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.

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 Loading Analysis

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.

We create detailed GIS maps for pole vicinity, ensuring precision and clarity. Our process includes data acquisition from reliable sources, data processing for accuracy, and designing maps with appropriate symbols and labels. We conduct spatial analysis, add detailed annotations, and utilize standardized symbols for readability. We generate final maps in various formats, review for accuracy and compliance, document procedures for reproducibility, and collaborate with GIS analysts and engineers. By leveraging advanced GIS mapping techniques, we provide high-quality maps that support effective infrastructure planning, maintenance, and management.

GIS Mapping

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.
