A ceiling tile project exposed a decade of unsupported cabling that now needs tracing, proper J-hook support, and separation from power and life-safety systems.

A new fiber plant was installed alongside the legacy copper system to provide dedicated phone, Wi-Fi, and video connectivity to 320 condo units.

Delivering fiber to 250 high-rise units meant staging roughly fourteen 300-foot cable runs in a cramped commercial kitchen before pulling them to the basement.

A surveillance-room remodel uncovered decades of abandoned cabling above the ceiling and behind the walls, giving us a chance to clear it out and start clean.

A customer-installed cable held in place with Scotch tape still passed qualification well above the touchscreen controller’s needs.

Final checks on a 96-strand fiber enclosure connecting four satellite buildings to the main building.
