RE: providing shop joint in the protected zone
And even after all that, you'd still need EOR approval I'd think. And many EOR's would surely be Leary of the added risk. Would it not be more economical shift the splice to a more favourable location, even at the cost of additional wastage?
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
