Service Overview

One Firm. One Plan. One Point of Accountability.

The most common failure mode in remote site projects is split accountability — one contractor for logistics, another for installation. The coordination gaps between them are where schedules slip and budgets break.

Intrastellar Solutions manages the complete logistics chain from contract award through final site clearance: shelter and equipment procurement scheduling, staging area selection and coordination, ground and aerial transport sequencing, on-site crew management, and post-installation environmental restoration. Every element is planned and executed under direct firm control, with a single point of accountability to the Government throughout.

Our portfolio includes helicopter-only mountain summit sites, offshore island installations accessible only by aircraft, high-elevation ridge sites reachable only by ATV, and remote wilderness installations subject to strict no-ground-disturbance requirements.

Access Types We Have Operated In

Helicopter-only mountain summit sites (multi-pick, sub-3,000 lb)
Offshore island installations — no road or vessel dock access
High-elevation ridge sites — combined helicopter and ATV access
Lava field and geologically sensitive environments
No-ground-disturbance compliance (NPS/USFS archaeological and environmental mandates)
OCONUS austere environments — USCENTCOM and USINDOPACOM support

Core Logistics Capabilities

Every Element of Access, Planned and Executed

System Procurement and Delivery Scheduling

OEM orders are placed immediately upon contract award and tracked against an integrated master schedule. System delivery to the staging area is planned to arrive no later than four weeks prior to the scheduled installation date — providing buffer for weather delays and helicopter scheduling adjustments.

Helicopter Lift Coordination

Direct experience coordinating multi-pick helicopter installations with certified lift providers. All lift packages are engineered to remain below 3,000 pounds per pick. Staging areas are selected for helicopter accessibility, ground transport connectivity, and operational security. Multi-lift sequencing is planned to minimize total flight time — every pick is pre-rigged, weight-assessed, and confirmed clear of the weight threshold prior to lift day.

Ground Transport and Access Planning

For sites with partial ground access, we plan combined lowboy trailer and ATV transport logistics to move tools, feedline, antenna hardware, and crew supplies to the site perimeter. Equipment is packaged and staged to minimize the number of ATV runs required — reducing both crew exposure time and site disturbance.

Marine and Island Access Operations

Operational experience at island installations accessible only by helicopter from coastal staging areas — including Destruction Island, Olympic National Park (NPS), which required approximately eight helicopter picks from the Quillayute Airport staging area on the Washington coast. Personnel, equipment, and Government-furnished property are sequenced and manifested for each pick, with contingency planning for weather-related hold days built into the project schedule.

Demolition, Abatement, and Site Restoration

Legacy shelter and infrastructure demolition is planned as an integrated element of every replacement project. All waste materials are hauled from the site in accordance with applicable federal and state environmental regulations. Demolition is sequenced concurrently with new shelter installation to minimize overall site disturbance duration.

No-Ground-Disturbance Compliance

Many NPS and USFS installations are subject to no-ground-disturbance requirements driven by archaeological, environmental, or resource protection mandates. We plan all installation sequences, staging configurations, and equipment placement to meet these requirements — including certified weed-free fill material where required.

USFS Region 5 — Tahoe National Forest

Ruby Bluff — High-Complexity Remote Site

Procurement and installation of a Pepro 8'×12'×8' shelter with 52-foot integrated articulating mast, demolition of an existing concrete shelter (18 inches below grade), removal of a 40-foot wood pole, commercial power installation including utility pole coordination, meter base, service disconnect, and underground conduit trenching for a 100-amp service. Eight-antenna integration across two antenna types. Site required certified weed-free 3/4-inch minus rockfill for all disturbed areas.

High-Complexity — 8 Antennas

USFS Region 1 — Helena-Lewis & Clark National Forest

Silver King — Helicopter-Only Summit, Lincoln Ranger District

Helicopter-only summit access site. Pepro CLP2 Dual Bay Micro shelter with 20-foot mast. Demolition of an existing 6'×6'×4' fiberglass shelter (approximately 1,000 lbs). Shelter and equipment delivery coordinated to the USFS District Headquarters (Helena, MT) four weeks prior to installation per standard staging protocol.
