Pathways can be installed through parking levels, concourse levels, lobbies, riser rooms, and common areas. Listed below are the specific requirements for pathways within the Building: 1.1 Telecommunication cabling shall be installed within conduit located within the parking garages, concourse levels, and common areas extending from the riser room to a tenant suite. Cabling is permitted to be run free air within the riser space provided that best industry practices are followed and the installation conforms to section 2.0 Cabling. It should be noted that any damage done to a cable running free air within the property shall be the responsibility of the owner to fix and replace. the Licensor will not be held responsible for any damages done or revenues lost. 1.2 Should a Customer or the Licensee want to install conduit within the riser it should be reviewed and approved by the onsite Riser Manager. It is recommended that the conduit is sized for the expected growth and not just the smallest or largest sized conduit installed. 1.3 Conduits, connectors, couplers, pull boxes, and covers that are located in the parking garage area and throughout other common visible areas must be painted powder coat white. This must be done offsite, and no other form of paint will be accepted. 1.4 When conduits are running horizontal, labels shall be placed approx. every 15 linear feet. (examples would be through the parking garage area) 1.5 Conduits and cabling must be labeled on both sides of each wall, floor penetration, and at both ends of a termination point. 1.6 Conduits running vertically in the riser system shall be labeled near the top, in the middle at eye level and one near the bottom close to the core hole. This label will provide a means of quick and accurate identification. 1.7 Labels shall clearly identify the ownership of the conduit. The Licensor recommends that additional items such as source and destination locations as well as a contact phone number are included. 1.8 Any pre-existing conduits that are not currently labeled and have a single ownership should be labeled with the company who owns the pathway. Common pathways with multiple ownerships do not need to be labeled. 1.9 Any type of x-raying, scanning, or coring must have a permit which is assigned by the Licensor’s project management team. All concrete structures require x-raying prior to any core drilling taking place. If the Licensee decides to use a preferred contractor of the Licensor for this work, then the x-ray and coring can take place in the same night. No cutting of the structural steel and/or rebar shall be permitted or tolerated. The Licensee or its contractor is to have available on request a copy of the x-ray for the Licensor’s representative to review. 1.10 It’s the Licensee’s responsibility to insure that all vertical and horizontal holes their pathway and/or cabling passes through is correctly firestopped. 1.11 Where the cabling enters into a conduit or connector it’s the contractor’s responsibility to provide firestopping of the conduit as well as the hole the conduit passes through the fire rated wall.
