The Construction Process

Watch: The Nuvera Fiber construction process explained in five minutes.

Step 1:
Site Preparation

Plan fiber route and prepare for construction.

Step 2:
Fiber Construction

Build and splice main line fiber to serve the area.

Step 3:
Drop Construction

Build service drops to customers’ homes.

Step 4:
Lawn Restoration

Completed if necessary.

Step 5:
Splicing

Splice customer’s fiber drop at the home’s NID on the outside of the home.

Step 6:
Home Install

Complete install inside the home to enjoy blazing fast broadband via fiber optics.

After construction is complete, restoration will be a two part process:

  • First step is to ensure the construction area is safe, by filling holes with sand. This allows time for settling before final restoration.
  • Next step is for the contractor to return and complete the site restoration. The final restoration includes filling the impacted areas with black dirt/topsoil and grass seed.

Your Questions, Answered

Learn more about Nuvera fiber and the construction process.

A NID (Network Interface Device) is the equipment that will be placed on the outside of your home or business connecting you to the Nuvera network.

A telecommunications pedestal is a metal or plastic box that grants access to underground fiber optic cable for technicians. A pedestal allows technicians to quickly and easily access fiber for splicing and other vital actions needed for implementing or repairing the connection to your home.

Nuvera will indicate in the right-of-ways where the fiber will be placed. Flags or paint markings will be placed. All public utilities in the construction areas will be marked by the respective utility company. Please do not remove any flags or paint markings. Flags will be removed after construction is complete and paint markings will fade on their own.

Nuvera will restore any disruption to your lawn/landscaping after fiber is buried to your home. This will be a two-part process:

  • First step is to fill holes with sand, which allows time for settling before final restoration while making the construction area safe for children, pets, etc.
  • Next step is for the contractor to return and complete the site restoration after construction is complete. This includes filling the impacted areas with black dirt/topsoil and grass seed.

Homeowners are responsible for locating and marking any private underground facilities such as: invisible fencing, irrigation lines, private power, etc. Visit www.gopherstateonecall.org/homeowners for more information.

In the unlikely event that there is a significant disruption to your property, Nuvera guarantees the restoration of any landscaping, etc.

In order to take advantage of fiber Internet, you will need fiber equipment installed at your house. Nuvera’s crews and our construction partners will install all the equipment needed to implement fiber Internet in your home. If the equipment is installed during our construction phase, there is no charge to the property owner.

Installation of the fiber facilities and equipment will be free if household signs up for presale service, and fiber facilities are installed during the construction phase of the project. Current Nuvera customers are required to transition to our new fiber network which will be done free of charge.

It is best to have the fiber equipment installed when our crews are in your area. Service must be established within 60 days of becoming available or a $250 construction fee will be charged. If our crew does not install the fiber equipment at the same time as the rest of your neighborhood and you decide at some point in the future you want to move ahead with Nuvera high-speed fiber Internet, you can call our office and schedule a time for our crew to come back out and complete the line to your home. A $250 construction fee will apply or will be waived if you commit to a 2-year agreement.
