CHAPTER III
DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR CARRYING OUT
SIGNALLING WORKS
0.1 The detailed specification for the works which are to be carried out by the contractor are
as stipulated hereunder:-
0.2 The work shall be carried out according to the drawings approved by the Railways and
shall conform to the provision in Signal Engineering Manual and Schedule of Dimensions.
The contractor shall be solely responsible for the proper execution of the work as per
specification.
1.0 CABLE LAYING:-
1.1.1 CABLE TRENCH:-
Excavation of cable trench shall be made in all kinds of soils including clearing roots of
trees, rocks bushes etc., to a depth of 1.0M and a width of 0.3M/ 0.5M as required, for
laying cables. Trenches shall be straight as far as possible and steep angles shall be
avoided. Alignment of the main cable route as well as track/ road crossing will be given
by Railways. While taking the trench, all the roots of trees, bushes, rocks, if any, should be
cleared. The bottom of the trench shall be leveled and got rid of any sharp materials.
Proper protection to cables to be given while crossing power cables, pipe lines etc., as
required by Railways.
a. Signalling/power cables will be laid as close to the track as possible. The cable, track
separation distance both within station limits and in the block section shall generally not
exceed 6 Metres.
b. It is desirable that the excavation of trenches is not done in long lengths and does not
remain uncovered overnight. It is preferable that trenches are dug, cables laid and refilling
done on the same day.
c. The contractor who supervises the excavation work shall have the shoring materials ready
on hand so that on banks where ashes or loose materials are encountered, shoring can be
adopted.
d. During excavation, the earth of the trenches should not be thrown on the ballast. The earth
should be thrown by the side of the trenches away from the track. Plastic sheets/gunny
bangs may be used wherever necessary to cover the ballast.
1.1.2 In RE area the following clear distances shall be maintained between the signalling cables
and the OHE mast or other structures likely to develop high potentials or switching
stations earth.

1.2 LAYING OF CABLES:-
1.2.1 Before the cables are laid, a visual inspection of cable shall be made and it shall be tested
for insulation and continuity of the cores. The insulation resistance of a new cable shall
not be below 500 M.Ohms per Km. at 20 deg C. The cable insulation should be measured
using a 500V insulation Tester (Megger). If there is wide disparity between insulation of
different conductors, the condition of the cable should be thoroughly checked before
permitting its use. Bedding and armouring shall be inspected to see that there has been no
damage during transit or in storage. In case where the wheels are not available or the area
is not convenient for rolling the wheels, along the routes, the drum shall be mounted on
the axle at one end of the trench and cable payed out. It should be carried out by adequate
number of men, ensuring that the insulation of the cables is not damaged and no kink/twist
is formed. In no case shall the drum be rolled on the road for laying of cables and the
cable dragged on the ground for laying purposes. The cables shall be laid gently into the
trench and not thrown out under any circumstances. Before laying of cable in the trench, a
visual inspection shall be adequate for any damage or defect throughout its length.
Normally cable laying should be commenced only after the relay room and apparatus
cases, cable termination box on the route at the respective stations are ready and the
cable should be duly brought inside at the relay room/apparatus cases immediately after
the cables are laid, however, if for any reasons the cable is be laid in advance, special
care should be taken to ensure that the coiled cable near the relay room/apparatus cases
is fully protected before and during the construction of the relay room/apparatus cases and
during final termination. The coiled cable shall be buried well in the ground such that the
depth from the ground level to the top layer of the coil shall not be less than 1 M and shall
be fully covered with a layer of bricks horizontally in its entire length and provided with
adequate number of the cable markers. On no occasion, the ends of the cable should be left
unsealed unless terminated properly.

shall be done only in the presence of Railway's Supervisory staff and also after safety
precautions have been taken to post flagmen on all the sides as may be required to stop
any trains approaching the site of the fouled line.
1.2.5 At each end of the main cable/tail cable/power cable an extra coil length of 6 to 8 Metres
should be kept.
1.2.6 At the time of commissioning of the cable, the insulation values of the cable should again
be checked and the value obtained shall not be below 500 Meg.Ohms per Km at 20 deg.C.
If there is wide disparity between insulation of different conductors, the condition of the
cable should be thoroughly checked before permitting its use. The reading shall be
recorded in a register based on Annexure `C' for all power cables, main and tail cables.
1.2.7 The contractor shall furnish the final as made cable plan and cable route plan and in R.P
film with eight prints showing the distance of cables from the nearest track centre.
