In this particular

In this particular situation, no ground was requested by the client's engineers.
And boy howdy, do they have a lot of engineers. So dont tell em.
I have had to do extensive grounding on some of my pieces, depending on location.
For instance, I installed a pair of similar, but smaller, pieces, beneath a 280,000 volt overhead line- and there, they not only required grounding, but the client, Seattle City Light, had their linemen install the double ground loops.
I also had to ground my big cowboy boots in Denver last year- pound in 10 foot ground rods for each boot, and then use huge double ought copper wire with crimped connections to the sculpture.

Seattle, however, is not a very lightning prone locale, and so grounding is less urgent.
