HP responsibilities
Item Description Sign-off
1. Engagement plan
Develop an engagement plan with specific
requirements relating to the proposed installation site.
2. Site visits
Schedule site visits on mutually acceptable dates,
during normal HP business hours.
3. Test equipment
Document any test equipment used in the customer
report.
4. Installation site
review
Review and discuss the proposed installation site with
the customer. This initial review includes physical
examination of the proposed installation site and, at
the sole discretion of HP, can include physical
measurements of the area size and clearances.
5. Indoor/outdoor
installation
Identify whether the HP POD 20c installation is indoors
or outdoors as this can affect the degree and type of
infrastructure required and the mounting needs.
6. Site pad
Inspect the proposed installation site to assess
compliance with the HP POD 20c mounting
specifications. Ensure that the customer is fully aware
of the following requirements:
•
Proper support capabilities must exist. If the
customer intends to edge or point load on the utility
and cargo ends, there must be support in the center
to prevent deflection.
•
Upon installation, the POD structure must be
leveled to ≤ 0.5º, which can be checked at that
time with a surveyor’s transit.
•
Shimming is allowed around the perimeter of the
POD.
•
Place shims in increments across the length of the
HP POD 20c to ensure that the HP POD 20c is
level.
7. Materials and
construction
inspection
Visually inspect the materials and construction at the
proposed installation site to identify issues that can
impact the HP POD 20c installation. Verify that the
area is adequate for truck delivery, staging, and crane
location.
