showing cable item. New Cable Trays shall be sized with at least 10 % of spare space
for future cable additions.
For PWT & HCU Area, Cable trays / ladders/ covers / fittings shall be heavy duty, hot dip
galvanized after fabrication to 85 microns Zinc coating. GAZPROM’s (GPNB) approval
shall be sought for Painted cable trays of proven type, painting suitable for the
galvanized surface and subjected to employer’s approval. Colour shade of the Painted
Galvanized cable trays for cable trays / ladders / covers shall be WHITE RAL 9010.
Where underground cable route pass below access areas with heavy vehicle
movement or roads, cables shall be taken through duct banks. The underground cables
shall be laid in minimum 150mm dia, PVC, schedule 80 U.V resistant PVC pipe,
encased in concrete, buried at least 700 mm below finished level of the road / below
grade level and in process area, minimum 450 mm below grade level. Duct banks shall
be provided with at least 10% spare pipes, subject to a minimum of two, sealed at both
ends, to cater future requirements. Bell mouths shall be installed on ends of each pipe.
The cables shall be protected from mechanical damage by using 150mm galvanized
steel conduit for stub-up from the cable trenches. The Stub-ups shall be at least 150mm
above the grade level.
In paved areas, concrete shall be colored red over electric cable trenches.
Cable shall be marked with tag numbers along their routes and at both termination
points. The spacing between cable tag markers along the route shall not exceed 10m in
straight length and at every branch out, where there is a change in direction of cable
route.
For underground cables laid in unpaved areas, cable route markers shall be provided at
every 30-40 m along the route (to indicate cable route above ground), at change of
direction in the routing and at both sides of road or pipeline crossings, except when cable
routing is already indicated by coloured concrete pavement. In paved areas, cable route
markers shall be provided at every 15 meters.
Spacing between instrumentation and low voltage electrical cables center shall be
1000mm. If cables are crossing at 90o, than the required spacing shall be a minimum of
300 mm. Wherever the LV Cable passes along the HV Cable, a spacing of 300mm shall
be provided between LV cables and existing HV cables.
