Civils Infrastructure

Civils & Cabinet Build Projects

Enabling Connectivity Through Expert Street Furniture Delivery

Prestige Optical was appointed to deliver a large-scale Civils and Cabinet Build Programme supporting full-fibre broadband delivery across a series of New Build Developments. As the demand for seamless connectivity at the point of occupancy increases, this programme focused on the critical street-level infrastructure that powers entire networks—fibre cabinets.

Challenge

Historically, developers handled communication cabinets, but shifting responsibilities and off-site placement trends transferred this back to broadband providers. The challenge was a streamlined solution for practical cabinet installation, proper PIA network connection, and alignment with build timelines for on-time homeowner connectivity.

Solution

Prestige Optical implemented a proactive strategy for powered, connected, and service-ready infrastructure:

Early Cabinet Deployment: Prioritising timely street cabinet installation to facilitate upstream and downstream fibre connections.
Extensive Civils Work: Trenching, ducting, and chamber connections linking cabinets to the PIA network.
Stakeholder Coordination: Managing communication with DNOs, councils, developers, and internal teams.
Material & Power Readiness: Ensuring fully equipped and energised cabinets ready for ISP equipment.

Delivering Success

Our end-to-end coordination and civils expertise ensured timely and developer-friendly cabinet deployment:

Pre-Occupancy Installation: Cabinets installed before homeowners moved in, enabling on-time fibre activation.
Permitting Compliance: Adherence to all permitting regulations and reinstatement standards.
High-Quality Builds: Consistent safety and quality ensured through internal and client audits.
Efficient Material Flow: Smooth project progression due to effective material procurement and delivery.
Aligned Go-Live: Infrastructure ready for service at site handover, guaranteeing immediate homeowner connectivity.
