Fiber work is a discipline our leadership learned in the field before moving into linework. Running ADSS, pulling overlashers, and fusion splicing are skills Ryan McDonough developed early in his career.
The most valuable fiber work increasingly happens on utility infrastructure — ADSS on distribution poles, SCADA communications for substations and solar facilities, fiber backbone for utility grid modernization, and private municipal networks. McDonough Electric executes all of it from a single crew without subcontracting the fiber expertise.
