Joint-Use Attachment Solutions for Utilities
For Utilities
As American infrastructure investment surges, particularly in fiber broadband connectivity, utilities are facing unprecedented demand for joint-use attachments on their poles. Fast and efficient processing of these requests while maintaining safety and joint-use billing integrity requires substantial resources not possessed by many utilities.
Alpine Communication offers utilities a no-cost turnkey joint-use pole analysis and permitting solution that…
promotes grid safety and reliability by adhering to all regulatory guidelines through expert engineering design and pole assessment,
alleviates administrative burden and ensures joint-use billing integrity for pole owners
uses proprietary software to process and track attachers’ high-volume requests and provide transparency for pole owners and attachers.
We are currently the exclusive permit administrator for more than 2 million utility poles across the U.S., and we’re ready to take on yours.
Joint-Use Permit Administration
at No Cost to You
Alpine has processed hundreds of thousands of pole attachment requests and has proudly served its customers for over 40 years. Our value-add permit process gives our customers piece of mind on joint-use attachments with 100% of our services paid for by attachers.
✔️ Our review team ensures compliance with National Electrical Safety Code (NESC®) rules for clearance, placement, grounding, and more.
✔️ Our wind loading analysis certifies poles’ ability to withstand severe weather that can down power lines and create devastating wildfires and electrical hazards.
✔️ Our easy-to-use proprietary Permit Tracker allows pole owners and attachers to track permits’ progress in real-time.
✔️ We handle the design of the make-ready work order.
✔️ We notify the utility of new billable attachments so that you never miss out on licensee fees.
✔️ You avoid the headaches and expense associated with administering third-party attachers.
Without consistent oversight of your joint-use poles, your pole network could be plagued by unauthorized and/or unsafe attachments. This puts infrastructure at risk, making the power grid unreliable and potentially unsafe for the public and power utility employees.
Alpine’s Pole Audit team conducts in-person fieldwork for utilities’ entire networks and in doing so:
Identifies unauthorized and/or unsafe attachments
Digitizes third-party attachments and power equipment for enhanced asset management tracking
Recovers lost revenue through back-billing and assures collection of ongoing joint-use licensing fees
Capture Revenue with Joint-Use Pole Audits
