Current through Register Vol. 47, No.14, January 8, 2025

Rule 875-71.5 - [Effective 2/12/2025] Installation permit requirements

(1) Installation will not begin until an installation permit has been issued by the department. A separate installation permit will be issued for each conveyance, except that a single installation permit will cover all identical wind tower lifts installed as the result of one construction contract in identical wind towers in a single wind farm.

(2) Application for an installation permit shall be accompanied by the fee, in the format required by the director, and include the following, as applicable:

a. Sectional plan of car and hoistway.

b. Sectional plan of machine room.

c. Sectional elevation of hoistway and machine room including the pit, bottom and top clearance of car and counterweights.

d. Size and weight of rails and guide rail bracket spacing.

e. The estimated maximum vertical forces on the guide rails on application of the safety device.

f. In the case of freight elevators for class B or class C loading, the horizontal forces on the guide rail faces during loading and unloading and the estimated maximum horizontal forces in a post-wise direction on the guide rail faces on the application of the safety device.

g. The size and weight per foot of any rail reinforcements where rail reinforcements are provided.

h. Job specifications.

i. For a conveyance covered by ASME A17.7, a complete copy of the CCD with attachments and a complete copy of the Certificate of Conformance with attachments as described by ASME A17.7, Appendix I, Section 4.5.

j. For a CPH, the number of CPH jumps planned, the planned dates for each CPH jump, and the change in the number of floors anticipated with each CPH jump.

(3) A CPH installation permit issued in response to an application submitted in full compliance with this subrule permits each planned CPH jump. Each CPH jump will be considered an alteration. The fee for a CPH installation permit is the total of the CPH installation permit fee and the CPH alteration permit fee.

(4) Issuance of an installation permit is not a waiver of any requirement of law.

(5) The installation permit or a copy of the installation permit shall be conspicuously posted at the worksite. All the wind towers covered by a single installation permit are a single worksite, and posting one copy of the installation permit at the construction project office is sufficient compliance with this subrule.

(6) Except as described here, the installation permit expires upon the earlier of the completion of the installation as described in the permit application or one year after issuance.

a. For a CPH, the installation permit expires upon completion of the last CPH jump.

b. For any conveyance, during the tenth month after issuance, and upon submission to the director of sufficient justification, the fee established by this chapter, and other required information, an extension may be granted at the discretion of the director.
