05. INSTALLATION METHODOLOGY

5.1 Material Delivery, Handling & Storage

5.1.1: All material including Metallic Conduit and its accessories will be off-loaded from
a trailer and shall be placed on a flat surface or on wooden stacks and shall be
inspected for any damage, oxidization on Metallic items and will be removed from
the site for replacement.

5.1.2:All the accessories will be hand unloaded .

5.1.3: Rigid steel conduit can be stored outside, but should be loosely stacked,
elevated off the ground, and ventilated to prevent storage stain.

5.1.5: Small accessories should be stored inside to prevent loss.

5.1.6: Conduit should be stored away from high-traffic areas.

5.1.7: Conduit should be stacked by width and type.

5.1.8: PVC coated conduit must be protected from scratching during storage and
shifting.

5.2: Work Preparation

Before the commencement of installation, the following are required to be carried

out.
5.2.1: Check the drawings are issued with Approved for Construction status, in
accordance with document control procedures.

5.2.2:Check the site access to the work area for installation is available, that the
works area is clean, safe and that the temporary services provisions are available.

5.2.3: Confirm that all Materials and accessories have been delivered and
inspected as per ITP before starting the work.

5.2.4: Provide labor, materials, equipment & services, and perform operations
required for complete installation and related work as indicated on the approved
drawing.

5.2.5: The skilled and labourer doing the installation work shall have undergone
safety orientation and shall have been familiarized with the procedures related to
their works.

5.2.6: Keep all the tools, material and safety equipment(s) ready.

5.3:Installation of Rigid Steel and PVC Coated Galvanized Rigid Steel Conduit
& Box Installation .

Channel erector system components (Unistrut or similar) will be used to support the
Conduit and boxes.
No conduit smaller than 20mm in diameter or larger than 32mm diameter
shall be used.

5.3.1:RSC conduits & metallic boxes shall be used for exposed installation inside
Building for lighting, power, low current systems including fire alarm systems.

*All raceways shall be properly cut square and reamed smooth at the ends and all joint
made tight. Cut ends of conduit with hand or power saw.

*Make bends and offset will be skillfully done so that the inside diameter will not be
reduced.

*For overhead installations beyond the comfortable and safe reach of workers, provide
approved ladders or erect sufficient and safe scaffolds

*Install and seal raceways in accordance with approved shop drawings.

*Surface of the raceways shall be checked for any dents prior to installation.

* 8.14 Apply coat of protective paint to conduits where protective coating is damaged. Do
not paint conduit threads.

5.3.2:All underground, outside, in concrete and risers from underground runs will be
rigid steel PVC coated conduit will be install or what so ever shown on site
approved drawings.
 5.3.3: Use only manufactures recommended methods and tools for installation of

5.3.13: Fix the conduits on the Channel with universal strut clamp.

5.3.14: Connect the conduit together by screwing threaded coupling onto the
threaded end of the conduit and tighten with proper tools.

5.3.15: Rigid Steel conduits are the hardest raceways to bend by hand because they have
a much thicker and harder wall. and rigid or IMC can be bent by hand using a hickey
bender (or segment bender) .Large sizes of raceways can be bent with hydraulic benders.

5.3.16: Use set threaded connector to connect the conduit to the side wall of the
junction box or pull box. Verify that conduit bushing are installed in the boxes and
seated properly. Conduit enters a box, fitting, or other enclosure, a bushing shall be

in below figure .
 5.3.20: Conduits shall be installed in parallel to each other and with uniform spacing
throughout the installations.

5.3.21: Keep Conduit away from water supply pipes, steam pipes.

5.3.22:Where conduits are left "open ended" prior to wiring caps or plugs to prevent
the ingress of building materials shall protect them.

5.3.23: Use the approved flexible connectors to connect the conduits at building
expansion joints.
5.3.24:Bends in conduit shall be made so that the conduit will not be damaged and
the internal diameter of the conduit will not be effectively reduced.

standard and approved drawings.

5.4: Installation of Liquid tight Flexible Metallic Conduit (LFMC):

5.4.1: LFMC shall be used at the final connection to items subject to movement or
vibration, such as mentioned on approved drawings and project specifications.

5.4.2: Terminate and seal liquid tight flexible metal conduit to box or enclosure or
Electrical Drive Connection Box. Connectors can be used with tapered thread
female entry or unthreaded knockout using the provided sealing washer and
locknut.
5.4.3: All materials which are going to be installed for this type of system should be
approved for this purpose.
