Fibre / FTTx

How fibre design fits together

Most fibre projects move through the same broad phases. A feasibility study establishes whether the project is viable and what it'll roughly cost. HLD sets the architecture — network type, splitter ratios, hub locations, broad coverage. LLD turns the architecture into buildable detail — routes, splices, materials, drop design. Construction packs and permit packs get the design approved and into the field. Pole loading and make-ready engineering handle aerial attachment work where required. As-built documentation closes the loop after construction.

For US-funded projects, RUS-compliant and BEAD-compliant design wraps the buildable output in the funder's documentation requirements without producing parallel deliverables.

Where the downstream construction team or permit authority requires AutoCAD output, our CAD drafting service produces the DWG-format drawings.

Feasibility study

Early-stage assessment of whether a fibre or EV project can be built — and what it'll take in cost, timeline, and risk.

High-Level Design (HLD)

Network architecture and topology design for fibre rollouts — the design phase that constrains everything downstream.

Low-Level Design (LLD)

Detailed route, splice, and asset design for fibre networks — the buildable output a construction team can actually work from.

Construction packs

Buildable documentation packages that go to the construction crew — drawings, schedules, materials, instructions.

Permit packs

Drawings and submission packages for any permit-issuing authority — city, state DOT, railway, tribal, federal, utility.

Traffic control plans

Drawings and method statements for managing traffic around an active infrastructure build — required by most permit authorities.

Pole loading analysis

Structural assessment of utility poles to confirm they can safely take a new fibre or telecom attachment, NESC-compliant and pole-owner-ready.

Make-ready engineering

Engineering work to prepare existing utility poles for a new fibre attachment — clearances, transfers, replacements, guying.

As-built documentation

Capturing what was actually built — the record that supports operations, faults, and future expansion.

RUS-compliant fibre design

Fibre network design built to USDA Rural Utilities Service loan design standards — the requirement for any RUS-funded rural fibre build.

BEAD-compliant design packs

Fibre design and documentation built to the requirements of the US BEAD federal funding programme.

CAD drafting services

AutoCAD-based drafting for fibre, EV, and infrastructure projects — permit drawings, construction packs, and as-builts where DWG is required.
