sounds like you have never done this work before. you should try it then post you commet and we will see what you say. i bet it would be a little different No I've never done maintenance in a manhole. But I have done construction type work in winter so I know that the ground gets hard, water freezes, and things get frozen shut. I do also have decent critical thinking abilities so I can apply my limited knowledge to a more broader sense. Let me go over it slowly for you...
Q. Do other utilities use manholes, vaults, or other underground facilities? A. Yes.
Q. Do other utilities use said facilities in winter in locations that freeze? A. Yes.
Q. Have winters been around for more then a year or two? A. Yes.
Q. Do other utilities continue to install underground facilities, despite having to put up with freezing weather year after year? A. Yes.
I never said that winter maintenance wasn't an issue, or that winter weather wasn't a challenge. All I was saying is that other utilities seem to manage the problems, so can Comcast. But I welcome anyone else that wants to chime in betting me, challenging me, or just proclaiming that I have no fricking idea what I'm talking about. |
