View Full Version : Building/Structure Use: Electrical

Perhaps we need another new use category for transmission towers and other electrical related structures and facilities.
I noticed Marco’s recent submission for a Transmission Tower with the Pimary Use as “Mechanical” and secondary as “Industrial”. I would say it’s definitely not mechanical as it has no moving parts. I would class it as Electrical followed by Industrial. There are other possibilities where Electrical would apply too including: Power generation facilities (Hydroelectric, Nuclear, Fossil Fuel, etc), Transmission Towers, and Telecommunications infrastructure.

don't forget "windturbines" as Energy/Electrical Structure
next problem:
Transmission Towers, Chimneys or Highrises with Antennas for Cell Phones - are they "Telecommunication infrastructure" too? Or only Towers which were only built because of these Antennas?

Wind Turbines are also Mechanical in addition to Electrical!
We do have "Communications" as a Type so that would cover off most of the Telecom items I guess (anything that is wireless??)
"Electrical" would pretty much involve only those structures or facilities involved with production, transmission, distribution, etc. of electricity directly (although I believe that could include microwave towers in some instances).

Dump 'em all into Infrastructure.

Infrastructure also includes roads, sewers, tunnels, bridges, potable water supply, waste water treatment, curbs and gutters, ....

Just a quick reminder: "Electrical" use is for those structures that produce, transmit, or otherwise handle electricity directly.
Radio & Telecommunications towers, antennae, etc. are properly listed as "Telecommunications". While they may have some electrical components, it's not a primary function and just about every structure has somthing electrical on it somewhere.
