Analysis Of The Influence Of Construction Site Conditions On The Selection Of Copper-clad Grounding Rods

In different engineering environments, the installation effect of copper plated ground rod is directly affected by factors such as on-site soil structure, underground obstacles, and soil resistivity. Variations in soil composition and moisture content result in significant differences in soil resistivity. High resistivity soils often fail to achieve ideal grounding performance, necessitating a reassessment of the size and layout strategy of copperbond earth rod.

For hard soils such as rock layers or gravel layers, the conventional length of earth bonding rod will not be able to penetrate to the predetermined depth smoothly. Limited construction tools also complicate the driving process. Properly planning the length and diameter of ground rod 3 4 x 10 is a necessary pre-construction step. Construction personnel typically adjust parameters based on on-site drilling data or soil resistivity test results to adapt to deep soil conditions.

By measuring soil resistivity at different depths, a grounding layout scheme is developed to select the most suitable ground rod 8 ft insertion depth and number. The resistivity characteristics exhibited by the formation can help determine whether a longer or parallel threaded copperbond earth rod circuit is needed to meet design requirements.
