Streamlining Joint Use Services: A Comprehensive Guide From Aerial Plant Assessment to Construction Completion

Presented at ISE EXPO in Dallas, Texas, on August 22, 2024

This presentation offers an exploration of joint use services for successful aerial plant deployment—from up-front make-ready ride out for pole assessment, through an expedited application approval process with power companies, to make-ready construction. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the processes, tools, and tactics employed by engineering firms to achieve success in this ever-changing telecommunications space. A guided discussion from our presenters will highlight strategic advantages, including optimal route planning and safety protocols. Real-world project experiences showcase successful deployments, providing best practices and lessons learned to minimize disruptions to existing infrastructure.

A crucial aspect of joint use services, the assessment of poles, is addressed through make-ready ride out. Attendees will delve into criteria for assessing pole condition, prioritizing assessments, implementing proactive maintenance, and ensuring the longevity of joint use infrastructure.
