Ufer Grounding

Re: Ufer Grounding

I believe I saw it posted that at least one area requires the rebar to stick out of the footing to make the GEC connection visible.

NJ? FL?

The footing is usually below grade. Here in the northeast it could be several feet below grade.

Pierre, I am referring too where you would stub up a single piece of rebar for connecting the GEC. I do this inside the electrical room, not outside.

Where I bond the rebar to a ground ring, I specify copper cable in the footing to exit at strategic locations around the perimeter.

this is a common installation in my area also. We will either be on the job at this time or go by and attach a piece of rebar before the pour.

We usually stub this up inside the Main Switchboard.

Re: Ufer Grounding

In this area a slab can`t be poured without a ufer inspection,some areas differ.some want rebar stubbed out just below grade level,some require #4 connected to the rebar in the footer.But regardless of which no concrete is poured without uffer signed off.

Re: Ufer Grounding

Roger to do that you would have to have a basement non here......Unless you stubbed it out of the slab

Re: Ufer Grounding

Allen, as I said, we attach a piece of rebar (to the footer steel) and run it to the location.

As a matter of fact, I've done the same thing in your part of the world.
