What this planner does
The tool creates a regular pull-point spacing model. It is specifically concerned with where additional pull points may be introduced along a route, rather than identifying junction branches or fabricating conduit bends.
Calculation method
The planner determines how many intervals are required to keep the modeled spacing at or below the preferred value. It then places points at equal intervals between the route boundaries while respecting the entered start offset.
Existing pull points
An existing point count is reported so the result distinguishes the new points suggested by the spacing model from points that already exist in the route plan.
Worked example
A 100-unit route with a 25-unit preferred spacing produces four equal intervals and three internal points. The exact positions are displayed so they can be compared with real accessible locations.
Spacing is a planning assumption
The entered spacing is not presented as a universal electrical standard. Actual pull-point requirements can depend on route geometry, cable characteristics, conduit configuration, installation method and applicable project requirements.
Safety and limitations
Confirm final point locations against access, enclosure selection, route bends, cable pulling calculations and project-specific requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use feet or metres?
Yes. Use one consistent unit throughout the calculation.
Does this calculate pulling tension?
No. Pull-point spacing and pulling calculations are separate engineering questions.
Can existing points be irregularly spaced?
This simplified model uses a count, not their individual coordinates. Irregular existing locations should be reviewed separately.
