Material Selection

Material List A wide selection of products which have met HDBs requirements are found in the HDB Material List. The list serves to help Consultants choose products with good track records in quality and reliability for use in HDB Residential Housing. The HDB Material List can be viewed from the web address: http://ml.eptc.sg. The HDB Material List includes accessories, cables, circuit breaker, consumer control unit, fire alarm system, isolator, lightning protection system, luminaries, mechanical control system and switchgear equipment. Consultants may also propose products which are not in HDB Material List. However, these products are subject to HDBs concurrence and must meet the specified performance / quality criteria. Approval of Material The Consultant shall approve all electrical material samples as specified in the Contract before setting up of timber mock up and sample units. Before approving any product, the Consultant must ensure that it conforms to Specifications and Drawings, the relevant Code of Practice and any other statutory requirements. The approved samples must bear the Consultants endorsement and be displayed in the site offices sample display room for verification against those installed on site. The Consultant shall supervise and ensure all electrical fittings are carried out with the approved material and using approved installation methods.

Jan 2012 Housing & Development Board

Material Testing The Consultant shall randomly select material listed in Schedule of Material Tests at the site for testing in a timely manner. Selected samples are to be marked for identification before sending to the relevant test laboratory. The test laboratory must be accredited for the test in question. The tests are to ascertain that the material complies with the performance standard stated in the Specifications. All test results must be reviewed by the Consultant. If there is a test failure, Consultant must inform HDB immediately and follow up with a re-test at no additional cost to HDB. If the re-test fails, Consultant shall recommend follow-up actions for HDBs concurrence.

Timber Mock-Up

Purpose With the extensive use of precast components in HDB residential building, it is important to provide timber mock-ups on site at the beginning of construction. This allows adjustments to be made to the workshop drawings before precast production and thus prevents abortive works. Problems related to design, maintenance and practicality of the proposed layout could also be addressed during the timber mock-up inspection. The mock-up is to be constructed accurately to scale. The mock-up should show the proposed locations of sanitary pipes and electrical points in the kitchen, toilets, air-con ledge and service yard so that openings and recesses for concealed services could be confirmed.

Some common issues to look out for are: a) b) c) d) e) f) floor waste/trap not obstructed by structural beam; lighting points not obstructed by ceiling-mounted clothes drying rack; use of external clothes drying rack not hindered by air-con ledge; sufficient clearance for access to the air-con ledge for installation and maintenance of the air-con compressors; toilet vent and other fittings do not obstruct future installation of shower screen; and any other practical considerations.

Timeline to Construct The Consultant shall ensure that the Contractor erects the timber mock-up for each unit type within three months from the start of the Contract.

Inspection

The Consultant shall inspect and verify the position of all electrical provisions before approving the precast drawings.

Jan 2012 Housing & Development Board

The following are some of the items to be checked by the Consultant: a) The switch socket outlets and switches are to be provided according to drawings and located in suitable positions. Provision of the water heater point should be close to the proposed location of the storage heater.

b)

Sample Units

Purpose Sample units are set up to ensure that the position, height and quantity of electrical accessories are constructed according to specifications, drawings and sales brochure before mass production. In the event of discrepancies between drawings and sales brochures, the latter will take precedence. The sample units would also serve as a reference for workmanship standard.

Timeline for Setting Up Construction of the sample units should commence when structural work reaches the 5th storey and be completed within two to three months. A sample unit is to be provided for each flat type and approved by Consultant with HDB PD concurrence.

Sample Finishes

Switches should be positioned away from the edge of walls to avoid causing wall cracks.

Min. 100mm

Jan 2012 Housing & Development Board

The height of the switch socket outlets at the living room / bedrooms should be 450mm from the finished floor level (FFL), measured from the centre line of the socket outlets. Exceptions are at the kitchen and service yard where the height of switch socket outlets should not exceed 1200mm.

Correct height of switch socket outlets at living room / bedrooms

HDB Requirements

Location of Embedded Conduit inside the Flats To facilitate the drilling of walls in a safe manner, residents will be given a No drill zone notice, informing them of the typical routing of embedded conduits within walls. The Consultant must pay special attention to ensure that the running of these embedded conduits in walls comply with the No drill zone.

No Drill Zone
For walls, flat owners are not allowed to drill any holes within 150mm bandwidth vertically above and below, and 150mm bandwidth horizontally to the left and right of electrical accessories such as socket outlets, lighting switches and heater points. For areas with more than one accessory mounted together, the horizontal bandwidth, (annotated *D in the diagram below) should be 150mm multiplied by the number of electrical accessories. For ceilings, drilling for the mounting of light fittings, ceiling fans, etc must not exceed 40mm in depth.

Jan 2012 Housing & Development Board

Running conduits at an angle is prohibited as part of the embedded conduits would be outside the protected no drill zone.

Embedded conduit outside no drill zone

Down Conductor of Lightning Protection System HDB uses aluminium lightning tape on the roof top and aluminium down conductor on the surface of external wall/column. The aluminium down conductor is connected to the copper tape using bi-metallic aluminium/copper connector at a height of 2.5m. In areas which are accessible to the public, the copper tape shall be embedded to prevent theft.

6 In-Process Checking
Purpose The Consultant needs to monitor and control the quality and finish of the electrical installations. Before work proceeds, the Consultant shall verify that the electrical sub-contractor is registered by BCA as minimum L2 grade contractor and also registered by IES/ACES as Qualified Electrical Contractor.

It is important to check for irregularities while the works are in progress to ensure works are carried out by qualified workers according to approved work method, specifications, drawings and sample unit.

Inspection by Consultant The Consultant shall ensure that the following are checked before proceeding to next stage of work: The following are some of the items to be checked by the Consultant: a) b) c) d) Embedded conduit routing at 2nd storey floor slab; Metal trunking at 1st storey ceiling; Lightning Protection System down-conductor locations; Coordinate service layout of the M&E services at the roof.

The Consultant shall visit the sites to check that all electrical installations are installed correctly. This will ensure that non-conformances are detected early and reduce rectification or abortive works.

Checklist The scope for Site Supervisors / Registered Technical Officers encompasses supervision of multiple trades as well as safety, and housekeeping. They are usually not specialised in M&E works, hence it is important for the Consultant to guide them closely in the supervision of electrical installation works. The Consultant shall develop their own checklists for the project and train the Site Supervisors to check on critical work including but not restricted to the following:

S/n (a)

Critical Items to be included in Checklist Ground Floor to 3rd Storey Check and ensure that the locations of electrical fittings in the sample unit and access corridor are correct. Check and verify critical structural dimension of the lift shaft. Typical Storey Check and ensure that the locations of electrical fittings in the units and access corridor are correct. Check that the correct light fittings are used at common areas and positioned correctly to provide the required lighting distribution. Check for natural lighting at areas blocked by the lift shaft / staircase core / central rubbish chute, during downcast weather. If necessary, Consultant is to provide photocell circuit control to automatically light up areas which are affected by downcast weather to achieve the minimum average lighting level as shown below:
Item a b c d e Area 1st storey area 1st storey lift lobby Upper storey access corridor Upper storey lift lobby Stairway Min. Ave. Lighting Level (Lux) 30 80 15 40 30

(b)

(c)

Roof Check and verify the location of the air terminal of Lightning Protection System is correct. Site Work and Landscape Check and verify that the lighting level on the service road and footpath meets the minimum of 10 lux. Check and ensure that the location of the lamp post meets the design guideline. Check to ensure that the outdoor lights do not shine into the windows of lower floor units.

(d)

The inspection records shall be monitored until all items are properly closed and endorsed by the Consultant.

Audits by HDB HDB may carry out audits on the electrical installation. The Consultant shall respond to HDBs audit within two weeks. The Consultant shall not rely on HDBs audit but carry out their own regular audits to ensure the quality of the electrical installations.

CONQUAS M&E installation work forms part of the assessment in Construction Quality Assessment System (CONQUAS) by BCA. For public housing, the M&E score constitutes 5% of total score. The Consultant shall ensure that the finishes of the electrical installations are of high workmanship and quality; fittings properly aligned. No stain marks and visible damages / defects shall be found at the switches, socket outlets and Consumers Control Unit (CCU).

Good Practices / Common Defects

Electrical Conduits Care must be taken to ensure that embedded conduits are properly supported, with no ingress of water. The embedded conduits are to be gradually bent with not more than two 90 bends between two points. This is to allow subsequent pulling of cable through the embedded conduit.

There shall only be a maximum of 2 overlapping conduits so that concrete cover would be sufficient. Proper conduit accessories are to be used.

Max. of 2 overlapping conduits

Proper extension box for lighting point area

Jan 2012 Housing & Development Board

15

For recesses in the precast wall, Consultant shall ensure that the conduit up-turn is aligned properly with the recess.

In addition, all concealed cabling must be properly protected in conduit or trunking.

Jan 2012 Housing & Development Board

16

The Consultant shall also inspect the concrete cover for the embedded conduit. Galvanised iron (GI) pipes are to be used if the concrete cover is less than 50mm thick.

Inadequate cover for PVC conduit

GI conduit used for concrete cover that is less than 50mm

Consultant can consider casting the socket outlets separately to ensure that the socket outlets are in level position first before erecting the brick wall. This will contribute to better quality by reducing hacking of the brick wall later for the installation of conduits.

Jan 2012 Housing & Development Board

17

The recesses on concrete block walls shall not be created by hacking. It can be created by purpose-made building blocks as illustrated below: U & L-shaped blocks to form vertical recess; U-shaped block to form horizontal recess; and I-shaped block to form horizontal recesses for both sides of the wall.

U & L

Untidy recess created by hacking

Jan 2012 Housing & Development Board

18

Other than pre-shaped concrete blocks, Contractor is also encouraged to use special Ferrolite panels to increase productivity and minimise hacking: (a) Ferrolite panels with built-in recesses for electrical fittings and concealed electrical conduits :

Recess for conduits and light switch at 1200mm from FFL

Recess for conduits and switch socket outlets at 450mm from FFL

(b)

Small Ferrolite infill panel for consistency in material.

20

Arrangement of SP PowerGrid (SPPG) Meter Box Where two or more residential units share an electrical riser, the Consultant shall ensure that the meter boxes are positioned properly for easy identification by the respective owners.

Location of Consumers Control Unit (CCU) The Consultant shall ensure that the CCU is positioned away from the main door so that the latter will not hit the CCU when it is fully opened.

Door hits CCU when fully opened

Jan 2012 Housing & Development Board

21

Lightning Protection System The Consultant shall check the location of the aluminium air terminal of the Lightning Protection System and ensure that they are located appropriately with consideration of the ladder or railing installed at the roof.

The Consultant shall take precaution to ensure running of lightning conductors on roof features will not result in re-entrant loop as shown below:

Jan 2012 Housing & Development Board

22

In a situation where re-entrant loop occurs, the Consultant may consider closing of the open side of the loop as illustrated below.

Provision for Future Electronic Parking System HDB may implement Electronic Parking System (EPS) near the ingress/egress of the precinct in future. The Consultant is to ensure that underground pipes are provided at the correct locations to meet HDB Car Parks Sections requirements. This is to avoid future hacking of the road/slabs. UPVC pipes with draw-wire is only required at road and slab crossings leading to the proposed EPS locations. The pipes should terminate with sealed capping above the slab. They are not required at turfed areas and within the MSCP compound as the future cabling will be surface-mounted for routing within the building.
