I work for a manufacturer of precast foundation walls for residential homes and we make no provision to ground our walls electrically as there is no exposed re bar on our walls. Some code officials want them to be grounded but this would cause us to make a provision for this in the design and we have not currently taken those steps. I don't see anywhere where the code requires a foundation to be grounded as long as other grounding provisions are adequate.
Is it the intent of the code to require that a precast foundation be grounded?
