Site Construction through Post Integration

We believe that our Construction Managers involvement from the inception of a project allows us to provide our clients with a seamless, faster build time and also affords us the opportunity to competitively price our services. The direct day-to-day management with the Project Manager and involvement on all levels from issues with leasing to A&E management allows us to proactively troubleshoot before we get to the site.

NSS specializes in communication tower construction, antenna installation, structural upgrades, rooftop structures, equipment shelters and complete TURNKEY site solutions. We have crews on our staff that are dedicated specifically to services needed outside of a project so we can tailor a crew to our client’s specific need. We offer full service 24/7 maintenance and emergency services in case of storms, power outages and any other needs that may arise.

Our Construction staff has undergone comprehensive training and everyone has a relevant educational background. Our core team of Construction Managers collectively have over 30 years of experience. NSS has several full construction crews with extensive installation and climbing experience. We pride ourselves in maintaining a safety program that our staff continually undergoes additional training for. All this expertise provides our clients with a highly skilled and diverse construction team.

Tower Erection

Whether you’re installing a Rooftop Structure, a Guyed, Monopole or Self-Supporting Tower, or another other tower structure, our staff of licensed and trained professionals performs every installation to customer and manufacture specifications. Our crew members are trained and certified in design drawing evaluation, site preparation, and field assembly. Equipped with the latest tools and equipment we ensure the installation is done accurately and efficiently.

Rooftop Structures

Rooftop mounted antenna installations are generally found in densely populated areas and can serve as an economical alternative to creating a dedicated structure in an impractical location. Northeast Site Solutions uses the latest innovations in rooftop tower designs insuring minimal intrusion to the host building while maximum performance from the installation.

Stealth Concealment

With today’s “green” mindset, more and more industries are moving towards echo-friendly and nature based, esthetically designed construction. Northeast Site Solutions supplies and installs standard and custom concealment products as well as unique integrations to solve any challenging installation scenario.

Shelters

Lightweight aluminum keeps your equipment safe from the elements, heavier weight aluminum adds a deeper layer of protection from higher winds and more severe weather. Steel shelters and Explosion proof aluminum shelters can be equipped with interior air-lock rooms containing purge systems which prevent unwanted or harmful vapors from entering the main equipment room.

Northeast Site Solutions can custom design and build any type shelter in a wide range of sizes, configuration and color for almost any application. In addition, we can integrate the customer owned equipment into this product, creating a complete turnkey solution.

Structural Modifications & Reinforcement

Northeast Site Solutions provides Structural Modification and Reinforcement services designed to restore or fortify areas of weathered or damaged telecom structures. NSS also performs a full-climb condition assessment prior to designing or recommending any modification or reinforcement. This level of due-diligence ensures a proper design and implementation.

NSS also provides Structural Analysis per: The Structural Standard for Antenna Supporting Structures and Antennas (TIA-222-G) which requires a structural analysis to be performed when a tower experiences one or more of the following changes:

Change in appurtenance configuration (includes installation of DTV, FM, or wireless communication antennas)
Structural modification
Change in serviceability requirements
Change in the structure classification to a higher class.

NSS provides a wide array of Structural Modification & Reinforcement services including:

Guy wire replacement and initial tension adjustment
Vertical pipe leg grouting & reinforcing
Diagonal and horizontal bracing replacement
Mid-bay redundant bracing installation
Emergency guy anchor replacement for corroded anchor arms
Repair of damaged connection gussets
Replacement of deficient connection bolts with new high strength bolts
Installation and replacement of torque arms to reduce twist and sway deflections
Installation of temporary frames to brace damaged tower sections
Stiffener weldments for monopole base plates
Modifications to foundations at tower base and guy anchors
Installation of new sections to extend tower height
Fabrication of mounting frames for the installation of Digital Television (DTV) antennas

Sweep Testing

Sweep testing is a method used to test and verify the characteristics of a cable or device across a range of frequencies. Sweep testing is also a way of verifying system integration and performance of the antennas. By interpreting test sweep test results, we can quickly determine if the installation meets the desired performance specifications

Each tower crew is supplied with Anritsu site master test gear to make accurate and precise measurements in return loss/VSWR and distant-to-fault measurements. Our crews also perform other inspections to detect problems before they manifest into costly repairs and/or outages.

Pullout Strength Testing

Pullout Strength Testing methods are generally used to determination of the pullout strength of anchors or other mounting inserts embedded into hardened bases such as concrete, metal or rock. Measurements are taken to confirm the force required to pullout an embedded anchor or insert and the attached base fragment test specimen or structure.

Northeast Site Solutions has a full array of hydraulic testing equipment used to perform various Pullout Strength Testing procedures adhering to ATSM Standards or as specified by the assigned Engineer.

Tower Mapping

Keeping track of your Tower & Antenna inventory can be a daunting process. Some items included in our field surveys and reports include:
