Ryko is now WesTower

Aerial Construction

Ryko performs aerial cable placement and installation services. To do so we have cable placer trucks, manhole pulling, and hydraulic pulling available for any aerial project.

Ryko is equipped with all the necessary tools to install, secure, and protect aerial fibre optic cable, providing our customers with a stable and reliable aerial network.

Directional Drilling

Ryko installs safer and faster fibre optic networks while minimizing the impact on the immediate environment by using directional drills in a range of sizes to accommodate a variety of boring lengths and terrain.

Hydro Excavation

Ryko offers a non-destructive method of excavation through hydro excavation. Hydro excavation allows us to take the safest route possible underground to achieve a complete fibre optic installation in both cold and warm months.

Plowing

Ryko plows cable and pipe for underground fibre optic installation projects allowing for a fast and smooth installation with minimal ground disturbance.

Fibre Optic Installation

Ryko uses the latest and most advanced fibre optic cable installation techniques and equipment available in the industry:

• Fibre Splicing and Testing using environmentally controlled ribbon and single fusion fibre splicing and state-of-the-art OTDR equipment
• Fibre Pulling and Installation using custom pulling trucks rigged to safely and efficiently install, monitor, and limit cable tensions, guaranteeing cable integrity during installation
• Staff fully equipped and trained for manhole entry and duct bank cable installation
• FTTx Construction from the installation of FDHs, to zero-easement drilling and cable installation, as well as splicing, testing, and terminating

Ryko supports and maintains all aspects of outside cable TV plants, including:

• Full rebuilds (live plant and node construction, power supply pedestals, and aerial taps and amplifiers)
