large collection of peer-reviewed IEEE and other industry standards and guidelines related to overhead transmission line design, testing, construction, and maintenance is summarized in this recommended practice. This includes aspects such as structures, foundations, conductors, insulators, hardware, and electrical effects. It identifies the documents in an organized and comprehensive fashion along with explanations of the material presented within each document and when a particular document should be considered.

P1025
Guide to the Assembly and Erection of Concrete Pole Structures
This guide presents best practices that improve the ability to assemble and erect self-supporting and guyed concrete pole structures. This guide covers construction aspects after foundation installation and up to the conductor stringing operation. Concrete pole structures might have components made of other materials (i.e., steel, wood, aluminum). Though some aspects of construction related to these materials are covered in this document, it should not be considered complete. Other documents cover these materials in more detail (see IEEE Std 951-1996).
P1724
Guide for the Preparation of a Transmission Line Design Criteria Document
This guide provides a template to assist line design engineers in gathering and organizing information into a coherent design criteria document for use in the design of overhead electric power transmission lines, generally at voltages of 69 kV and higher. The guide is also useful for the design of lower voltage lines.
P524
Guide for the Installation of Overhead Transmission Line Conductors
This guide provides general recommendations for the selection of methods, equipment, and tools that have been found to be practical for the stringing of overhead transmission line conductors and overhead groundwires. The guide also includes a comprehensive list of definitions for equipment and tools used in stringing and for stringing terms commonly employed. This guide does not address special conductors such as those used for river and canyon crossing because they may be custom designed and often may require special considerations.
P951
Guide for the Assembly and Erection of Metal Transmission Structures
This guide presents best practices for the assembly and erection of self-supporting and guyed steel or aluminum lattice and tubular steel structures. This guide covers construction topics after foundation installation and up to the conductor stringing operation.
P977
Guide to Installation of Foundations for Transmission Line Structures
This guide presents various approaches to good practice that improve the installation of transmission line structure foundations. This guide covers only the construction aspects of the installation of the foundations.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
524-2016
IEEE Guide for the Installation of Overhead Transmission Line Conductors
General recommendations for the selection of methods, equipment, and tools that have been found to be practical for the stringing of overhead transmission line conductors and overhead groundwires are provided.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
524-2003
IEEE Guide to the Installation of Overhead Transmission Line Conductors
Revision of IEEE Std 524-1992. SUMMARY: This guide provides general recommendations for the selection of methods, equipment, and tools that have been found to be practical for the stringing of overhead transmission line conductors and overhead groundwires. The guide also includes a comprehensive list of definitions for equipment and tools used in stringing and for stringing terms commonly employed. This guide does not address special conductors such as those used for river and canyon crossing. These conductors may be custom designed and often may require special considerations.
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
977-2010
IEEE Guide to Installation of Foundations for Transmission Line Structures
Various approaches to good construction practices that could improve the installation of transmission line structure foundations are presented. Spread foundations, drilled shaft foundations, pile foundations, and anchors are treated. This guide is intended to be used as a reference source for those involved in the ownership, design, and construction of transmission structures.
