    Expert Cable Installation Services in Canada

    From direct burial and cable plowing to aerial drops and fibre jetting, AVERTEX has the people, processes, and equipment to deliver safe, accurate cable installations across all project scopes. Whether you’re expanding rural broadband, powering a wind farm, or wiring up a new subdivision, our crews know what it takes to get cable in the ground, or in the air, on time and without disruption.

    What We Do

    Underground Cable Installation

    We offer complete underground cable installation via trenching, plowing, duct pulling, and fibre jetting. Our crews handle fibre optic, power, coaxial, whether in new conduit, existing ducts, or direct-buried in prepared trenches.

    • Jetting: Long distance fibre installation.
    • Direct Burial: High Voltage cable placement with sand envelope or residential service wires.
    • Hand-Pulling: Shorter runs in conduit with precision
    • Cable Plowing: Efficient installation for rural and open environments

    Aerial Cable Installation

    When overhead infrastructure is required, we deliver safe and code-compliant aerial installations. Our team manages sag, tension, and slack adjustments, ensuring proper line clearances and service reliability.

    Why Contractors Trust AVERTEX for Cable Placement

    Whether it’s a single duct run or a sprawling network of cable routes, AVERTEX delivers end-to-end installations that are built for performance.

    Our Cable Placement Methods & Capabilities

    Pull Cable in Duct

    For shorter distances hand pulling is used. For longer distances and larger cables mechanical means are necessary and cable pulling trailers are often utilized.

    Jetting in Duct

    Used to install fibre optic cable. This is performed using a specialized machine that combines compressed air and mechanical pushing forces to install fibre optic cables in conduit. This creates minimal friction to allow for cable installation over much longer distances than traditional cable pulling.

    Direct Bury Cable

    Common for electrical or telecom installs. Typically paired with trenching or plowing and placed within sand envelopes.

    Aerial Cable Placement

    Suited to urban or rural projects where overhead telecom lines are required. Our crews will install cables and adjust tensions and slack to meet the required spec.

    Working with New vs. Existing Duct Infrastructure

    When we install our own ducts, we know exactly what we’re working with, which makes placement easier and cleaner.
    With existing ducts, we typically proof the conduit using sponges or mandrels to confirm it’s clear and viable. This prevents damage to the cable we install and indicates if there are potential damage points in your duct or conduit to ensure a smooth cable install.

    Safety, Supervision & Monitoring

    • On-site supervision and trained personnel keep installations safe, even in active work zones.
    • Traffic control is used where required (Book 7 compliant).
    • Utilities are spotted and cleared before any crossings, and monitored by utility reps when necessary.
    • We keep an eye on tension and adjust pulling techniques to prevent cable damage based on cable type and load tolerance.

    Testing & Verification

    When the cable reaches the endpoint and connections are sound, the install is considered complete. If issues arise, our team will locate the fault and repair or replace as needed. Thorough duct proofing before install minimizes risk.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What types of cable does AVERTEX install?

    We work with fibre, coaxial, copper, and power cables across telecom and electrical applications.

    2. What’s the difference between hand-pull and jetting?

    Hand-pull is generally used for short conduit runs with a variety of cable types; jetting is used for fibre and can continue up to 2–3 km without splicing.

    3. How do you prevent cable damage during installation?

    We match the installation method to the cable type, monitor tension, and proof ducts beforehand to avoid snags.

    4. Can you install cable in older ducts?

    Yes, after we proof them using mandrels or sponges to confirm they’re clear and undamaged.

    5. Do you offer aerial cable placement, too?

    Yes, our teams are experienced in tensioning and installing aerial cable.
