7.0 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE AND METHODILOGY:


 Ensure the civil people have finished ply/post tension work on the slab.
 Arranged the approved shop drawings for the area of installation.
 Measure and mark-up shuttering for the position of the boxes.
 Fix the boxes on their designated locations. Ensure that the boxes are filled with polystyrene to
prevent cement sediment to accumulate inside the boxes.
 Install in situ conduits as per requirements, tie the conduits into the reinforcing bars. Ensure that
the maximum run of conduit between boxes shall not contain more than three quarters of the
bends. Ensure that the maximum run of conduit between boxes shall not exceed 25m for straight
runs. In any cases that the straight run of conduit will exceed 25m, pull boxes shall be installed.

The maximum allowable distance for conduit runs between boxes is 25 meters for straight runs. If this distance is exceeded, pull boxes must be installed to accommodate the length .

Quality control measures include maintaining a tidy work area, protecting executed work from damage, monitoring workmanship and installation quality against approved shop drawings, and submitting inspection requests for conduits and boxes at least one day before consultant reviews .

Necessary tools and equipment include bending machines, die sets, measuring tapes, screwdrivers, chalk mate thread, oil, drill machines, and mini hacksaw frames. These are significant as they facilitate accurate measurement, secure installation, and proper conduit shaping and placement .

The document ensures compliance by referencing all related codes and standards in the project electrical specifications, requiring adherence to legislation and codes of practice throughout the installation process .

The method statement assigns roles such as Electrical Manager, Electrical Field Engineer, Safety Officer, QA/QC Engineer, and Electrical Supervisor who are responsible for overseeing the conduit installation process. These roles ensure proper adherence to procedures, quality control, and safety compliance on-site .

Coordination with civil works is crucial as the method statement requires that civil works on ply/post tension on the slab must be completed before the installation begins. This ensures that the conduits are installed on a stable and prepared surface, preventing future structural issues .

The method statement ensures compliance by outlining that all safety precautions should be followed according to the approved safety plan and procedure, and by making sure all involved personnel are aware of these precautions .

Procedural steps for conduit installation include completing civil tasks, arranging approved shop drawings, marking positions on shuttering, fixing boxes, securing conduits to reinforcing bars, ensuring the run length and bends do not exceed limits, and conducting inspection notifications .

The method statement mandates raising notifications for inspections before pouring concrete and necessitates inspection requests to be submitted one day before consulting reviews. This ensures thorough quality checks and timely corrections, maintaining high installation standards .

Polystyrene is used to fill boxes during installation to prevent cement sediment from accumulating inside, which could obstruct conduit functionality or damage the structural integrity when concrete is poured over .
