[Substation_TLine_Design]

Hello fellow Power Utility Structural Engineers! Any updates on when the next revision of Substation Structure Design Guide MOP 113 is being released?

At the ETS conference (that ended today) they (ASCE) told us it will definitely be published in 2023 (I was not told a quarter, so I assume that means 4th quarter). They also noted that it will reference ASCE 7-22 for load development.

We are nearing the end (hopefully) and are reviewing the 800+ Peer Review comments. I missed the ETS conference (first time in many years) due to budget constraints on travel. Tying up loose ends with pictures being changed and checking numbers in the examples. The change in the Kz equation in 7-22 and the gust factors made the old numbers wrong.

An update for those that are following ASCE 113. We finished Peer review comments and solicited comments from the entire committee (about 31 engineers) which were due last Friday. The next step is to send all the new Chapters in DOCX format to ASCE to do their typesetting in whatever software that they use. They tell me they will make the new Edition available in paper, PDF, and even individual chapters in PDF format. Not sure about publication timeline, but the committee must review the document to check for errors before it is published.

There are always errors that popup. The ASCE 74 MOP had some figure errors where they published the wrong figure for the transition from Exposure D to C to B.

HTH
