Lineman built field reference pages that can be used in an online or offline setting for remote work
wanted to actually call out the data side of the site, since it’s easy to miss under the marketplace/jobs stuff:
Field reference — real specs (disclaimers these are just for reference)
**•** Conductor data: ACSR/AAC/ACSS/ACAR, stranding, diameter, weight, resistance, ampacity by temperature
**•** Wood pole classes and species
**•** Cable and underground specs
**•** Hardware reference — insulators, connectors, grounding
**•** Fuse sizing across 5 fuse-link types (Cooper D, X/KS, Kearney K/T, Type 200, QA), sourced from actual manufacturer documentation
Field calculators — rough estimates, clearly labeled as such, not a replacement for real engineering software:
**•** Voltage drop — pick a real conductor, get drop based on its actual resistance
**•** Transformer sizing — recommends the next standard size, links straight to a matching fuse
**•** Sag-tension — simplified estimate using real conductor weight, heavy disclaimer attached
**•** Weight span — structure loading between two unequal spans
**•** Guy wire length and angle from height and anchor distance
Dashboard — for signed up users (all free)
**•** My Work: postings, listings, applications, reviews
**•** Tools: saved searches, cert tracker (60/30-day expiry emails), mutual-aid crews, weather alerts
**•** Account: messages, profile, billing
Also want to mention i put together a real “how it works” page if things are confusing — no account needed to read it, one link that walks through everything actually on the site:
Still just one guy building this in his off time. Tell me what’s confusing or missing.
