But they are OK with a pole in the cornfield?
Seems like there should be some kind of splice case you could mount on the pole maybe 5 feet off the ground. Unless you worry that the farm equipment will hit it when making turns in the field. Seems like they would have to be turning within inches of a utility pole though. Of course, that’s one of the reasons utility poles get knocked over in our area. Not sure if it’s due to inattentive farmers, or GPS errors and autosteer.

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] <mailto:[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] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
