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.

4.1.1.11 Design Parameters and Factor of Safety

Tolerances

i. Length

The tolerance on the length shall be as follows:

The finished pole shall not be out of straightness by more than 1/600 of its length.

The rolling and cutting tolerance for hot rolled steel products shall be in accordance with relevant international standards.
