This guide presents various approaches of good practice that will improve the ability to assemble and erect self-supporting and guyed concrete pole structures. This guide covers construction aspects after foundation installation and up to the conductor stringing operation.Concrete pole structures may have components made of other materials (i.e., steel, wood, aluminum).Though some aspects of construction related to these materials are covered in this document, it should not be considered complete. Other documents cover these materials in more detail (see IEEE Std 951-19881).
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to present the construction considerations for material delivery, assembly and erection of structures, and installation of insulators and hardware
Abstract
New IEEE Standard - Active.Reaffirmed 2012. Good practice that will improve the ability to assemble and erect self-supporting and guyed concrete pole structures for overhead transmission lines is presented. Construction aspects after foundation installation and up to the conductor stringing operation are covered. Some aspects of construction related to other materials use in concrete pole structures are covered, but the treatment is not complete. The guide is intended to be used as a reference source for parties involved in the ownership, design, and construction of transmission structures
