A Proven Partner for Utilities
Powering Scalable Infrastructure Development
As investment in power and communications infrastructure accelerates—driven by grid modernization, system hardening, and the rapid expansion of fiber broadband—utilities are under increasing pressure to plan, manage, and execute large-scale network upgrades. Delivering these projects efficiently while maintaining safety, compliance, and billing integrity requires resources and expertise that many utilities don’t have in-house.
Alpine Utility Services provides turnkey solutions for joint-use engineering and permitting, asset inventories, and administrative support, helping utilities scale both communications and power-related buildouts with confidence. Backed by extensive field experience and expert engineering, Alpine enables faster execution without compromising control or reliability.
Joint Use Permit Administration
Alpine has processed millions of pole attachment requests and has proudly served its customers for over 40 years. Our value-add permit process gives our customers peace of mind on joint-use attachments with 100% of our services paid for by attachers.
✔️ Engineering 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.
Joint Use Pole Audits
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
