Foreword

(This Foreword is not a part of IEEE Std 977-1991, IEEE Guide to Installation of Foundations for Transmission Line Structures.)

This guide is one of several documents, covering all aspects of overhead transmission line construction, that are being prepared by the Working Group on Construction of Overhead Lines of the Towers, Poles, and Conductors Subcommittee of the Transmission and Distribution Committee of the IEEE Power Engineering Society. This guide presents, in one document, the considerations necessary for the installation of foundations for transmission line structures. This guide is intended to be used as a reference source for parties involved in the ownership, design, and construction of transmission lines.

Scope

This guide presents various approaches to good practice that could improve the installation of transmission line structure foundations. This guide covers only the construction aspects of the installation of the foundations.
