Run it down the pole and splice in a ped or hand hole. From: Jason McKemie Sent: Monday, December 3, 2018 4:22 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Splicing on a pole off road
I've been using a Werner work platform. They're actually made to stand on, but provide me with some work space. Various manufacturers make ladder-mount splicing workstations, most are outrageously expensive though.

If you're going to need to do it in inclement weather, I would probably purchase a strand-mountable ladder tent - providing steel strand is present. -Jason On Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at 3:54 PM Adam Moffett <[email protected]> wrote: I'm looking at some rural places where for some reason the power company chose to run their pole line about 100 yards off the road behind the houses. I cannot drive a bucket truck to some of these places. Sometimes you'd be crushing a corn field to get there or other times it's brushy and untamed and you couldn't drive anything less than a forestry mulcher through it. How do you equip someone for fusion splicing out in the bush like that? If we build on this route, we'll have to be able to splice out there at some point. Do you clear a space on the ground and set up a tent or do you climb the pole and set up an aerial tent and lash a work table to the pole? -Adam -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
