Abstract :
Ground rods are an effective means of obtaining and maintaining a low resistance to remote ground. However, present methods of installation fail in rocky or hardpan soils. A technique has been developed that assures installation regardless of the subsoil conditions and offers a reduction in resistance of up to 36% per rod.
