Frequently Asked Questions

What types of fiber construction does Richesin Engineering perform?

We perform directional boring (HDD), open-cut trenching, aerial fiber on new and existing pole lines, conduit installation, hand-holes and vaults, fiber pull and racking, and full outside plant fiber construction from design through completion.

Do you handle permitting for fiber construction projects?

Yes. We manage all aspects of permitting including ROW permits, utility crossing permits, environmental clearances, railroad crossing agreements, and tribal coordination. Permitting expertise is critical for on-time project delivery.

Can you build fiber in rural or remote areas?

Yes — rural fiber construction is a core specialty. We have built fiber in remote Alaska, rural Oregon, and island communities in Hawaii. We understand the unique challenges of limited crew access, difficult terrain, and long haul logistics.

Do you offer turnkey fiber construction services?

Yes. We provide turnkey fiber construction including design, permitting, construction, splicing, OTDR testing, and as-built documentation. Having one contractor responsible for the entire project eliminates coordination gaps and accountability issues.

What factors affect the cost of a fiber construction project?
