person who moves poles Explanation: steel poles Just a guessing -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2007-01-09 09:43:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- *lineman* Steel Pole Basic Training Nov 1, 2006 12:00 PM by Gary McDonald, Line Technician Trainer Throughout my 40-year career as a lineman in the transmission and distribution industry, I have seen many new innovations. With these innovations come more choices as well as the questions and concerns the line workers have about working with the new products. Steel distribution poles are a good example. When I first started seeing steel poles being used for distribution lines, I had my doubts. But as I learned more about how to handle them and their benefits, I became a believer. A survey by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) found that at least 600 of the 3100 electric utility companies in the United States now use steel poles in their distribution systems. Some utilities have even converted entirely to steel poles, a decision based in large part on the recommendations of their linemen who work with the steel poles every day. This broader acceptance of steel poles creates a challenge for experienced line workers who are faced with trying to stay on top of the new equipment available, both to make good choices and to maintain proper procedures when working around them. I can personally attest to this challenge. As a line worker and later as a safety and training instructor, I have seen every type of transmission and distribution structure imaginable — wood, concrete, metal, round, square, lattice — and I have worked with them all. When I first started working with steel poles, I had to ask many questions about the differences between wood and steel and the characteristics of each. http://tdworld.com/mag/power_steel_pole_basic/ |
