Fibre cable ducting

Hi, I am currently doing some work at a clients property and he has received a letter to say he will be having fibre installed soon. He has asked for us to put a duct in from the bt cover on the road to his property while we have the garden dug up.
I was just wondering what the spec is for the ducting and if it needs to be a certain size/ colour and depth.

You would need to ask Openreach. This is a BT retail forum. If his current service is underground, Openreach will use the existing duct to provide the fibre.
