I am hoping to get a general feel for the grounding and bonding issues associated with a steel structure (carport) installation within 20 Feet of 60KV Lines. The 20' is in reference to horizontal distance. I used a laser and vertically spotted the closet line to the structure. For the record there are 3@ 12KV and 3 @ 60KV running through an easement on the property. The client wants to have some protection from the elements and is of the opinion that this structure can be deemed temporary where as a stick built structure can not. Only a temporary structure (or readily moveable) can be considered in the right of way/ easement. So I guess I"m asking
A) Is this even a good idea given the proximity to power lines
B) What type of special Bonding/Grounding should be considered. Slab is existing without a ufer but we can expose steel if necessary to bond to. Thanks in advance for all of your criticism and unmerciful comments :huh:
