Standards We Review Against
UFC 3-580-01
DoD criteria for planning and designing telecommunications infrastructure in military facilities, inside and out. It's the baseline every DoD telecom design must meet.
UFGS Division 27
The Unified Facilities Guide Specifications for communications systems, the contract specifications that govern telecom work on USACE and DoD construction projects.
ANSI/TIA Standards
The industry standards for structured cabling, including cabling performance (TIA-568), pathways and spaces (TIA-569), labeling and administration (TIA-606), and bonding and grounding (TIA-607).
BICSI Best Practices
Industry-recognized methods for telecommunications design and installation, drawn from BICSI's Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual, the foundation of the RCDD credential.
NEC (NFPA 70)
The National Electrical Code requirements for communications and fiber optic cabling, including fire ratings, separation from power, and safe installation.
ICD 705
Intelligence Community physical and technical security standards for SCIF construction, including how communications infrastructure enters and is routed within secure spaces.
Our Services
Quality assurance for telecommunications and ICT infrastructure
Every service we offer is focused on verifying that telecom work meets the contract, the criteria, and the standards, from the first submittal through turnover.
Telecom QA Inspection
Division 27 and applicable Division 26 field inspection: cabling installation, terminations, labeling, pathways, telecom rooms, and bonding and grounding. We review copper and fiber test results, track deficiencies, and deliver daily QA reports.
Telecom Submittal Review
Division 27 product data, shop drawings, rack elevations, telecom room layouts, test plans, and as-builts, reviewed against UFGS, UFC 3-580-01, TIA, and BICSI. Comments and resolution are managed in USACE RMS.
ICT Design Review
Telecommunications drawings and specifications reviewed for standards compliance, constructability, and capacity, including outside plant and data center infrastructure.
Secure Facilities
ICD 705 SCIF telecommunications support and classified network cabling QA from a TS/SCI-eligible RCDD.
Division 27 Specifications
Telecommunications specification development in SpecsIntact, installation design guides, and Performance Work Statement and SOW development.
