Company

Overview

1964 Founded

Year Established

The company was established in 1964, marking the beginning of its journey in telecom construction services.

Over decades it has grown into a full-service general contractor—handling design, OSP builds, splicing, activation and product distribution.
Their financial model is privately held and turnkey—covering major telecom builds while supplying materials from top manufacturers.
Regular projects include long-haul fiber and coax installations in rural and urban areas, trenching through diverse terrains, and utility infrastructure.
They specialize in telecommunications network construction, heavy civil utilities (water, sewer, power), and underground site preparation.
A standout: offering both engineering/design solutions (CAD mapping, OTDR testing) and heavy equipment work like horizontal drilling on energy-sector sites.
They operate as a one-stop shop—from architecture through acceptance—frequently serving hospitals, offices, schools and broadband providers.
Privately led, management continuity (Michaels family) shapes their long-standing, relationship-driven culture.
