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.
