A conductor driveability study is a vital precursor to the installation process and provides a range of crucial information, including
- the stresses that the conductor will have to withstand during the driving operation
- the conductor’s load-bearing capacity, so calculations can be made for how much hardware can be hung off the conductor
- the depth of penetration required to achieve refusal under hammer blows of a defined force, which is essential for the maximum possible structural integrity of the conductor.
CIS routinely carries out these studies, and in challenging cases often exploits its close links with fellow Acteon companies that possess specialist knowledge.
