How To Build a $188M Submarine Cable System

Bevan Slattery writes “PIPE Networks has launched a blog and an online progress report on the construction of its $188M (AU$200M), 6,900-km submarine cable system connecting Sydney (Australia) to Piti (Guam). People can follow the many tasks required to construct a submarine cable and track the project’s progress. The daily blog provides unique insight into PPC-1’s construction, including for example the different types of cable installed in ‘benign’ and ‘aggressive’ seabed conditions.”
