Directional drill boring at a roadside intersection
●Capability 2.0

Fiber & telecommunications

Underground conduit for broadband, carrier, and wireless backhaul builds, bored in so the route goes in clean.

Overview

Most fiber routes cross something that can't be trenched.

Fiber networks are going underground fast, and nearly every route crosses a road, a driveway, or a waterway along the way.

Sosebee places conduit for fiber-to-the-home builds, middle-mile routes, and long-haul runs, using directional drilling to get under roads, driveways, and waterways without tearing them up.

We work for broadband providers, carriers, and the prime contractors who build for them. Crews arrive with their own equipment, work to the route prints, and leave the right-of-way restored.

Scope

Fiber conduit, start to finish.

Conduit work for every stage of a fiber network, from the backbone to the home.

FAQ

Common questions.

Who do you work for on fiber projects?

Broadband providers, carriers, and the prime contractors who build fiber and wireless backhaul networks for them.

Can you bore under driveways for fiber service drops?

Yes. Short driveway and sidewalk bores are a routine part of fiber-to-the-home builds, and they keep finished surfaces intact.

Do you install handholes and vaults?

Yes. We set handholes and vaults to grade at the splice and pull locations on the plan.

Why use directional drilling for fiber conduit?

It gets conduit under roads, driveways, and waterways without open-cutting them, which keeps traffic moving and limits restoration to the bore pits.

Do you travel for fiber builds?

Yes. We are based in Hayesville, North Carolina, and mobilize crews nationwide.
