1 GENERAL
The scope of work to be performed by the Contractor “ ALTHAAER ALARABI CO.” is for Power Transmission
Line to Siba Remote Areas, which mainly includes but not limits to the following works:
To supply power to various remote sites in Siba gas field, KEIL intends to construct the permanent power
transmission network to reduce the operation and maintenance expenditures. In the field there are multiple
locations that fed power through temporary and solar power sources to the various remote facilities. This
project is intended to supply permanent MV/ LV power supply to the below locations from single power
source and the existing power sources shall be used as backup.
• Siba1
• Siba4
• Hub 1
• BOC Camp
• Raw Water Intake Station (RWI)
• BOC Main Check Point

4 FIRE AND GAS SYSTEMS CABLES ACCORDING TO BRITISH STANDARD BS5839 PART-1
BS5839 cable is designed to meet the comprehensive British Standard BS5839-1 detailing a code of practice
for the design, commissioning, installation and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems in non-
domestic buildings. These range from single manual call points to complex networked systems with
numerous automatic fire detection and communicating control panels. The Standard covers the operation of
fire protection systems such as smoke control, emergency lighting, automatic door release, fire alarm
systems, voice alarm systems, fire extinguishing systems, and any associated safety measures such as
elevator grounding, valve closing, or air handling shutdowns.

5 BS5839-1 CABLE PRODUCT SPECIFICATION - STANDARD / ENHANCED

Cables are designed to ensure that the interconnections between fire alarm systems operate correctly for an
appropriate length of time in the event of an evacuation. However the BS5389 cable standard refers
to ‘Standard’ and to ‘Enhanced’ grade cables, which determines the level of fire resistance that the cables
offer. The ‘Enhanced’ grade is designed for use where the fire detection and fire alarm systems need to
support evacuation for a greater duration than that offered by the general use ‘Standard’ grade fire proof
cables during a fire situation.

In addition to complying with the specification set out in BS5839-1, when tested in accordance with EN
50200, Standard fire performance cables must achieve a class of at least PH30. They must also maintain
circuit integrity for at least 30 minutes when exposed to a sequence of flame, mechanical shock and water
spray. The requirement for Enhanced fire-resistant cables is 120 minutes.

Enhanced fire-resistant cables are also recommended for the following applications:

in un-sprinklered buildings (or areas) in which the fire strategy involves evacuation of occupants in
four or more phases
In un-sprinklered buildings of greater than 30m in height
In un-sprinklered premises and sites in which a fire in one area could affect cables of critical signal
path associated with areas remote from fire, in which it is envisaged people will remain in occupation
during the course of the fire
In any setting where, on the basis of a fire risk assessment, the designer, specifier or regulatory
authority considers that use of Enhanced fire resisting cables is required.

The different parts of this Standard cover the variations in practice for domestic and non-domestic usage
as well as other applications and should be referred to directly when commissioning and designing any
project.

6 OTHER STANDARDS REFERRED TO WITHIN BS5839-1

This Standard makes references to a number of other relevant standards in relation to electrical cables
including BS7629 and BS7846 for armored fire-resistant cables with thermosetting insulation and low
emission of smoke and corrosive gases when affected by fire. Cables are tested to BS EN 60754 (Acid Gas)
and BS EN 61034 (Smoke Emission).
