Governmental Coordination
• Employee Liaison's staff the following
Emergency Operations Centers in LCEC’s
Service Area for Coordination of Activities:
– Lee County
– Collier County
– City of Cape Coral
– City of Marco Island
– City of Sanibel Island
Standards of Construction
•
LCEC's construction standards, policies,
guidelines, practices, and procedures
comply with the National Electrical Safety
Code (ANSI C-2) [NESC]. Electrical
facilities constructed through December
31, 2006 comply with the edition of the
code in effect at the time of the facility’s
initial construction.
Standards of Construction
•
•
LCEC has construction standards, for
required facilities, that meet the extreme
wind loading standards specified by
Figure 250-2(d) of the 2002 edition of the
NESC.
LCEC is an active participant in the Utility
Sponsor Steering Committee on
collaborative research efforts associated
with storm hardening.
Standards of Construction
•
Although not waterproof, LCEC's equipment and
constructed facilities are designed to be water
resistant. The majority of our underground facilities
(excluding conduits and cables) are at or above
existing/surrounding grade. Even with these design
and installation considerations, LCEC experienced
some significant damage to our underground facilities
as the result of flooding and storm surges. On the
other hand, it has been LCEC's experience that
flooding and storm surges have little effect on
overhead facilities whether part of an underground or
overhead system.
Standards of Construction
•
LCEC's standards for joint use provide
clearances (distances) for conductors,
equipment, and risers. The joint use
agreements that are entered into with pole
attachment parties detail the process for
evaluating pole loading capacity. Additionally,
the agreements define the responsibilities for
pole reliability and upgrading. Currently, LCEC
does not permit attachments to transmission
poles.
Joint Use Survey
• LCEC is in the process of doing a System
Wide Joint Use Survey
– Verify Attachments
– Identify any Clearance Violations
– Identify any uncompleted field work
