Aerial Cable Placement

At UES Construction, we specialize in aerial cable placement - an efficient method for deploying fiber optic networks along utility poles. This approach maximizes existing infrastructure and offers flexibility for future modifications as your capacity needs evolve. With our experienced team and specialized equipment, we provide end-to-end solutions for all your aerial fiber installation needs.

Strand Removal & Installation

The first step in aerial cable placement is the removal of existing support strands and the installation of new ones. Support strands are vital for securing fiber optic cables to utility poles, and they also provide stability and protection from environmental elements. Our team conducts thorough assessments of current strand conditions before removal, identifying any potential hazards or structural concerns. Once the old strands are removed, we install new support strands. This process requires careful measurement and adherence to safety protocols to ensure the strands are taut and properly positioned. The quality of strand installation directly impacts the stability and performance of the aerial fiber network. Our trained technicians utilize advanced tools to guarantee precise installation and lay a strong foundation for subsequent aerial cable placement.

Anchor & Guy Installation

Anchors stabilize the strands, particularly in areas prone to high winds or adverse weather conditions. Our team carefully selects anchor placements to provide maximum support and safety. Guy wires are then attached to the anchors, serving as additional support to prevent sagging and maintain tension in the strands. Proper installation of these components is crucial because mistakes can lead to instability and potential damage to the fiber cables. At UES Construction, we prioritize safety and reliability. We create anchor and guy systems that are robust enough to withstand environmental challenges.

Riser Installation

Riser installation is another critical aspect of aerial cable placement. Risers serve as vertical conduits that transition fiber optic cables from the aerial network into buildings or underground systems. Proper riser installation is essential for maintaining the integrity of fiber connections while protecting them from environmental factors. Our team adheres to stringent industry standards during riser installation, which includes positioning them at correct angles and elevations to minimize damage from water infiltration or pests. By prioritizing the quality of our riser installations, we help you maintain seamless connectivity and prevent costly downtime.


Pole Removal & New Placement

Existing utility poles can be outdated or structurally unsound, which makes removal and replacement necessary. UES Construction offers comprehensive pole removal and new placement services to form a reliable foundation for your aerial fiber network. We conduct thorough inspections to assess the condition of the poles, determining whether they need to be replaced or reinforced. The pole replacement process involves careful planning to minimize service disruptions. We collaborate with utility companies and local authorities to maintain compliance with regulations and safety standards. Our expertise allows us to execute these tasks efficiently and guarantees that your aerial fiber network is built on a strong foundation.

Lashing & Over Lashing Fiber

Once the infrastructure is established, we lash the fiber optic cables to the support strands. Lashing is a crucial process that involves securely attaching the fiber to the support strands using lashing wire. This ensures stability and protection from external forces that could cause damage. At UES Construction, we excel in both lashing and over lashing techniques. Over lashing involves adding additional fiber cables to an already lashed support strand, allowing for network expansion without additional support structures. This technique is beneficial for organizations looking to grow their network quickly. Our team employs advanced methods to securely attach all cables, minimize damage risk, and maximize performance.

De-Lash & Re-Lash Cable

Modifications or repairs may require de-lashing and re-lashing of fiber cables. This process involves carefully removing lashing wire to access the cables for maintenance or upgrades. Our technicians are trained to execute this task with precision for minimal disruption to the existing network. After completing the necessary repairs, we re-lash the cables to the support strands. This step is crucial for maintaining the integrity of fiber connections and guaranteeing optimal performance. Our commitment to quality means that every de-lash and re-lash operation is executed flawlessly, preserving the reliability of your aerial fiber network.

Emergency Restoration Services

Emergencies can arise unexpectedly, and they can quickly impact your aerial fiber network's functionality. UES Construction offers rapid response solutions for emergency restoration to quickly restore connectivity. When an emergency occurs, our team swiftly assesses the situation to identify the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action. Whether it involves repairing broken cables, re-lashing strands, or replacing damaged components, our skilled technicians are equipped to handle various emergency scenarios. Our priority is to minimize downtime and keep your network operational - even in challenging circumstances.
