What the buyer is looking for
Construction and partial renovation of approximately 130 kilometres of fibre optic infrastructure for the Maas objects of Rijkswaterstaat Zuid-Nederland. The aim is to connect all operable objects within the MB2.0 renewal task redundantly to the existing Rijkswaterstaat fiber optic network, so that central control from the Maasbracht control centre is possible. The work includes determining final routes, carrying out investigations, obtaining permits and the actual construction and connection of the fibre optic connections. See procurement guidance
