1. PURPOSE
This note specifies the good practices that the supervisors must follow on overhead line
sites, to judge the compliance / non-compliance of the foundation work done by a contractor
in charge of overhead transmission line construction.

2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
- Contract(s)
- Specification(s)

3. DEFINITIONS AND ABREVIATIONS

"Contract" means together the Agreement, the Conditions of Contract, the Employers
Requirements and the Reference Design.
“Contractor” means the EPC Contractor as defined in the Contract.
“The Engineer” means the Consultant as defined in the Contract.
“Witness Points” means critical steps in the construction process for which the
Contractor shall notify the Employer, in advance, of the date and time when the steps
are reached. In case of Witness Point, the Contractor carries on the works even if the
EMPLOYER is not present at the time and date when the Witness Point is reached.
“Hold Points” means critical steps in the construction process for which the
Contractor shall notify the Employer, in advance, of the date and time when the steps
are reached. In case of Hold Point, the Contractor must not carry on the works beyond
the Hold Point time period without the EMPLOYER authorisation
“OHL” means Over Head Line

4. ROUTINE SUPERVISION
The witness and hold points to be inserted are limited to:

- Members checking (visual)

- Bolts checking (tightening, flattening if required)

5. PLANNED SUPERVISION

5.1 SUPERVISION PROGRAMME

The planned supervision concerns the components of tower materials and the Erection
works.

Prior to the erection work, CC will submit erection procedure detailing: works, material to be
use, erection loads, manpower to be on site.

The Engineer will check the procedure in respect with common practices and specifications
requirements.

Electricité du Cambodge OHL Guidelines for works supervision and commissioning

The extent, the type and the minimum frequency of the recommended planned supervision
are listed in the sections hereafter.

Tower storage and transportation will be checked randomly.

Erection works will be witnessed randomly: bolts tightening, joints and plates, member
geometry, tower geometry.

Tightening should be checked randomly, as much as possible. Attention will be paid for all
connection plates, joints between main stressed members.

Verticality and Alignment of Each Erected Tower could be checked (T and L), after visual
examination (only in case of visual misalignment)

Safety will be checked on site: site supervisors to check use f safety belt (linemen on
station), wires aspect (anchors, lifting), verticality of gin pole during erection, workers not to
stay under loads and linemen (fallen objects)

5.2 TOWER STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION SUPERVISION

Storage
Inspection

Tower members Visual (deformation, galvanization, rust…)

Storage Visual

Transportation and Loading Visual (handling, protection)

5.3 ERECTION SUPERVISION

Designation of works Extent and frequency

Loading of components  visual, protection of members, handling

 Frequency: randomly

Erection tools  visual (wires, puller, handling tools, protection, cranes,

gin pole), compliance to CC’ erection procedure

 Frequency: randomly

Erection  visual (installation of anchor point, pulleys, wires, gin

pole, crane location)

 Frequency: every tower

Checking of erected tower  Survey of verticality and alignment (T,L faces)

 Frequency: in case of visual non conformity

Checking of tightening  Measuring of tightening of bolts

 Frequency: randomly

Tower assembly  visual (compliance to drawing, members geometry )

 Frequency: every tower, visual

Galvanization  visual (coating)

 Frequency: randomly

 thickness measures (magnetic gauge)

 Frequency: randomly

Safety  visual (safety belt, workers under loads, wires check)

 Frequency: randomly

5.4 SUPERVISION REPORTS

Site Engineers and Site Supervisors shall either fill in a prepared form i.e. a supervision
sheet described hereunder.
