Location of attachments is driven by the overall functionality of the
pole while maintaining all clearance requirements (see Fig. 2-2). The Man-
ufacturer should be provided with hole locations, diameters, and hole
patterns required to attach the insulators and other various pieces of
equipment to the structure. (Chapter 5 shows the typical connection
details for different types of component attachments.)
The Manufacturer should be provided with all pertinent information
regarding the guying of the structure. Such information should include
guy size, guy wire modulus of elasticity, rated breaking strength, strand-
ing, maximum allowable load for anchors and guy quantity restrictions,
guy angle limits, restrictions imposed by right-of-way constraints,
and terrain conditions. (See ASCE [1997] for guidelines.)
