Mia Direct Moves Forward with LightSpeed Networks Full Fibre Build

Mia Direct is continuing to make progress on its latest full fibre network build for LightSpeed Networks across Polesworth and Grendon, with teams now actively supporting delivery across the project.

Following Mia’s appointment to the programme, work is moving forward through a coordinated combination of surveying, civils, cabling, fibre installation, splicing and testing, alongside specialist traffic management support from Mia Traffic Management.

The project provides another strong example of Mia’s ability to bring multiple infrastructure disciplines together under one coordinated delivery model.

From Planning to Delivery

Successful fibre infrastructure begins long before the final connection is made.

Every network build requires detailed planning, accurate surveying, safe access to existing infrastructure and careful coordination between teams working across different stages of the programme.

As delivery progresses across Polesworth and Grendon, Mia’s teams are supporting the project from the ground up, helping move individual sections of the network through the different stages required to create reliable full fibre infrastructure.

This includes civil engineering activities, network preparation, cabling and fibre works, through to the specialist splicing, testing and commissioning activities required later in the build.

A Full Turnkey Approach

One of Mia’s key strengths is the ability to manage multiple elements of infrastructure delivery through a single integrated team.

Rather than treating surveying, civils, fibre and traffic management as separate activities, our approach is designed around coordinating each workstream as part of the wider programme.

This helps reduce unnecessary interfaces between suppliers, simplifies communication and gives clients greater visibility and control throughout delivery.

For the LightSpeed Networks project, this means bringing together the capabilities of Mia Direct and Mia Traffic Management to support works safely and efficiently as the network develops.

Working Safely in Local Communities

Infrastructure projects frequently take place within live residential environments, meaning safe working practices and consideration for the surrounding community remain central to delivery.

Mia Traffic Management supports our operational teams with the planning and implementation of appropriate traffic and pedestrian management measures, helping maintain safe access around work areas while allowing infrastructure activities to continue.

Our teams also work within clearly controlled sites, using the appropriate equipment, barriers and working procedures required for each stage of the project.

It is this combination of planning, operational delivery and site control that allows projects to continue progressing safely while minimising disruption wherever possible.

Building Infrastructure for the Future

Full fibre infrastructure continues to play an important role in supporting the connectivity requirements of homes, businesses and communities.

Behind every completed connection is a considerable amount of work on the ground.

Surveys need to be completed. Existing networks need to be understood. Ducts and chambers may need to be accessed or constructed. Fibre needs to be installed, spliced and tested. Traffic and pedestrian movements need to be managed safely throughout.

Bringing these disciplines together is where Mia’s integrated model adds value.

The LightSpeed Networks build across Polesworth and Grendon demonstrates how our teams can support a network programme across multiple stages of delivery while maintaining a consistent focus on safety, quality and coordination.

Moving Forward

We are proud of the progress being made across the project and of the teams from Mia Direct and Mia Traffic Management supporting its delivery.

As work continues, we look forward to seeing further sections of the network progress and to continuing our relationship with LightSpeed Networks.

For Mia, projects like this are about more than installing infrastructure.

They demonstrate what can be achieved when experienced teams, specialist capabilities and coordinated delivery come together around a single objective:

building infrastructure that keeps communities connected.
