Operations
MNS is working with its customers to help reduce energy use through more efficient routing and
planning of operations. Optimizing routing and scheduling enables are crews to spend less time
between sites and more time at sites. This creates a win-win for both MasTec and our customers as
network initiatives are rolled out faster and more efficiently.
Sustainability starts in the field with MNS. Our crews remove all packing and shipping materials from
the site and arrange for transport to our warehouse locations where items are either returned to our
customer or sorted for recycling and landfill avoidance.
For network decommissioning activities, MNS has led nationwide major decom and end of life
projects by recycling millions of pounds of metals and significant GHG reductions and landfill
avoidance as a result.
Support Operations
MNS has invested heavily in software, hardware and process improvement to reduce paper use and
automate many internal processes within our back offices and support organization.
The company has implemented many paperless systems in our Human Resources, Accounting, Quality
and Safety departments.
Our IT purchasing department analyzes lifetime operating costs of computers, network gear and
servers by placing an emphasis on ‘Energy Star’ certified equipment when making new purchases.
