I'm not surprised and even if there is a map for where the cables are buried it's still a very delicate situationWhen they were doing the first phase of remodeling the Colonial Zone and digging up the streets. There was a section at Padre Billini and La Católica where the electric cables were under the ground for many years. They started digging. I told them to be careful of the electric cables. The so called engineer was so rude. He asked me where I got my engineering degree and he told me he knew what he was doing. Just as I turned to leave there was an explosion of sparks. The backhoe driver hit and broke the cables. I turned and bowed to the engineer smiling. We were 6 days without electricity while they repaired the cable.
When they bury the cables it seems like a great idea but they have not mapped where those cables lie and can't seem to find them afterwards. Also, I'm sure someone digging in the street to fix water or something won't call before digging to find out where the lines are buried.
Also, it would take away many tourist photo ops. Lol
As pointed out in the first video, this is easier said than done. In many locations in EU even much larger cables are being buried at the moment, and that hideously expensive and to do this properly you need to plan plan and again plan. The cost of the cable is often passed to the customers, so the rates will hike like you can't even imagine. In my opinion, the result in terms of having the cables outside or underground is definitely very beautiful scenery (without the cables) and excellent reliability of service, but that comes with the said cost.I am not sure where this is but what a example what DR should do the same:
Oxxo is in Mexico. They are everywhere over there. He also speaks with a Mexican accent (I’ll say Mexico City, but who knows.)I am not sure where this is but what a example what DR should do the same:
