3 Introduction The opportunity for FIA members to increase their revenue by offering to undertake or manage the civils element of an optical fibre span has already been recognised and discussed. The actual cost of the civils or duct infrastructure is typically over 80% of the installation cost. The challenges, however, in delivering civils and external cabling are far reaching and it is imperative that you understand and meet the legal requirements. These guides will help you understand the requirements and avoid problems.
