The NESC® is the basis for your power and communication line construction standards and work procedures. Safe installations improve community relations and system reliability, while decreasing long-term costs. Your personnel need to understand how to correctly apply the National Electrical Safety Code in both usual and unusual situations, particularly on joint-use pole lines.

Attendees will work practical exercises in teams. Written answers are given for each question, including rule references. Additional exercises and answers are provided for later use by attendees.

Some topics include: how to apply the NESC to power, telephone, CATV and railroad utility systems in practical situations; how to properly use the NESC to develop clearances, grounding, and strength standards for new construction or check compliance of existing construction; and responsibilities for meeting NESC requirements.

When there is accidental contact by a member of the public with a power or communication utility facility, you need to gather and analyze the appropriate data before it goes away. You need to quickly

(a) determine whether you met the appropriate requirements and
(b) secure information concerning the actions, qualifications, tools and equipment of other parties.

Regardless of whether you are on the team gathering data and analyzing the accident or you are developing the appropriate litigation strategy, it is vital that you understand what data is required, how to use it, and how to make it be the most effective in litigation.

Discussions by engineers who have investigated well over 1000 utility accidents will help you understand effective ways to investigate and document accidents in a manner that will aid and promote effective litigation decisions.

At the end of the seminar, attendees are divided into teams to review a real accident scenario and prepare (a) lists of measurements and other data to be gathered and (b) present arguments to be made for each side, based on information provided in class.

This special tutorial on the Required Strengths and Loadings for Wood Pole Utility Lines addresses the increasing problem of accommodating larger numbers and sizes of cables and conductors on single wood pole utility lines. Unfortunately, line failures have increased in recent years due to overloading poles.

Attendees will be divided into teams to work exercises in each part. This course is particularly designed for engineers and technicians who want to add or increase expertise structural engineering of wood pole lines. Written answers are given for each question of the practical exercises worked in class, including rule references. Additional exercises and answers are provided for later use by attendees.

Attendees will be given a demonstration copy of the new O-Calc Pro to use in the tutorial workshop and to hone their skills after the course.
