Hi,
A contractor I've worked with on a previous project just asked me if I know anything about this subject. I haven't encountered it but I can't find anything on it from a building code or fire code point of view (just OSHA).
A multifamily mid-story building in NYS is being constructed (approved already) and is being built under high voltage transmission lines. The clearance is only 5' from the lowest wires to the top of the roof.
To me this sounds like a dangerous fire hazard let alone a problem with OSHA on the construction of it.
Does anyone know more information on this subject? I'm surprised their engineer did not catch it....
Just curious at this point.
