Fiber Optic Facilities Retrofit
Qwest Communications®
Northeast, Southeast

In 1998, Selective Site Consultants, Inc. (SSC) was retained by Fluor Daniel, Inc. to assist in site selection and design of switching/regeneration fiber optic facilities for the Qwest Communications'® nationwide project in the northeast and southeast U.S.

The facilities consisted of existing multi-story buildings that had to be retrofitted to accommodate the project requirements. Facilities were located in New York City, New York; Newark, New Jersey; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Jacksonville, Florida.

Each facility required substantial structural, electrical, mechanical, fire protection, and grounding analysis and design. For each facility, SSC prepared Programming Study Reports that delineated the structural, electrical, and functionality aspects of the overall Qwest's design requirements. SSC also prepared building retrofit layout.
