IEEE 951-1996 pdf download IEEE Guide to the Assembly and Erection of Metal Transmission Structures
1. Overview
1.1 Scope
This guide presents various good practices that will enable users to improve their ability to assemble andcrect self-supporting and guyed steel or aluminum lattice and tubular steel structures. It also covers construction considerations after foundation installation (see IEEE Std 977-1991-), and up to the conductoistringing operation (see IEEE Std 524-1992).
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to assist the parties involved with the installation of steel transmmissionstructures. This document focuses on the design and construction considerations for material deliveryassembly and erection of metal transmission structures, and the installation of insulators and hardware
1.3 Application
This guide is intended to be used as a reference source for parties involved in the ownership, design, andconstruction of transmission structures. Since methods will be strongly influenced by the nature of eachproject, various methods that have been successfully employed are presented.
If any of the recommendations contained within this guide are to be adopted, they should be specificallystated in the owner’s design and construction specifications. Any legal and environmental requirements ofnational, state, provincial, or local regulations shall be observed.
1.4 Safety
Handling, assembly, and erection of metal structures may require conducting a safety and health programthat takes all reasonable precautions to protect the safety and health of workers and members of the public.Workers should not be allowed to work in surroundings or under working conditions that are unsanitaryhazardous, or dangerous to their health or safety. Any safety requirements of national, state, provincial, orlocal regulations shall be observed (see [B5)2).

3. Definitions
This clause contains key terms as they are used in this guide
3.1 constructor: A paty who undertakes the assembly and erection of a transmission structure. The con.structor can be an owner or an agent acting for an owner, Synonyms: contractor, installer, constructionagency,construction department.
3.2 line designer: A party who develops structure loading criteria,，structure types, and structure locationsbased on line routing, maintenance, and construction requirements. The line designer establishes design criteria for construction and maintenance that will affect the structure designer and constructor The linedesigner could be an owner or an agent acting for the owner.
