Industry Overview: Telecommunications Contracting in Texas
The telecommunications industry is expanding rapidly across the DFW Metroplex, driven by demand for 5G networks, fiber upgrades, and smart infrastructure. Telecom contractors face unique exposures that traditional insurance brokers often misunderstand — from high-risk tower work to underground boring and data network installation.
EIS-Texas partners with firms that build and maintain the infrastructure powering Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and Arlington — providing insurance strategies that cover the entire operational chain, from site prep to network activation.
Our solutions combine coverage precision with leadership insight, empowering contractors to operate confidently while maintaining compliance and contract readiness.
Core Risks & Exposures
Telecommunications work combines the physical risk of construction with the technical risk of precision engineering.
-
Tower & Aerial Work – Elevated height operations with significant fall exposure.
-
Underground Boring & Trenching – Utility strikes or property damage during installation.
-
Equipment & Fleet Liability – High-value splicing trailers, lifts, and service vehicles.
-
Cyber & Data Risk – Handling sensitive client or project data.
-
Workers’ Compensation – Crew safety during climbing, excavation, or confined-space work.
-
Professional Liability – Engineering or design errors in system setup or network integration.
-
Subcontractor Oversight – Exposure from unverified or underinsured subcontractors.
EIS-Texas ensures your insurance program reflects your technical complexity and field exposure — not generic “contractor” assumptions.
