[BC] AM Grounding and Bonding

[Andrew Skotdal]

We're driving steel pipe piles 55 feet down to support some new AM
self-supporting radiators.  

 

1.	If there are nine piles below the foundation, do you ground to
one of them or to all of them?
2.	What type of attachment from your ground system should be bonded
to the pile(s)?  
3.	Do you use 6 inch strap?  If so, how do you avoid electrolysis
between the steel pipe and copper strap, and how do you avoid the
calcium in the concrete eating your copper strap?  (Is the lack of air
enough so you can run the copper through the cement without protecting
it?)
4.	Or, do you use some kind of lesser coated copper wire similar to
a heavy gauge wire you might use in connecting studios to your frame
room?
