Infraplus Consulting was engaged to design and plan a community fiber network for various towns in the UK. The project covered 200 km of fiber infrastructure and aimed to connect 50,000 premises. The work was divided into two phases: the Preliminary Design and Secondary Design.

In the Preliminary Design phase, Infraplus focused on feeder routes, distribution routes, and cable connections. The project required address verification and pole mapping to ensure precise network planning. The design included components like DJ (Distribution Junction), FDT (Fiber Distribution Terminal), and FAT (Fiber Access Terminal), which were key to the overall fiber network architecture.

The Secondary Design phase expanded on the preliminary work, ensuring that fiber chambers, FAT-UG, FDT, and fiber cables were seamlessly integrated into the design. The project began with Shapefile inputs from the client, which included essential data layers such as SDU, MDU, poles, civil infrastructure, and other key elements.

Scope of Work:

1. Feeder and Distribution Route Design:

Feeder route design to ensure efficient fiber connectivity from DJ to FDT
Design of distribution routes that support fiber connectivity to service locations
Verification of addresses and poles to ensure accuracy in fiber placement

2. Fiber Network Design:

OSPF (Outside Plant Fiber) design to connect Primary Splitters (DJ) to Secondary Splitters (FAT)
Fiber tail connections from FAT to individual service locations
Fiber chamber, FDT, and FAT-UG integration into the overall fiber network design

3. Data Management and GIS Mapping:

Utilize Shapefile inputs from the client to define fiber network layers and infrastructure components
Map fiber components such as Fiber Terminals, Branch Splices, Fiber Splice Cases, Slack Loops, and Fiber Drop Cables using QGIS

4. Final Design & Deliverables:

Completion of fiber network design in QGIS, ensuring precise mapping of all components
Single Line Diagram illustrating the full network configuration and fiber routing
Bill of Quantities (BoQ) in Excel format for materials and installation costs

Deliverables:

Complete design drawings in QGIS
