Bicsi RTPM 002 section 1 Site Survey
Aerial plant - ANS-Aerial plant commonly has an predicted existence of about 30 years
Alternate Route Considerations - ANS-An alternative direction can be considered if the sector
research indicates the proposed course might
• High set up expenses.
• An unsafe operating surroundings.
• Future upkeep troubles.
Direct-buried plant - ANS-A lifespan of 30 years or shorter, depending on exceptional situations
Documentation - ANS-A file should be product of the proposed route information (e.G., path,
amount, length, depth)
Existing route - ANS-The existing course can be completely adequate. The OSP fashion
designer should examine the prevailing:
• Pole lines.
• Conduit.
• MHs.
• Handholes (HHs).
• Tunnels.
Flagging, Painting, and Marking Utilities - ANS-All subsurface utilities have to be positioned prior
to production and can be required for proper design.
Force path adjustments - ANS-subject conditions may additionally force direction changes:
• Adverse ground situations
• Coordination with other utilities
• Missing easement or lets in
• Customer space usage problems
• Document errors or omissions
• Unusual or special land use or activities in near proximity to the direction
Joint Use Occupancy - ANS-To lessen the value of multiple trenches and decrease the ability for
damage to the prevailing centers, dig a single trench and share it with one or all of the other
parties
Pathway Considerations - ANS-In making plans for OSP cabling, cable infrastructure should be
determined irst. The choices are underground, direct-buried, and aerial.
