herein.
b. The single line wiring diagrams indicates the type and sizes of reticulation mains required for the various
services. This work shall be carried out to comply with the IEE and PLN’s requirements and the requirements
of this Specification.
2. Protective Covers: Cable cover plates, made of high impact resistant hard PVC or concrete block with language
danger sign and voltage rating indicated at interval shall be laid over all cables along the entire route of
underground cables so that there shall be no gap between the covers. The width of the plates shall be sufficient
such as to cover the cables completely.
3. Cable Ducts: At road crossings, the cables shall be protected with 150 mm diameter heavy duty PVC or galvanized
pipes encased in concrete and buried to depth of 900 mm below road level or as shown in the drawings. Similar
ducts as necessary shall also protect Cable crossings at drains or entry into buildings. Unless otherwise instructed,
all cable entry points shall be protected by means of pipes up to a height of 250 mm. Such pipes shall be painted
as directed.
4. Back filling and Reinstatement. After all protective covers have been laid, the trenches shall be back-filled and well
rammed and consolidated. The finished surface shall be left proud by 50 mm to allow for subsidence.
5. The Contractor shall be responsible for the removal of any surplus soil or debris.
6. Reinstatement and making good of all excavations to its original condition shall be deemed to be included in the
Tender Price.
7. Cable Markers: Cable markers shall be provided and installed with the top surfaces flush with the ground level to
identify the cable routes and any joint positions. Markers will be of reinforced concrete and inscribed with indented
lettering reading “ MV CABLE ” or “ CABLE JOINT “ and shall be installed at every 30 m along the route and at any
changes in direction.
8. Cable Handling: The most important point to observe in handling cables is that great CARE must be exercised at
all times. Every precaution should be taken to avoid dropping a drum of cable.
9. Dropping, even from a small height will flatten the layers of cable nearest to the barrel of the drum due to the
weight of the outer layers. Similar distortion will also occur if the drum falls on to its side.
10. Then rolling the drum into position, it is essential that the drum roll smoothly in the directly of the arrow painted on
the side of the drum.
11. If this instruction is not observed, slack cable will end to accumulate towards the inner turns and may possible
result in damage to the cable.
12. When the drum is in position, it should be mounted on Jacks and disposed so that the cable is pulled off from the
bottom and not over the top.
13. It is preferable to mount the drum at one end of the cable run as close as possible to the edge of trench so that the
cable can be pulled off in a continuous manner on rollers in the trench and is in its final position when the last turn
leaves the drum.
14. This procedure is not always possible because of obstructions or pipes under which the cable has be threads.
15. In such cases, it may be necessary to position the drum at some other point along the cable run and lay-off the
cables on the ground near the drum in a series of loops, one above and the other in the form of a figure eight,
crossing the cable back and forth on itself.
16. When the whole length has thus been removed from the drum the inside and of the cable will be on top and can be
pulled along towards its final position on rollers in the same manner as if the cable was coming off the drum itself.
17. Whichever procedure is adopted, great care must be taken at all times to ensure that the cable is not twisted and
that the turns are well above the minimum bending radii of the cable.

PT. WIETASHA PUTRINDO WISATA C1 - 7 ALAM KULKUL RESORT PROJECT


18. As a general rule, the absolute minimum bending radii of cables is as follows:
