CAD Services

As part of DSI’s installation offerings, we offer CAD and CADD services related to deployment engagements. DSI provides CAD services to produce project drawings for documentation and as-builts for communication infrastructure installations. In addition, DSI provides CADD services to produce engineering drawings and documentation for the design and installation of communications networks.

We use current version AutoCAD from AutoDesk. Any CAD format is accepted for input (including MicroStation and, choke, Visio,) and deliverables can be converted to most CAD formats.

Typical CAD services include:

• Building Floor Plans: obtained by either manually digitizing existing blue prints or by deriving them from existing electronic drawing files.

• Detail drawings for closet elevations and logical illustrations are produced from information provided by your design / installation system(s) or by direct audit produced in an AutoCAD compatible format.

• Drawings and drawing files are provided per project specifications (up to E-size, 48”X36”) produced using AutoCAD compatible software.
  Floor plans showing outlet locations, outlet labeling, wiring closet locations, and cabling pathways.

• Communications System Audit/Survey:

  • Detailed, on-site survey/analysis of existing or proposed communications systems relating the physical plant to the network application.

  • Documentation of systems includes CAD drawings, digital images related to the drawings, and analysis and recommendations for installation maintenance and scalability.
    

CADD Services include:

• Horizontal market support of CADD software: acquisition, training, implementation, and application.
