9

Verify that the local AHJ is contacted, all applicable codes and

 

 

site-specific location guidelines are reviewed, and all required

 

 

permits are obtained.

 

10

Verify that the site location has clearances for the HP POD 40c

 

 

G2 installation, including any permanent structures, such as

 

 

fences, walls, vestibules, and buildings.

 

11

Verify that all utilities, overhead and underground, are

 

 

identified to maintain required clearance.

 

12

Verify that there is adequate clearance around the HP POD 40c

 

 

G2 for door operation, installation, and maintenance

 

 

equipment.

 

13

Verify that the site location and site pads are marked for any

 

 

transformer, external switchboard, generators, and

 

 

powerhouses.

 

14

Verify that the site has provisions for proper grounding and that

 

 

the site location includes a grounding electrode system.
