The telecommunications sector is one where a deployment program that makes it to time and gets through with it and one that hangs up weeks (or months) because of preventable delays can only be distinguished by the quality and efficiency of two key engineering tasks: permitting and structural analysis.

All telecommunications sites, whether it's a new macro tower or a small cell on a utility pole, have to go through some regulatory process before they can be built or equipped. All structures installed for telecommunications equipment shall be capable of safely supporting that equipment under all loading conditions as demonstrated. Both are extremely detailed, require specialist experience, and must be carried out quickly and on a large scale as required by network rollout programs.

iTechLance IT offers both — and has established a solid and rapidly expanding international profile in delivering them to network operators, tower companies and infrastructure developers in the UK, Australia, the USA and the Middle East.

Telecom Permitting Services – First-Time Approvals, Every Time

Requirements for permitting ...
... services to the Telecom industry are quite complex in different regulatory environments and jurisdictions. Each local planning authority, municipal council, state regulatory body and federal entity have their own individual requirements for the submission of permits — and a package that meets one requirement might be completely inadequate under another.

iTechLance IT offers complete Telecom permitting services that are tailored for each jurisdiction in which our clients conduct their business. All components as defined by the relevant authority, including all required drawing types, such as zoning and site location plans, compound layout drawings, antenna configuration drawings, equipment specification sheets, elevation drawings and photo simulations, as well as all supporting documentation as required, are included in our permit packages.

Pole Loading Analysis – Structural Confidence Before Every Attachment

There is a very basic reason for the Pole Loading Analysis requirement to prevent harm to the public by making sure that telecommunications equipment is not placed on a structure that is unable to support such load. There are consequences associated with not performing a proper structural assessment, the first being the possibility of it being rejected by the regulatory authorities, and the second being failure of the structure which can be catastrophic.

iTechLance IT provides experienced and professionally developed reports of Pole Loading Analysis to industry standards in the markets we serve. Our structural analysis team evaluates existing pole capacity against the proposed new loading conditions (antennas, cables, equipment mounts, wind and ice).

Our Pole Loading Analysis service is integrated with our wider telecom documentation capability — meaning that structural analysis findings can be directly incorporated into permit application packages, reducing the number of supplier interactions our clients need to manage and accelerating the overall site approval timeline.
