adequately sized to support the cables without bunching and a 25% reserve margin shall
be allowed in size and weight be loaded.
6.
All routes are chosen to allow ease of access to all cables when installed. All
horizontal cables are to be set around all vertical rising services as necessary. Ensure
sufficient clearance from soffit for every installation.
7.
Earth continuity conductors shall be provided across gaps in all Cable Tray /
Trunking runs and bolted connections.
8.
9.
Additional support shall be provided where the Cable Tray / Trunking changes
direction or cables drop out of the cable tray. Dome headed bolts, nuts and washers of
finish suitable to the tray shall be used between trays.
10.
Suspension sets comprise threaded M10 zinc or cadmium plated hanger rods
together with nuts and locking washers, supports channel hold down clips all of which
shall have a galvanized finish. Any cut ends supports, rods, etc, must be corrosion
protected by use of galvanized or equal. No extended rods to be left.
11.
The cable tray shall be installed with a 40mm minimum space between the structure
and the tray.
12.
All cable shall be securely fixed to the tray, work and the complete installation must
be carried out in a neat and workmanlike manner without crossovers.
13.
Cables on face-up horizontally fixed tray must be secured by use of the tie wraps
where not in view. If cables are bunched or single cables greater than 25sq mm are
installed, cleats or metal straps shall be used.
