FIBER & COMMUNICATIONS
FROM PATHWAY TO CONNECTION.
Rock Ridge provides outside-plant fiber construction for municipal, rural, regional and large-scale network deployments.
Our capabilities span underground and aerial construction, fiber placement, splicing, testing and project closeout—allowing resources to be aligned around the requirements of each network build.
UNDERGROUND FIBER CONSTRUCTION
Capabilities include:
- HDD
- Vibratory plowing
- Excavation and trenching
- Conduit and duct systems
- Handholes and vaults
- Road and utility crossings
- Mainline and lateral construction
- Fiber placement
FIBER PLACEMENT
Rock Ridge provides fiber installation across new and existing pathways using placement methods appropriate for the cable, conduit system, route and network design.
Placement methods and equipment are selected around cable specifications, pathway conditions, route design and project requirements.
Capabilities include:
- Air-blown fiber installation
- Mechanical fiber pulling
- Manual hand pulling
- Underground cable placement
- Aerial fiber placement
- ADSS installation
- Strand and lashed fiber
- Feeder and distribution fiber
- Long-route fiber installation
- FTTH network construction
AERIAL FIBER CONSTRUCTION
Rock Ridge provides aerial fiber construction supporting new network deployment, system expansion and mixed aerial/underground builds.
Capabilities include:
- ADSS installation
- Strand-supported fiber construction
- Cable lashing
- Aerial fiber placement
- Slack storage and organization
- Aerial-to-underground transitions
- Fiber routing and placement
- New-build and network expansion construction
SPLICING & TESTING
Capabilities include:
- Fusion splicing
- Splice enclosure installation
- Fiber termination
- Testing and verification
- Troubleshooting
- Documentation
- Project closeout
FTTH & BROADBAND
Rock Ridge teams bring experience from high-production FTTH and rural broadband programs across multiple regions.
Resources can support combinations of:
- HDD
- PLOWING
- EXCAVATION
- AERIAL
- FIBER PLACEMENT
- SPLICING
- TESTING
This allows Rock Ridge to adjust crew composition and construction methods around network design rather than treating every route as a single-method build.
ONE NETWORK.MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION METHODS.
Fiber projects rarely fit neatly into one construction method.
Rock Ridge can coordinate underground, aerial, placement and fiber-completion resources around the requirements of the network.
