b. beams
c. braces and other parts
5. Number of each structure shown clearly (only if applicable)?
6. Opposite hand structures clearly designated?
7. Anchorage to foundation:
a. Hole size appropriate for anchor rod size shown on foundation drawings (i.e.,
5/16” or ¼” larger than anchor rod diameter)?
b. Hole layout match anchor rod layout shown on foundation drawings?
 c. Anchor rod stick-up (shown on foundation drawings) long enough (e.g., allow for
+/- 1" steel adjustment)?
d. Grouting of base plate shown if required (if so, then should also be shown on
foundation drawings)?

weather) provided for tubes and other enclosed parts?
12. Grounding holes/tabs:
a. Layout consistent with MSE standard grounding details?
b. Double hole tab near base (typically required for all structures)?
c. Single hole tabs at 4 feet +/- o.c. (typically required for equipment supports,
switch stands, box structures, H- and A-frames; typically not required for single
pole lightning masts and bus supports with no other equipment attached)
