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.
Outside plant, inside plant and design-build
Carriers and network owners bring Cannon routes, buildings and whole programs: placement and splicing in the right of way, structured cabling inside the walls, and the survey, design and permitting that come before either.

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.

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.

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