Help me wrap my head around something because I am brain dead. Got a call to look at some mobile classrooms that have been set up. There are 6 trailers and each one has a 100 amp service disconnect on the out side. The POCO has brought 500mcm (3 wire) to a pull box in the ground. On each of the 500 mcm's is a 8 conductor Polaris tap. From that box I would run the service wires to each building.
Now I would have to drive 2 rods at each building and bond the N-G. So when it is all said and done all 6 of the grounded conductors would come back and tie to the one single grounded conductor in the pull box. Sound correct?

Based on your above situation I agree also.

I would caution however if there are some covered walkways connecting the buildings the ahj may consider it one structure.

I would just verify to cover my bases.
