Each pad site (24 total) is connected via an underground concrete encased ductbank incorporating a series of multiple sized conduits for wiring and cabling. The pad sites were designated to receive either lighting equipment, antennas, shelters, transformers and/or communications equipment. Approximately 12,000 linear feet of ductbank including 70 manholes were incorporated in this project.
