determined (in consultation with the Company), the customer is
responsible for installing the first 10' section or sections of conduit
on the pole, including any conduit elbows or standoff brackets as
required. Any additional sections of conduit will be installed on
the pole by the Company at the customer's expense. The customer
is responsible for supplying all conduit and related hardware.
If the conductors
are to be owned by the Company, then the
riser conduit (once installed on the pole) will generally become
the property of, and will be maintained by, the Company.
Galvanized steel conduit starting at a minimum of 18 inches
below grade shall be provided wherever cable is extended above
ground. In some cases, sunlight resistant schedule 40 or 80 PVC
conduit, suitable for the purpose, may be substituted on the riser as
detailed on Illustrations No.s 28, 29 and 30 in Section XII.
Proper consideration must be given to possible
frost action
in the selection of type and method of installation of ducts.
For a customer owned primary voltage riser, the customer
is responsible for installing and owning the riser pole. This pole
and the attached riser and conduits shall be constructed in
accordance with the Company’s Construction Standards to include
Illustrations
No.s 28 and 29 in Section XII. With prior Company
approval, the riser may be attached to a Company owned pole but
the Company will perform all installation and maintenance
work
on the riser at the customer’s expense. The customer may also be
assessed an annual pole attachment fee.
When the riser pole is located in a State road right-of-way,
it is the customer/developer’s responsibility to comply with the
Maine Department of Transportation’s Utility Accommodation
Policy for conduits within the Maine Department
of
Transportation’s right-of-way.
