17. TUG (temporary underground power) Services

18. Definition of T.U.G. Service Installing a permanent service to a building while under construction instead of using a saw pole (Temp service pole), to supply power for construction. See following photos

19. What’s wrong with this Picture? Not code compliant Dangerous Not protected

20. Code Violations: NEC article 408.37 states: “Panelboards in damp or wet Locations shall be installed To comply with Article 312.2. NEC Article 312.2 states: “Enclosures installed in wet locations shall be weatherproof”

21. Meter enclosure showing that it is energized. Some of the problem here is the lack of a disconnect to shut power to the panels inside if an accident occurred such a truss falling on the panel leaving the possibility of exposed energized wiring.

22. This is an example of an energized panel in a tract home. The tar paper was not on the roof at this time. The panel had water dripping out of it which could contribute to electrocution.

23. Another panel showing all house wiring entering an energized panel. Article 590

24. Recommendations All of the methods used in the previous pictures, I would not advise allowing in Pasco County. There are ways to accomplish TUG services and comply with the NEC Install a combination Meter and Panel outside at the service entrance. Supply required receptacles below outside panel Install and wire inside panel as normal Connect the 2 at final and call for inspection to energize. Any other code compliant installation.

27. Inspection types deficiencies for Video Framing Slab Sheathing nailing

28. Site Plan Question Q:Can we use the Developments Construction (Civil) plans approved by county showing the specific lot? A:YES. You need to have the COUNTY APPROVED SITE DEVELOPMENT PLANS, indicating the specific lot.

29. Site Plan Question Q:I.e. Paving Grading & Drainage pages or Erosion Control page... or our SWPP map that we develop to comply with State NPDES? (Not county approved) A:YES. You also need to have copy of the SWPP map and ESC map for the entire development. ( Those developed to comply with State NPDES) These plans should be located in the permit box and will insure that any overall BMPs have been installed throughout the site or at least the current phase. For a Single family lot, the BMP’s are narrative in nature and are at the discretion of the Builder. The Builder must insure that there will be no illicit discharges from the lot to surrounding lots or water bodies. The Inspector will let the Builder know of any deficiencies at the Pre-Construction inspection. No site clearing activities, except as required to construct BMPs, shall occur until the site has passed the pre-construction inspection.

30. Site Plan Question Q:I am told the inspectors are asking to have county approved plot plan which we do not get from county until building permit is approved? That would negate the whole idea of an early SW permit issuance...so we can survey lot, review soils & ensure dirt balances for the lot & proposed home going on it. Address any compaction issues if lot happens to require import or handle any unexpected soil issues (organics) too so when the permit is eventually issued, we are off to a good start. A: Our inspectors are not requesting approved lot plans for the Pre-Construction Inspection
