As an alternative, emih rods may be installed in bored holes and connected and interconnected to all the legs of the tower using stranded copper conductor as above. The layout of earth rods shall be to the approval of the Owner/Engineer.

The emihing connections from tower to the additional emihing shall be specially protected against corrosion at the air/ground interface. COlTosion protection shall extend from the tower connection to a point 1 meter below ground. Such earthing connections may be made with PVC insulated conductor. Alternatively, protection may be given to bare conductor by the application of Denso paste and Denso tape or other approved methods. Underground emih connections and tops of earth rods and counterpoise conductor shall be buried at 1 m below ground. Bored holes for earth rods shall be back-filled using water added to the bentonite to form a slurry in order to achieve compaction around the rod. 7.2.22 Design Calculations The Contractor shall submit the following design calculations to the Owner/Engineer: (a) (b) (c) Wire clearance diagram; Line diagram; Support design calculations (in the approved format) indicating the applied loadings, the design load for each member under the critical loading case, member size, slenderness ratio, allowable load and end connection details; When requested the load for each member for each loading case shall be made available; Foundation load schedule; Wire clearance diagrams for each terminal and junction position.

(d) (e) (f)

The Contractor shall not proceed with any support prototype test until after the submission of the design calculation. This is a Hold Point. 7.2.23 Fabrication Drawings The Contractor shall submit the following fabrication and erection drawings to the Owner/Engineer: (a) (b) (c) (d) Panel assembly (fabrication) drawings; Erection drawings; Stub setting diagrams; Stub, anchor bolt assembly;

Panel assembly drawings shall show all material in place, complete with all fabrication and connection details. A complete tabulation listing all pieces for the portion of the support detailed shall be shown on each drawing. Each erection diagram shall show one support panel, together with a key diagram indicating its location on the complete support. Its mark number shall identify each piece. The number and length of bolts and number and type of nuts and washers required for proper assembly shall be shown at each connection. A complete tabulation listing all the material needed for the support panel including all bolts, nuts, fill and bevel washers and locknuts, shall be shown on each drawing. The tabulation shall show the quantity, the mark number, the description of the piece (including size and length), the total mass (including the allowance of 3.50/0 additional mass for galvanising) to the nearest 0.1 kg of all the pieces of the same
