1.1
Purpose
To describe electrical works associated with installation of exposed conduits for protection of power
cables from mechanical abuse and a serious fire risk if the wires are damaged or cut.
1.2
Scope
This method statement is covering the electrical works related to areas having cables running outside
concrete walls, brick walls, and floor slabs. In any room where aesthetics are not an issue, such as an
unfinished basement, mechanical room or garage, steel conduit is a good choice to enclose exposed
wiring. Works are carried out basing on construction schedule and detailed shop drawings approved.

3.2.7
The exposed conduits shall be held in the right position by using the saddles which are installed
directly to the concrete/brick wall.
3.2.8
Distance between two saddles shall be followed as shown on Table-1.

Conduit size
Maximum distance between saddles
20
1.2 m
25
1.5 m
32
1.8 m
Maximum distance from saddles to boxes : 0.3 m
Maximum distance from tangential line to saddles : 0.3 m
Standard of saddle spacing (Ref: BS 31)
Table-1
3.2.9
The maximum permissible length of the metallic flexible conduit used for the connection to the
fixture unit should not exceed 2000mm (see detail 03).
3.2.10 Install straps or other means of securing the conduit in place is spaced much closer together (every
1500mm and within 300mm. of each end) for flexible conduit than is necessary for rigid conduit
(see detail 01).
3.2.11
To provide flexible conduit for exposed conduit installation where have the expansion joints, joint
for fixtures, and equipments (see Detail-01 to Detail-05).
3.2.12 Always lay the exposed steel conduits parallel or perpendicular to walls and structural members.
3.2.13 Minimize the number of bends in any single conduit run. Follow minimum bend radius
requirement.
3.2.14 Bushings, locknuts, couplings, connectors are made up tight to ensure good continuity. Use double
locknuts when insulating bushing is used.
