Laying Depth of Optical Fiber: Tps Damaged, Excavator, Tpsa, Proper Depth, Map Accuracy & Placement

Hello and I am asking for the advice of my esteemed colleagues.
I have a real problem. While clearing the stone that remained after the paving stone was laid, a neighbor with an excavator damaged the Tps optical fiber (there are even two next to each other, only one was damaged). The neighbor was not digging but scooping the stone. I immediately notified tpsa, the assemblers came, repaired and ordered to sign a protocol in which it was written that I was responsible for the damage. I have not signed. The gentlemen informed that in that case the case was referred to the police because it was damage to property of considerable value.
My questions to colleagues are as follows:
1. How deep should the optical fiber be buried (for me it is about 10-15 cm of the warning tape placed on the optical fiber)?
2. The optical fiber is drawn on the map, but the difference is some 1.5m (can it be so)?
3. There are warning posts, but on which side should the fiber-optic cable be placed in front of the post (in the road lane) or behind the post (on my plot)?
4. What may be the cost of such a repair?

1. How deep should the optical fiber be buried (for me it is about 10-15 cm of the warning tape placed on the optical fiber)?

15 cm is definitely not correct. It should be min. 60-70cm.

2. The optical fiber is drawn on the map, but the difference is some 1.5m (can it be so)?

It can't.

Thank you for the quick reply.
What to do now:
Wait for some call, invoice and then fight for yours?
Should you go to the owner of the optical fiber (tps), present documentation (photos, maps) and fight for yours?

If it is as you described it, I would make a detailed photo documentation in your place, look for witnesses who will confirm it and wait for the police to show up.
If, on the other hand, it was not exactly as you describe, you will have to pay for it and it's not a little money.

Photo documentation was made by a service technician.
Mainly, I mean how deep this fiber should be because the service technician repaired it and left it at the depth it was, i.e. 10-15cm, and if it is to be deeper, they should probably rework it.

We put the optical fiber - we bury it on 1m and the HDPE casing pipe, at least for me it is required and this is what the TPSA standard says, look on the Internet on this subject, there should be a warning tape (50cm) in the middle of the depth. I remember the adventures of one of the contractors who had to translate 3km.
There may be a problem as the ground was collected and was at the above-mentioned depth - shallow when laying the ankle and this is the most common and then there is the so-called "stupid" fucking hi
How correctly it is located (the route) should be in the survey as it was inventoried. Report to the construction supervision that it does not lie at the appropriate depth. And as it lies on your plot, you should have agreed to its location, unless you bought the property with the inventory burden hi.

Thank you buddy dipole, that's what I'll do.
ps.
I wouldn't have figured it out myself, and it's so simple and logical, that's what forums are for.

In my area, the fiber goes at 1.2 meters the shallowest. The Caterpilar excavator had the sting fully recessed and the supervisor (scared) said it was too shallow ) Greetings !

Regardless of this, there is also a contractual fee for lending the area - and if not, then the fiber optic cable should be led out of the plot. Of course, at the expense of the cable owner.
trenching the depth of the cable foundation. Check if there is a warning tape -yellow-PVC-. If there is no, the less you are not responsible for the damage.

Only that if you bought a plot with optical fiber, it is already "swept" because the existing state is valid and if the company insists, you can transfer this optical fiber at your own expense. Unless the court decides otherwise, in any case it is a difficult matter and will take a while. Greetings ! )

The correct depth of underground installations, i.e. sewage system for telecommunications infrastructure, should be at least 70 cm (building regulations). A few months ago, during the work on the road reconstruction, the excavator "pulled out" 4 optical fibers belonging to the company I work for, and because the TP sewage system was at a depth of 35cm (directly under the concrete pavement of the road) - the company performing the works could not be held responsible for the damage. enclosed is an excerpt of TPSA standards in the field of sewerage construction.

There is no existing condition - faulty performance does not release from liability.
Just make it known and the courts will have their hands full of redundant work. Supervisor
he will improve after hours for his money.
After all, telecommunications takes money, relatively huge - for the maintenance of the network. Maintenance begins with the acceptance of the construction site ...
