Data Collection & Joint Use Make-Ready Field Support

Joint Use Audits

Joint use is one of the most demanding and detail-driven field tasks in the utility space. We help utilities and engineering partners get accurate, complete data for make-ready engineering and permitting.

Joint Use Audit Services Include:

• Attachment inventory (telecom, fiber, cable, wireless)
• Unauthorized / unpermitted attachment identification
• Clearance measurements at pole, mid-span, road crossings, and conflict points
• Riser, anchor, guy, and down-guy documentation
• Cabinet, riser, and equipment verification
• Pole tagging and asset ID confirmation
• NESC-related observations
• Recording existing damage or compromised structures
• Identifying overloaded poles for engineering analysis
• Detailed photosets for every structure

All data is formatted to plug straight into make-ready engineering workflows.

Make-Ready Engineering Field Support (Pre-Design)

We specialize in the boots-on-the-ground work required before engineering begins.

Not engineering. Not modeling.

Just precise, dependable field data.

Pre-Design Support Includes:

• Clearance, spacing, and height measurements
• Identifying violations and conflicts
• Documenting field conditions impacting make-ready work
• Locating poles requiring replacement or reinforcement
• Hardware, conductor, and equipment verification
• Missing or incorrect tags
• Mid-span clearances and attachments
• Safe access, surface conditions, and constructability notes

Your designers get clean, accurate data that eliminates redesigns and field corrections.

High-Accuracy Data Collection

Our teams collect full structure, equipment, and route attributes so engineers can model, design, and plan confidently.

Data Collection Includes:

• Pole height, class, species, and condition
• Attachment heights and configurations
• Span lengths, angles, and wire counts
• Guying and anchor verification
• Mid-span measurements
• Equipment inventory on poles and pads
• GPS-verified structure locations
• Full photosets with consistent labeling

Platforms We Support:

• KatapultPro
• IKE
• ESRI Field Maps
• Survey123
• Fulcrum
• Custom client platforms

We match your workflow exactly as you need it.

Field Walkdowns & Engineering Verification

We verify real-world conditions ahead of design and construction so your team doesn't have to guess.

Walkdowns Include:

• Route and circuit verification
• Pole and equipment checks
• Obstruction and conflict identification
• Overhead and underground transition points
• Clearance and spacing checks
• Surface conditions and access notes
• Construction feasibility for proposed paths
• Underground verification for proposed fiber routes, including:
  • Checking constructability
  • Marking driveway and road crossings
  • Identifying other utilities and obstacles
  • Handhole, pedestal, and vault placement feasibility
  • Boring, trenching, or plowing suitability

Reliable field intelligence prevents surprises later.

Address, Service, and Meter Verification

We confirm customer, service, and premise details to keep engineering and GIS aligned with reality.

Verification Includes:

• Address confirmation and GPS matching
• Meter and service point verification
• Customer premise identification
• Multi-unit and complex mapping
• Drop routing notes
• Photo documentation and access notes

Great for AMI projects, fiber deployments, and distribution upgrades.

GIS Mapping & Asset Verification

We clean up and validate asset data for utilities and engineering groups.

Deliverables Include:

• GPS-verified coordinates
• Full asset attribute sets
• Photosets of each structure
• Notes for missing, mislabeled, or mismapped assets
• GIS-ready datasets that integrate cleanly with your system

Perfect for migrations, corrections, or system updates.
