Hey Charlotte,

Have you seen us around town lately? We’re the ones with hard hats and dirt stains on our clothes.

Over the last few months, our team has been drawing up blueprints for our new fiber network in Charlotte. But that was just the start.

We're doing some heavy lifting – literally – to bring Google Fiber to communities throughout Charlotte. There are crews working on the streets with boom trucks, tunnel boring machines, and rolls of cables as we form the foundation of our network.

We'll be sure to let you know if we're going to be doing construction near your home — but here's a sneak peek at what we're up to.

Building a new fiber network is a measure twice, cut once type of project. Here we’re calibrating our equipment to make sure the bore head is exactly where it should be.

We use a lot of different types of equipment to lay fiber. Here we’re using the horizontal directional drill to place conduit underground. We’ll be installing enough fiber in Charlotte to run to Canada and back.

There’s a lot to do, but we’re working hard to make sure we get it right. If you haven’t already, you can follow us on Google+, Facebook, or Twitter to hear more about what’s next.

See you around town,
The Charlotte Google Fiber team
