A course description...
Hi-Line Engineering, LLC will be presenting seminars in Overhead and Underground Staking. The courses will target engineers, staking technicians, and linemen. The safe, reliable and effiicient design of overhead distribution lines will be the focus of the overhead course.
The seminar will take time to clearly show example problems and application of the NESC rules. We will provide applicable design calculations and easy to use lookup tables for guying and pole top pins.
Who Should Attend
The Overhead Staking Seminar is beneficial to all levels of staking expertise. Novice staking technicians will obtain a working knowledge of correct staking methods and procedures. Construction personnel such as lineman and supervisors can learn the reasons why lines are built and designed to certain specifications. Engineers can gain knowledge that will aid them in preparing design guides for their individual utility's standard conductors, poles and assemblies.
