General - Poles Page 2 of 2 in this chapter 7) When a pole cannot be immediately set, a hole covering will be placed to prevent any disturbances of the hole (see Figure 2). 8) Allholes are to be dug straight down. All backfill is to be power tamped and compacted in 1-foot lifts, If the excavated material is found to be unsuitable for use as backfill, use bank run gravel or a well-graded crushed stone with #1 crushed stone as maximum size. 9) On side hills, hole depth shall be measured from the downhill side of hole. Pole in sloping ground shall be set to the depth in Figure 3. 10) In cases where a new pole is more than 5 feet taller than the existing adjacent pole, the immediately adjacent poles should be changed so that there is no more than a 5-foot height difference from pole to pole to prevent uplift. a. The new adjacent pole(s) being set shall be the correct height for the area but framed to comply with the 5’ height difference rule. b. For example, a new 50’ recloser pole will be set in an area with 40’ poles. i. ifthe correct height pole for this area is 45’, the pole next to the recloser pole on each side must be replaced with a 45’ pole, framed as a 45’ pole, The other 40’ poles may remain in service. The poles heights comply with the 5’ height difference rule between the three poles one each side (Recloser pole: 50’, 2"¢ pole: 45’, 3° pole: 40’). ii, tf the correct height pole for this area is 50’, the pole next to the recloser pole on each side must be replaced with a 50’ pole, framed as a 45’ pole. The other 40’ poles may remain in service. The pole framings comply with the 5’ height difference rule between the three poles one each side (Recloser pole: framed at 50’, 2" pole: framed at 45’, 3 pole: framed at 40’).
