Program Management - Construction Management

Within the area of program and construction management, ARCOR telecommunication specialists are well-versed in accurate scheduling, logistics capabilities, and access to superior global resources -- all geared towards producing high quality and predictable outcomes for your projects.

Our team possess a depth of knowledge in network design and development experience, with several key members having held previous positions with telecom carriers, LECs, OEMs, and other service providers.

Our leaders work closely with each other, ensuring your site is designed appropriately and construction starts as soon as the Notice to Proceed (NTP) is issued.

Construction

Serving as your construction advocate, we can help ensure your telecommunications project is built per your specifications, schedule and budget. With our sophisticated site-tracking database we monitor project progress closely and consistently.

ARCOR construction services technicians are manufacturer certified to install, program, and decommission the following project types:

DAS & small cell
Fiber optics
Microwave systems
Cell site construction – tower & civil

Installation and commissioning activities can significantly affect existing equipment and networks. ARCOR addresses these impacts by providing skilled management and technicians to provide equipment engineering, component installation, and equipment commissioning.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, we perform thorough decommissioning work beginning with a pre-decom site survey walk, followed by strategic mobilization of the decommissiong team activities, and finally to restoration services to meet the lease termination agreements.

In addition to our own qualified staff, ARCOR also has a global network of general contractors, A&E firms, surveyors, geotechnical, and environmental firms under contract and ready to work. There is no telecommunications project too big or detail too small for us.
