509 SECTION 838 — SPAN WIRE AND MESSENGER WIRE

838.1Description.

This work consists of providing, placing, transferring, adjusting, relocating, or removing span wire, messenger wire, and associated attachments.

838.2Materials.

A.Span Wire and Messenger Wire Section 1076

838.3Construction.

838.3.1 Span Wire.

A.Provide and install span wire on steel or wood poles in accordance with the contract. The engineer

will specify the tension of the installed span wire and the attachment height. Apply tension to the span wire using a tensioning device with a minimum capacity of 6,000 -pounds pull.

B.For span wire between wood poles, prepare the poles as follows:

1.Install 2 strain plates on each pole, 1 on the side facing traffic and 1 on the opposite side away

from traffic, in accordance with the Standard Construction Details .

2.Install 2 guy hooks on each pole, 1 on the side facing traffic and 1 on the opposite side away

from traffic, in accordance with the Standard Construction Details .

C.Place span wire in accordance with applicable electrical and safety codes. Install strain insulators

based on field conditions and as directed by the engineer. Equip each span with 2 strain insulators unless otherwise directed by the engineer. Install t he strain insulator no less than 8 feet above the ground if the span wire is broken below the insulator.

D.Attach span wire to the poles and strain insulators in the following manner:

1.Wrap the span wire, starting at the pole nearest the strain insulator, 1 .5 times around the pole

with the end of the span wire extending back parallel with the span. Do not allow the span wire to cross over or overlap itself on the pole.

2.Place 2 galvanized guy clamps on the span wire end -to-end. Place one 2 1/5-feet from the pole

and place the second clamp 1 -inch away from the first.

3.Extend the end of the span wire at least 3 -feet from the last clamp and secure the span wire

with a service sleeve.

4.Place a strain insulator by doubling back the span wire through the hole in the insulator. Attach

the doubled back span wire to the other span wire using 2 galvanized guy clamps placed end -to- end at a distance of 1 -foot from the strain insulator. Extend the end of the span wire at least 3 - feet from the last clamp and secure the span wire with a service sleeve.

5.Attach a span wire to the other side of the strain insulator in the same manner as in step 4.

6.Wrap the span wire around the far pole to complete the system. Tension the span wire to

achieve the tension in accordance with the contract. Use the tensioning device on the end of the span farthest from the strain insulator. Wrap and clamp the wire in the same manner as described above in steps 1 and 2. Extend the end of the span wire at least 3 -feet from the last clamp and secure the span wire with a service sleeve.
