Please provide feedback on the subject matter below....

What can it be said about having an electric utility be bonded to the building ground conductor for a high rise electrical distribution system? Should the electric utility be bonded to the building ground conductor or not?  please advise......

RE: Electric Distribution Utilily Bonding to Building Ground

Does this utility feeds the high rise?

Are there Codes where this building is?

Indeed, the electric utility provides electrical power to the high rise electrical system.

The electrical system withing the high rise system was build based on the NEC 2008. Please advise............

RE: Electric Distribution Utilily Bonding to Building Ground

So they are already interconnected, aren't they?

So what could be the answer? You still haven't clarified what part of the utility you want to interconnect...

There is a full article on Grounding in the NEC 2008, perhaps you want to refer to that.

Yes, utility neutral must be bonded to building ground.  This is required per the NEC.    The NEC also describes in great detail how this is to be accomplished.
