Strand Map Design and Drafting, Guying Pole CAD Drawing

Strand Map Design and Drafting Services

Strand map design and drafting are essential components in the planning and deployment of aerial communication and utility networks. These services involve detailed mapping and documentation of structural components such as poles, pedestals, strands, anchors, and grounds. Accurate strand mapping ensures smooth network rollout, regulatory compliance, and ease of maintenance.

Our strand map drafting services are tailored to deliver clarity, precision, and scalability for both new deployments and existing infrastructure upgrades.

Streamlining Strand Map Drafting Through Advanced Technical Workflows

Discover how Polosoft streamlines strand map drafting with advanced technical workflows—boosting accuracy, efficiency, and project turnaround like never before.

Placement of Strand and Facilities

The foundation of strand map drafting begins with accurate placement. We use field data, GIS layers, and engineering standards to place critical infrastructure components like poles, pedestals, anchors, guys, and grounding elements. Each element is positioned with precision to reflect real-world locations, topography, and existing structures.

Strand Symbols and Drafting Standards

To maintain consistency and readability, our drafting follows industry-standard strand symbols. Each device - be it a pole, pedestal, anchor, or grounding point is represented using universally recognized symbology. This allows engineers, contractors, and field teams to easily interpret the maps and work with confidence.

Utility Integration

Strand maps are not just visual references, they integrate directly with utility data and regulations. We align our design output with utility-specific standards, whether it’s electric, telecom, or broadband infrastructure. Our team ensures compatibility with utility mapping systems and supports seamless integration with GIS and asset management platforms.

Strand Bill of Materials (BOM)

An accurate Strand BOM (Bill of Materials) is essential for budgeting, procurement, and scheduling. Our drafting service includes the automatic generation of BOMs that list all components required for a project—cables, poles, anchors, straps, hardware, and more.

GPS Integration

Our strand mapping services incorporate GPS data for precise geo-referencing of each facility. We use GPS-enabled field data collection tools to accurately locate poles, anchors, and other infrastructure elements. This allows for seamless integration with GIS platforms, asset tracking systems, and mobile applications.

Unloading and Data Processing

The “unload” phase refers to importing and processing field-collected data into drafting platforms. We handle the conversion of field data (from GPS tools or mobile apps) into CAD or GIS tools, ensuring accuracy and alignment with base maps. This phase is critical for transforming raw survey data into usable strand map layouts.

Strand Map Permitting

losoft Technologies offers Pole Strand Map Permitting Design and Drafting services that ensure seamless integration with regulatory compliance standards. Their solutions are tailored to support telecom and utility companies in planning and designing pole and strand infrastructure, providing accurate maps and detailed documentation required for permitting.

Review Functions and QA/QC

Before final delivery, every strand map undergoes a detailed review process. This includes visual inspections, cross-checking against field notes, and running quality assurance checks for geometry, symbology, and material counts.
