6. PROCEDURE:

Following checks would be performed for the completion of activities, in accordance with
the relevant project specifications and reference documents.

Preparation

 The work is to be conducted with approved drawings and material list documents.
 Marking should be done with reference drawing before installation.
 The route and level of cable trays shown in Grid Station area should be as per
drawing. Any deviation from the drawings shall be agreed with the Contractor and
all changes to be recorded and marked up “as built”.
 In case of any ambiguity for the activity, technical query shall be raised.

Steel Supports Installation

 Approved welder on structure according to specification and site requirements shall

carry out installation of pre-fabricated supports.
 Welded joint's to be cleaned and painted after welding job is completed.
 Cable trays shall be supported at distance of not more than 3m as per specification.
 Cable tray supports to be installed with proper anchor bolts on concrete and welded
on steel structure unless otherwise stated in drawings / specifications.
 Supports to be checked for alignment, verticality and horizontally as per layout
drawings.

Assembling / Fitting

 Fabrication work shall be carried out on cable trays during installation with proper
rectification of sharp edges and final touch up paint shall be carried out.
 All the bends, risers to be checked as per cable tray size requirement.
 Earth bonding links to be checked for tightness.

Steel Supports and Brackets Installation

 Steel supports and brackets to be fabricated and installed in accordance with the
approved construction drawings. All rough edges to be removed and bare steel to
have one coat of primer with paint coating before installation or as per project
specifications.
 Specified sizes of steelwork according to drawings to be used.
 Welding to structures shall be the main fixing medium. The prior permission to be
obtained, if no detail mentioned in the respective drawings.

Precautions

 The electrical supply to powered hand tools shall not exceed 110 volts. Where this is
not possible, due to the type of tool being used, the approval of the Contractor’s
representative must be sought. But these electrical supplies must be protected by
ELCBs (Earth leakage circuit breakers) at sending source side.
 All works on electrical equipment shall be in accordance with Contractor’s
representative Lock out/Tag out procedure.
 The temporary electrical network installed for job would be protected by ELCBs (Earth
 leakage circuit breakers) to avoid any accidental contact.

 extinguishers.
 Suitable fire extinguishers shall be provided in electrical/instrument panel rooms
preferably CO2.
 Panel rooms shall be kept lock and entry should be prohibited for unauthorized
persons.
 Approved proper protected scaffolding shall be used while fixing brackets/supports
and shall be inspected by inspector.
 Cable ladder/tray scrap shall be removed on daily basis.

7. TOOLS AND EQUIPMENTS:

 Correct type, size and weight of tool shall be used for each job.
 Properly insulated and non-conductive tools shall be used for electrical work.
 Screwdrivers - A screwdriver shall have the correct size of tip to fit the slot of the
screw. Screwdrivers shall not be hammered or twisted with pliers or wrenches.
Screwdrivers shall not be carried in the pockets.
 All the power tools should be inspected by LINDE.
 Hammers - Right kind of hammer shall be selected for the job. Eye protection shall be
