Engineering services for every phase of your project.

From early planning through construction, we deliver the technical expertise and project discipline you need to succeed.

Permitting & Compliance

We manage the permit process for telecommunications and utility projects, ensuring compliance with local regulations. Services include:

  • Reviewing Permit Requirements: Understanding local zoning and building codes.
  • Preparing Applications: Completing detailed permit applications with technical specifications and assessments.
  • Addressing Issues: Resolving discrepancies during the review process.
  • Documentation: Keeping thorough records of all permit-related documents.
  • Collaboration: Working with project teams to align the permitting process with project timelines.
  • Regulatory Updates: Staying informed on changes in regulations to ensure ongoing compliance

Drafting & CAD

We provide precise and comprehensive CAD drafting services to support all phases of telecom and utility projects. Our experienced drafters produce high-quality drawings that ensure clarity, accuracy, and full compliance with client and industry standards.

Our services include:

  • Detailed plan & profile drawings for aerial and underground fiber routes.
  • As-built drawings reflecting final field conditions and construction updates .
  • Redline markups incorporating field changes, corrections, and client feedback.
  • Pole profile drawings with accurate attachment heights and clearances.
  • Make-ready (MR) design drawings aligned with utility requirements 

Permit and construction drawings ready for submission to pole owners and agencies 

We ensure all deliverables are standardized, easy to interpret, and fully aligned with NESC guidelines and client-specific requirements, helping streamline approvals and construction execution.

Pole Loading Analysis

Ensuring the structural integrity of utility poles is crucial. Our services include:

  • Load Calculation: Determining various loads on the pole, including existing attachments and environmental factors.
  • Structural Analysis: Assessing the pole’s capacity to handle combined loads.
  • Software Utilization: Using specialized tools for accurate analysis.
  • Code Compliance: Ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.
  • Recommendations: Suggesting necessary reinforcements or modifications.
  • Documentation: Detailed reports of analysis results and recommendations.

Pole Annotation

  • Utilizing calibrated data, we provide detailed pole top height measurements and annotations (including height and designation) for all elements within both power and communication zones. 
  • Furthermore, we Provide the pole attachment data and conduct assessments to determine if communication lines are in violation of power line clearance regulations.

Make-Ready Engineering

Our make-ready engineers ensure that utility poles and infrastructure are prepared for new equipment installations. Key responsibilities include:

  • Engineering Analysis: Structural analyses to determine load-bearing capacities and necessary reinforcements.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring adherence to relevant regulations, like the NESC.
  • Coordination: Collaborating with stakeholders to coordinate activities and approvals.
  • Documentation: Maintaining accurate project records and site assessments.
