In today’s digital age, connectivity is just as important as power. From business parks to smart cities, fiber-optic networks form the backbone of Houston’s communications infrastructure. SubTerra Utilities is proud to be a trusted contractor for fiber trenching, conduit installation, and directional drilling across Southeast Texas.
The Rise of Fiber-Optic Infrastructure

Fiber-optic cables offer superior bandwidth, faster speeds, and lower latency. They’re essential for:

  • Internet providers
  • 5G networks
  • Public Wi-Fi zones
  • Smart building technology

Why Trenching and Drilling Matter

Installing fiber isn’t just about pulling cable. It’s about placing it where it will last, perform, and remain accessible. We offer:

Open trenching for traditional fiber routes

Directional drilling for minimal surface disruption

Vault and handhole placement for long-term access

SubTerra’s Turnkey Approach

With advanced boring rigs and GPS-guided mapping, our team ensures clean, precise conduit paths—under sidewalks, roads, or landscaped areas—without unnecessary disruption. We also:

  • Coordinate with local utilities and 811
  • Perform hydro excavation when needed
  • Install multiple pathways for scalability
  • Whether you’re laying fiber for a new tech campus or upgrading a city grid, we tailor each install to your design specs and timeline.
