National OnDemand played a critical role in helping Tri-County Electric Cooperative realize its ambitious goals with the TriCoLink project. From the outset, National demonstrated their commitment to the community and the project by quickly integrating into the local workforce, employing local contractors, and ensuring a strong presence within the area. Their ability to stay six months ahead of schedule, despite initial skepticism from local agencies about the feasibility of the project timeline, was a testament to their efficiency and dedication. National’s approach to community involvement and their seamless integration into the cooperative’s operations helped build trust and fostered a positive working relationship.
At National OnDemand, we provide complete fiber services from start to finish. Our team handles project management, permitting, aerial and underground construction, splicing, testing, and maintenance. We also respond fast when emergencies occur. Whether your project covers a large network or a small local area, our crews deliver dependable results with care and attention to detail.
We work with all construction methods, from strand and lash to ADSS and underground installation. Our crews build networks that are strong, scalable, and built to last. Beyond construction, we also manage drops and in-home installations, helping each customer get the best performance from their connection. With National OnDemand, you get a trusted partner focused on quality, speed, and results in every phase of your project.
Project Management
We do more than oversee construction and splicing. Our team helps prevent issues that projects can cause for local communities, governments, and utilities. We work closely with utility locating services to keep excavation safe and protect existing underground systems. Using our internal database, we track materials, workflows, and quality records to keep every step transparent and on schedule.
- Coordinate with utility locators for safe digging
- Track materials and progress through a central system
- Maintain clear documentation for quality control
Our project management team also builds lasting relationships with municipalities and utility providers to keep work moving smoothly. We handle permits, follow traffic plans, and communicate with city and utility officials to reduce delays and disruptions.
- Secure required permits quickly
- Comply with all local traffic and safety rules
- Stay in touch with local officials throughout the project
This approach helps us meet milestones and earn the trust of the communities we serve.
