High-Density Fiber Buildout, Port Huron, Michigan
50,000 linear feet of high-density fiber across Port Huron for Mercury — three projects through tight residential neighborhoods where damage prevention and attention to detail set our crews apart.
The Brief
Mercury needed 50,000 linear feet of fiber built across Port Huron, Michigan — spread over three projects running mostly through high-density residential neighborhoods. Tight lots, crowded utility corridors, and short setbacks made every bore a precision job. Attention to detail and damage prevention weren’t nice-to-haves; they were the whole assignment.
The Challenge
High-density neighborhoods stack utilities close and leave little room for error. Each bore meant careful locates, potholing to confirm depth, and crews working slow enough to stay clean but steady enough to hold the schedule across all three projects.
Execution
- Pre-bore locates and potholing in congested utility corridors
- HDD threaded through tight residential setbacks
- Dedicated restoration to keep neighborhoods clean phase to phase
- Disciplined damage-prevention practice on every crossing
Delivery
- 50,000 linear feet installed across three projects
- Minimal at-fault damages in dense, high-risk corridors
- Among the highest-praised contractors on site by the ISP
Why It Mattered
Larger contractors were working the same market. Our crews still came out among the highest-praised on site — earned by keeping at-fault damages to a minimum exactly where the margin for error was smallest. In high-density work, that reputation is what brings the next phase.
