Remediating your property is an important part of our construction process. As we build Beaverlodge’s underground infrastructure we work hard to limit effects to your property through a series of processes and specific construction equipment. We use the least invasive means of building as possible to limit any temporary damage to lawns and landscaping. Directional drills and vibratory plowing equipment reduce the amount of soil turned, we still create a small mess. But fear not, we always remediate anything effected by our work and ensure that it will return to its healthiest form in suitable time.
Our team will wait for the ground to properly settle after we’ve unturned it and will typically leave a pile of fill so ensure ample material to completely fill any holes left. This can take a few days, to a few weeks dependent on the weather. At that point we set the earth to final grade and plant new seed for your lawn to begin to regrow to its previous health when given consistent watering and care! Additionally, when needed, if a driveway is damaged or affected by our work, we will also conduct repairs on the area. These are a small price we need to pay to keep construction moving so we can continue to connect homes and businesses as fast as possible!
Our team is committed to doing the best possible work on your property to bring you world class internet with the least possible effect to property. This work can take time, so we ask for your patience as we work to finish construction in town and remediate property over the next several weeks and months as we go from home to home.

Access Agreements and Utility Locating: Hassle-Free Preparation for Fiber Installation
Are you excited about the lightning-fast speeds our fiber optic services can bring to your home or business? Before we get started, let’s address two crucial aspects: access agreements and utility locating. Rest assured, we’ve made these processes as simple and convenient as possible for you.
Signing an Access Agreement: Cost-Free Future-Proofing for Your Home
To ensure a smooth installation experience, we encourage you to sign an access agreement. The best part? It won’t cost you a dime. By granting us access to your property, we will install fiber optic right to your house. This is not only prepare your home for any future upgrades or expansions but also secure any existing promotions you’re eligible for (limited time, of course).
It’s a win-win situation that guarantees a hassle-free installation and peace of mind.
Utility Locating: Flags and Paint in Your Community
You may have noticed flags and paint in your community, including potentially in your backyard. Don’t worry, these markers are part of our underground utility locating process. We’re meticulously identifying underground utilities to minimize any disruptions during installation. However, rest assured, the presence of these markers doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll be digging on your property.
No Digging on Your Property Without an Access Agreement
At Northern Lights Fiber, our construction teams will only dig on your property if you have signed an access agreement or explicitly given us permission to do so. So just because there’s paint and/or flags in your yard, it doesn’t mean we’ll dig. Calling in locates and locating utilities is just an important step we take to plan this major infrastructure project.

We have been hard at work to ensure everyone knows that we are bringing your community fiber optic internet! More importantly, we are bringing speeds up to 1,000 Mbps. This means that you will have an opportunity to get internet that is several times faster than anything seen in town before! To prepare Beaverlodge for the future, new fiber-optic infrastructure is deeply important. To ensure this massive upgrade lasts decades, we will bury this infrastructure! Unfortunately, even in the best weather conditions, installing new underground infrastructure is hard and dangerous work, here is what you need to know about the project.
Progress so Far
We’ve continued to work hard through June, laying hundreds more meters of fiber optic cable and conduit! You will have seen our crews working behind 6th and 7th Ave moving south, and then working towards the highway from the east side of town. Through July the crews will continue working west to connect all of the residential areas, and start getting our local businesses connected to high speed fiber internet.
We will be activating our fiber network in the constructed areas very soon! If you’re interested in beta testing our new services, be sure to fill out our form at LightUpBeaverlodge.ca/beta.
Construction typically only lasts on each street for a few days, and then we are on to connecting the next! You can follow along on a weekly basis on our Facebook page here where we will outline where you will expect to see the crews each week! Any breaking news will be shared as soon as we are able through our Facebook page as well.
We do pride ourselves on hiring and training local. If you’re interested in seeing how you can contribute to building a world class network in your own backyard, be sure to look at our job postings here!There are a few more things you should know and expect as things warm up and we get to work in your neighbourhood:
Flagging
Before the project begins down your alleys, side streets, and the drop comes into your yard, you will see flags begin to pop up all around. This is the first step at bringing fiber to your hope and the installation of your drop. If you’ve registered for services you will be notified when we start this process for your home.
These flags are incredibly important as it tells the construction crew where important infrastructure, like gas and electric, is located. If you see these flags, please ensure that you do not touch or remove them from the ground. If a crew is unable to see a flag or the utilities below it could cause serious damage to your utilities or cause harm to the crews.
Flags are placed to mark utilities already buried on the town’s public right of ways, or if you’ve registered for services, up to your home. Right of ways are typically within the first 1-2 meters of a property, and can at times be located in your front or back yard. Please ensure that if you see construction coming down your street, there is access to the right of ways so progress can move by quickly! If you have questions about your property lines and where right of ways are buried, you can contact the town office firectly.
If you would like to let us know about private utilities on your property where we will be building, please call our main line and let our team know. For more information on locates, visit UtilitySafety.ca.
Installing the drop
This is the easy part! We don’t need access to the home, so no appointment is needed. We will be able to complete this based on our techs availability. Our crew will come by and knock/ring first before getting to work. They will install the conduit from our access point to just outside of your home. They do this by making use of a vibratory plow, to install the fiber cable just beneath the ground. All you’ll see is an orange piece sticking out of the ground ready for us to install the ONT, and your fiber services, indoors. From here we can book a technician to get your service up and running!
It Can Get Messy
Progress is going very well, but when working with hydrovacs it can sometimes get a little messy. Because we are building buried infrastructure under/in wet ground, progress on our new construction will require this to complete properly. Follow our Facebook page to keep yourself updated as we push through this spring to connect you sooner!
Remediation
We are building underground construction, which means we dig holes and small trenches for the fiber lines to run down! Although we deploy directional drills and vibratory plowing equipment that reduces the amount of soil turned, we still create a small mess. But fear not, we always remediate anything effected by our work and ensure that it will return to its healthiest form in suitable time. Our team will wait for the ground to properly settle after we’ve unturned it. This can take a few days, to a few weeks dependent on the weather. At that point, we set the earth to final grade and plant new seed for your lawn to regrow to its previous health! It is a small price we need to pay to keep construction moving so we can continue to connect homes and businesses as fast as possible!
