The engagement covers field survey, campus backbone design, diverse entrance paths, campus duct bank routing, permit packages and submissions, and closeout documentation. Engineering is 100% in-house. When those tasks sit in separate contracts, a route change becomes a coordination job for your project manager. The survey provider identifies an existing underground utility in the planned path, the designer revises the route, the permit preparer updates another package, and the records team later has to reconstruct the decision. The package does not move until every party has reissued its piece, and that delay cuts into the time remaining before the campus occupancy or commissioning date. With Draftech, the team responsible for the route carries that change through the affected survey, design, permit package, and records. Your project manager has one engineering team to address the finding, revise the affected deliverables, and retain the result for closeout. Campus OSP is a focused engagement within our broader [data center fiber services](https://draftech.com/services/data-center-fiber/). ## What our hyperscale data center fiber engineering includes Our campus fiber optic design services give you a defined set of deliverables from survey through final records. We establish the campus limits and buildings included in the scope so the proposal describes the work your team needs to receive. - **Field survey of existing and proposed routes:** Campus field information for the OSP design, carried directly into the engineering work by Draftech's team. - **Campus and building-to-building OSP fiber design:** The outside backbone connecting the buildings included in your scope, with route drawings for project review and subsequent package preparation. - **Diverse building entrance paths:** Physically separated outside routes to separate points of building entry, laid out to the separation the campus owner specifies. - **Campus duct bank routing:** Routing developed against the current civil plan as part of the campus OSP scope. - **Carrier connection points at the property line:** Locations where carrier routes meet the campus OSP, shown on the campus design drawings. - **Permit packages and submissions:** Preparation and submission for the campus fiber scope, with engineering responses to route-related reviewer comments. - **Closeout documentation and as-built records:** As-built records that reconcile the issued campus design with the installed routes. ## How the assignment moves from survey to closeout ### Survey the campus routes Draftech begins with field survey of the existing and proposed routes within the project. The survey records existing routes and structures along the proposed paths, and field conditions that affect routing, for the designers. When a field finding conflicts with a planned route, the designers resolve it with the survey team that recorded it, before the route reaches a permit package. ### Design the outside routes and entrance paths Our engineers develop the campus backbone, diverse OSP routes, entrance paths, and campus duct bank routing against the current civil plan. The design covers the outside connections between buildings and ends at building entry. Your team reviews the campus OSP package with the engineers responsible for producing it. Design comments return to that same team. The route drawings provide the basis for the campus permit packages. ### Prepare and submit the permit packages Draftech prepares and submits the permit packages for the campus fiber scope. The engineering team continues to own the route when review comments arrive, so your project manager can bring those comments back to the team that developed the design. You receive both package preparation and submission as part of the service. When a comment requires a route revision, Draftech revises the drawing and the affected package, returns the package for review, and keeps the revision in the route record used at closeout. ### Complete the campus records The work continues through closeout documentation and as-built records. Prepared by the team that produced the design, the as-built records reconcile the issued design with the installed condition reported from the field. Your project team receives records of the installed campus routes alongside the other closeout documentation. Your operations team inherits one route record for the campus instead of a design set and a separate as-built set that disagree about where the fiber runs. ## Fit the engagement to your delivery role As a hyperscaler or large colocation campus owner, you set the campus requirements, including entrance diversity and the buildings in scope, and review one campus OSP package. You can review survey, design, submission, and records obligations together when choosing an engineering firm. Your campus team keeps authority over its requirements. When an enterprise data center operator adds buildings to a campus that stays in operation, Draftech designs the new routes and entrance paths around the fiber already in service. The drawings show where the new work runs beside or crosses existing routes, so your operations team can review the effect on live connections before the permit packages are submitted. For a general contractor or EPC, owner comments and permit reviewer comments both return to Draftech on your campus package schedule. Your project manager can focus on decisions and package milestones within the broader delivery program. ## Campus delivery experience Draftech's completed work includes: > a hyperscale data center campus: 28 route-miles; survey, OSP design, permit packages and submissions delivered in 17 days; closeout documentation completed. The same team completed every named stage, from survey through closeout, without a handoff to another firm. ## Connect the campus assignment to adjacent services Hyperscale data center fiber infrastructure extends across several engineering scopes. This service owns the campus OSP scope. Where your procurement includes adjacent work, Draftech also offers: - [Long-haul and dark fiber route engineering](https://draftech.com/services/data-center-fiber/long-haul-fiber-engineering/) for routes reaching the campus from outside. - [Middle-mile fiber engineering](https://draftech.com/services/data-center-fiber/middle-mile-fiber-engineering/) for the regional network feeding the campus. - [Inside plant and structured cabling design](https://draftech.com/services/data-center-fiber/inside-plant-design/) for engineering once fiber enters the building.

We can then define the survey, design, submission, and closeout responsibilities around your project. If the campus routes will also need to be built, Draftech offers full turnkey construction from the same design, delivered by Draftech-managed crews under Draftech's QA/QC and safety program.

Your route drawings and records give the field survey its starting point, and the survey confirms them on the ground before the design relies on them. Where the field and the records differ, the design follows what the survey found. ### Can a general contractor or EPC engage Draftech directly? Yes. Draftech serves general contractors and EPCs delivering campus projects as well as campus owners and operators. You can bring Draftech in under your contract with the campus owner, and the campus OSP drawings and packages are issued to your team for coordination with the rest of the site work. ### Is this the same as your fiber network design or ISP network engineering services? No. Our fiber network design and ISP network engineering services engineer the networks that internet service providers and telcos build to reach their subscribers. This service engineers the private outside plant across one data center campus, connecting its buildings for the campus owner or the contractor delivering it. ### What happens if we change which buildings are in scope after work starts? Tell us as soon as the building list changes. Draftech identifies which survey areas, route drawings, entrance paths and permit packages the change affects, then confirms the revised scope, deliverables and sequence with you before any drawing is revised. ### What should we provide to scope the work? Identify the buildings in scope and who will review the engineering. Include any adjacent services you need so Draftech can define the campus OSP deliverables within your request.
