3. HEALTH
AND SAFETY
Ø Strictly followed as per the manufacturer's Health
and Safety recommendations for handling and use of the materials.
Ø Ensure all involved personnel shall be aware of the
same.
Ø Specific safety measures have to follow as applicable, and all the
safety measures are covered separately in the project safety plan.
4. OPERATION
Ø Material:
·
Material used will be as
approved by the Engineer.
·
The sizes and routes routing
will be as per the approved Shop Drawings.
Ø Storage and Protection:
·
Deliver components parts to
site, completely identified in accordance with shop and certified CAD Drawings prepared for this work.
·
Store in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, above ground, properly protected from the weather
and construction activities.
5. INSTALLATION
and fixation
Ø Pre-Installation:
· All
materials and documentation relevant to this particular section of works will
be checked and verified ensuring that
these are correct and approved type.
· Prior
to the commencement of works, ensure that the areas for permanent installation
are ready, accessible and in suitable condition.
Ø Installation:
· During the
course of the installation of the conduit system, procedures for working and
dressing the installation as recommended shall be employed.
· All bends
and sets shall be in accordance with IEE regulation 522-08 formed with the aid
of a helical spring fitted internally, with if necessary, the conduit warmed
sufficiently for it to move without avoidable wall thinning of the out side of
the bend.
· Conduit
system shall be installed so as to ensure compliance with the requirements of
Specified Standard and Regulation.
· Joints
between PVC conduit + fittings shall be made with suitable adhesive, but
expansion couplings shall be installed where any length of conduit , inclusive
of draw in boxes etc, exceeds five meters in length.
· The
minimum and maximum sizes of conduit to be employed shall be 20mm and
32mm diameter respectively, unless otherwise stated in subsequent sections of
the Specification .
· Conduits
in floors shall be routed and installed so as to avoid the fixings of floor
standing equipment to be installed on the floor.
Ø Commissioning:
· Where
conduits are left "open ended" prior to wiring they shall be
protected by caps or plugs to prevent the ingress of building material.
· Where surface mounted equipment (other than luminaries) is specified, all concealed conduits shall be terminated and an adaptable box installed recessed into the wall at every surface mounted equipment position.
· Where conduits pass through an external wall/roof the conduit box shall be fitted on the side and after wiring filled with an inert, permanently plastic compound having a high insulation value.
· Make provision in conduit and trunking, installation where building expansion joints are crossed or settlement is likely
· Ensure conduits are not concealed until works has been inspected and approved. Ensure that conduit and fittings buried in concrete or behind plaster are protected against corrosion or electrolytic action prior to rendering.
Ø Technical Assistance:
· The installation supervising technician for the system trade shall
instruct the CONSULTANT Engineer, and Construction Site Manager on the
programming and correct operation of the system after the installation is
completed.
· This instruction shall be scheduled at the convenience of the
staff.
· All such instruction shall be properly recorded.
· WIR will be issued for Consultant approval upon making sure that
the installation of the system equipment’s done as per approved shop drawings
and specs and manufacturer recommendations.
