Make Ready and Pole Attachment Services

Telecommunications companies are focused on upgrading their offerings to include gigabit fiber and fiber to the home (FTTH).  With the Telecommunications Act of 1996 requiring utilities to provide telecommunications and cable companies access to their infrastructure, poles and towers are being utilized to their capacity with countless copper, fiber and other attachments.  As each new entrant to the telecommunications market arrives and incumbent providers desire to stay competitive, attachments continue to increase. The results is utility poles being stressed beyond their design capacity.  As the pole load increases, so does the chance of a potential public safety hazard if structural analyses are not performed to validate each pole’s capacity to hold the proposed loading.

Enertech recognizes this challenge and has developed a pole audit, engineering, and make ready program that maintains the structural integrity of the utility’s aerial distribution and transmission systems while still meeting the fast-paced demands of the attaching telecommunication companies.

Enertech’ s veteran distribution designers, professional engineers, and  field staff are the ideal team to help utilities manage telecom attachments while insuring the integrity of their electrical system.
