From the make-ready survey that unlocks pole permits to the subscriber drop that activates service — ClearSpan Infrastructure covers every phase of the broadband build lifecycle. We understand ISP quality standards, volume production requirements, and the documentation every subgrantee and prime contractor needs to stay compliant.
Top-tier broadband contractors don't just pull cable — they manage the entire technical lifecycle. Here's the full scope of what ClearSpan Infrastructure brings to ISP and broadband programs.
Katapult Pro, IKE GPS, and O-CALC pole attachment surveys and loading analysis. We deliver permit-ready make-ready scopes your pole owners and engineers accept on first submission.
Aerial mainline lashing, HDD boring, open-cut trenching, conduit placement, and full splice-to-test turn-up. NESC-compliant construction with as-builts delivered at closeout.
High-volume aerial and underground drop programs at ISP-grade quality. Full ONT installation, inside wiring, CPE config, and address-level documentation on every completed drop.
ArcGIS, ESRI Field Maps, Fulcrum, and IQGEO-formatted field data collection and as-built creation. GIS-ready deliverables that integrate directly into your network management systems.
End-to-end optical loss testing, OTDR traces on every span and splice point, Fluke certification on copper, and carrier handoff documentation packages. Nothing turns up without test records.
Davis-Bacon certified payroll, prevailing wage compliance, BEAD subgrantee documentation, and weekly reporting formats accepted by state broadband offices and NTIA.
Rapid aerial and underground plant restoration after storms, accidents, and critical outages. FEMA PA documentation from mobilization day one. OTDR-verified on all emergency work.
Right-of-way permit preparation, utility notification coordination, municipal permit applications, and ongoing permit compliance monitoring throughout active construction programs.
BEAD programs and USDA ReConnect awards are driving the largest rural broadband construction cycle in history. Contractors who can handle the full lifecycle — survey through turn-up through documentation — are the ones getting repeat work from ISPs and winning spots on prime contractor teams.
Rural broadband builds expose every weakness in a contractor's documentation, compliance, and quality systems. Here are the four issues ISP operations teams deal with most — and how ClearSpan Infrastructure addresses them.
Many contractors complete the physical work but deliver closeout packages that fail ISP QC — missing OTDR traces, incomplete splice logs, no GPS coordinates, inconsistent address mapping. The ISP has to send someone back out.
Every ClearSpan Infrastructure closeout includes full OTDR documentation per span, GPS-tagged records, splice logs by closure, and address-level photos formatted to your QA template. We don't close a job until the package is complete.
Field surveys that skip O-CALC loading analysis or use the wrong Katapult workflow produce make-ready submissions that pole owners reject or send back for revision — adding weeks to permit timelines.
Our surveyors are trained on Katapult Pro and IKE GPS in the context of actual joint use permit processes. We know what pole owners require, and we format data to pass on first submission.
BEAD and ReConnect programs require Davis-Bacon compliance with certified weekly payroll, fringe benefit tracking, and proper worker classification. Contractors who aren't set up for this get disqualified or fined.
We maintain certified payroll capability, proper prevailing wage determination processes, and weekly reporting formats accepted by state broadband offices. Davis-Bacon compliance is built into our operations.
High-volume drop programs often degrade in quality as production pressure increases — crews cutting corners on inside wiring, skipping CPE verification, or leaving sites without subscriber sign-off.
Our QA process is tied to production, not separate from it. Supervisor field checks, standardized photo requirements, and daily production reporting maintain quality at volume without slowing the program.
ClearSpan Infrastructure maintains the documentation, registrations, and compliance posture that ISP vendor qualification processes require. SAM.gov registration, insurance certificates, and compliance documentation are available on request for procurement teams.
