Rural Broadband Deployment

From rolling farmland to underserved counties, Sellenriek Construction is proud to be a trusted infrastructure partner for rural broadband expansion. We’ve been building in rural communities for decades — long before broadband equity made national headlines! — and we understand the complexity and care these projects demand better than anyone.

Whether you’re deploying middle mile infrastructure through BEAD funding, launching a Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) project, or scaling your service territory, Sellenriek is ready with the crews, equipment, and experience to deliver.

How We Build Rural Broadband Projects

BEAD-Funded Deployments

Support for public-private partnerships, including compliance with NTIA requirements, permitting, and community coordination.

Fiber-to-the-Home Installation

Complete construction for rural FTTH networks — both underground and aerial — built for the future.

Directional Drilling & Cable Plowing

Cost-effective trenchless solutions designed for large distances and mixed terrain.

Damage Prevention & Utility Locating

Protecting existing assets through GIS-based planning, vacuum excavation, and risk mitigation.

Your BEAD Project Partner

Sellenriek is actively working with internet providers, electric cooperatives, and public agencies to bring BEAD-eligible projects to life across the Midwest. We fully understand the documentation, timelines, and reporting required to stay in compliance, and proudly build to the standards those federal dollars demand.

We’re not just meeting deadlines — we’re shaping effective, efficient, and lasting outcomes. From grant-funded middle mile networks to last-mile builds that connect homes, we’re here to accelerate rural broadband from blueprint to home connection.
