7. DRAWINGS AND INFORMATION TO BE SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER

7.1 Information to be Supplied with the Proposal:

  1. Calculated weight of each concrete pole.
  2. For each standard class pole, provide section and strength properties, and the ultimate, cracking and zero tension strengths at maximum five foot intervals along the pole to demonstrate conformance with the requirements of Sections 4.1.2, 4.1.5, and 4.1.6.
  3. For each standard class pole, provide pole deflection calculations at maximum five foot intervals along the pole using the specified tip loading in order to demonstrate conformance with the requirements of Sections 4.1.3 and 4.1.4.
  4. Pole diameter at top, bottom, and groundline.
  5. Tip and butt wall thickness.
  6. Prestress strand - quantity, size and dropout location.
  7. Design strength of concrete (28 day compressive strength).
  8. Diameter taper in/ft.

7.2 Information and Drawings to be Supplied for Owner’s Approval Prior to Fabrication:

7.2.1 After the manufacturer's proposal has been accepted, the manufacturer shall submit to the owner two prints of each fabrication drawing. One set of these drawings will be returned to the manufacturer with indication of review corrections. Where a correction is required, two sets of revised prints shall be resubmitted to the owner. These prints shall be marked "Revised" and dated.

7.2.2 Final fabrication drawings for each different framing pattern and pole calculations for each load case shall be submitted to and approved by the owner before release of order for manufacture.

7.2.3 All design and detail drawings shall be reviewed and approved by the owner before pole manufacture.

7.2.4 Information to be Provided on Drawings: The manufacturer shall be responsible for the correctness of dimensions and details on the drawings. The review of such drawings by the owner shall not relieve the manufacturer of this responsibility.

Drawing titles shall clearly indicate the owner's name and pole-type identification. Each detail drawing shall include the following minimum information:

  1. Complete dimensional information;
  2. Description and location of all steel reinforcements, and, if dropout system is used, the location of each steel cable dropout;
  3. Twenty-eight day strength of concrete and strength of concrete at time of release of pretensioning strands;
  4. Steel strand prestress loads;
  5. Size, description, quantity, and location of all holes and hardware that is a part of the pole;
  6. Weight and location of the center of gravity of the pole;
  7. Location of pickup points and storage points. Both pickup locations and recommended storage locations shall be shown;
  8. Location of climbing devices and grounding inserts;
  9. Pole identification plate location and details;
  10. Location of groundline;
  11. The ultimate moment and cracking moment capacities at the groundline; and
  12. Any other special information deemed necessary by the manufacturer and owner.
