About this file

Written by GovTribe AI · Aug 22, 2024

This document appears to be a set of design drawings for the installation of new steel poles and catenary wires as part of the Lowell National Historical Park Trolley System project. The drawings provide detailed specifications and installation instructions for the new steel poles, including pole foundations, grounding/lightning protection, crossarm connections, and catenary wire anchoring. Key details include:

The project is for the Department of Transportation Volpe Transportation Systems Center under Contract No. 6913G621P800012. The drawings are issued for construction and identify specific pole locations and types of work required at each pole, such as removing and replacing existing wooden poles, installing new steel poles, and modifying crossarms and catenary wires. The drawings also include several installation details and notes providing requirements for the new steel pole design, foundation, grounding, and catenary wire connections.
