Risers, Laterals and Primary Bushings added to Quick Pole
Posted: Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:29 am
You can now add as Hardware items from the Master Database to any pole:
1) Communication Risers attached to the pole
2) Secondary Risers attached to the pole
3) Stand-off brackets with conduit (called Buss Risers in Quick Pole) with three sizes to choose from (12", 24", 36")
4) Primary Bushing locations
The Risers can be added to the pole at their maximum attachment height. The Pole Profile (side View) will show them from the ground up to this point. Some assumptions for weight have been added to reflect typical usage, including the weight of PVC piping (2" Comm riser holds 3 typical service drops, Secondary Riser holds one 1/0 Triplex). All weight is assumed to be supported at the maximum height. Wind load is computed as one-half of a free-standing pipe to account for partial wind sheltering by the pole.
Standoff brackets (We called them Buss Risers) have all of their weight supported by the ground beneath them. Wind load is calculated and divided evenly between their pole support (assumed at highest point) and the ground.
Primary Bushings have been added with two different voltage ranges for clearance purposes; typically used for low hanging transformers. The voltage ranges match the separation requirements of (1.2m and 1.5m) from the CSA Standards
All of these items, plus street lights, are further tested for separation limits to existing hydro and communication line attachments. These results show up in the appropriate reports and instant messages.
