M&E Fiber Optics

M&E Fiber Optics crews just wrapped up a large solar site for a customer last week and are starting a new one for the same customer this week. Here are a few pictures from the site to showcase the type of build quality you deserve from a contract partner.

So proud of the team we have!!!

M&E Fiber Optics team knocking out some OPGW on a new substation build for a solar site we are currently building. Once we complete our testing our customer will be able to hook up the transmission lines and start pumping new clean energy into the grid.

The hacks strike again. This was a different contractor on a different project we are building then my post from yesterday. Can't stand seeing this plant destroyed by incompetence. Both these enclosures were originally built by our crews, and now are destroyed by the "other guys" shotty workmanship and lack of skills and pride.

Can't believe the provider continues to let them do this to their network. But hey, they are doing the splicing for slightly cheaper than we are, wonder how that's gonna work out when they get our bill for repairing this mess.

M&E Fiber Optics was called out to go look at a no-light call this morning on a location another contractor had built. This isnt the 1st one we have had to do on their work. They spliced it to the field side, which was one of many issues we found with this enclosure. One of our crews was able to re-splice everything to the feed side without distrupting service on the passthrough fibers. Happy with how it turned out considering what we had to work with was not ideal. Thankfully our customer is no longer using them to do anymore work on current or future projects. Sadly they are probably out there right now butchering someone else's brand new plant.

If you want to avoid problems like this on your buildout feel free to reach out to me and see what our team can do to ensure your network doesn't end up looking like this.

Getting all of our fleet protected in preparation for these harsh Ohio winters. These guys knocked it out of the park. Thank you Burnt Rubber Garage !!

Do you have an entire fleet of vehicles that you need undercoated before winter?

Not a problem!

Give us a call and we will coordinate times that won’t interfere with your team getting their work done. Our job is to keep your teams on the road taking care of your customers.

We recieved a no-light call from a customer of ours yesterday for a site we turned in over 7 months ago. They went to turn it up and weren't seeing connectivity between the Hub and site. After doing some OTDR testing we discovered 3 out of 6 fibers for the site were going about 1000ft short of our original tests. We looked back at our splice documents as well as our construction redlines and were able to pinpoint where we believed the damage to be. After inspecting the lines we discovered a squirrel chew in an 864ct cable going through a rear easement.

Thanks to our detailed records our crews were able to make quick work of finding the damage and coming up with a plan to repair the cable. Once we get customer approval to shift storage we will ringcut the damage and hopefully be able to repair the 3 broken fibers without disrupting the other live circuits in the 864ct.

We had a little lightning hit some 864 backbone yesterday that took down our ring. Miraculously they found a couple fibers that were good to get it back up until our customers construction crews could shift storage in order to make the repair. It took our team less than an hour to get the backbone and all sites back up once we got the cable into the trailer. Crazy what lightning can do to our fiber, I'm still shocked some fibers were still passing light.

Westward bound with a couple of crews to go kick off another solar site for one of our customers. Cant beat the camper life with all the traveling we have been doing this year.

This is the first time we have had this many M&E Fiber Optics crews in the same city, let alone the same state all year. We went out to dinner, and my brother had to bust out his drone and take some pictures.
