  • Pre-Project Planning: BMI will participate in all forecasting, equipment valuation, and operational development as a full partner to Client, lending its unequalled real-world expertise and experience to the exercise. Travel, F2F forums, site surveys and location analyses – will all be part of any collaboration.
  • Governance: BMI will convert all gathered data, insight, gating information, and technical information into a concrete plan, outlining timeframes, crew allotments, specific logistics interfaces, communications trees, and reporting and documentation interfaces for daily, weekly, monthly, and annual project governance.
  • Professional Telecom Crews: BMI will provide the manpower, equipment, and technical expertise to deploy its resources to all active project arenas, and will perform the full scope and closeout charter at all sites awarded, across all scopes and builds.
  • Complex Logistics Solutions: BMI’s operations will transact the extraction and loading of all retired equipment and removed materials via a fully adapted logistics and transfer program (“Virtual Warehousing”) to consolidate and transport all ensuing commodities to the destination of secure and fully tracked BMI processing and triage locations.
  • Recycling & Resale: BMI can leverage its expert materials management capabilities to facilitate the intake, processing, and correct classification of all arriving project equipment and commodities, creating sharp and effective divisions between scrap reclamation and salvage operations, and device remarketing processes.
  • Dollars & Compliance: BMI will maximize project pacing, absorption of logistics and transit costs, the fullest possible dollar harvest from all materials reclamation activities, asset resale potential, environmental compliance, and field work quality measures – reducing cost exposures and optimizing revenue offsets.
