2. ACCESS/EGRESS:
The Access/Egress to the site for the easy movement of workmen, material and
3
 equipment will be carried out in a safe manner. Any obstacle shall be properly cleared
either manually or employing suitable equipment (Back Hoe). The area for compaction shall be
identified, marked & cleared of obstructions if any. This clearing shall consist of rocks or other obstructions
that will interfere with proper compaction of the areas.

3. LIGHTING:

Specification requirement.
6.1.2 Where conduits and miscellaneous fittings are supplied, these shall be identified
and checked against the equipment delivery.
6.1.3 Ensure that conduits and fittings are stored and protected against atmospheric
4
 action, dust, and dirt.
6.2 Prior to Installation check for the Installation
6.2.1 Conduits and fittings shall be as Project Specification.
6.2.2 PVC coated 40 mils stick rigid steel conduit shall be used in damp locations,
exposed to weather, direct buried underground and as conditions of installation,
operation, and on maintenance requiting protection from liquids, vapors, or solids.
6.2.3 Rigid steel, galvanized conduit shall be used in wet locations, exposed to weather,
in areas subject to mechanical injury defied as less than 2.3 m above finished floor
and accessible to authorized operating or maintenance personnel only.
6.2.4 Rigid plastic conduit (PVC) NEMA shall be used below slabs on grade, encased in
concrete, unless otherwise indicated in approved drawings. Extensions above
grade or concrete slabs shall terminate in rigid steel conduit, using appropriate
PVC to steel adapter.
6.2.5 Space conduit at least 6 inches (150 mm) from covering of hot water pipes, 18
inches (460 mm) from covering on flues and breeching, and 24 inches (600 mm)
from radiant heaters.
6.2.6 Exposed conduits shall run parallel or at right angles with the lines of the buildings.
Route exposed conduit to preserve headroom, access, and workspace.
6.2.7 All wiring and cables installed in conduit will not exceed 40% conductor fill.
6.2.8 Insulated type bushings where required by NEC, shall be installed on ends of all
conduits.
6.2.9 Locknuts, of the bonding type shall be installed on threaded conduits, penetrating

Course-Hinds GUA series) with appropriate sealing covers may be used in order to
utilize the higher permissible wire fill of the conduit.
6.3 Installation
6.3.1 All conduits shall be installed as a complete system and shall be securely fastened
in place. Conduit shall be supported at least every 10 feet (3 m) and in accordance
with table 346-12 of the NEC. Provide additional supports where required or as
indicated on drawings.
6.3.2 Suspended conduit shall be installed on rack hangers made of angle iron, channel,
threaded suspension rods sized for the weight to be carried. Minimum 3/8" dia.
Where rods are more than 2 feet (0.60 m) long provide rigid sway bracing.
Conduits shall be securely fastened to hangers using one-hole malleable straps,
factory made split-hinged pipe clamps.
6.3.3 Where conduits are affected by movements of the supporting structures, a suitable
flexible or expansion joints shall be provided.
6.3.4 Conduits shall be cleaned free from burrs and any other sharp edges throughout
their entire length.
6.3.5 Conduit shall be bounded to the grounding system at both end.
6.3.6 Flexible conduits may also be used in connecting to equipment for short sections
where required for difficult runs or where excessive vibration is anticipated. Flexible
conduits shall conform to the requirements of NEC for the area classification.
6.3.7 If damage to wires can occur by pulling them around bends in any conduit run,
additional fittings or boxes shall be installed. There shall be a maximum of three (3)
5
 90º bends or equivalent in a run between two pulling locations. All bends shall have
a radius not less than that required by NEC-34610. i.e. (The inside radius of a bend
in a conduit shall be at least 6 times the internal diameter. When the conduit size is
greater than 50mm (2 inches), the inside radius shall be at least 10 times the
internal diameter of the conduit. For fiber optic cable, the inside radius of a bend
shall always be at least 10 times)
6.3.8 Conduit union fittings shall be inserted in conduits connected to lapped equipment
to avoid the necessity of disturbing the assembly when removing equipment for
maintenance. Running threads shall not be used.
6.3.9 Provide green insulated grounding conductors of size as required by code in all
flexible non-conductive conduits or ducts and other race ways having a length of
flexible or non conduit raceway as part of the run.
6.3.10 Channel erector system components (Unistrut or similar) used to support conduits,
cables, cable trays, enclosures, lighting fixtures and other electrical equipment
shall be made of steel or iron, either hot-dip manufacturer.
