Telecom Infrastructure design

Working closely with the project management and construction teams, our dedicated design department manages all stages of the design process. When required, we enhance our activities through our robust and approved supply chain, utilising industry experts and allowing for scalability.

At project level, our dedicated design and structural functions collaborate closely with the project managers and acquisition, civil, rigging and electrical teams at all stages of design development. This ensures all stakeholder input is considered and approved, end-to-end accountability is maintained, and liability for the overall design is retained by us.

We’re experts in designing to strict planning requirements, with a particular focus placed on thorough reviews of planning proposals by our acquisition specialists, at pre-planning and planning stage. Our specialists advise and support the design team during the planning stage and as the design solution is developed.

We implement early engagement with the structural team and third parties to minimise delays and address areas of further investigation at the earliest reasonable point.

We use our defined internal governance and three-step review process to underpin our right first time approach. All site design projects undergo these processes, resulting in a 94% success rate in designs accepted and approved by our clients at first issue.

This process ensures active involvement and contributions from all key areas of expertise within our business, and that construction details contained within the site design have been approved by our specialists in construction, rigging and electrical at prebuild stage.

Feedback obtained from these reviews is channelled through our dedicated project design manager. Any required adjustments to the design are actioned and closed out via our internal design team, prior to finalisation and issuing the proposed design documents to the client.

Our large in-house team, supplemented by our specialist suppliers, cover all elements of the design process. This comprehensive approach enables us to consistently deliver a successful and value-engineered solution, every time.

Key contributing factors to quality design include:

• Robust processes and policies
• Product knowledge and experience
• Regulatory knowledge and application
• Intercompany collaboration and knowledge sharing
• Sufficient capacity to deliver a quality product within SLA
• Correct skill sets within the QA team ensuring right first time
