Underground Fiber Construction
When fiber needs to go underground, we self-perform every placement method — matching the right technique to the soil, the route and the schedule. Explore our underground construction methods below.
The right placement method for every route.
Plowing
→Vibratory plowing places conduit and fiber in a single continuous pass — fast, low-disturbance installation in open ground.
Directional Boring
→Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) installs fiber under roads, rivers and obstacles with no open trench.
Trenching
→Open-cut trenching for reliable, accessible conduit placement where conditions allow.
Micro-Trenching
→Narrow, shallow saw-cut placement that speeds fiber into paved and urban corridors with minimal footprint.
Rock Boring & Rock Wheel
→Purpose-built equipment to place fiber through solid rock and the hardest ground conditions.
Underground placement for the most demanding capital builds.
BEAD-funded routes, utility CAPEX expansions and data center campus connections frequently demand underground fiber — across every soil and surface. We self-perform every placement method, matching technique to terrain so capital programs of any scale stay on budget.
