08 Where cables or containment pass through fire compartment fire barriers shall be installed and the location
recorded on the record drawings. Fire barriers shall be reinstated by approved installers with certification
issued on completion of the reinstatement or renewal.
09 Cables shall not be laid in contact with polystyrene and in the case of timber frame buildings careful
coordination will be required to prevent this. The contractor shall also take great care not to damage or
puncture any vapour barriers.
10 Cable and duct entries to buildings shall be sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture, insects and vermin.
11 Cable terminations shall be enclosed and give basic protection as defined in BS 7671 “Requirements for
Electrical Installations. IET Wiring Regulations”. They shall be made using proprietary approved methods to
prevent damage to and ensure good contact with all the cable Strands. Pinch screw terminals shall consist of
two screws. Terminations shall be vibration-proof where connected to plant and machinery or any other areas
likely to have frequent movement.
12 Fixed connectors shall only be installed where specified. They shall be heat resisting and contained in a
separate labelled enclosure. They shall comprise propriety systems with suitable voltage grade and current
carrying capacity. All cores shall be labelled.
13 Cables terminating at distribution boards shall have adequate length to connect to all outgoing ways leaving

non-flame propagating complying with the following tests:
1. BS EN 60228 “Conductors of insulated cables“
2. BS EN 60332 “Tests on electric and optical fibre cables under fire conditions”
3. BS EN 61034 “Measurement of smoke density of cables burning under defined conditions”
20 Compliance with BS 7671 “Requirements for Electrical Installations. IET Wiring Regulations” Regulation 422.2
will also be required.
21 Cables shall not be installed or removed from the drum unless the ambient temperature and the temperature
of the cable are above 0ºC and have been so for the previous 24 hours. Where cables have been subjected to
temperatures below 0ºC, care shall be taken to ensure that they are above that temperature before they are
removed from the drum.
22 The contractor shall take all necessary precautions to prevent damage to cables during installation, and where
cables are installed in situations where works by others are incomplete, take all reasonable precautions to
protect the cables against damage arising from the execution of such other works.
23 In the event of damage to the sheath or armouring of any cable, the cable shall be replaced throughout its
entire length at no cost to the contract.
24 Three-phase groups of single-core cables carrying alternating current shall be laid, in trefoil formation and
touching each other. Where this is not possible, the disposition to be adopted shall be agreed with the
engineer before installation is commenced.
25 All cables shall be pulled into position in such a manner as to avoid any damage whatsoever to the cable or its
sheath. Cables shall wherever possible, be pulled directly from the top of the drum, which shall be supported
throughout the operation in such a manner that it is completely free to rotate.
26 Where circumstances make removal of the cable from the drum before pulling into position unavoidable, the
cable shall be laid out neatly on a smooth clean area of ground completely free of debris or anything likely to
cause damage to the cable. In such cases, ‘figure eights’ shall be avoided wherever possible, and care shall be
taken to avoid subjecting the cable to twisting.
27 An adequate number of cable rollers, each of which shall be undamaged and completely free to rotate, shall be
used to support the cable during pulling, in such a manner that no part of the cable can touch the ground, the
trench bottom or sides, or the walls of buildings. Cables shall not be dragged over concrete or other surfaces.
28 The number and positioning of rollers at bends in the route shall be such as to ensure that the minimum
bending radius for the cable is not approached.
29 Cables shall, wherever possible, be pulled into position by hand, using an adequate number of operatives
suitably positioned along the length of the cable.

Page 10 of 24
30 Winches whether power driven or hand operated and other mechanical aids shall only be used with the prior
authorisation of the engineer.
31 Wherever possible, cables which are intended to be winched into position shall be fitted by the manufacturer
with a suitable pulling eye, firmly attached to all of the conductors, before being dispatched to site.
32 Whenever a winch or similar appliance is used, an approved tension gauge shall be fitted into the haulage line
between the winch and the cable. The pulling tension must at all times be within the limit advised by the cable
manufacturer, which shall be communicated in writing to the engineer before the operation is commenced.
33 Cable stockings, when used, shall be of an approved pattern and the correct size, with swivel eye, in perfect
condition, and shall be fitted with care to avoid damage to the cable sheath.
34 When a cable stocking has been used on a cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) or LS0H sheathed cable and the
sheath, after removal of the stocking, shows signs of having been stretched, the cable shall be left for 30
minutes to recover. At the end of this period, if the sheath has not completely returned to its original position,
the cable end shall be cut back by an amount equal to the length of the stocking plus 300mm, then
immediately resealed.
35 During the course of pulling operations, the cable shall not be allowed, under any circumstances, to twist or
rotate about its longitudinal axis because of excessive pulling tension or for any other reason.
36 Whenever the length and arrangement of a cable run is such that excessive tension would be likely to be
needed to nose-pull the cable into position, the continuous bond method shall be employed. A wire pulling
bond equal in length to twice the cable length, to which the cable shall be securely attached at intervals not
greater than 1.8 m. Snatch blocks shall be used at bends in the run to ensure that the pulling tension is taken
by the bond and not by the cable.
37 All cable drums shall be handled with care to ensure that they are not damaged. All handling shall be carried
out using sufficient and adequate plant and equipment.
38 Any external cable joints shall be enclosed in a permanent joint chamber with removable cover in accordance
with the requirements for draw-in pits.
39 Any work carried out requiring the use of split ducts shall be carried out in such a manner as to permit future
cable withdrawal.
40 In rising ducts open to access, all non-armoured cables shall be protected against mechanical damage by the
installation of a 300 mm high mild steel ‘kick-shield’ suitably fixed at floor level. The ‘kick-shield’ to be of a
suitable robust nature and treated against corrosion.
5.0 IDENTIFICATION
01 A permanent non-corroding securely retained identification label shall be provided the ends of each cable
identifying its cable schedule reference and at all termination points including joint boxes. Alternatively, if no
cable schedule reference is available the identification shall include details stating the destination or origin,
construction standard, size, number of cores and circuit length. An acceptable means of identification is an
engraved trafolyte label fixed to the cable with plastic cable ties. Self-adhesive labels will not be accepted.
02 The cores of all cables shall be identified using the CENELEC harmonised colours or numbering for L1, L2, L3,
number of each circuit. In addition where multi core cables are used in a single phase installation the cores
