2.1 Deliver components parts and material to site, completely identified in accordance
with approved brand and supplier and also comply with certified drawings
prepared for this work.

2.2 Store in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, above ground, properly
protected from the weather and construction activities.


3.0 WORK METHODOLOGY


3.1 Material: Material used will be as approved by the engineer. The sizes and routes
routing will be as per the approved shop drawing.

3.2 Installation

1. During the course of the installation of the conduit system, procedures for
working and dressing the installation as recommended shall be employed.

2. All bends and sets shall be in accordance with IEE regulation 522-08

3. Conduit system shall be installed so as to ensure compliance with the
requirements of Specified Standard and Regulation.

4. 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.

5. The minimum and maximum sizes of conduit to be employed shall be
inch and 1 inch respectively, unless otherwise stated in subsequent
sections of the specification.

6. Conduits in floors shall be routed and installed so as to avoid the fixings of
floor standing equipment to be installed on the floor.


3.3 Fixing of Conduits

1. When conduits are run on shuttering, prior to the laying of concrete in-situ,
additional security must be provided near to every box and at intervals of not
more than 1.2 meters by binding short lengths of steel wire, of not less than
2mm diameter twisted around the conduit and reinforcing steel. The conduits
shall be adequately fixed to prevent excessive movement and damage during
the pouring and setting of concrete and shall be protected from mechanical
damage. Check there is no damage before screed / concrete is poured. Unless
otherwise indicated to cast in conduits shall not be less than 30mm.cores to
plastered over conduits shall not be less than 5mm.

2. Where conduits are left "open ended" prior to wiring they shall be protected
by caps or plugs to prevent the ingress of building material.

3. All conduits runs must be designed to permit wiring to be readily installed
after the complete erection of the conduits through the available draw-in,
accessory and luminary suspension boxes.

4. 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.

5. 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.
6. Make provision in conduit and trunking, installation where building expansion
joints are crossed or settlement is likely.

7. 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.
