Civil Telecommunication Capabilities

ACCESS ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR

Access roads are essential components of tower sites as they provide cost-effective vehicular access to the compound, tower, and anchors even in remote or hard-to-reach locations. The access roads are typically covered with crushed rock or gravel and are necessary for transporting heavy machinery, materials, and personnel. If left unmaintained, they can be challenging to navigate, especially in adverse weather conditions. What good is a 24/7/365 access guarantee if your carriers can’t even reach the tower due to inadequate access roads?

Culvert Installation and Replacement

A culvert is a structure that allows water to flow under transportation infrastructure including access roads, trails, driveways or similar paths. The culvert is a key component to your water and drainage management system. The culvert structure is typically made of plastic, concrete, or steel. Culverts are used to control water flow, prevent flooding, and maintain the integrity of transportation infrastructure. Let’s face it, one bad culvert can shut your entire site down, we’ve seen that very scenario.

Compound Fencing, Gates, Guy Anchor Bollards and Cattle Barrier Installation and Repair

In the telecom industry, the security and integrity of equipment and facilities are of great importance. That’s why we offer compound and guy anchor fencing, bollards, gates, and livestock barriers. Various material options such as chain-link, barbed wire, composite, corrugated metal, and solid wall are available. Every project begins with a call to 811 to request utility markings. Even after utility marking has been completed, Reiss Earthworks is persistent to dig cautiously to avoid carrier outages, which is of the utmost importance.

Erosion Control & Revegetation

As environmentally conscious contractors we take erosion control seriously on our construction sites. The first line of defense in erosion prevention and revegetation is consciously minimizing disruption. That means planning construction activities carefully to avoid unneeded disturbance. This planning is standard practice for Reiss Earthworks and will be implemented on every project. Uncontrolled erosion can lead to soil loss, sediment runoff, and damage to nearby waterways. Erosion control is not just about compliance, but also about protecting your investment.

Waste Remediation Services

At Reiss Earthworks we plan for waste management by planning and identifying the types and quantities of waste that will be generated during the project. This helps determine the best methods for handling and disposing of the waste properly. By implementing effective waste management strategies, we aim to minimize the environmental impact of construction projects and contribute to sustainable practices in the industry. Typically, our sites include recyclable waste, non-recycle waste, and organics. If another telecom subcontractor has different values and you are left with a mess, yes, we can clean that up for you!

Easement Vegetation Control

If you’re looking for a safe and effective way to control vegetation around your tower sites without resorting to harmful herbicides, Reiss Earthworks has you covered. Our herbicide-free, ground-to-sky vegetation control service provides a natural solution that is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

Water Management and Drainage Solutions

Improperly managed or misdirected water can wreak havoc on your access road and compound. It can cause asset damage, unsafe access, erosion, and a host of other problems. While water issues are quite common, it’s always best to discuss possible “root cause” solutions as soon as they’re discovered. This involves identifying the root of the issue and working upstream to develop a plan of action. At our company, we offer a range of measures, including grading, drainage systems, culvert installation, access road water bars, ditches, and swale excavation, to achieve the desired water flow.

Erosion Repair

Erosion is the natural process that occurs over time by which soil and rock are worn away by forces such as wind, water, ice, and gravity. Erosion can be a serious problem for tower sites, usually the access roads suffer the most as they typically lead to the tower on the top of a hill. If you’ve noticed erosion on your site, act as quickly as possible. Once erosion has started it only gets worse, don’t wait until it becomes a costly problem. Finding the root cause is the first step to a solution. Working “upstream” we can define the issues and determine solutions.
