Reliable Fiber Installation Through Existing Conduit

Schroeder Construction Inc delivers professional fiber blowing services for commercial and telecom projects throughout Big Lake and statewide Minnesota.

When your commercial or telecom project in Big Lake requires fiber optic cable installation through underground conduit systems, you need a crew that understands how to work efficiently in Minnesota soil and climate conditions. Schroeder Construction Inc handles fiber blowing for high-speed network expansion projects across Big Lake, the North Metro, Medina, Blaine, and Coon Rapids, with experienced teams available statewide. Whether you are expanding broadband access or upgrading telecom infrastructure, the installation is completed safely and efficiently using equipment designed for long-distance conduit runs.


Fiber blowing involves using compressed air to push fiber optic cable through existing underground conduit systems, allowing installation over long distances without the need for additional excavation. This method works well in areas where conduit has already been placed through directional drilling or trenching, and it supports projects that demand minimal disruption to existing surfaces. Schroeder Construction Inc often bundles fiber blowing with directional drilling, vibratory plowing, conduit installation, and fiber splicing services, providing a complete solution for network infrastructure development.

Trained crews handle installation from setup to final inspection

Your fiber blowing project in Big Lake begins with a review of the conduit system to confirm it is clear, intact, and ready for cable installation. Schroeder Construction Inc crews arrive with specialized blowing equipment, fiber reels, and compressed air systems that allow them to push cable through conduit runs that may span hundreds or even thousands of feet. The equipment is calibrated based on conduit diameter, cable type, and distance to ensure smooth installation without damage to the fiber.


After installation, you will have a complete fiber optic cable system ready for splicing and testing. The cable remains protected inside the conduit, reducing the risk of environmental damage and extending the lifespan of your network infrastructure. Schroeder Construction Inc coordinates with your project timeline to keep installations on schedule, whether you are working on a single site or a multi-location rollout across Minnesota.


Crews work efficiently in Minnesota weather conditions, including seasonal frost and variable terrain, and they communicate clearly throughout the project to address any site-specific challenges. Fiber blowing does not include splicing or termination services unless specifically requested, but it integrates seamlessly with those follow-up steps. This service is well-suited for projects that already have conduit in place and need fast, reliable cable installation without additional ground disturbance.

Questions about fiber blowing are welcome here

Homeowners and project managers often want to know more about how fiber blowing works, what equipment is used, and how it fits into a larger network installation plan before moving forward with a quote or scheduling.

What is fiber blowing used for?
Fiber blowing is used to install fiber optic cable through underground conduit systems for telecom and broadband network expansion. It allows long-distance cable installation without additional excavation.
How does fiber blowing work in Minnesota winter conditions?
Crews use compressed air systems and specialized equipment that function reliably in cold weather, and conduit systems protect the cable from frost and shifting ground. Schroeder Construction Inc has experience working year-round across Minnesota.
What happens if the conduit is blocked or damaged?
The crew inspects the conduit before installation and can use hydrovacing or locating services to identify blockages or damage. If necessary, repairs or cleaning are completed before fiber blowing begins.
How long does a typical fiber blowing project take?
Installation time depends on conduit length, access points, and site conditions, but most commercial projects are completed within one to three days. Schroeder Construction Inc schedules work to align with your project timeline.
Why choose fiber blowing over pulling cable manually?
Fiber blowing reduces friction and stress on the cable, allowing longer runs and faster installation. It also minimizes the risk of damaging delicate fiber strands during the process.
