The Owner reserves the right to use said certificate with the competent authorities in its liability disclaimer and
to enforce against the Contractor any civil liability that may arise from the falseness of said document or from
inaccuracy in the material execution of the work with enforcement of the guarantee set forth in the contract of
which these specifications are part.
3. ERECTION REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Tray installation
The trays to be erected shall be metallic, made of perforated galvanized steel plate, wire, or they shall be
ladder cable trays, except where the Detail Engineering Company specifies trays made of plastic. In the event
that a raised access floor (electric substation, rack rooms, control rooms, etc.) is made according to
specification ES-R-01.00 “Raised Access Floor. HILTI MQ Channel System,” the fact that the cable trays
located under said floor are made based on modular channels shall be reported and subject to prior approval
by the Owner and installed as set forth in said specification.
For tray connections, the Contractor shall always supply and erect the materials of the commercial technology
available, avoiding the use of alternative solutions of any kind.
The Owner shall provide the accessories for curves, T-pieces, and reducers. If this does not occur, these
accessories shall be built on-site with the trays handed over by the Owner, with payment of the unit prices in
the contract. The need for accessories and their manufacture is defined in the table in Chapter 6 of these
specifications, “Measurement and Payment Standards.”
All cuts and welds that must be carried out to be able to install the trays must be cold galvanized.
Perforated or wire cable trays, every 1,500 mm in longitudinal lay-outs (based on a uniform load of 75 kg/m; for
uniform loads over this amount, the distance between supports shall be consequently reduced), and their paths
shall be chosen so as to prevent the possibility of mechanical damage and they are as straight as possible.
Ladder trays may be supported at greater distances upon of the Contractor's proposal and with prior approval
from the Owner's Representative.
Supports shall be made with UPN-80 or L-80 channels. Supports shall be supplied and manufactured by the
Contractor and, after they are created, they shall be hot dip galvanized or painted according to Diagram 1 of
the standard drawing PE-B-0600.01 “Painting diagrams” and specification EC-B-53.00 “Application of Paint”.
Alternatively, the Contractor may supply and erect the support based on the hot dip galvanized modular
channels, of the type approved by the Owner. During assembly, the Contractor shall repair the surface of
cutting zones where the base material of the channel is exposed with cold galvanizing.
In any case, the type and size of the supports must be approved by the Owner's Representative.
The design of the supports must allow the trays, structures, and equipment to be flame proofed, avoiding
interference.
Trays shall not be supported on piping or process equipment without the express authorization of the Owner's
Representative and under no circumstances if the temperature of the piping or equipment goes above 150ºC.
A safety distance of 300 mm shall be maintained between the tray pathway and the hot piping or equipment,
including the thickness of any potential insulation on piping/equipment.
The trays shall be grounded to the general plant network, at several points, in accordance with the Owner's
Representative. Continuity shall be ensured between sections. The two ends shall be connected as well as at
intervals less than 50 m as a general rule.
The same trays shall not be used for pneumatic cables and tubes.
3 ERECTION REQUIREMENTS © REPSOL S. A. Madrid, 2019

3.2. Conduit tube installation
The conduit tube shall be rigid, cold-stretched steel with or without seams, galvanized inside and out.
The diameter of the conduit tubes shall be indicated in the engineering drawings. The Contractor shall ensure
that three or more cables do not occupy more than 40% of the tube section, two cables nor more than 30%,
and one cable no more than 50%. As a general standard, the sum of the diameters of all the cables can never
be above two tube diameters. In the event that these criteria are not met, the Contractor shall report this to the
Owner's Representative.
The Owner's Representative shall oversee the creation of the threads, not allowing the use of die stocks that
do not guarantee the automatic alignment of the cutters and an accurate adjustment of the diameters. The
thread openings of the pipes shall have a thread length sufficient to reach the bottom of the accessory, and
shall also have at least two extra threads. The number of threads in the accessory shall be at least five.
The interior flashes caused by cutting the pipe shall be completely eliminated with a round file or reamer, killing
the sharp edges that may be made by cuts to cable insulation.
In installations exposed to the outdoors, Hylotyte compound or equivalent shall be used on all screw joints in
order to provide the installation with the appropriate protection against water.
The conduit shall be supported with clamps so that the stacked boxes do not support mechanical stress.
Connection nuts shall be used immediately before the switchboards so that, wherever possible, the installation
is disassembled without cutting the conduit. Best practice in the position shall determine their use in the most
appropriate places. Connection nuts installed in vertical sections shall be assembled in the “pro rainwater”
position. In order to prevent galling, the threads shall be protected with Molykote grease (in oxygen plants and
other highly explosive atmospheres, instructions shall be required from the Owner's Representative about the
product to be used).
For changes of direction, conduits smaller than three inches shall be curved with an appropriate machine that
shall not deform the circular section of the tube. For sizes of three inches and larger, a standard threaded
elbow fitting shall be used.
The elbows of the tubes shall have a radius of curvature no less than 10 times their exterior diameter. The
connections between straight sections of piping shall always be made with threaded sleeves.
The Contractor shall be responsible for carefully inspecting the inside of the conduit, removing any dirt that it
may contain before use and throwing out any that may have scum from galvanizing, reporting this to the
Owner's Representative.
3.3. Box installation
The box shall be supported at 1350 mm from the floor using the lower side as a reference.
In the event that it must be attached to pillars with clamps or welding, the material necessary to manufacture
these components shall be provided by the Contractor, as well as the anchor materials and those for attaching
the box to the support. Supports with a frame anchored to the pavement are accepted.
The box support shall be in accordance with the place where it shall be anchored. It shall always be in the
format most appropriate to perfectly secure the box.
Supports shall be manufactured by the Contractor and subsequently, hot dip galvanized or blasted and painted
according to Diagram 1 of the standard drawing PE-B-0600.01 “Painting diagrams” and specification EC-B-
53.00 “Application of Paint.”
channels, of the type approved by the Owner, similar to the provisions of point 3.1 “Tray Installation.”
The cable entries on the boxes shall be available both on the bottom and/or sides, preventing kinks in the
cable, if the diameter so allows. To do so, sufficient space must be left for the tray to pass through the back of
the box, and it must vertically reach up to approximately half a meter from the lower side of the box, allowing
for cables in said area to be handled. The connection of trays to boxes shall be done according to standard
drawing PE-J-1302.01, Examples of tray assembly for junction boxes to pillars.

The boxes shall be grounded with a fastener designed for this purpose. Welding on the boxes shall not be
permitted. Grounding is the Contractor’s responsibility,and shall be done at the closest possible point.
The Contractor shall verify that the type of gland (increased security or anti-explosion) to be assembled in each
box is appropriate for the classification of the area in which it is installed. Special attention shall be paid to
connecting anti-explosion devices in locations at risk for explosion. When explosion-proof glands are required,
the Contractor shall check that the rubber ring to hold the cable is the exact size for said cable. Otherwise, the
Contractor shall report this to the Owner's Representative.
When glands, tubes, or other accessories must be connected to threaded inputs with different types of threads,
the appropriate and certified gear unit parts shall be installed (if applicable).
In the boxes, bungs shall be placed on drills that have not been used.
The fasteners on the connection boxes must be completely clean before they are closed. In order to prevent
them from rusting and/or seizing up, they shall be coated with a mineral-based lubricant film, supplied by the
Contractor. In areas with high levels of rainfall (e.g., A Coruña and Bilbao), they shall also be given a
watertightness treatment, consisting of a full taping of the joints on boxes and glands.
3.4. Laying and hanging cables and multicables
Cable spools shall be collected from the Owner’s warehouse, transported to the site, unloaded, and handled by
the Contractor, as many times as necessary. Unpacking them shall also be the Contractor's responsibility.
In order to lay or hang the cables, the spools must be erected over the jacks supported on slabs on the ground.
The amount of cable designated in the purchase order and marked on each spool shall be cut. Additional costs
shall be charged to the Contractor if it does not respect the forecasted amounts from each spool and this
circumstance leads to a lack of cable. The amounts of cable that are cut from the spools shall be monitored in
order to prevent excessive waste. In order to maintain control over cabling, the format attached as Annex I
shall be used.
Before cutting the lengths of the cables, the Contractor shall verify the real lengths required in the
corresponding field, accurately measuring the channels built or the tray routes, leaving a reasonable margin on
the ends to connect it to the equipment. This margin shall be a maximum of 2 m on each end. If the real length
required is above the designated amount for said length on the corresponding spool, the Contractor shall notify
the Supervisor immediately, prior to cutting the length.
It is the Contractor’s responsibility to return all the spools to the warehouse, indicating the remaining meters of
cable on the spools that are not empty.
During the time in which the spools are in the Contractor’s position, it shall be responsible for safeguarding
them; if any spool is returned in poor condition, it shall be repaired at the Contractor’s expense.
Cables shall be complete in a single length, from one tip to the next. Cable splicing shall not be allowed, and
may only be done in junction boxes and in the event that the length of the cable is greater than the supply.
These splices shall be done with bushing.
All provisional ends of the cables shall be protected from dirt and moisture in order to prevent their insulation
from being damaged. Caps made of heat-shrinkable material shall be used. The cap or hood shall remain until
the last phase of connection.
Cable insulation and continuity testing shall be performed on the cables before they are placed at the site.
3.4.1. Underground cables
Before laying the cable, the Contractor must verify that the trench is free of obstacles, dirt, and foreign objects
that may damage the cable. The removal thereof shall be the Contractor's responsibility.
The trench must be kept clean and free of water. The Contractor shall consider this work to be included in its
scope until the trench is fully filled in with sand.
The cables shall normally be laid in trenches lined with concrete, distributed without horizontal spacing, and
with 150 mm of vertical spacing. Each cable shall be laid by adjusting for the cable laid previously.
Several cables cannot be laid simultaneously through the same trench, even if they are subsequently
arranged.

Cables shall be laid with the gap necessary to prevent stress due to being placed at the bottom of the trench.
Once the cables are laid and before the trench is filled in with sand, an insulation test shall be performed on
each cable, in the presence of the Owner's Representative.
The cable outputs through pavement shall be protected with galvanized steel conduit tubes that are 1 m high
and sealed with compound paste. The gross supply of the tube shall be carried out by the Owner, and the
Contractor must cut it, curve it, thread it, place the nozzle, and affix it properly in place, until the mortar is
poured and set.
Street crossings, entrances into buildings, etc. shall be made using plastic tubes (PE or similar), or a steel
tube, supplied and placed with others. The Project shall set the number of cables assigned to each tube,
editing a drawing that includes the layout. In the event that this information is not available, the Contractor shall
request it from the Owner's Representative. The instructions from the Owner and the standard drawings PE-J-
1300.03 “Instrumentation Cable Routes” pages 1 to 3, as well as PE-P-0100.03 “Strength and Control” shall be
followed.
The cables shall go through pipelines without being forced, and measures shall be implemented to prevent
damage. Where necessary, talc or another commercial product especially designed to facilitate the movement
of the cable shall be used. Covering them for this purposes with grease or Vaseline shall not be permitted. In
the points where the cable enters into a pipeline, it shall curve with a wide radius.
When spare tubes are to be used for cables at crossings or building entrances, they shall be left at the top in
order to facilitate future use.
Cables that go up to rack rooms, control rooms, or substation elevated over the ground shall be distributed on
the floor of the building through trays or tubes. Once the cables have been laid, the holds shall be sealed in
accordance with the specifications of design specification ED-N-02.00 Passive anti-fire protection of structures,
equipment, and cable trays.
Underground cables shall be identified with stainless steel markers that shall have a cable number stamped on
them. These markers shall be affixed to the cable at intervals no greater than 30 m, 50 mm from the ends, at
changes of direction, and at the inputs and outputs of roads or similar made with precast concrete blocks or
tubes. The type of band and format of the marking shall require approval from the Owner's Representative.
The use of mechanical means for tensile cable must be authorized by the Owner. In this case, the stress must
be controlled by a dynamometer.
The cables shall slide over a sufficient number of rollers to avoid their covers being damaged. The appropriate
accessories shall be used to attach the end in order to guarantee that the insulation shall not be damaged.
The same amount of attention shall be had when sliding the cable from the spools, avoiding the formation of
kinks that, if subject to tensile stress, shall damage the layers of insulation in the cable.
3.4.2. Aerial cables
Aerial cables shall be installed over trays or held inside steel tubes throughout their path, with unsupported
sections of cable being allowed in connection terminals to instruments where a kink shall be left before
connection.
The cables must be correctly combed and they cannot be crossed. Only one layer shall be allowed in the vertical
channel trays when there are several of them that make accessing lower layers more difficult.
Cables shall be supported on the tray so that they are taut and not unhooked. Generally, the distance between
clamps cannot be more than 300 mm in horizontal sections or 900 mm in vertical sections.
Cables shall be temporarily hung with black nylon tape or similar, never with wire. The excess plastic flanges
shall not be cut in order to prevent damage to the cutting end. Plastic tape can never be used as a definitive
outboard mounting method.
To be definitively affixed to the tray, the cables shall be stapled with a perforated aluminum or galvanized steel tape
and galvanized steel fasteners in order to prevent galvanic corrosion on the tray.
Any other method of stapling cables must be previously approved by the Owner. If it authorizes stapling with metallic
strips of a material compatible with the tray, the seals (closures for fastening) thereof must be done under the tray and
not above, in order to minimize potential damage to the cover of any second layer of cables that may be subsequently
hung.

Each cable shall be identified with stainless steel bands that shall have the cable number stamped on them.
The identifiers shall be placed on the cables every time they enter or exit the trays; at intervals of a maximum
of 8 m, and close to junction boxes. Individual cables shall also be identified when they reach each instrument
and box.
The power cables shall be hung in trays other than those for signals, as indicated in design specification ED-J-
13.00 “Electrical Connection of Instruments”. Moreover, the Intrinsically Safe Cables must go through different
trays than NOT Intrinsically Safe Cables, unless otherwise indicated in said specification.
3.4.3. Laying cables in a raised access floor
In rack rooms or control rooms, one part of hanging cable in the air or laying it underground may require laying
it in the raised access floors of rack rooms or control rooms, with ladder trays installed between the supports of
the technical floor or under the soleplates of the equipment.
They shall continue to be separated by signal type.
3.4.4. Data paths or fiber optic cabling
When necessary, data path or fiber optic cabling shall be done on the paths designed for such purpose.
Cabling shall be done through tube conduits made of corrugated metal or on trays with or without bonnets,
following the Owner’s instructions.
Fiber optic cables and data lines shall be connected by others.
3.5. Connecting cables
Cables shall be stripped so that the exterior PVC covering is inside the glands or cable glands and without
gaps. No connections in which cable was stripped before reaching them shall be accepted.
Multicables shall enter the box from below and individual cables shall enter from the sides or below in order to
prevent water from getting in. Cables cannot enter from above.
The cable mesh or shield shall be assembled according to the appropriate instrumentation grounding scheme.
The signal cable shield shall be insulated with insulation tape or similar on the side connected to the
instrument. Connected on the side of the junction box, there shall be the corresponding bushing, bushing P, as
indicated in the connection diagram.
The shield threads (drain) shall be coated with a thin insulating tape before connection.
The third threads from each cable, power equalizers, where available, shall be connected to the plate below it,
2
which is installed for this purpose. From this plate, a separate 10 mm cable shall be taken out, which shall be
insulated with a yellow/green coating, which shall go to the box’s fastener for this purpose and shall be
connected to the grounding network from the outside.
The appropriate terminals shall be installed on conductors with flexible cables, not threaded ones. NOT on
thermocouple compensation cables.
The threads must be identified before they are connected to terminal board clamps. A small kink shall be left so
as to not put stress on the conductor.
3.6. Instrument supports
Supports shall be manufactured according to the models and dimensions stated in the project documentation
and/or Owner specifications.
The supports shall be assembled once their location has been verified in the field, considering that they must
be installed so that they are easily accessible, avoiding interference with plant entrances and equipment.
The supports shall be placed on the floor with a concrete block where necessary, on structures or platforms.
They shall not be assembled on piping.
The supports shall be perfectly anchored vertically and they shall be reinforced so as to avoid vibrations.

The instruments shall be placed as close as possible to the principal tapping but shall be easily accessible for
calibration and maintenance from the ground or work platforms. Where possible, and unless otherwise
indicated by the Owner's Representative, the instruments shall be installed at a height of 1,350 mm from the
reference drawing (floor or platform).
Instrument supports shall be supplied and manufactured by the Contractor from 2” L-7 carbon steel tube and,
after they are manufactured, they shall be hot dip galvanized. They may also be painted according to Diagram
1 from standard drawing PE-B-0600.01 “Painting diagrams” and in compliance with the requirements of
specification EC-B-53.00 “Application of Paint”, if authorized by the Owner's Representative. The measures
contained in standard PE-J-1700.01 “Standard Supports for Instruments” Sheet 1/2 are approximate and they
shall adapt to the needs of the site location.
channels, pursuant to standard PE-J-1700.01 “Standard Supports for Instruments” Sheet 2/2. This erection
shall be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s technical instructions of said modular profiles and if
the supports of the instruments so allow. During erection, the Contractor shall repair the surface of cutting
zones where the base material of the channel is exposed with cold galvanizing.
