Stop trenching. Start reclaiming.
Cannon clears congested underground conduits by removing abandoned outside plant cable. Reclaim the pathways you already own instead of building new conduit, then put next-generation fiber in them.
The real cost of congested ducts
Abandoned cables are more than debris; they are a roadblock to progress. Every foot of clogged conduit forces expensive, time-consuming and disruptive new construction, and every unmapped, possibly energized cable left in a manhole is a risk to the next technician who opens it.
The solutionOutside plant reclamation
Cannon is an infrastructure construction contractor that specializes in reclaiming your most valuable asset: the conduit you already own. We create usable pathways for your next-generation fiber and save you the time and capital of building new ones.
Safe extraction
We extract abandoned copper, coax and old fiber from active and inactive underground pathways while protecting every live service.
Capacity restored
The primary goal: clean, open pathways ready for immediate use.
Responsible disposal
We manage the logistics and recycling of all removed material in compliance with applicable regulations.
A field-proven process
Grounded in decades of infrastructure construction experience, so the project is safe, efficient and non-disruptive.
- Pathway assessment. A comprehensive analysis of your manhole systems, duct integrity and cable records to define the project scope.
- Engineering and planning. A detailed work plan with traffic control, safety protocols and a clear sequence of operations.
- Conduit reclamation. Cannon field crews remove the abandoned cable while ensuring the safety and integrity of all live services.
- Pathway verification. We verify the cleared pathways are ready for use and deliver updated records to your planning and engineering teams.
The strategic value of reclamation
Eliminate new-build cost
Avoid the capital expense of trenching, boring and installing new conduit by reusing the assets you already have.
Accelerate deployment
With clear pathways, fiber projects finish in a fraction of the time and reach the market sooner.
Improve field safety
Removing unknown, unmapped and potentially energized cable from manholes simplifies maintenance and reduces risk for your technicians.
Future-proof your routes
A clean, well-documented, organized underground plant ready for 5G, IoT and decades of growth.
A partner for critical infrastructure
Extensive experience with ISPs and on secure federal projects, and an understanding of their operational demands.
Sustainability
Reclaiming and recycling material is the environmentally responsible alternative to abandoning it underground.
End-to-end outside plant services
Clearing the pathway is the beginning. Cannon carries outside plant projects from concept to completion with its own crews.
Engineering and design
In-house engineers design efficient, scalable, cost-effective routes so the project is built right from the start.
EngineeringPermitting and right-of-way
We navigate municipal, state and federal requirements to secure permits and keep the schedule.
PermittingHorizontal directional drilling
Where a new pathway is needed, HDD crosses roadways, waterways and sensitive areas with minimal disturbance.
Directional drillingFiber and cable placement
Once the path is clear, our crews place your new fiber, copper or coax to the highest industry standards.
