So with Gpon you could come between 2 trailers, use a 4 way splitter,
feed 2 things, then use 1 to go to the next splitter? I guess that
makes way more sense than a bunch of duct.

We trench between 15 and 30 feet per minute depending on the width and
depth of cut and depending on the type of blade and attachment.
Current speed records have all be set with my saw attachment on a
Vermeer RTX550 using my blades.
After the duct is in the trench, you fill the trench with grout/flow
fill/low strength concrete.
Most places require a cap of mastic on top of the concrete but the
concrete is good enough by itself for many applications.
You can use sprinkler boxes if there is no traffic on them.
Many of my customers get between 2000'-and 4000' each day. But that
is with a fairly large crew.
You go out ahead of time blocking off the road, doing core drill and
vacuum for each place you want to branch off a lateral connection.
Much easier, faster and cheaper than drilling. Plowing is always the
best if you can do it.

Subject: [AFMUG] Fiber and Microtrenching
The Boss and I are having an arug^H^H^H^H Discussion about installing
fiber in a campground (Mostly permanent Singlewide units). He thinks
that it would be too difficult to do. I contend that with
Microtrenching down the campground roads, this would be the perfect
deployment for Gpon Fiber.
Campsites are concrete pad Road to road, no dirt runs between multiple
trailers without lots of concrete cutting. So at most there would be 2
trailers fed off each duct drop from the asphalt road.
When you do microtrenching, do you just do a bunch of microduct, then
break off a microduct whenever you need it? There would probably be ~20
microducts that could run out of a central Handhole at the end of the
street, and feed both sides of the street for 40 trailers. 20 trailers
per side, 10 microduct drops per side 1 microduct feeding 2 trailers.
Is that too many for a microtrench?
There is an existing coax cable plant, installed in the early 80's that
is bandaided together to provide Docsis at about 10mb/5mb, with many
many outages. All utilities are private, unmarked, and sometimes near
the surface.
The microtrenching videos make it looks like you just advance down the
street at a few feet per minute, with a fixed road behind you. Is it
not that simple? I'm thinking the whole campground of 1500 spots could
be installed in a few weeks.
Anyone done campground deployments? Tree coverage makes RF not as
feasible. Downside of fiber is that there are a handful of clearQAM TV
Channel on the existing coax plant. That's much harder to do with fiber
without some sort of STB agreement.
