The full scope.
From first sketch
To final construction.
Expert technical design and project management for ISPs, distribution utilities, and First Nations broadband programs.
Comprehensive Telecommunications
Engineering.
Expert technical design and project management, delivered directly by our core team.
End-to-end PON architecture and route design from feasibility through Issued for Construction (IFC) packages. Greenfield and brownfield deployments across rural, remote, and urban Ontario — including high-level network planning and route analysis for UBF, ICON, and other government-funded broadband programs.
Data-driven structural analysis and make-ready reports for joint-use pole attachments. Compliant with CSA C22.3 No.1 and host-utility standards — Hydro One, regional LDCs, and ILECs.
Distribution and telecom overhead line design for new builds, refurbishments, and relocations. Sag-tension calculations, framing schedules, and construction drawing packages compliant with Hydro One and local LDC standards.
Comprehensive construction drawing sets — plan and profile, detail sheets, framing tables, splice plans, and as-built documentation. Delivered and formatted to client or utility standards.
Municipal, utility, MTO, rail, and joint-use permitting end-to-end. ROW applications, encroachment permits, make-ready coordination, locates.
Expert-led management from design kick-off through construction closeout. Scope, schedule, budget, and stakeholder coordination — with the technical depth to solve field problems, not just track them. PMP-certified.
Direct contact.
Decisive engineering.
first drawing to final build.
Based in Thunder Bay with over a decade of field experience across Northwestern Ontario's infrastructure landscape — terrain, utilities, and joint-use programs included.
While our roots are in the Northwest, Lumen delivers engineering services across all of Ontario — from rural broadband builds to urban make-ready programs.
We focus purely on engineering and project management. The technical work is the entire offering — no construction arm, no upsell, no competing interests on your project.
Deep familiarity with the standards your build has to clear — CSA C22.3 No.1, Hydro One distribution, Bell joint-use, ESA, and MTO. Designs built to pass review the first time.
Built on field-tested experience.
Lumen Engineering was founded on a simple premise: clients deserve direct contact with their engineering team. No layers of account managers, just straightforward technical communication.
The practice brings over a decade of hands-on experience in FTTH network design, overhead line engineering, and joint-use make-ready analysis across Northwestern Ontario. Field-level technical depth, applied to every project. Drawing packages that work on site, not just on paper.
The work has spanned regional carrier infrastructure, First Nations broadband programs, UBF- and ICON-funded deployments, and distribution utility coordination — from feasibility and route analysis through IFC packages to construction support.
The team reviewing your designs is the team executing them.
