Draftech International's engineering team is one of the largest MBE-certified OSP engineering organizations in the country. Our engineers work every phase of fiber deployment — from feasibility and HLD through field survey, LLD, construction packages, and as-built documentation.
Our engineers specialize in FTTH HLD and LLD, GIS-driven network planning, pole loading analysis, make-ready engineering, and construction package development for programs of all sizes.
Deep experience in ROW permitting, NESC compliance, railroad crossing applications, utility coordination, and BEAD subgrantee engineering documentation across all 50 U.S. states.
End-to-end field capability — strand mapping, aerial plant assessment, field survey data collection, OTDR testing, and the ground-truth data capture that makes design accurate and construction change orders rare.
Proficient across the full OSP design software stack — AutoCAD, MicroStation, ArcGIS, QGIS, O-Calc Pro, SPIDAcalc, and the fiber network design platforms used by Tier-1 carriers and rural ISPs.
Dedicated BEAD compliance engineering — HLD documentation, subgrantee compliance checklists, as-built GIS standards, and network acceptance deliverables aligned with NTIA and state program requirements.
Draftech International holds Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certification — qualifying our programs for MBE participation requirements in federal broadband funding programs including BEAD.
