Listen now: https://lnkd.in/gXnqvJFC In the revised version of ANSI/ASSP A10.48 that was released in 2023, one of the notable changes was the institution of construction plans replacing what was formerly referred to as “rigging plans”. What were the reasons behind this change, and how does a contractor navigate the various classes of construction plans and what is required? In this podcast, we are joined by Dale Shumaker and Brian Bicknese, to answer these questions and discuss common misconceptions they have seen regarding construction plans.

Check out the latest content on the Effective Application of TIA-5053-A How Additional Mount Classification Ratings Benefit the Industry. https://lnkd.in/gF8cRHwp Special thanks to our authors Dominic Newnham Carlo Franceschino, P.Eng. Scott Stekr, P.E. and Dale Heath TIA-5053-A, Mounting System Classification standard, plays a crucial role in classifying mounts and normalizing information from manufacturers. This standard benefits end users and contractors by enabling them to compare and select mounts based on maximum capacity. By utilizing TIA 5053-A or ANSI/TIA-222-I, manufacturers and engineers can determine additional mount classification ratings for site-specific considerations. This approach allows for the rating of mounts at less than full design load, resulting in lower mount to structure reactions and more realistic outcomes. #TIA #MountClassification #IndustryStandards #Engineering #Manufacturing Michelle Kang, PE Dale Heath Karmen Rajamani Scott Kisting Carlo Franceschino, P.Eng.
