2. Project Scope 2.1. Site Assessment and Planning • Conduct a detailed site survey to evaluate the installation environment. • Identify cable routes (aerial, underground, or indoor). • Confirm accessibility and safety considerations. • Acquire necessary permits and permissions. 2.2. Design and Engineering • Develop a detailed fiber optic network design, including splice points, termination locations, and patch panels. • Create route maps, as-built drawings, and BOM (Bill of Materials). • Ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards (e.g., ANSI/TIA, ISO/IEC, NEC). 2.3. Material Procurement • Supply high-quality fiber optic cables (single-mode or multi-mode). • Provide necessary accessories: connectors, patch panels, enclosures, splice trays, and conduit. • Supply tools and equipment required for cable pulling, splicing, and testing. 2.4. Installation • Perform trenching, boring, or pole attachments for cable placement (as applicable). • Install conduits and ducts where required. • Pull and secure fiber optic cables along the designated routes. • Perform splicing, terminations, and connections at designated points. • Label all fiber strands, panels, and components for easy identification. 2.5. Testing and Quality Assurance • Conduct fiber optic testing. • Perform loss and continuity tests to confirm system performance. • Document test results and ensure compliance with design specifications. 2.6. Cleanup and Restoration • Backfill and restore areas affected by trenching or boring to their original condition. • Remove all debris and excess materials from the site.
