BHC has completed more than 1,400 miles of OSP Long Haul fiber optic design projects across the United States. BHC performed route reconnaissance surveys, focused biological and wetland field surveys, cultural resource surveys, detailed construction and permit drawings, environmental permitting and approvals, civil permitting and approvals, ILA site selections, site acquisition and site design. Challenges the project teams faced and overcame included strict environmental requirements for routes across federal lands, avoiding wetlands and cultural impacts and coordinating simultaneous design and drawings packages to meet aggressive schedules.
