From the search ring to the wireless-site drawing package.

Odiscom supports Nextlink Internet with site acquisition, tower-site construction documents, structural engineering coordination and environmental-screening support. The work connects property feasibility with the information needed to design, review and deliver wireless infrastructure.

Selected Nextlink assignments

Multi-state site acquisition

Site searches and candidate screening

One 2026 assignment covers nine search rings across eight states: Iowa, Kansas, Wyoming, Illinois, Indiana, Texas, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. The work translates operator search areas into documented candidate comparisons.

  • Search-ring review, parcel research and candidate identification
  • Ownership, access, zoning, terrain, power and existing-structure screening
  • Ranked candidates, alternatives, unresolved items and location-approval handoffs
  • Landowner and lease coordination within separately authorized milestones

Self-supporting tower sites

Tower-site construction documents

The November 2026 Gatesville package is a 16-page coordinated set containing Odiscom site, equipment, electrical and grounding sheets together with the project’s tower drawings.

  • Overall and enlarged site plans and facility elevations
  • Equipment-cabinet, cable-tray and installation-interface details
  • Electrical site plan, power and grounding documentation
  • Drawing revisions aligned with Nextlink review comments and specialist designs

Towers and existing structures

Structural analysis and field-data coordination

Our engineering-team experience includes Nextlink tower structural analysis, with current assignments also involving existing-structure mapping and foundation/geotechnical coordination.

  • Review of proposed antenna and radio loading against existing structure information
  • Coordination of tower, grain-leg and foundation mapping with specialist field providers
  • Structural analysis and engineering-review deliverables within the assigned scope
  • Existing drawings, field records and geotechnical information reconciled for engineering

Wireless-site environmental coordination

NEPA screening support

Nextlink project records include NEPA screening reports and checklists for sites in Texas and Louisiana, along with additional current screening assignments.

  • Site-information and environmental-review package coordination
  • Screening reports, checklists and supporting project documentation
  • Coordination with the operator and environmental specialists for assigned requirements
  • Open-item tracking and revisions as project information develops

Examples span separate assignments and delivery stages. Search candidates remain subject to operator acceptance. Coordinated drawing packages include specialist drawings; the historical structural report was prepared by Jacob Goralski, P.E., through his engineering practice alongside Odiscom.

Wireless deployment has more than one engineering handoff.

A usable site needs the right location, access, utility interfaces, structure information and coordinated drawings. Odiscom scopes those workstreams with the operator and keeps the open decisions visible through engineering and review.
