2

La (Average Luminance) along Service Roads >2.00 Cd/m
2

La (Average Luminance) along Internal Roads >1.00 Cd/m

Ti (Relative Threshold increment) <10.00 Road
<20.00 Circular Way
b) The Method of calculation shall conform to the publication CIE No. 30-2, 1982
c) The asphalt pavement can be considered type R3 with Qo =0.07 but the Bidder/Contractor
shall arrange independent verification to confirm these values.
3.7 Shipment, Handling and Stacking
All equipment and accessories should be properly packed to prevent any damages during
shipment and stacking.
Unloading and stacking of all equipment shall be carried out in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions and it shall be the Bidder/Contractors responsibility to obtain a copy
of such instructions.
Prior to shipment and storage at the construction side, all lighting poles, or its section would be
carefully wrapped with a non-staining paper to preserve the finish. In order to prevent
deformation or scratching the pole shaft during shipment should be packaged in wooden saddles.
3.8 Installation of poles and accessories
3.8.1 General
Poles shall be installed in the approved location as per the Suppliers recommendations, so as not
to cause any damage to the pole. Any damage to the galvanising shall be rectified during erection
in accordance with the Standard Technical Specification, Part:
Poles shall be erected in a truly vertical position. Bidder/Contractor shall be responsible, until the
expiry of maintenance period, for correcting the alignment of any pole which has departed from

STREET LIGHTING
(ADDC/AADC)


the vertical position, excepting where it is established that such have been due to vehicle impact,
or other reasons acceptable to ADDC/AADC.
Fixing and alignment of brackets and lanterns shall be carried out in accordance with the
appropriate manufacturer's instruction.
All lanterns and lamps shall be assembled, fixed, focused, adjusted and wired in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions.
Cut-outs shall be fixed in the base chamber in an approved manner so that service cable can be
properly terminated and glanded to ensure proper earth continuity.
Grounding rods made of copper shall be installed in easily accessible concrete pits (for tiled
areas) and in pulling pits or in PVC pipe with a cap in other areas.
3.8.2 Foundations
a) Foundations here shall normally be executed as short bored piled foundations, cast in
situ, which have to be offered as the standard solution
b) In addition to the standard bored pile foundation the Bidder/Contractor may propose
concrete block foundations (cast in-situ or pre-cast) or other alternatives as foundations for
light poles. However, it shall be up to ADDC/AADC whether to accept the alternative
proposal or not.
Foundation works shall be carried out according to the relevant sections of Standard
Specifications.
3.8.3 Numbering of Poles
The Bidder/Contractor shall number all poles. Unless otherwise directed by ADDC/AADC the
numbers shall indicate pole, control cubicle and contract number, using stencils, 50 mm high, at
each pole on the carriage way-side of the unit. Numbering shall be in accordance with the system
to be directed by ADDC/AADC during the execution of the Contract.
3.8.4 Installation of Lighting Poles
The lighting poles shall be completely assembled and fitted with all arms/laterns and tested
before the installation on the foundations.
4 APPLICABLE TESTS
4.1 General
Tests shall be performed at independent institutes or at the Bidder/Contractor's premises if
approved by ADDC/AADC, and at site (if applicable), in the presence of ADDC/AADC.

STREET LIGHTING
(ADDC/AADC)


ADDC/AADC is entitled hereby to specify in detail from which part of the total scope the samples
for testing shall be taken.
The Bidder/Contractor shall furthermore forward copies of all original test lab readings to
ADDC/AADC, if so required.
In addition, upon completion of installation the Bidder/Contractor will be required to
demonstrate to ADDC/AADC that the work and materials are in accordance with the
specification and complete in all respects.
Bidder/Contractor shall undertake all tests and preparation of test results required by
ADDC/AADC. As a minimum the following tests shall be made.
a) Street lighting cabinet
- insulation test on all internal wiring and busbars
- check operation of all controls
- measures resistance of earthing system
- check all wire ferules and connections.
b) Insulation test on pole wiring and components test on time clock, photo electric cell and
manual controls
c) Check illumination and luminance on the road as per CIE recommendation. Illumination
and luminance meter shall be certified as calibrated.
Details of Tests are specified in Standard Technical Specification, Part:
S-AA-GEN-GDF - General Requirements General Conditions
5 CORROSION PROTECTION/PAINTING
The climate in the U.A.E. being very humid and corrosive, special attention is to be paid to the
use of excellent quality galvanising material and paint.
Fixings smaller than M 10 must be made of stainless steel, grade 1.4301 (V2A).
Details of corrosion protection/painting are specified in the Standard Technical Specification,
Part:
A detailed Corrosion Protection/Painting description shall be submitted along with the Bid.
