Cable plowing is one of the most efficient ways to install underground utilities, especially over long distances in rural or semi-rural terrain. Using specialized and in-house equipment, we cut a narrow trench and simultaneously place fiber, conduit, or power cables in one seamless pass. The result? Faster builds, lower impact, and more affordable installations. Cable plowing is a go-to choice for rural broadband rollouts, municipal expansions, and large-scale power distribution projects where speed and reliability are essential.
Our proprietary dashboard provides real-time visibility and tracking for every cable plowing project. Whether you’re overseeing fiber deployments or undergrounding utilities, you can monitor progress and performance in one user-friendly interface.

Cable plowing is a fast, efficient method for installing fiber optic and utility cables by splicing a narrow trench and laying cable in a single pass. Itβs especially effective in rural areas across Missouri, Oklahoma, and Missouri where long-distance fiber needs to be laid quickly and affordably.
ISPs, municipalities, utility companies, and developers rely on cable plowing for fast, cost-effective underground installation of broadband fiber and electrical infrastructure. Itβs perfect for large-scale projects in underserved or developing regions. This method supports scalable, reliable network expansion.
Cable plowing works best in rural and semi-rural locations with open terrain and minimal obstacles such as southern Illinois, rural Kansas, and central Missouri . Itβs ideal where traditional trenching would be costly, slow, or disruptive. This approach helps reduce project timelines and environmental impact.
Compared to traditional trenching used in urban St. Louis or Tulsa, cable plowing causes less surface damage and requires less restoration. This makes it the top choice for efficient deployment in rural broadband corridors.
Yes, we provide turnkey cable plowing services, including planning, permitting, installation, and site restoration in states like Missouri, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the broader Midwest. Our expert crews follow strict safety and compliance standards to ensure timely, reliable delivery of broadband fiber and utility infrastructure.
