3. HEALTH AND SAFETY

 Strictly followed as per the manufacturer's Health and Safety
recommendations for handling and use of the materials.
 Ensure all involved personnel shall be aware of the same.
 Specific safety measures have to follow as applicable, and all the safety
measures are covered separately in the project safety plan.

4. OPERATION
 Material: 

 Material used will be as approved by the Engineer.

 The sizes and routes routing will be as per the approved Shop
Drawings.

 Storage and Protection: 

  Deliver components parts to site, completely identified in accordance
with shop and certified CAD Drawings prepared for this work.

 Store in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, above

ground, properly protected from the weather and construction activities.

5. INSTALLATION AND FIXATION

 Pre-Installation:
 All materials and documentation relevant to this particular section of
works will be checked and verified ensuring that these are correct
and approved type.

 Prior to the commencement of works, ensure that the areas for

permanent installation are ready, accessible and in suitable
condition.

 Installation:
 No conduit smaller than 20mm in diameter or larger than 32mm
diameter shall be used.
 Where a terminal block to be accommodated in the circuit box an
extension ring shall be provided.
 Draw-in conduit boxes shall be incorporated at intervals not
exceeding:

 Straight run - 10 m.

 Run with four bends - 2.5 m.

 Run with three bends - 5 m.

 Run with one or two bends - 10 m.

 Conduits, which are more than slightly damaged, shall be rejected.

Conduits in floors shall be routed and installed so as to avoid the
fixings of floor standing equipment to be installed on the floor.
 All joints in PVC conduits, other than screwed joints, shall be
cemented with a waterproof adhesive. This adhesive shall be as
recommended by the conduit manufacturer.
 Screwed connections between steel conduits and accessories shall
be screwed up tight , where coupled by a socket the conduit ends
shall butt together; running joints shall be provided with back nuts
which shall be screwed up tight.
 PVC conduit shall be saddled at a minimum of 1 meter intervals. All
saddles, tubes and boxes must be in perfect alignment to avoid any
appearance of warping when the installation is complete. Saddles
should not be so tight as to prevent expansion of the conduit.
  Steel conduits run on the surface shall be secured with galvanized
saddles spaced not mores than 2 meters apart, on the other hand,
a space bar type saddles will NOT be permitted.
 Conduits shall not be run closer than 0.15m to any steam or hot
water pipes and shall be run underneath such pipes rather than
over them. It should not also be run closer than 0.05m to any
telephone, bell or other signaling circuit.
 No wiring or draw-in wires, cables or wire of any description are to
be drawn into the conduits until the section of the conduit system
involved is complete.
 Drawn-in boxes must be provided to give access to all conduit for
the drawing-in or out of any cable after the installation is completed.
 Particular care shall be taken to ensure that no grout or other
foreign materials enters the conduit system through joints, or
through surface openings. Screw holes in boxes must kept entirely
free and clean. After screeding, a compressed air is to be blown
through the conduit system to ensure that it is clean and a steel
draw wire of adequate size to be pulled through to a certain that no
obstructions is adhering to the inside of the conduits.

 Commissioning:
 When conduits are run on shuttering, prior to the laying of concrete
insitu, additional security must be provided near to every box and at
intervals of not more than 1.2 meters by binding short lengths of
steel wire, of not less than 2mm diameter twisted around the
conduit and reinforcing steel. The conduits shall be adequately fixed
to prevent excessive movement and damage during the pouring
and setting of concrete and shall be protected from mechanical
damage. Check there is no damage before screed / concrete is
poured. Unless otherwise indicated to cast in conduits shall not be
less than 30mm.cores to plastered over conduits shall not be less
than 5mm.

 Where conduits are left "open ended" prior to wiring they shall be
protected by caps or plugs to prevent the ingress of building
material.

 All conduits runs must be designed to permit wiring to be readily

installed after the complete erection of the conduits through the
available draw-in, accessory and luminary suspension boxes.

 Where surface mounted equipment (other than luminaries) is

specified, all concealed conduits shall be terminated and an
adaptable box installed recessed into the wall at every surface
mounted equipment position.
  Where conduits pass through an external wall/roof the conduit box
shall be fitted on the side and after wiring filled with an inert,
permanently plastic compound having a high insulation value.

 Make provision in conduit and trunking, installation where building

expansion joints are crossed or settlement is likely

 Ensure conduits are not concealed until works has been inspected
and approved. Ensure that conduit and fittings buried in concrete or
behind plaster are protected against corrosion or electrolytic action
prior to rendering.

 Technical Assistance:
 The installation supervising technician for the system trade shall
instruct the CONSULTANT Engineer, and Construction Site
Manager on the programming and correct operation of the
system after the installation is completed.
 This instruction shall be scheduled at the convenience of the
staff.
 All such instruction shall be properly recorded.
 WIR will be issued for Consultant approval upon making sure that
the installation of the system equipment’s done as per approved
shopdrawings and specs and manufacturer recommendations.
