moisture by means of duct stoppers and bituminous compounds or by any other method
approved by the Employer/Employer’s Representative. The stopper shall have a fire
resistance of at least 30 minutes.
The location of all underground cables shall be identified by:
 Brass plates fixed to the exterior surface of all walls of buildings 300mm above
ground level and directly above the point where cables pass through the wall;
 Marker posts in road verges and the like at intervals of not more than 100m and
at all junctions and changes of direction along the route;
 Marker posts at 10m intervals within an enclosed site and at all junctions and
changes of direction along the route.
 Marker posts shall be of concrete, not less than 200mm high above ground with
an inscribed brass or enamel metal plate. The inscription shall indicate the
presence of a cable below, the depth, classification and voltage rating.
A drawing or sample of a typical marker post shall be submitted for the approval of the
Employer/Employer’s Representative.
Cable trunking shall be manufactured from mild steel of not less than 1.25mm and shall
be hot-dip galvanised. The Contractor shall ensure that the size of the trunking is
adequate for the number of cables to be installed together with 50% spare capacity.
Trunking shall have minimum dimensions of 50mm % 50mm.Segregation of cables shall
be carried out if required using continuous sheet steel barriers with the bottom edge
welded to the trunking
The trunking shall have two return flanges for rigidity. Where necessary, additional
strengthening straps shall be fitted internally. The cover shall overlap the trunking and
be made of the same gauge. Fixing screws for covers shall be recessed and be of the
self-retaining quick-fix type. All bends, tees and intersections shall be of the gusset type
and shall, wherever possible, be purpose-made by the manufacturer and of a matching
design to the main trunking
Cables shall be retained in the trunking when the cover is removed by means of straps.
Internal connecting sleeves shall be fitted across joints in the trunking and earth
continuity ensured by bonding each section of trunking to a continuous earth wire. Non-
flammable fire barriers shall be inserted where the trunking passes through walls or
floors. Conduit connections to trunking shall be made by flanged couplings and male
bushes. Trunking shall be supported at intervals not greater than 2m horizontally or 2.5m
vertically.
Crossings over expansion joints shall be made in flexible conduit. Should it be necessary
to cut or drill a section of trunking, the bared ends shall immediately be given a coat of
zinc-rich cold galvanising paint. Cable and trunking runs shall be determined by the
Contractor and agreed by the Employer/Employer’s Representative before any work is
started. The run shall be at least 150mm clear of plumbing and mechanical services.
Trunking systems erected outside a building shall be weatherproof.
Where the building structure incorporates purpose-built covered trench systems, power
distribution cables may be laid on the floor of the trench. Control and instrumentation
cables shall be segregated and installed on supporting steelwork or cable trays secured
to the walls of the trench.
Where the building structure incorporates general service trenches containing pipework,
chemical lines and other services, all cabling shall be segregated from other services
and run on the trench walls. Crossovers shall be kept to a minimum and cabling shall
be taken above wet service pipework. Cable trays shall be of perforated steel with formed
flanges and of minimum thickness not less than 1mm for trays up to 100mm width, not

less than 1.25mm for trays from 100mm to 150mm width and not less than 1.5mm
thickness for trays from 150mm to 300mm width.
Cable trays and supports shall be in accordance with BS 6946.Cable-tray supports shall
be of sufficient strength to maintain rigid support to the fully-laden cable tray along its
entire length. All brackets and tray work shall be suitable for withstanding a temporary
weight of 125kg.
Wherever possible, cable trays shall be installed in full lengths without cutting. Should it
be necessary to cut or drill a length of tray, the bared ends shall be dressed and
immediately be given a coat of zinc-rich cold galvanising paint. Similarly for PVC-coated
trays, the bared end shall be immediately sprayed using a PVC aerosol. All cables shall
be firmly secured to the tray using purpose-made saddles, as approved by the
Employer/Employer’s Representative, together with proprietary cable cleats.
Cables required to be run on walls, ceilings, or other structures shall be carried on
substantial cleats, either in groups or simply at spacing determined by rating
requirements, supported on tray or ladder racks or enclosed in conduit or trunking.
All cables shall be neatly run vertically or parallel to adjacent walls, beams or other
structural members. The spacing of clips, saddles and cleats shall be such as to prevent
the sagging of the cables during their installed life. The method of fixing clips and the
like shall be by means of non-corrodible screws inserted into approved wall fixings.
Cable hangers, cleats, saddles, brackets and similar supporting devices shall be of an
approved type and of adequate strength for the cables they are supporting. They shall
be treated to withstand site conditions without corroding. Self-locking plastic buckle clips
and strapping shall not be used. Hangers shall be spaced according to recommendations
in the IEE Wiring Regulations. Allowance shall be made for expansion and contraction
of the cables.
Cables shall be located between 50mm pegs spaced at 40mm centres across a rung so
that a 40mm or 80mm space is maintained between cable centres. Cleats shall be used
where the ladder racking is vertical. Cables shall be run at least 150mm clear of plumbing
and below heating and hot water pipe work.
Conduits shall be either galvanised heavy-gauge steel screwed type or light-gauge steel
non-screwed type, steel or PVC. Accessories shall either be malleable cast iron or
pressed steel.
Conduits and fittings shall comply with BS 4568, BS 4607 and BS EN 61386-21 as
appropriate. A space factor of 40% shall not be exceeded and, in any case, conduit shall
have a minimum diameter of 20mm. The tubing is to be perfectly smooth inside and out
and free from imperfections. Both ends of every length of tubing shall be reamed and all
sharp edges removed before erection.
Where conduits converge, adaptor boxes shall be used. Conduits shall be connected by
means of male brass bushes and couplings. Where conduits are greater than 25mm
diameter, straight-through joint boxes shall be of the trough type. Where conduit or
fittings are attached to equipment casings, the material of the casing shall be tapped for
a depth of not less than 10mm or male bushes and flanged couplings may be used.
Hexagonal lock nuts shall be used at running joints. They shall seat firmly and evenly
on to mating faces. All function boxes, draw-in boxes, and inspection fittings shall be
placed so that the cables can be inspected, withdrawn and re-wired during the life of the
installation. Generally not more than two bends or offsets or one coupling will be
permitted without a suitable inspection accessory. Fish wires shall not be left in conduits
during erection. The whole of the installation shall be arranged for a loop-in type of
system with joints being carried out at switches, isolators or appliance fittings.
