Our Capabilities

Four service lines, from route design and permitting through construction, splicing, maintenance and restoration.

Grouped the way work gets bid. Each line can be contracted on its own or together as a turnkey project.

01

Outside Plant Construction

Backbone and distribution plant placed underground and aerial: directional and rock drilling, trenching, plowing, microtrenching, conduit and cable placement, and aerial construction built to NESC and owner specifications.

Outside Plant Construction
  • Directional DrillingMini, midi and rock HDD under roads, rail and water, with bore paths logged.
  • Missile BoringPneumatic piercing tools under driveways, sidewalks and two-lane crossings.
  • PlowingVibratory plow trains for rural backbone and greenfield distribution runs.
  • MicrotrenchingSaw-cut slot in roadway and shoulder, micro trenching to permit width and depth, microduct placed and backfilled in the specified material.
  • Aerial PlacementStrand, lashing, overlash and pole transfers to NESC clearance and joint-use rules.
  • Fiber PlacementDuct systems, mandrel proofing, jetted and pulled cable, vaults and cabinets.
  • SplicingSingle-fiber and ribbon fusion splicing on backbone, distribution and drop, with bidirectional testing.
  • Specialized ScopesData center connectivity, DOT, municipal and utility relocations, and handholes, vaults and pedestals.
02

Last Mile & Fulfillment

Service from the terminal to the premises: buried service drops, residential and business installations, and fiber construction inside apartments, condominiums and commercial buildings.

Last Mile & Fulfillment
  • Drop BuryTemp-to-permanent conversion, bored or plowed, with sod and hardscape put back.
  • Installation & ServiceResidential and business installations, premises wiring, equipment setup, activation and trouble calls.
  • MDUsRisers, cored sleeves, IDF racks and unit drops for apartments, campuses and high-rises.
03

Engineering & Permitting

Route design, make-ready engineering, permitting and as-built records, delivered as the first phase of a turnkey contract. Prints, route sheets and closeout records are issued in your engineering team’s format.

Engineering & Permitting
  • Route DesignFTTx and FTTH design underground and aerial, with prints and bills of material in your format.
  • Make-ReadyField walkout, pole inventory, loading analysis and attachment applications tracked to release.
  • PermittingMunicipal right-of-way, state DOT, county bore and railroad crossing applications.
  • Quantities & MaterialQuantity takeoffs, material lists and bills of material built off the issued design.
  • As-Built GISField red-lines reconciled into certified as-builts and GIS layers in your schema.
04

Maintenance & Restoration

Emergency outage response, storm restoration and scheduled maintenance for live aerial and underground plant, with crews that mobilize to any of the 48 contiguous states.

Maintenance & Restoration
  • Emergency ResponseCut-cable response around the clock, dispatched under the maintenance agreement.
  • Storm RestorationPost-storm damage assessment, pole and strand replacement, and plant rebuilt to service.
  • Repairs & UpgradesScheduled plant repair, terminal and cabinet replacement, overlash and capacity upgrades.

How a project runs

Four phases under one contract and one project team.

01

Engineering & Permitting

Route design, field walkouts, permitting and make-ready before crews mobilize.

02

Construction

Underground and aerial plant placed by drilling, plowing and aerial crews.

03

Splicing & Testing

Splicing, termination, testing and turn-up against the design loss budget.

04

Closeout

Site restoration, test packages and as-built drawings in your format.
