establishment. Excavation of the foundation for the monopole using excavator, drills or auger. Delivery and pouring of concrete on site for the monopole foundation. Installation of concrete slab brought to site for BTS and power cabinets. Excavation of trenches for power and fibre optic cables. Installation of conduit within trenches, followed by installation of cables within conduits. Backfilling of trenches. Transport and installation of monopole sections using trucks and riggers.

Assembly of monopole and attachment of antenna mounts and cables before erection of the pole using the built in hinge joint. Connection of power and fibre optic cables to the transformer and communications pit, respectively. Installation of earth grid using drills, shovels or excavator and connection of the radio facility to the electrical supply and optical fibre communications cable. Installation and commissioning of radio equipment, batteries, antennas, cables and other equipment. Materials used for construction and installation include concrete, gravel, steel plinth, steel mounts, antennas, batteries, cables and radio equipment. It is not envisaged that any chemicals or hazardous materials will be used during construction. The majority of material brought to the site will remain there once installed. Any excess material will be removed and disposed of, reused or recycled. Any excess concrete will be removed. All excavated material not required for backfilling will be stockpiled, removed from site and disposed of at a licensed facility or used elsewhere on the site. The following equipment will potentially be used during construction. Pile borer Hiab truck 10T Trencher (chain digger) Excavators Bobcat Vacuum excavator (Sucker Truck) Wacker packer Earth rod drill Concrete delivery truck Delivery truck VLC (semi-trailer) 1.5 tonne come-a-long 17 metre sling Assorted slings and shackles Assorted large spanners and hand tools Hydraulic pack and ram Portable generator (with RCD) Page 25 of 78
