How a turnkey contractor can streamline the process to save you time, money and hassle

There’s a lot of moving parts involved in installing telecommunications systems. The bigger the scope of your project, the more moving parts there will be. There’s a long list of decisions to be made, including who to hire for which aspect of the work, which materials to use, and how to design your network. There’s typically a fair amount of red tape to navigate, with both the municipality and the building owner.

Being familiar with the process ourselves, we’ve put together an overview of what goes into a project. Our intent is to demonstrate the value of turning to one contractor who can handle every aspect of the project, to reduce miscommunication, error, and your own headache.

Your telecoms project will need:

Planning and design
You’ll need to:
Identify existing routes are and establish what is required to build to targeted areas
Provide costs for permitting, engineering, construction and splicing
Audit existing systems ie access vaults, storage loops, splice cases, cable locations + footages
Create the construction prints, including aerial/underground, boring profiles, cross sections, other details and technical documentation

Permitting
You’ll need to:
Gather information in regards to permitting with the municipality
Provide the necessary documents for permitting projects
Coordinate and track permits as they are processed
Create traffic control plans, work zone site plans, and permit plans
Coordinate with the property owner to create a Building Access Agreement

Construction of the project
You’ll need to:
Create the physical path Outside Plant, which may include directional drilling/boring, trenching, and aerial
Creating the physical path Inside Plant, including installing telecom racks, placing conduit on ladder racks/cable racks, and routing it in drop ceilings

Splicing into existing infrastructure
You’ll need to:
Splice one cable directly onto another or into a Fiber Distribution Panel

Consultation, engineering & construction, consolidated

Each of these steps has its own nuances and complications. Additionally, each of these steps relies onevery other step to progress smoothly. Errors and delays in one phase lead to delays in the other phases.When you have different parties involved, they each have to protect their own bottom line. This means their immediate goals and interests don’t always align. Also consider that the lack of familiarity between parties leads to miscommunication, which leads to errors, which lead to waste and delay.

Waeco’s goal is to simplify the process and minimize your involvement. Not only does this save you hassle, time and money, it speeds up the project. The scope of telecoms installations is actually reduced when you choose a turnkey package.

Our team has experience with every aspect of telecom needs, and will help you answer important questions like:
-where do I tie into the existing infrastructure?
-which areas of my property should I target, and which pathways can the network cables follow?
-how much will it cost to permit, design, and construct?
-how long will a certain network design take to complete?

​We’ll help you make the most informed decision you can, and then help you execute accordingly. Your project will progress rapidly and place minimal demand on you. When you bring on a turnkey package, there’s no need to coordinate between different parties with different interests. Everybody involved is aligned under the same goal --- a streamlined process that minimizes waste, downtime, miscommunication and error.
