Building Fiber in The Neighborhoods
Step 1 Utility Locates
Utility locates will be scheduled for the area, after which existing utilities will be flagged. It is imperative that you do not remove these flags for any reason—we will remove them upon completion.
Additionally, please notify us of any private utilities, such as invisible dog fences, gas lines, or similar installations.
Step 2 Expose Utilities
The Night Owl crew will excavate the right-of-way (ROW) or utility easement to expose existing utilities at planned crossing points, preventing any potential damage.
Step 3 Innerduct & Handholes
After all utilities have been exposed Night Owl will bore in the orange innerduct and place handholes and pedestals.
Step 4 Fiber
Now that all the innerduct and handholes are in place we can pull or blow fiber through the innerduct. The fiber is kept as one piece and can be as long as 20,000ft.
Step 5 Splicing
The final step in neighborhood fiber construction is splicing the fiber optic cables. This activates the new network, enabling the "Fiber Installation to Your Property" process to begin.
