Aerial Fiber Construction

Nevantin Services builds aerial fiber plant — strand and lash, ADSS, make-ready construction, and aerial splicing — for ISPs, co-ops, and network operators across 12 states.

What We Do

Where poles already run, aerial construction is the fastest mile in fiber: our crews place strand, lash cable, and hang self-supporting ADSS on distribution and transmission corridors, then splice and test the plant in the air.

Make-ready is half the aerial battle. We perform pole-line make-ready construction — moving existing attachments to create code-compliant space — and coordinate the transfers so the build isn't hostage to someone else's schedule.

Strand-and-lash, overlash, and ADSS

Conventional aerial plant hangs a steel strand pole to pole and lashes the fiber to it; overlashing adds new cable to an existing lashed bundle — the cheapest aerial mile there is when the strand has capacity. ADSS (all-dielectric self-supporting) cable needs no strand and no bonding, which is why utilities specify it in and near the power space. We build all three, and the choice is usually made for you by pole class, clearances, and who owns the pole.

Make-ready and pole attachments

Every new attachment must fit National Electrical Safety Code clearances, which usually means moving what's already there. Our crews execute the make-ready work orders — lowering, raising, and transferring attachments — that turn an attachment license into buildable space. The regulatory side (who may attach, on what timeline, at what rate) varies by state and pole owner; our state guides cover the regimes where we build.

Aerial vs. underground, honestly

Aerial is faster and cheaper to build and easier to repair; underground is protected from weather and vehicles and often mandated in new developments. Most real networks are a hybrid, engineered span by span. The tradeoff is explained for the curious in our aerial vs. underground guide — and when the answer is underground, that's our drilling and utility construction practice.

Common Questions

Do you do make-ready construction?

Yes — lowering, raising, and transferring existing attachments to create compliant space, plus the pole transfers that follow a pole replacement.

Can you overlash to existing strand?

Yes, where the strand and pole loading allow. Overlashing is routinely the most economical way to add fiber on an existing aerial route.

Do you splice aerial plant?

Yes — our splicers work aerial closures from bucket trucks, and every splice is OTDR-tested and documented like any other segment of the plant.
