Small Cell, DAS & Tower Structural Analysis
Densification puts radios on street furniture, in buildings and on structures that were never designed to carry them. We do the design and the structural verification that makes those attachments defensible.
Concrete deliverables, not vague promises.
Small cell
- Node design drawings and construction packages
- Pole, streetlight and street furniture mounting design
- Power, fiber and backhaul routing design
- Jurisdiction-specific permit and aesthetic compliance packages
- Structural verification of the host structure
Distributed antenna systems
- In-building DAS design and antenna layouts
- Headend and remote unit placement
- Coaxial and fiber distribution design
- Link budgets and coverage documentation
- Public safety DAS design to local code requirements
Tower structural
- Structural analysis to TIA-222 current revision
- Mount analysis and mount mapping
- Modification design where capacity is exceeded
- Foundation verification
- Analysis reports formatted to carrier submission standards
Site photographs, RF design output, existing tower drawings and prior analyses, mount inventories, or a proposed equipment list against a site address. For structural work, the more complete the historical record of the structure, the fewer conservative assumptions we apply.
Codes & standards
TIA-222 for tower and mount analysis, NEC for power design, NFPA 1221 and IFC requirements for public safety DAS, and carrier-specific submission standards where the client works to one.
Full service engineering design. Delivered remotely.
- 01
Start with a bounded request
Send what you have — sketches, GIS/CAD files, pole data, spreadsheets. A named engineer reviews it and confirms a scoping timetable.
- 02
Agree scope, standards & criteria
Work begins once a written SOW sets deliverables, assumptions, standards and who owns each engineering decision.
- 03
Produce with visible controls
Assumptions, RFIs and progress are logged as they happen, not buried inside the drawing set.
- 04
Independent QA & handoff
A second reviewer checks the package against the SOW before a revision-tracked transmittal ships.
Carriers and neutral hosts on densification programs
Tower owners processing colocation applications
Wireless contractors delivering turnkey site packages
Building owners required to provide in-building coverage
Does tower structural analysis require a PE seal?
For carrier and tower owner submissions, almost always. We produce the model, analysis and report; sealing is by a licensed engineer. Confirm the requirement at scoping and we'll structure the deliverable for their review.
Do you do RF design?
No. We work from RF output (coverage objectives, equipment lists, antenna specifications) and design the physical, structural and electrical implementation around it.
Can you handle colocation volume?
Yes. Mount mapping and structural analysis across a site portfolio is repetitive, method-driven work suited to distributed delivery, and volume pricing applies.
Have a small cell, das & tower structural analysis project to scope?
A sketch, a photo, a spreadsheet: send what you have and we’ll take it from there.
