OSP 001 PRACTICE TEST | 100% Correct
Answers | Verified | Latest 2024 Version
in areas where future excavation is anticipated, it may be advisable to place the cable at a greater depth.
For example, if road grading that will remove 610 mm (24 in) of dirt is planned in a particular area, it
would be wiser to initially place the cable at 1.2 m (4 ft) versus the standard
610 mm (24 in). - ✔✔True
