Contractor Support
New Construction & Remodeling

Because Trailblazer Broadband is owned by the Town of Estes Park and operated by Estes Park Power & Communications, it is easy to ensure that your new build is equipped with the proper conduit for Traillbazer’s fiber-optic lines at the time of construction.
The Power & Communications team reviews all new construction and remodeling plans for electrical installation. During construction, your contractor can run conduit to make your new home Fiber-Ready for Trailblazer Broadband. Even if service isn’t available yet, you can avoid future disruption to hardscape and landscaping.
1. Call For Information
Contact Estes Park Power & Communications with questions and to discuss the fiber path. Please reach out to:
Adam Edwards, Crew Supervisor
Phone: 970-577-3614
Email: aedwards@estes.org
If needed, Estes Park Power and Communications representative will schedule a time to walk the property with you and make Exterior and Interior fiber placement suggestions.
2. Plan Optimal Fiber Placement
Consider the best internet configuration for your property, taking into consideration:
- Main or ground-level placement of the main Nokia Gateway in a central location is optimal (with additional Beacons recommended for multiple levels or large homes).
- Where you use the internet most
- Near an electrical outlet
- At least 3 feet away from any appliances or wireless devices that may cause interference (e.g. Microwaves, Cordless Phones, Baby Monitors, Older Electronic Equipment, etc.)
- The potential for interference with WiFi signals from certain building materials such as concrete, brick, steel, or even particularly thick walls.
- Where wired (ethernet) vs. WiFi connectivity is needed throughout the property.
If you wish to have additional wired (ethernet) connections within the home you can run ethernet cable (Cat 6 or above) to the additional wired locations during the construction process. If this is not done at the time of construction, the customer will need to engage a Network Specialist or contractor to run the additional cable post-construction. This is not a service that Trailblazer provides.
3. Place Conduit
Ensure that Trailblazer Broadband conduit is in place.
By coordinating with your contractor to trench and install the 1″ micro-conduit ahead of time during the construction process, you will save the trouble of having Trailblazer’s fiber teams do a second trench to your home, which might have to cross finished surfaces such as driveways or walkways.
Fiber-ready conduit should be installed following your power feeds from the vault at your curb to your home.
IMPORTANT: Existing conduit may or may not be useable for Trailblazer Broadband fiber installation.
Please understand that placing conduit for fiber during construction does not always mean that you will have service immediately. Your actual service availability will still be based on our overall construction schedule during which we run and test the fiber optic lines to your area. Click below to learn more.
