You get a complete aerial fibre build, from make-ready engineering to strand and lash. We coordinate with utilities and manage all traffic control, which accelerates your project timeline and minimizes outages for existing customers.
Aerial construction is often the fastest and most cost-effective way to expand your fibre network, especially in rural areas or communities with existing utility poles. The key to a successful aerial build is expert coordination. We manage the complex process of pole access, make-ready work, and safe installation, ensuring your network is built correctly and efficiently.
We handle every component of the overhead build, from the first assessment to the final cable installation.
Your project stays on track with our detailed make-ready services.
Your fibre is installed securely and to standard. We run the steel support strand and then lash the fibre cable to it, ensuring proper sag and tension for long-term durability.
In situations where a steel strand is not ideal, we can install All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) fibre cable directly to the poles.
We can also manage and maintain your existing aerial copper and coax cable systems.
We are experts in building aerial FTTx and last-mile networks, bringing high-speed connectivity to both urban and rural communities.
We can extend your security infrastructure by installing aerial cameras on poles, providing a wider field of view for your facilities or public spaces.
Your aerial project follows our four-step process, designed to manage the unique complexities of working on shared utility infrastructure.
We start by verifying your route and performing a detailed pole-by-pole assessment. We identify all make-ready requirements and create a precise engineering design for the build.
We handle the pole access applications and permitting for you. Our team coordinates directly with pole owners (like hydro and other telcos) to get approvals and schedule all make-ready work.
Our experienced linemen, supported by our traffic control teams, execute the build. They install the strand and lash the fibre cable, managing any necessary pole transfers to ensure a safe and compliant installation.
Once the cable is placed, our splicing teams test and certify every strand. You receive a complete handover package with test reports and as-built documentation confirming your network is ready for service.
Make-ready is the process of preparing a utility pole to safely accept a new cable. This often involves moving existing cables (like power, phone, or cable TV) to create the required separation space specified by safety codes. It can also include structural upgrades or even replacing an old pole that cannot handle the new load. We manage this coordination for you.
A pole transfer is when we move existing services from an old pole to a new one that is set beside it. This is a critical, high-coordination task. Our project managers work with all utility owners to schedule the transfers in the correct sequence—typically power first, then other communications providers—to minimize service interruptions and complete the work safely.
For a Rogers Communication service expansion in Grey County, we delivered a full turnkey build that included both underground and aerial construction.
Our crews managed the make-ready engineering and aerial installation to connect 417 homes, completing 338km of new network infrastructure.
