Step One

Now we begin with the countless details that must be attended to prior to and during construction. It turns out that all of the cabling between our existing master control room and our five satellite dishes runs underground directly where our new studio will be located. As a result, before the major for the footers, foundation, and slab begins, all of those cables must be relocated. We're planning to run them on "ladder" wiring trays high (10 to 12 feet) above ground from the dishes into the side of our existing building. We need to support the wiring trays on posts which must be placed in concrete in order to provide the necessary support and stability. Before we can dig the holes for the support posts, we need to have all of the underground utilities spotted and identified so we don't have any "uh-ohs" such as water line breaks or electrocutions.
