A. Conduit Fabrication and Installation

Verify and ensure that conduits are free of ultra violet damage. Conduits
that became discolored because of prolonged exposure to SAES-T-911,
A1
sunlight/ultraviolet rays (UV), shall not be used in telecommunication para. 5.1.5 (1)
conduit system.

Verify conduit spacers with a minimum of 38 mm separation between

SAES-T-911,
A2 conduits are used in all concrete encased conduit sections. Typically,
para. 5.1.4 (9)
spacers are placed 1.5 to 2.4 meters (5-8 feet) apart.

Ensure that, when joining conduits (Bell ends, joints, couplings etc), the
ends are dry and free of all foreign matter, joined while the cement is wet SAES-T-911,
A3 and cured undisturbed for 30 min. Also, verify that conduit ends are fully para. 5.1.3.3 (a-
and properly seated and aligned in the conduit end bell socket of the e)
conduit section to which it is being joined or in the joint coupling.

Verify and ensure that proper solvents, cements and primers are being
used for joining the conduit sections and it is not placed in excess to avoid
SAES-T-911,
A4 having it forced to the interior conduit wall. Ensure that solvents, cements
para. 5.1.3.2
and primers shall comply to all precautions of the manufacturer when
these products are in used.

Verify and ensure that the color orange is used to identify the
telecommunication facilities. Orange colored marker/identification tape
shall be placed in the trench above the cable and the
specification shall be in accordance with SD: AA-036748, “Buried
Telephone Cable/Distribution Wire - Installation Details”. While for conduit
SAES-T-911,
A5 systems, this may be accomplished by placing orange marker tape above
para. 5.1.3.7 (7)
the conduit concrete encasement. Additional marker tape is to be located
300 mm minimum above the conduit system upper surface to provide an
early warning. This is considered the preferred method. The specifications
of the marker tape materials shall conform to SAMS Stock No. 18-070-
890 (SAP No. 1000-078-516) or equivalent.

Verify all trenches or other excavations that are 1.2 meters or more in
SAEST-911, para.
A6 depth are safeguarded by shoring or sloping the trench walls as per
4.9.3
SAES-A-114 paragraph 5.5.2.3.

Verify that corresponding conduits of conduit entrances in opposite ends

SAEST-911, para.
A7 of manholes shall be at the same level and in the same position with
5.1.3.1
respect to the side walls.

Verify that if the trench walls are used as a form for the concrete, the
SAEST-911, para.
A8 minimum thickness of 75 mm. (3 inches) of concrete is provided on each
5.1.3.6 (5)
side of the conduit bank.

Verify that Main Conduits stubbed out in the trench for future use is using
full 6 m. (20 feet) conduit sections for a minimum distance of 12 m. (40
SAEST-911, para.
A9 feet) from the central office or manhole wall and shall be sealed with
5.1.1
plastic caps cemented onto the end of each conduit before backfilling the
trench.

Except for the minor curves involved when splaying main conduits at MH
entrances, curves in conduit runs should be avoided whenever possible.
But, if necessary, verify that the constructed curves in a main conduit
section shall not:
SAEST-911, para.
A10 a) Transverse more than 90 degrees,
5.1.3.5 (1)
b) Have a radius of less than 6 m,
Main conduit sections shall not have more than the equivalent of two 90
degree turns.

Verify main conduit section lengths for various degrees of curve and radii
of curve should not exceed those indicated in SAES-T-911, TABLE 4.
SAEST-911, para.
A11 But, main conduit section lengths which exceed those shown in TABLE 4,
5.1.3.5 (2)
must be proven with cable pulling tension calculations and side wall
pressure calculations.

Verify the minimum amount of concrete encasement used shall be 75 SAEST-911, para.
A12
mm. (3 in.) along the top, sides and bottom of the conduit formation 5.1.3.6 (4)

Verify main conduit sections, placed in roadways and other traffic areas, SAEST-911, para.
A13
shall provide a minimum ground cover of 760 mm. 5.1.3.7 (4)

Verify that temporary plugs is placed at the end of each installed conduit
SAEST-911, para.
A14 in the trench when conduit installation is stopped for any length of time

(overnight, etc.).

B. Mandrel Test

Verify that each new conduit is cleaned and tested (in both directions) with
the appropriate size test mandrel. (Nominal Four inch inside diameter
SAES-T-911,
B1 conduits must pass a 3-5/8 inch diameter x 12 inch length mandrel and
para. 7.3.1 (a-b)
the wooden mandrel used have a round, 3 5/8 in.dia., square edge steel
plate or cap on each end of the mandrel.

Ensure that the mandrel test is performed before concrete encasement

SAES-T-911,
B2 and again after concrete encasement, and before doing any paving work
para. 7.3.1
over the conduits.

SAES-T-911,
Ensure that for Mandrel Test, Pass or Fail requirements; corresponding
B3 para. 7.3.5 and
commentary notes shall be followed as required.
