Dispersion wave technology is good system for foundation mapping. • Mapping sample sheets are in the back of the specification.

  21. 3GS-T18-00003 Tower Mapping, Analysis and Repair • Provides guidelines for Modifying a tower • Fixes to develop full load path. • On SST legs, additional members added to legs to be welded to splice plates at either end. • Clamp on members do not help unless they go to both ends. • Monopoles • Additional members, plates or shapes to build up section • modulus to go to base plate for continuity. • Splices are needed for continuity. • For more details on monopole repairs see 3GS-T18-00011

  22. 3GS-T18-00003 Tower Mapping, Analysis and Repair • Guyed Towers • Add struts to reduce unbraced length of members • Change out guys to redistribute loads • Foundation Repairs • Anchor Blocks – add on to ends so soil in front of anchor block is not disturbed • Caissons – Add collars to increase area and Section Modulus

  23. 3GS-T18-00011 Selection, Purchase and Installation of Monopole Reinforcement Systems and New Ports • Conventional Fixes – utilize plates or structural shapes that are bolted or welded to the shaft intermittently to add section modulus to the pole. • Blind Bolts – qualified by the manufacturer and approved by Bechtel prior to use • Specify the use of LOW HEAT WELDING • Procedures to protect the cable inside.

  24. 3GS-T18-00011 Selection, Purchase and Installation of Monopole Reinforcement Systems and New Ports • Adding additional ports to existing pole – follow original pole fabricator’s procedures for installing port. • Nonconventional Systems – see section 1.6 of the Specification for a listing of systems to be approved by engineering before they are installed. • Unacceptable Systems – those that use adhesives and/or carbon fiber plates

  25. 3GS-T18-00012 Wireless Site Facilities Structural Analysis and Design Calculations and Software • Structural Analyses to be complete • Towers – foundations as well as superstructure • Buildings – existing building checked for additional load as well as the communications feature on the roof or wall. • Map if existing drawings are not available. • Structure Shop Drawings, Foundation Drawings, Tower Inventory Report, Geotechnical Report, Foundation Map and /or Tower Superstructure Map and Existing Structure/Foundation Calculations to be attachment to calculation, not just referenced. • Calculations originated, checked and approved.

  30. 3GS-T18-00013 Selection, Inspection and Testing of Hilti Adhesive and Mechanical Anchors for Wireless Site Facilities • AE and Anchor Installers require training by the anchor manufacturer. • Select anchor that is appropriate for the material it is going into. • Anchors designed in accordance with requirements of the appropriate Codes, ESR’s, Manufacturers Recommendations and Authority Having Jurisdiction. • AE specify Special Inspection and Special Testing in accordance with the ESRs and Chapter 17, typically, of the UBC 1997, IBC 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, IEBC, ICBC, etc.

  31. BECHTEL ENGINEERING AE REVIEW Design Review Process

  32. Design Review Process Requirements • Market Engineers will review all drawings in Market • AE is required to include the AE Review Status Stamp on the front page of the drawing set.

  33. Bechtel Design Review • The first edition of any Drawing is issued as REV A “For Review” • Bechtel Market Engineer will review the drawing and redline any changes • Redline is sent back to the AE • AE will correct any issues with the drawing and return to Bechtel as REV B. • Do not go to Rev 0 until instructed in writing in the AE Review Block • Once Rev 0 drawing is issued, Bechtel is allowed one revision to incorporate Client/Landlord/Jurisdiction comments • After Rev 1 all changes are at extra cost to Bechtel unless changes requested to Rev 0 were incorrectly done. • SCOPE CHANGES WILL BE COMPENSATED

  34. Design Review Process - DRN • DRN Process with Bechtel PMO • Primarily an internal Bechtel process • Sample of work is reviewed by the Chief Engineers or their designates • Monitors compliance with Bechtel design requirements • Affects Bechtel’s AE Subcontractors • TWO of each deliverable type (drawings, calcsetc) are initially submitted for review. • Chiefs give comments and A, AC, NA status • Any NA status requires submission of additional deliverables until 2 consecutive A or AC documents have been received.

  35. Re-occurring Technical Issues • Continued problems with lack of attention to details • Same issues are repeated time and time again on new drawing sets • Missing tower foundation analysis with Tower Structural • Specified or validated software not used • Not using Bechtel standard details, format and detail numbers • Rooftop platform calculations do not include building structure adequacy assessment • Anchorage details not included in drawings. Calculations to support them not provided at CONTRACTOR request. • Documents not PE sealed, signed and dated (unless specified otherwise by CONTRACTOR).

  36. Re-occurring Technical Issues • Out of date revisions of Standard Notes and Details being used • Details from older Bechtel contracts being used • Missing Electrical details • Power panel schedule missing • Missing RF interconnection details (1400 series)

  37. Redline Example - Title Page

  38. BECHTEL ENGINEERING AE REVIEW Electrical Design Guidance

  39. Standards, Codes and Practices • NEC (NFPA70) National Electric Code • Version accepted by the Jurisdiction where the site work is taking place. • NFPA 780 Standard for Installation of Lightning protection Systems • NESC National Electric Safety Code • For installations in and around Power installations • IEEE 80 Guide for Safety In Substation Grounding • For sites at or directly adjacent to Substations only • Bechtel does not require compliance at tower sites unless Utility does. • IEEE 81 Measuring Earth Resistivity • ANSI J-STD-607-A Commercial Building Grounding • AT&T Grounding and Bonding Standard ATT-TP-7646

  40. Bechtel Standards • Bechtel Standard Notes and Details Rev 1 • 25736-000-A3J-00000-00001 Rev 1 • Technical Specification for Design and Testing of Facility grounding for Cell Sites • 25736-000-3PS-EG00-0001 Rev 0 • Model Site Drawings • Site Drawing Samples present general content expectations • Part of Exhibit E • Electrical Service Assessment and Evaluation Guideline • 25736-000-3DJ-GEX-00003 Rev 0 • AC Power Panel Schedule Guideline and Spreadsheet • Provided by Bechtel

  41. Grounding Issues • Recurring items to be aware of: • Far too many ground rods indicated • Missing Buried Ground Rings (BGR) • Connections to Fence posts not shown • Requires bonding corner posts, Gate posts and Gates • Also requires any metallic object within 6’ of BGR to be bonded to the BGR • Fence post within 6 foot distance must all be bonded to the BGR • Bonds to Existing BGR improperly made • 2 bonds must be made between the TOWER ground ring and the equipment ground ring • Bonds may not be made to existing equipment ground rings of other carriers even if they are closer • Rod spacing should ideally be 2 times the length of the rod but NO less than 1 times the length • See Bechtel Details 1213 and 1214

  42. Tower Grounding Considerations • ANSI/TIA 222 Rev G considerations for new Towers • Tower Buried Ground Ring (BGR) must now be 2/0 AWG wire • Ground rods must be a minimum of 10’ instead of 8’ • Bonding wires to the tower base must also be 2/0 AWG • All Towers must have a minimum of THREE bonds to the Tower BGR. For Self supports it requires one per leg. • Does NOT apply to equipment pad ground rings. 2 AWG is fine. • Requires Soil PH value in particular for Guy wire installations to determine if extra effort is required to protect Guy wires from corrosion at the Anchor points. • Existing ground rings do not need to be upgraded.

  43. Grounding Sample

  44. Grounding Issues

  45. AC Power Panels and Loading • All Sites where new AC connections are being made shall have a Power Panel Schedule with load calculations included with the design documents. • Bechtel can provide an Excel spreadsheet to assist in the calculation • All Rectifiers are to be considered as non-continuous loads • All Air Conditioners are continuous loads unless the controls do not allow units to operate simultaneously. • Heaters are continuous loads unless they never operate at the same time as the Air Conditioners. If they do not, then the larger load of the two shall be deemed continuous • AC powered BTS are not considered Continuous • Tower lighting is a continuous load • LCL (Largest Continuous Load) is not in NEC as part of load calculations.

  46. Power Panel Schedule

  47. BECHTEL ENGINEERING AE REVIEW Interface Procedure

  48. Change Order Process • Issued only by Bechtel Contracts!! • No work is authorized unless a Change order is issued • Any work done without a CO is done at risk • Engineers are not allowed to authorize work • Includes overtime, scope changes, extra drawing sets • Scope changes will be directed by change order

  49. Bechtel Standard Document Numbers (SDN) • Drawing must be numbered according to SDN • File names must follow SDN • 25736-635-LO(-T5-T4)-CCL00158-IFC-Rev A • (-T5-T4) identifies other scopes this drawing applies to. Do not include the parentheses. • Be sure the correct Charge code is used: • 25471-630 = Turf 1.0 • 25736-635 = Turf 2.0 • If you are not sure which one to use – ASK! • Using the wrong Identifiers could result in the drawing being returned for correction.
