MasTec’s experience with the U.S. military installations precedes World War II when the company installed telephone networks and electric distribution systems throughout the southern United States. Today, MasTec builds underground pathways and installs the latest-generation fiber-optic and copper telecommunications networks on military bases, providing a high-speed communications backbone for command and control, educational, training and administrative systems.

We have strengthened the communications backbones of Army, Navy and Air Force bases by:

• Designing and building an underground telecommunications pathway interconnecting more than 300 buildings at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas.
• Connecting 120 buildings at Barksdale AFB, LA, by trenching, directional boring and installing 150 miles of duct and fiber cable.
• Trenching, boring and installing fiber-optic backbone at China Lake weapons training facility for the Navy.
• Designing and building redundant, concrete-encased telecommunications pathways between a New Jersey Army base and a research facility.

MasTec’s strength results from our decades of working in the trenches installing networks. Unlike some companies that only provide project management while subcontracting the actual installation, MasTec provides complete end-to-end services for our customers. We have the depth and breadth of resources that enables us to simultaneously manage and execute multiple telecommunications projects on government facilities nationwide.

MasTec also works in partnership with leading government systems integrators operating under long-term Department of Defense ID/IQ delivery-order contracts to update information infrastructure at major Army, Air Force and Navy installations nationwide. These long-term projects marry MasTec’s quality conscious engineering and design, outside plant construction and premise wiring capabilities with our ability to simultaneously deploy to military installations and government facilities nationwide from our more than 200 U.S. locations.

MasTec crews and managers proactively adhere to the government’s rigorous construction standards. Because we reinforce these precise standards at all levels of our design-build teams and work closely with on-site government supervisors, we ensure completion of complex projects to exacting specifications, on time and on budget.
