The project included developing the site’s telecommunications backbone infrastructure as part of Lilly’s new pharmaceutical manufacturing campus in Concord, North Carolina. The scope of work included installing high-capacity fiber optic and copper backbone systems to support current and future telecommunications needs while ensuring vital interconnectivity across critical campus infrastructure. This involved the design, furnishing, and installation of innerduct conduit within existing and newly constructed underground and overhead pathways to protect and organize the fiber optic / copper cabling. The backbone was routed through designated Main Distribution Frames (MDFs), Intermediate Distribution Frames (IDFs), telecom cabinets, fire alarm systems, and Distributed Antenna System (DAS) locations. To ensure optimal performance, scalability, and system resilience, all materials and workmanship adhered to industry and manufacturer standards (TIA/EIA, BICSI) and project-specific specifications.
As part of the project, over 30 miles of fiber optic and copper cabling were installed to establish a robust, campus-wide telecommunications network.
