OSP Physical Design

What is OSP Physical Design?

Outside Plant Engineering (OSP) Design is the practice of engineering aerial and underground pathways plus multi-dwelling units (MDU) to support Telecommunications Infrastructure.

  • Aerial Pathway:

    • Understanding joint use versus sole ownership

    • Telcordia based pole line development

    • Telcordia based aerial cable placement requirements and strategies

    • Material requirements

    • Engineering practices based on Telcordia specification

    • Optical versus copper cable selection practices

    • GIS Based guidance:

      • Field Based Data Collection

      • GIS Analyst requirements

      • Construction print development

      • Standardized practices

  • License Agreement Development:

    • Who is the pole owner or owner?

    • Incumbent pole owners and joint owners’ requirements

    • Assisting the organization with the required process development to support pole applications development, submittals and costing

    • Pole Applications support and associated timelines

    • Managing and supporting invoicing

  • Pole Line Field Based Reviews:

    • Identify valid make-ready versus Per-Existing Conditions (PEC)

    • How best to approach pole owners to address deficiencies

  • Underground Pathway:

    • Understanding the various underground construction methods and how and when to deploy:

      • Plow versus trench

      • Directional Drilling / Boring (D-Bore)

      • Direct buried versus conduit

      • Duct Banks Systems

      • Conduit types

      • Handhole / Manhole deployment strategies

    • Engineering Practices:

      • GIS Based

      • CADD Based

      • As-built requirements

      • VISIO Designs

  • Permitting:

    • Assisting with the permitting process development

    • State Department of Transportation Permitting (Perm 32 / Perm 75)

    • County, Municipal, Village and City Permitting requirements

    • States Department of Conservation (DEC) permit requirements

    • Public Agency such as the Adirondack Park Agency (APA)

      • Jurisdictional Inquiry requirements

      • APA Permit requirements

    • Insuring construction documents cover permitting activities and requirements
