Treatment Plant, to the world’s largest BSL-2,3,&4 campus, the USAMRIID
(United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases) which
is still under construction. My inspections would include all facets of
telecom from outside plant, inside plant, testing, acceptance and the entire
grounding system. My knowledge base employed the TIA-EIA documents, National
