# Grounding

## Info

This script is intended to cover both electrical and telecom grounding
in lieu of detail sufficient for standard takeoff (e.g. a grounding riser).

Note that the material provided in this system is intended to be budgetary,
not especially consistent with the actual install.

## Sequence

### 1. Estimate preparation

Locate:
* Main electric room (service entrance)
* Remote electric rooms

### 2. Takeoff

`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`GROUNDING`

#### System Grounding

> Area: "01 - Feeders/Risers Building"

`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`GROUNDING`/`GND = #3/0 & 1" CONDUIT - EMT`

* Length: Measure around the main electrical rooms to stacked
* Count: Total number of electrical rooms

`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`GROUNDING`/`(3) ... x 10' CU CLAD GRD ROD & 4"X12" GND BAR`

* Count: 1

#### Riser

> Area: "Typical - Building All Electrical Riser Rooms"

`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`GROUNDING`/`GND = #3/0 & 1" CONDUIT - EMT`

* Length: 15
* Count: 1

#### Telecom Ground Bridge

Use only where shown.

`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`GROUNDING`/`TELE/DATA GND BRIDGE, ..., W/ COVER & (60') #6 THHN GREEN`

### 3. Extension (Review and Checking)
