Design

Systems Design & Engineering

With our design department, we can take a project from concept to construction including fieldwork, design and permitting. By being a bonded company we can obtain municipal permits, utility permits, DOT permits and railroad permits. We can design a wide range of fiber optic cable projects including; as-builts, new build, rebuild, wide area networks and campus networks. Our staff can produce construction drawings utilizing Microstation and AutoCAD with state of the art equipment. Our design personnel are experienced and take pride in designing projects that are both cost effective and easy to maintain.

Base Mapping

All maps will be compiled using basic road maps or utility prints (when available). On each map the following will be correctly labeled: all roads, state, county or city, rivers, creeks, and railroads.

Strand/As-Built Drafting

All drafting will be performed using standard symbols for strand and as-built information. Maps will be created at one inch to two hundred feet (1" to 2OO') scale. Each map will be plotted at 11" x 17" with a completed data block attached.

Fiber Network Design

Our experienced designers can design your wide area network (WAN) or campus network to meet your project specifications. We can design a network connecting your project sites with a star or ring configuration. We will complete your fiber design, whether it is new build, rebuild or an individual project using Microstation software. The design of each project will be coordinated with a representative from your company to complete the project to your company specifications. An efficient design will be created that can include future plant extensions and to avoid costly redesign. If digital copies of your sites are not available, we can digitize your buildings and grounds to provide you with a detailed routing of the network at each site. We will provide a complete set of strand prints (11" x 17") and a map grid (24" x 36") that shows the fiber routing along with fiber counts and splice point locations.

Walkout/As-Built

All mapping, aerial or underground will be completed using standard symbols for poles and underground pedestals. All footages will be measured via measuring wheel. All roads and street names will be verified. For as-builts the following will be verified: footages, pole types, storage loops, splice points, maintenance items, actives, passives, cable size, power supplies, house counts, commercial counts, addresses and pole numbers.
