4.0 THE SPECIFIC TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS OF VARIOUS EQUIPMENTS
4.1 Steel Poles
The purchaser may at its discretion furnish the design and
fabrication data of one or more types of poles necessary for
fabrication and testing of poles by the supplier or alternatively
may ask the bidder to work out the optimum designs of poles and in
that case submit detailed design calculations on ‘excel format’ for
check and review by Employer.
Design of Poles shall be worked out and checked preferably as per
ASCE Manual- 72 / SEI - 48- 05 or other relevant international
standards. Poles shall be pre-drilled and supplied complete with
pole top cap and base plate.
4.1.1 Specific Constructional Requirement
4.1.1.1 Poles shall be designed to withstand the worst possible
combination of simultaneous loading of
- Lateral loads consisting of wind forces on conductors corresponding
to wind spans, wind force on insulators, wind force on pole and
maximum conductor tension.
- Vertical loads consisting of pole self-weight, weights of
conductors, insulators, cross-arm, additional equipment, lineman
and compressive force due to reaction of stays wherever applicable.
4.1.1.2 Steel poles for HV (33 kV), HV / LV mixed shall be worked
out for the following types and applications
- Contractor shall submit the detailed design & drawing of pole
for each above said 33kV Transmission line for approval of Client
and sample drawing showing dimension & configuration are
enclosed.
- Poles shall satisfy the dimensional length and pole top loading
requirements as per the design parameters listed in this
specification. The dimensions across flats for top and bottom for
all poles are listed in this specification/drawings as a preferred
design to utilize one dimension for each type of pole length in so
far as design & working load criteria is met.
4.1.1.5 Working Load
Working Load of a pole specified herein and defined as the load
which when applied at 250 mm below top will induce the maximum
permissible stress in the pole, shall be marked on each pole.
- The standard poles shall be suitable for the specified applications
based on the design parameters given in Table 2, 3 & 4.
- A through hole of 14 mm diameter shall be provided in each pole at
a height of 300 mm above the planting depth for earthing. The
location of hole at a height of 300 mm shall be got approved from
the Employer before manufacturing of the poles.
