CASE STUDY 1
Fiber Optic Build (Fiber optic)
Background
Celerity Integrated Services, Inc. completed a turnkey fiber optic build for a
premier Competitive Access Provider company whose customer is a large Central
Pennsylvania School District. The project demanded a cost effective solution
in a condensed time frame.
The Challenge
The project required single mode optical continuity between 16 schools and an
optical link between 2 large data centers. All in all,
24 miles of OSP design, construction and
documentation encapsulated the scope of the
project. The project included both aerial and
underground construction, including directional
drilling. The most feasible of cable paths
also included several major interstate crossings,
railroad crossings, and small streams. The already
tight time frame was further compacted by factors
beyond anyone’s control such as Make Ready and
Permitting issues that delayed start date by over
3 months. The project was finally able to start
in the middle of August with the bulk of the work
needed to be completed prior to the beginning
of the school year.
