While a good perimeter and Single Point Ground System is the ultimate
design goal of any above-average or typical commercial ground system, I've
never seen a site use 100 ground rods. The aforementioned ground systems use
buried copper wire or strap to interconnect the dozen or two ground rods that
ARE recommended.
Again, the Polyphaser book or my reprint are good starts.
