5. METHODS OF INSTALLATIONS

Electrical PVC Conduit

5.1. Pre-Installation Works

1. Drawings checks. Ensure all drawings are the latest revision and approved for

Construction issue. Ensure all drawings are fully co-coordinated with all other

Services and installations. Builders work drawings shall be submitted for approval

Prior to the commencement of installation.

[

2. Ensure all work areas are released by the main contractor, before proceeding

With the works.

[[

3. Ensure a copy of approved for construction piping layout and detailed

[[

Drawings showing floor plans, elevations, details of wall / floor penetrations are

Available.

4. Mark all pipe routes on the slab using chalk lines. Make sure all routes are as
[[

Per the approved shop drawings.

5. Check the location of structural openings in relation to piping routes as

[

Indicated on the drawings.

6. Check the location of the piping within risers to ensure adequate space has
[

Been allowed to facilitate the services.

7. During the course of the installation of the conduit system, procedures for working and

Dressing the installation as recommended shall be employed.

8. All bends and sets shall be in accordance with IEE regulation 522-08 formed with the

aid of a helical spring fitted internally, with if necessary, the conduit warmed

sufficiently for it to move without avoidable wall thinning of the outside of the bend.

9. Conduit system shall be installed so as to ensure compliance with the requirements of

Specified Standard and Regulation.

10. Joints between PVC conduit and fittings shall be made with suitable adhesive, but

expansion couplings shall be installed where any length of conduit, inclusive of draw in

boxes etc., exceeds five meters in length.

11. The minimum and maximum sizes of conduit to be employed shall be 20mm and

32mmdiameter respectively, unless otherwise stated in subsequent sections of

the specification.

12. Conduits in floors shall be routed and installed so as to avoid the fixings of floor

standing equipment to be installed on the floor.

[

13. Check all the HSE requirements are OK

a. All personnel will be equipped as minimum with the necessary

Personal protection equipment’s as mentioned below:

 Helmet.
 Steel Toe Boots.
 Safety gloves and Goggles.
 Reflective vests.
 Safety barricades for lifting, hydrotesting operations.
 All safety equipment, warring devices shall be provided and used by the
working personnel.

b. All testers will be aware of all site dangers and will be briefed in accordance with
“Site Rules”
c. The joint cooperation of personnel and management shall provide

clean working conditions and free of environmental hazards.

System Group Chief (site engineer) shall direct their staff and

manpower, and supervise them for conformance of Quality

Manual.

d. Daily housekeeping at each working space, collection and disposal of

Debris at a certain area.

14. The work starts with the acknowledgement to the Contractor. Any obstruction

Or difficulty arising from other disciplines’ works or hindering situation is reported

To the Contractor immediately.

15. The foreman in charge gives brief information to the installation team about the work
to be done, materials, fitting, tools and key points of the installation.

6. FIXING OF CONDUITS

Electrical PVC Conduit Fittings

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
