Thanks for all the help. The mat foundation was the way I was headed in the first place. Just wanted to see if others thought the same. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. Hopfully this next one will work.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=6e605826-c538-4f72-8972-ccbf41aa6b5b&file=Towerleg.pdf

I work for a utility and a few of our towers, that sit in low areas, are rusting at the groundline of the legs. These are direct bury towers meaning that they dont have a cassion foundation but instead the steel legs have been driven or buried deep in the ground. A couple of the towers were so...

I know that the maximum distance that an electrical line slack span can be used on depends on many things but just wondering if there is a general rule of thumb that would work for most conductors?

Wood utility poles generally fail 5 or 6 feet above the ground line. Why is that when the moment will be greatest at the ground line?

Are there any standards avaliable for a double phase opposite side transmission line tap? The line to tap into has 230 and 138kv lines on it and the tap is onto the 138kv line. The problem is that the 138kv line is on the opposite side of where the tap line is coming in from. Therefore it is...

Actually I was just reading something and I think you are right and that is exactly what it means. Thanks.

Has anyone ever heard of an Intact Condition in reference to utility poles? I am unfamiliar with the term and would like to read something on it to understand what exactly it is.

I stated my information wrong: -Instead of 5% it is 5 degrees that I am finding.

I would like to know what the standard slope is that you can safely operate a standard derrick/bucket truck on. I have come across what seems to be a general answer of 5%. That 5% corresponds to approx 11 to 1 which just seems too conservative. Is that a good rule of thumb or can a derrick...
