Municipal & public agency broadband
For cities and counties within a day’s drive of Marietta, Waldron runs aerial and underground fiber construction, boring and splicing through crews it manages. As prime contractor, Waldron also designs the route and carries the city, county and Georgia DOT permits through approval. The work covers public safety networks, traffic and ITS conduit, and links between public buildings.
Overview
We are set up to be the single accountable party from the notice to proceed through the final as-built.
Waldron carries municipal work as prime: we design the route, take the permits through approval, manage the crews that place and splice the plant, and hand back drawings the city can actually maintain from.
We have worked in Georgia rights of way since 1982. That means the county permitting offices, the DOT encroachment process, the pole owners and the locate desks are known quantities.
