SERVING THE OSP INDUSTRY
OSP ENGINEERING EXPERTS
At Katapult Engineering, our lives revolve around utility pole data collection, design, and engineering. After years of frustration with the OSP industry and traditional data collection practices, we decided to re-write the book and build a new workflow from the ground up. Our comprehensive software and highly efficient collection workflow allows our team to process 1,000 or more poles each week. Because our methodology doesn’t require years of experience, teams can scale up as quickly as needed for high-volume projects.
Our software stack is diverse. Katapult Pro allows users around the world to use the Katapult method no matter the scope, while our application portal makes third-party attachment paper free and easier than ever.
If your team is feeling the pressure of FCC timelines, make ready disputes, or pole loading requirements, give our team a call. We have experience with NESC and GO 95 make ready engineering, loading in numerous PLA platforms, and collecting highly accurate data for every scope.
We’re located in the beautiful town of Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, just minutes away from the State Capitol and the historic battlefields of Gettysburg.

THE KATAPULT METHOD
Our team succeeds by employing a unique and effective methodology in the office and the field.
Through a company-wide commitment to innovation and a solid foundation in the systems and technologies that most efficiently accomplish our objectives, our team is equipped to:
Collect and process field data. Katapult Engineering has a long history of designing, collecting, processing, and delivering highly accurate OSP data.
Manage third party attachments. Our third party attachment portal allows attachers to sign up online, select the poles they need to attach to, and submit their applications. The portal tracks the entire process from data collection to construction completion, alerting your team along the way to make sure you hit FCC pole attachment deadlines.
Document utility pole information. Katapult Engineering employs a photogrammetric method of pole measurement to “bring the field into the office.” Our OSP telecom engineers use digital photography to document the field, which is then stored and managed online, giving us tools for reviewing plans, making decisions, and processing data into the appropriate deliverable.
