Tower Sales & Turn-Key Tower Construction

Nello Corporation

MapleNet specifies and builds towers from Nello Corporation.  In 2008, Nello Corporation presented MapleNet with the "One Year- One Mile" Award for selling and constructing a vertical mile of calendar steel in one calendar year.

Grounding

MapleNet grounds all towers according to the Motorola R56 Standards & Guideliness for Communications Sites.

Zoning & Approvals

Zoning research and approvals, as well as environmental and historic reviews are essential to a successful project.  MapleNet's monthly calendar includes, on average, about four zoning meetings and/or BZA hearings.    Approvals are typically one of the most drawn out and complicated phases of a project, and MapleNet can take on any aspect of the approval process.
