Structural

I am a civil structural engineer and interested in switching to unility engineer. Have read ASCE 10 -97 for transmission structures. am reading 1724E-200(transmission line design manual). The former is purely about structure analysis. The latter in addition to structure also includes non traditionally structure staff, like vertical/horizontal clearance, etc. all used for structure spotting. In a real work setting who will does this structure spotting, civil engineer or electrical engineer?
Is it a must for a structure engineer to command this knowledge?

Thanks
