Richesin Engineering provides certified fusion splicing, OTDR testing, and fiber restoration services throughout Oregon — from Central Oregon to Portland Metro, Eastern Oregon, Southern Oregon, and the Coast.
From emergency fiber cuts to new ISP builds and utility fiber networks — Richesin Engineering has the equipment, the certification, and the field experience to get it done right.
Precision arc fusion splicing producing splice losses of 0.02 dB or better — the permanent, low-loss solution for all long-term fiber installations. Single-mode and multimode.
Complete OTDR trace analysis verifying splice loss, fiber length, and continuity. Every project gets a full splice record and as-built documentation.
Fast response to fiber cuts and cable damage for telecom carriers, utilities, and ISPs. We mobilize quickly to restore service and document the repair.
Splice enclosure installation on aerial strand, underground vaults, direct-buried routes, conduit systems, and indoor OSP terminations.
Splicing contractor support for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), WISP backhaul, enterprise campus, and utility fiber construction projects statewide.
Network performance problems often trace back to a bad splice or damaged fiber. We locate and repair the fault with minimal service disruption.
Backbone fiber, last-mile FTTH, and WISP backhaul splicing throughout Oregon. We work to carrier-grade splice loss specifications with full documentation.
SCADA fiber, substation communication fiber, and smart grid fiber networks. We understand utility safety requirements and work safely around energized infrastructure.
Campus fiber, inter-building fiber runs, and tribal broadband infrastructure splicing. We handle prevailing wage projects and Davis-Bacon documentation.
Subcontract fiber splicing for general contractors, electrical contractors, and telecom builders who need a certified splicer for their Oregon project.
Based in Madras, Central Oregon — we cover the entire state.
Have a fiber project outside these areas? Contact us — we travel statewide and beyond.
Our fusion splicers are trained and experienced in all fiber types and enclosure systems. We've spliced everything from 2-count laterals to 288-count backbone cables.
Every project includes OTDR traces, splice loss records, and as-built documentation — ready for handoff to your network team or regulatory authority.
Based in Central Oregon with crews available statewide. We can mobilize quickly for emergency fiber restoration when a cut cable means your customers are offline.
We use current-generation fusion splicers and OTDR equipment — not aging gear that produces inconsistent results. Proper equipment means proper splice loss every time.
Unlike a splicing-only shop, Richesin Engineering can also handle fiber construction, network design, tower work, and project management — one contractor for your entire project.
CCB# 246006 — Oregon licensed contractor, fully insured. We carry general liability and workers' comp required for carrier and utility work.
Call us for a fast quote — most fiber splicing projects can be quoted same-day.
Costs vary by fiber count, access, and project scope. Emergency single-fiber repairs typically run $300–$600 on-site. Multi-fiber splice projects are quoted per-splice or per-day. New construction splicing for FTTH and WISP projects is typically priced as part of the broader project scope. Call (541) 312-6233 for a same-day quote.
Fusion splicing permanently joins two fiber ends using an electric arc — producing splice losses of 0.02–0.1 dB, virtually invisible to the network. Mechanical splicing uses a physical alignment sleeve with index-matching gel — faster but higher loss (0.3–0.5 dB) and used mainly for temporary repairs. For permanent installations, fusion splicing is always the right choice.
Yes — we splice fiber in all environments including aerial strand (ADSS and lashed cable on poles), underground conduit, direct-buried, and indoor applications. We handle splice enclosure installation, fiber organization, and weatherproofing for each environment.
Response time depends on location and crew availability. For clients in Central Oregon and the surrounding region, we can often mobilize the same day. For locations further afield, we work to get a crew dispatched as quickly as possible. Call (541) 312-6233 directly for emergency dispatch — don't use the web form for emergency requests.
Absolutely — we regularly work as a fiber splicing subcontractor for general contractors, electrical contractors, and telecom construction companies throughout Oregon. We provide certified splicers, our own equipment, and full documentation. Contact us with your project scope and schedule.
