Delivery across markets nationwide

Wireless delivery since the first generation of digital cellular

We have been engineering and building wireless infrastructure since the first generation of digital cellular. In 1996 we designed the first PRIMECO (now Verizon) PCS site on the IH-35 corridor — part of the first and largest multi-market PCS rollout in U.S. history. In the decades since, we have supported more than 5,000 telecommunications sites across the U.S. and Canada.

What we do

  • Site acquisition and zoning

    Candidate identification, leasing support, land-use entitlement, and permitting.

  • Civil and structural design

    Towers, foundations, equipment platforms, shelters, and compounds.

  • Macro, small-cell, and DAS

    Capacity and coverage solutions for dense, high-demand, and seasonal-peak environments.

  • Construction management and design-build delivery

    From notice-to-proceed through closeout.

  • Carrier and tower-company coordination

    Colocation, modifications, and multi-party site development.
