General - Poles Page 1 of 2 in this chapter Wood Pole Installation Notes: 1) Poles shall be handled with care, so as not to damage the wood or preservative treatment, 2) Poles shall be lifted off the pole hauler/trailer at designated structure locations and not rolled or dragged along the ground.. Lifting slings that do not damage the poles shall be used. Pole tongs are not permitted. The butt of.a pole shall not be cut. Pole tops shall be cut only if approved by the designer and line supervisor. Poles shall be set exactly vertical and in line with each other wherever possible. At angles in the line and at points of excessive strain (such as permanent dead-ends), the pole shall be guyed. The pole shall also be given a rake against the strain at the bottom, so that the top of the pole will be in line, The rake shall be one foot for every thirty (30) feet of pole height above the ground line, Refer to DCS-OH-GC-06-300 for pole raking. When unusual conditions are encountered or for angle poles that cannot be properly back guyed, consult the designer about manner of installation. Refer to DCS-OH-GC-06 for unguyed poles, Table 2 is the calculated pole butt diameter based on height and class (ANSI 05.1) using a 0.21/ft circumference taper. The minimum size auger hole diameter shall be the measured pole butt diameter, plus at least twice the working width of the a tamping tool.
