You can make a mid span drop clamp work on fig 8. From: Adam Moffett Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2015 1:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Figure-8 vs lashed
I had not considered a mid-span drop. Interesting point. Might want to compare figure 8 costs to ADSS as well, the share some of the same strengths and weaknesses. Lashed has the advantage of being able to overlash and do mid-span aerial drops.

Seems like you have at least twice the labor in lashed because you pull the whole length twice. I don't really have a basis for comparison though. Does anybody have reasonable guesses about labor hours spent for aerial installation on the two different methods?
