serving the telecommunications industry. DTS is a privately-owned company which offers professional_x000D_
headend equipment installation, cabling, AC and DC powering, and live cutover services. DTS provides_x000D_
network facilities engineering and implementation services including analysis, design and_x000D_
construction/installation of cable tray, framing, utility pool and other support structures. Currently company is_x000D_
facing challenges in analysis and designing support structural systems made of commercially available_x000D_
structural elements because of lack of knowledge on strength properties and their performance under service_x000D_
conditions. DTS is currently seeking to address this challenge by developing expertise in analyzing, designing_x000D_
and installing robust support structures for utility systems by demonstrating performance through research &_x000D_
development. The objective of this project is to design robust and more efficient new or repaired support_x000D_
structures (in terms of better structural performance, service life and economy) for utility system through_x000D_
developing improved analysis tools and design specifications by incorporating mechanical properties (such as_x000D_
strength and deformation characteristics) of commercially available component parts (new, deteriorated and_x000D_
repaired states) through experimental and theoretical/code based investigations. The completion of this project_x000D_
will give DTS a competitive advantage (leading to boosting revenue and job creation in the long-term) through_x000D_
developing expertize in the analysis and design of more efficient support structures for utility systems. This_x000D_
work will also enable DTS to build confidence and promote understanding for its clients, engineers, and local_x000D_
authorities in Canada, when providing construction/installation services. By supporting this research, Canada_x000D_
can play a significant role in assisting a Canadian company (DTS) to develop expertise, build confidence and_x000D_
promote understanding for its clients in providing construction/installation of utility services as well as_x000D_
contributing to the training of highly qualified personnel (HQP)., program purpose french : Based in Ontario, DTS Technical Inc. is one of North America's premier design and implementation firms_x000D_
