Abstract:
This NACE/IEEE joint standard provides requirements to (1) help electric utilities identify structures that may be at a high risk for below-grade corrosion; (2) excavate and inspect the selected structures; (3) categorize the condition of structures based on corrosion degradation; (4) prioritize structures requiring additional inspection based on those findings; and (5) help identify next steps as required. The standard is limited to the inspection and assessment of steel transmission towers, poles, and substation structures, to include galvanized, self-weathering, and painted mild steel structures, as well as other similar structures.
Scope:
This standard provides requirements to: (1) help utilities identify structures that may be at a high risk for below-grade corrosion; (2) excavate and inspect the selected structures; (3) categorize the condition of structures based on corrosion degradation; (4) prioritize structures requiring additional inspection based on those findings; and (5) help identify next steps as required.This standard is limited to the inspection and assessment of steel transmission towers, poles, and substation structures, to include galvanized, self-weathering, and painted mild steel structures, as well as other similar structures.It does not address the specific inspection of ...
Purpose:
The purpose of this standard is to provide procedures for the use of common inspection practices and technology on structures below grade.The standard includes:a) assessment of historical data to categorize inspection priority;b) below-grade inspection and assessment to categorize structures by level of condition;c) site-specific environmental factors and soil conditions;d) evaluation of existing repairs;e) assessment of foundation anchors and associated hardware; andf) detection of stray currents.NOTE:(1) While concrete foundations and guy anchors are not specifically addressed in this standard, it is expected they will be addressed in separate standards.
