4. Scope of Work

4.1 Installation of Foundation Grounding:

 1 set of foundation grounding for every steel structure.

 1 set of bonding jumper to adjacent steel structure.

a. Attend "pre-start" conducted by project proponent and secure General

Work Permit and Excavation permit.
b. Preparation of tools and materials needed for the job at Plant 5
conveying system.
c. Provide solid barricade around the structure post. Precautionary
measures required during execution of work due to presence of loading
trucks.
d. Conduct chipping of concrete post 200mm (center) above the ground
level. Required length and depth shall reach up to the minimum of 3
main members of rebar.
e. Fabricate "L" steel bracket based on the chipped off concrete made of
black iron steel with 5mm thickness. The length of the shorter leg shall
have 50mm measurement outside the concrete surface. Conduct hot
dipped galvanization of support.
f. Weld "L" bracket into the 3 main members of rebar. Plaster re-filled the
remaining opening after installation of connector bracket using grout.
g. Install unit strut support 200mm atop of steel structure base. Install
25mm diameter IMC conduit into the conduit support. The length of
conduit shall be installed nearest to cable ends.
h. Prepare 95mm2 bare copper wire for the connection of steel bracket
and steel structure. The total length of bare copper is the summation of
the length from the steel bracket to the top of concrete post and
500mm leading to the steel structure. Provide compression lug on the 1
end of bare copper and connect to the steel bracket using 16mm
