6. PROCEDURE
Installation

Ensure that grounding conductor and rods are as per approved BOQ and drawings for use.
Ensure the depth of excavated trench for buried grounding conductor is as per client specification before laying of grounding mesh.
Obtain PTW (Permit to work) if required.
The spacing of grounding mesh shall be laid as per approved drawing.
Grounding rod shall be driven vertically up to required length.
Thermite weld mold size and powder type shall be same brand for joints connection.
Weld all junctions with thermite weld mold and weld powder properly .
Ensure solid junction and connection as result of thermo-welding.
Apply bituminous paints for additional protection of all joints after cleaning thermite weld connection, with steel brush.
Wrapped the applied bituminous paint with vinyl tape.

Testing
Measure contact resistance of all bolted or thermite welded joints at 100 A DC.
Check and verify all thermite welded joints, securely connected to mesh.
Check electrical resistance of grounding points and main grounding system according to IEEE Standards.
Measure the grounding grid system by “ fall of potential ” method .
