INTERNAL SURVEY & PLANNING

As a specialist contractor we can provide value added services, unlike some installers, we are able to work with client to produce an extensive solution by working with them from a high level design brief to provide detailed surveys and work with clients to provide a solution for a MDU deployments.

Surveys are vital form for the overall plan this cannot be done sat at a desk and using design automation, or online maps, surveys need to be conducted by physically attending site and walking the the proposed routes and documenting the findings. TNS will work with providers to deliver their solution and can advise on other proposals, from there we can produce a bill of materials and low level designs.

MDU SPLICING DIAGRAMS & NETWORK DRAWINGS

Working with service providers and clients we are able to produce detailed splicing records for the network build as well as producing network drawing and bill of materials. On completion of the network we can provide up to date as built drawings with locations of splice closures and splicing records and circuit diagrams from cabinets to end clients.

Circuit diagrams are different for copper cabling as these would likely to be patch panels.

MDU FIBRE NETWORK TESTING & COMMISSIONING

We use the latest test equipment to test the network and produce detailed test reports in easy format so the client can understand them, these are produced in PDF format and also .SOR so they can be read on another OTDR. We have enhanced software functions on all our testers but we still use standard OTDR for advanced verification. If we are testing copper networks and it is a data grade cable then we would use a cable analyser to ensure it meets the industry standard.
