Civils & Strengthening Services Featuring NexGen2 Blind Bolt Technology
Strengthening Australia’s Mobile Network Starts from the Ground Up
At AM2PM Group, we specialise in civil works and structural strengthening for telecommunications infrastructure. Our work ensures Australia’s mobile network stays strong, compliant and ready for the demands of 4G, 5G and future technologies.
From monopole reinforcement and steel replacement to advanced blind bolting systems and corrosion remediation, AM2PM delivers the full scope of strengthening required to safely upgrade towers and extend the life of critical assets. Our team works closely with major carriers, network partners and engineering firms to complete complex strengthening projects efficiently, safely and with minimal disruption to the network.
Every tower we strengthen directly improves the performance, safety and reliability of the networks millions of Australians rely on every day.

Why Strengthening Matters in Modern Telecommunications
Telecommunications structures face increasing demands. New carrier equipment, additional load from 5G technology, ageing assets and environmental exposure all contribute to declining structural integrity over time.
A strengthening program delivered by AM2PM protects assets and ensures:
- Safe load-bearing capacity for modern hardware
- Full compliance with engineering and carrier requirements
- Reduced risk of structural failure or network downtime
- Longer service life with fewer future repairs
- Faster upgrade readiness for future network rollouts
Whether adding new equipment or extending the life of existing infrastructure, strengthening is an essential part of keeping mobile networks safe and operational for years to come.
Our Civils and Structural Strengthening Process
AM2PM delivers a complete strengthening process from assessment to installation.
1 | Site Assessment and Engineering Review
We assess the tower, monopole, or structure alongside engineering specifications and carrier requirements. This identifies the reinforcement, remediation or upgrades needed.
2 | Civil Works and Site Preparation
Before any strengthening at height begins, our civil team prepares the site safely and efficiently. This includes ground works, access, steel handling and equipment staging.
3 | Structural Reinforcement and Steel Installation
We complete the strengthening scope, including bracing, C channel installation, structural steel upgrades, replacement of compromised components and reinforcement plates.
4 | Blind Bolting and Fastener Installation (NexGen2)
AM2PM is nationally recognised for our use of the NexGen2 Structural Blind Bolt Assembly. This system is ideal for towers and monopoles and allows one sided installation without cranes.
5 | Corrosion Remediation and Rust Prevention
We clean, treat and protect steel surfaces to prevent further deterioration and ensure the structure remains compliant and sound.
6 | Final QA and Handover Documentation
All strengthening work is checked against engineering and carrier specifications. We provide final documentation, photos, and sign off for compliance and future asset records.

Project Case Study: Newcastle Telecommunications Monopole Strengthening
AM2PM completed a full strengthening program for a telecommunications monopole in Belmont South, NSW. The project highlighted the team’s engineered methods and crane-free installation capability.
(First contactors to use this specific bolt in Australia, AM2PM understands systems are evolving and is eager to implement new solutions to the industry)
Scope included:
- C-channel bracing installed on the monopole
- More than 450 NexGen2 blind bolts installed at height
- Replacement and strengthening of damaged steel sections
- Rust control and corrosion prevention coatings applied
Project outcome:
- Completed one week ahead of schedule
- Delivered under budget
- Zero crane use due to specialised access systems
- Led to additional strengthening projects with Telstra and Optus
