Fielding & Engineering

Our pre-engineering construction feasibility assessments and comprehensive fielding services provide the vital blueprint for a successful build, identifying potential obstacles before a shovel ever hits the ground. We specialize in both underground and aerial engineering, conducting rigorous site walks and data collection to determine the most cost-effective and structurally sound routes for your infrastructure. Our team possesses deep expertise in designing within high-traffic public right-of-ways (ROW), as well as navigating the legal and technical nuances of both public and private easements. By integrating real-world field conditions with precision engineering, we ensure that every design is not only buildable but fully optimized for long-term reliability and regulatory approval..

Construction Management

Our Construction Management services provide end-to-end oversight for the most demanding fiber optic deployments, ensuring every mile of network is built to exact specifications. We bring deep, hands-on experience to both underground and aerial construction, with a steadfast commitment to safety and comprehensive traffic control that protects both our crews and the public. Below ground, we are experts in high-precision horizontal directional drilling (HDD), conduit placement, and the strategic installation of handholes. Above ground, we manage the entire aerial lifecycle—from utility pole make-ready and strand placement to the precision lashing of fiber optic cables. Once the path is set, our team oversees the critical tasks of fiber installation and fiber optic splicing, ensuring a seamless, high-performance network from the central office to the end user.

Regulatory & Permitting

Navigating the complex landscape of permitting and regulatory compliance is critical to the success of any utility project, whether underground or aerial. At American Utility & Tower Services, we bring extensive experience in managing the intricate requirements of federal, state, and local jurisdictions, ensuring your project moves from design to construction without costly bureaucratic delays. Our expertise extends beyond standard agency permits; we specialize in the high-level coordination required for joint-use utility agreements, as well as the specialized negotiation of easements and encroachment agreements. By serving as the expert liaison between our clients, government entities, and neighboring utilities, we mitigate legal risks and secure the necessary land rights and approvals to keep your infrastructure deployment on schedule and in full compliance with all governing standards.
