End-to-end telecommunications infrastructure, nationwide

Telecommunications is the work Cannon was founded on in 1985: turn-key design and installation of voice, video and data networks for carriers, utilities, federal and local agencies and school districts, from engineering a fiber backbone across a state to installing fiber to the home, and every facet of outside and inside plant construction in between. Crews work from offices in Washington, Arizona, California and Utah and on federal installations nationwide and across the Pacific.

I know when I send a Cannon Construction crew to do the job I can count on quality people and quality equipment to do a professional job from start to completion.

Dave Lemke, Construction Supervisor, Viacom Cablevision, Tacoma

Thank you for sending a crew out yesterday to put the pull line in the conduit. The two of them were determined to get the job done. They were both very hard workers and cared about the quality of their work. Both were very professional people.

Wexler Property Group, Snohomish, WA

The drilling team was great to work with and I'm still impressed with a 1,000' pull back in 5 hours.

Project Engineer, City of Snoqualmie

We wanted to impart our gratitude for your prompt response in allocating and dispatching crews to assist our Comcast teams in restoring service to our customers after the bomb cyclone storm. We greatly appreciate the long hours put in, especially over the Thanksgiving holiday.
