ducts or ducting blocks shall project into footpath or upto the 
edge of road, where there is no footpath, to permit smooth entry 
of cable without undue bending. The diameter of the cable 
conduit or pipe or duct should be at least 1.5 times the outer 
diameter of the cable. Angular alignment of the duct across road 
crossings shall be predetermined to maintain safe bending radius 
when direction of cable trench changes before or after the road. 
 
c) The contractor shall lay cable by Horizontal direct drilling (HDD) 
in main roads and highway with heavy traffic, passage to public 
property where excavation is not possible. Contractor shall take 
approval for laying of cable by means of HDD wherever required 
from the supervising engineer. The cable laid by HDD shall be

3.0 General guidelines for Laying Cables  

S.  Parameter  Details 


No. 
3.1  General  a) Laying of the cables and handling of the same shall be 
undertaken, at all times, by adequate staff suitably trained and 
supplied with all the necessary plant, equipment and tools. 
b) The contractor shall be responsible for all the route survey, 
establishment of the position of the joints as per the site 
exigencies and the drum lengths of cables to be laid. While 
carrying out the route survey the contractor shall take into 
account the obstacles on the route whether above or below 
ground. The cable shall be planned to be laid in an orderly 
formation, free from unnecessary bends and crossings 
c) The contractor shall submit a drawing for the complete scheme 

Page 7 of 42
                                                                                             GN101-03-SP-06-R2 

showing the entire route, road crossings, location of joints and 
also the arrangement of cables to be laid. In case due to site 
exigencies, cables have to cross over within the trench, the same 
shall be shown in the drawing. For each and every job, these 
drawings shall be approved by BSES, prior to commencement of 
work. 
d) BSES shall arrange for all the material and manpower required 
for jointing and end termination. The Contractor shall provide 
pit, carry out excavation for creation of working space required 
for jointing by the jointer. All civil works, structural work, 
clamping and earthing shall be carried out by the contractor, so 
that the cables and accessories perform satisfactorily during the 
entire life time. 
e) The entry and exit of the cables into the building shall be through 
RCC or GI pipe except for single core cables, which shall be 
properly sealed and shall be duly supported as per the method 
and technique approved by BSES, so that the outer sheath of the 
cable does not get damaged at the entry and exit points. The 
sealing should be of adequate length so that it minimizes the risk 
of spreading of fire or ingress of water. 
3.2  Handling and  a) The cable drums shall be transported upright, so that the weight 
Storage of  is distributed on both the flanges. Under no circumstances the 
Cable drums (All  cable drum may be laid on its side. During transportation the 
empty drums are  drums must be properly secured. The cable drums should never 
returnable)  be dropped from Lorry or a trailer, so as to prevent damage to 
the cable drum and also to the cable. Ramp may be used for 
unloading. The drums may be rolled over short distance, 
provided the correct direction of rolling as provided on the drum 
is observed. Alternatively, a mobile crane should be used for 
lifting and lowering the drum. A chain‐pulley arrangement may 
also be used to lift the drums and deposit the same on ground if 
required. 
b) In case the drums are to be stored prior to cable laying, they 
should be arranged in such a way to leave some space between 
them for air circulation. It is desirable that the drums stand on 
battens placed directly under the flanges. Overhead covering is 
not essential except in heavy rainfall areas or during monsoon. 
Cable should however be protected from direct rays of sun by 
leaving the battens on or by providing some form of sunshade. In 
no case the drums shall be stored in a flat position with flanges 
horizontal. 
c) For transportation of the cable drums from storage site to work 
site, the drum should be mounted on a trailer or an open lorry 
and unloaded by mobile cranes. 
d) After cable laying, empty cable drums shall be taken return back 
by vendor from site at their own risk and cost. Cost of empty 
drums shall be deducted from vendor account during final 
settlement. 
3.3  Cable Laying  a)  The ground over which the drum is positioned at site should be 

Page 8 of 42
                                                                                             GN101-03-SP-06-R2 

properly consolidated and jacks placed on both sizes of the drum 
to make the pay‐off arrangement stable. Suitable arrangement 
be made to stop the drum rotation, during cable laying 
preferably by square wooden poles kept temporarily pivoted 
over cable roller under the flanges which when required can be 
applied on the flange as a brake by personnel manning the drum.
b) The cable should always be paved off from the top of the drum. 
The drum must be positioned in such a way that the arrow on 
the drum points opposite to the direction of rotation marked on 
the drum. 
c) It must be ensured that the cable is not dragged over sharp 
object or on the road surface, so as to avoid damage to the outer 
sheath of the cable. 
d) The pulling method to be used shall be approved by BSES. Cable 
supplier’s recommended maximum pulling tension shall not be 
exceeded. 
e) Rollers shall be placed at intervals and the cable shall be pulled 
over the rollers. The rollers shall be kept lubricated so that they 
rotate freely, minimize friction to the cable in motion. Rollers 
shall be positioned at the bends to minimize side wall friction. 
The contractor shall ensure that PVC/HDPE sheath of cable is 
free from damage due to abrasion. 
f) The cable should not be pulled out from the drum by lifting of 
the coil while the drum is lying flat on the flange. This leads to 
twisting of the armour and cores resulting in permanent damage 
to the cable. 
g) To avoid ingress of moisture, it must be observed that the end 
capping of the cables is not damaged. Cut pieces of the cables 
must be capped immediately, before laying of the same is taken‐
up. 
3.4  Excavation of  a) The excavation of the trenches shall be commenced, with proper 
the Trenches  co‐ordination with BSES, so that all the necessary clearances for 
the route are already obtained from the competent authorities, 
well in time. 
b) Before opening of the section of the trench, the contractor shall 
satisfy himself that the line of the trench is clear of underground 
obstructions, by taking out trial pits on the line of the trench. 
c) The exact location of each trench shall be approved on site by 
BSES. The trenches shall be kept as straight as possible and each 
trench shall be excavated to approved formation and 
dimensions. If necessary, the trenches shall be adequate shored 
by wooden planks and bracing to avoid trench cave‐ins which 
would cause injury to the persons and also damage the cables 
laid. 
d) The bottom of each trench shall be firm and of smooth contour. 
The contractor shall take reasonable precautions to prevent 
damage to the highway or ground surface from a slip or breaking 
away of the sides of the trench.
