PRACTICAL EXAMPLE DIRECTIONS Many times, our clients will ask us to do an analysis of what we can build with what we have on hand. This is something that is needed right away, so timelines are always tight, and information is hard to find. The knowledge of how to do this cannot be taught but must be figured out on each job. Every one of our clients has different methods and references for the engineering.

In this scenario, you are given the drawings for the conductor assemblies and the tower data sheets. These are common drawings on our projects. Additionally, you have been given an on hand count of the inventory on your yard.

You are to answer the question of which assemblies on which towers can we build with the inventory on hand; the order of construction at this point is from Tower 213 – Tower 135.

The expectation is that you put together a product that you will email out to the client and the project management staff answering this question. It is also expected that you can explain how you got your answers if needed.
