"first burying a relatively large diameter pipe, and then blowing the fibre through it."

I've seen construction electricians do this for power wiring inside conduit, makes sense really.

A piece of string with a cotton ball on the end is stuffed into the conduit, and blown through into the next junction box with air. Then you tie the string to the wires, and pull them through.
