1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this method statement is to define the procedure that can be implemented to re-
route/protect the existing MV 13.8 kV cablesfor elevated station 6H1 (From Ch.17+311 To Ch.17+471)
affected by the construction works of station 6H1. This method statement includes the location,
excavation, isolation, protection, re-routing, jointing, testing and backfilling.
United Horizons is responsible for the construction works of the Metro Line, Package 3. In advance of the
diversions and protections for existing utilities, utility survey site inspections have been undertaken. The
specific method statement at hand outlines how the work for this utility will be performed.
The main goal for MV 13.8 kV cable diversion is to clear the construction site from utilities that interfere
with the new structures and construction works of elevated station 6H1. The works have to be executed in
such a way that all existing utilities maintain their services during and after construction. The MV 13.8 kV
cable diversion works will be executed based on the MV 13.8 kV cable diversion design which was carried
out in compliance with MV 13.8 kV cable owner‟s requirements and having his approval.
The best solution to be adopted depends on the extent and the path the utilities areclashing with the
construction works, and as thus it could be temporary support, temporary hang-up, temporary shifting,
permanent diversion, permanent shifting, or protection.
United Horizons needs to prepare the work site for 6H1 and in order to do this, the site of terrain on
around the station will need to be appropriated and enclosed within the work area. This Work Method
Statement describes the actions required and the method envisaged to accomplish the work and is being
coordinated with Interface Department, Utility Coordination Department and Utility Departments at Line 4,
5 and 6 and will be submitted as part of the work permit for performing the work. (See the attached
Appendix 01).
This specific statement will be submitted as part of a package, containing a general method statement,
utility diversion design drawings and a Temporary Traffic Control Plan (TTCP), which is already approved
to the Client and Utility owners.
All concerns on the proper functions, execution of work and operation of the utilities must be provided
once completed. Coordination will be done with all agencies involved prior to commencement of works in
order to have a smooth work flow.

2 SCOPE OF WORK
This document describes the methodology to be followed during the MV 13.8 kv cable diversion works.
The purposeof the MV 13.8 kv cable diversion works is to clear the construction site from existing utilities
or to adopt the bestsolution for the existing utilities in such a way that they will not interfere with the
construction works orthe new structures for the elevated station. As to the utilities that may clash with the
new station structure we consider thefollowing solutions.

-Temporary support/hang-up: Utilities with no need for diversion as they can be supported with
temporarystructures, for examplesteel beams with utilities temporary tied to the supporting structure
during excavation works.
-Integration with station structure: Utilities that can be implemented in the new structures/modify
construction. Also in these cases diversion can be avoided.
-Permanent diversion: Utilities that cause an interface with the new structures and are too complicated
for temporary solutions which makes diversion necessary.
- Temporary shifting: Utilities are only temporarily shifted to clear the construction area and are relocated
back to their original locations after construction works are over; by shifting, utilities are not interrupted
(no disconnection/connection procedures).
- Permanent shifting: same as temporary shifting procedures but here utilities are maintain their new
positions and are not relocated back to their old locations.
- Protection: Utilities are kept in their existing locations but a certain method of protection is applied
(berlin wall, PVC encasement….) to protect these utilities due to their proximity to construction works

Coordination of the work

In this stage United Horizons recognizes the following stages for coordination.
- Design phase and approval.
- Execution phase and acceptance of “as-built" information.

Design phase and approval

The approval process will start with the submission of the Utility Diversion Application Package.
TheApplication package contains the Utility Diversion Application form, this particular method statement
and theindividual packages for each affected Utility. FASTwill submit the package to RAMPED and the
ADA Utility Working Group coordinator.

Approval process
The approval process contains 4 stages.
- Registration of submission
- Engineering Review
- Project Management Review
- Approval to Work

- Registration of submission:FAST will complete the Utility Diversion Application Package starting with
the Utility Diversion ApplicationForm. The complete package will be submitted to RAMPED and the
ADA Utility Working Group coordinator.The ADA Utility Working Group coordinator will distribute the
Application package to the different Utility Owners and RAMPED.

- EngineeringReview:RAMPED will review each individual package.Ifadditionalinformation is required,

FAST shall be notified to thespecific additional requirement. This notification also shallbe addressed by
RAMPED to the Utility WorkingGroup coordinator from ADA.

The Utility owners will review the individual packages. If additional information is required FAST shall
benotified in order to provide additional information. FAST and utility owners will notify the Utility
WorkingGroup coordinator from ADA.

Rev. AA

- Project Management Review:RAMPED shall review all the Utility agencies responses. The goal is to
achieve a No Objection Certificate (NOC). If the Utility Application Package is approved by the
utilitycompanies, RAMPED shall inform ADA that it has no objection to the issuance of a permit for the
utility diversion works.

- Approval to Work:ADA shall issue an approval to workfor FAST for the specific utility diversion work.

Execution phase and acceptance

After approval of the UtilityDiversion Application Package the diversion works can start. FAST will ask the
Utility Working Group for a contact list from the MV 13.8 kV Cable companies‟ representatives.

Based on the requirements ofthe MV 13.8 kv Cable companies the representative ofthe MV 13.8 kv Cable
owner will be contactedto attend at the commencement of utility works. FAST will also make an
emergency contactlist. In case of unexpectedoccasions the MV 13.8 kV Cable companies will be
contacted immediately.

Great efforts will be done to execute the works according the requirements of the MV 13.8 kV Cable
companies. Duringthe construction phase, regular meetings will be organized and the MV 13.8 kV Cable
company representatives will be invitedto attend. They will be informed about progress and schedule. The
representatives will be able to inspect theworks and to approve the material specifications.

After completion of the diversion works the coordinates of the diverted utilities will be surveyed and
theresults will be implemented on “as-built drawings". These "as-built" drawings shall be offered to the
Utility Working Group coordinator for further distribution and approval.

Work preparation
Below you see the work order for the utilities diversion. Depending on the MV 13.8kv cables‟status in
general thefollowing scope of work can be identified.

- The surveyor will mark the expected locations of utilities. The surveyor will use different colors and
eachcolor represents a different MV 13.8 kV cables.
- After all utilities are marked, excavation can start. During excavation United Horizons will use a cable
detectionlocator (Cat & Jenny or similar) to prevent cable damage.
- If the situation allows diversion avoidance through temporary support, temporary hang-up, temporary
shifting, permanent shifting, or protection,one of these previously described procedures will be adopted
and construction works can begin afterwards.
-Diversion is required: If the MV 13.8 kV cable diversion design is approved, United Horizons will start
excavation at the proposed location. Afterexcavation, the new MV 13.8 kV cable is ready for installation.
After commissioning of the new MV 13.8 kV cable to the fullapproval ofthe MV 13.8 kV cable owners,
the existing MV 13.8 kV cable can be removed.
- Before backfilling of the MV 13.8 kV diverted cable, site surveying of the new cable location will be
made for as-built purposes. Afterthat, backfilling is made and the construction works will proceed.

Excavation
The excavations of the foundation will be executed by earth moving equipment such as hydraulic
excavators supported by jackhammers, Bobcats and shovels. Before using heavy equipment, the location
of existingutilities will be traced by using the 13.8 kV Cable survey inspection results and with MV 13.8 kV
Cable locators. The location ofexisting utilities will by marked. Jackhammers are used to break hard soils
to enable earth moving equipmentto excavate the trenched for the new MV 13.8 kV Cable. Hydraulic
excavators and shovels are requiredfor loading the dump trucks and for disposal of earth depots.

Cable Laying

The United Horizons have adequate and sufficient equipment at the work site for cables and fittings into
the trench and effecting their installation without damage. Under nocircumstances will pipe or fittings be
dropped into the trench. Any scratches or damage tocoatings will be repaired, and all mud or
accumulations of dirt will be removed from cables orfittings prior to their installation.

Trench Undercut & Backfill

When unstable soil conditions are encountered in the trench bottom, such as peat,muck, or saturated
soils, the Engineer shall investigate and determine whether TrenchUndercut and Backfill shall be used to
provide a suitable foundation for cable laying. United Horizons have the trench dewatered where
necessary in order that the Engineermay investigate and make a determination. Trench undercutting shall
be performedwithin the limits determined by the Engineer, and all excavated material from theundercut will
become the property of the United Horizons.
Where the depth to stable soil is excessive, the Engineer may, at his option, order othertypes of bedding
or foundation to be constructed. Such other types of bedding orfoundation will be considered as an extra,
and details of construction and methods ofpayment shall be mutually agreed to before commencing with
such construction.

7.2 Traffic Management Plan

7.2.1 Introduction
This Plan identifies the traffic management requirements of the Project and describes the general
approach and Procedures to be adopted to comply with these documents.
The work to be executed under this Specification consists of all work necessary to provide for the safe
movement of traffic and protection of persons and property through and/or around the work site.
STMP must be viewed before start to work.
The United Horizons is responsible for the management, direction, and protection of all road traffic in any
way affected by the work.
Also, the traffic must be managed to ensure the continuous, safe and efficient movement of traffic for both
the public and workers.
STMP describe such items as temporary signage requirements, traffic barrier requirements and
placement, traffic control crew requirements delineation devices, ROL applications, temporary speed
zones, etc which must be in place for the duration of the activity or work area impact.
The individual Site Traffic Management Plan (STMP)‟s will be designed to the criteria as
The STMP is incorporated into the method statement in association with the Construction, Environmental
and Quality Plans, and any other plans as required. The individual site plan will also address, as required,
any safety issues (for road users, construction workers and public), traffic and delay management issues,
construction traffic routes and temporary lane widths. These will be held on site.
However, related to elevated station 6H1 traffic diversion has been implemented and all utility diversion
worksare includedin the working site boundary so no need for temporary traffic diversion for utility
diversion works.

7.2.2 Specific Requirements

Speed Limits
The speed limit will be reduced to 40km/hour in the work zone. The speed limit may be reduced further if
necessary.
Temporarily during lane closures will be detailed within site plan (If required as most trial holes are not on
roadsides). All speed changes or reductions will be in accordance with approved Road Occupancy
Licenses and Speed Zone Restrictions.
Work Site Delineation
Traffic barriers shall be used for the protection to workers and equipment operation. Required traffic
barriers shall be shown in the specific site plans for each location.

Trenching and Excavation

United Horizons will excavate the trenches to a width sufficient for satisfactory and safe working conditions
and will comply with all relevant Acts, Regulations and requirements of public or statutory authorities.

The United Horizons shall excavate as necessary to provide the specified minimum cover but so as to
avoid damage or loss of support to, obstacles such as pipes, drains, cables and other utilities and services.

In general, the work area to be excavated will be restored to its original condition when the excavation is
complete. All excavations will be completed in a timely manner to minimise disruption to all parties.

United Horizons shall also provide all materials required for the excavation including, but not limited to
pumping equipment, shoring, backfill, etc. The equipment must be provided for the entirety of the project.

Rock shall mean limestone (cap stone), ironstone, igneous rock and concrete etc which occurs in solid
masses, or any other material that cannot be practically excavated by a backhoe-type machine or bored,
using an approved boring machine.

In built up areas where permitted by the relevant authorities, United Horizons shall, where practicable,
neatly stack reusable top layers of material such as lawns, pavers, etc on one side of the trench and shall
stack the bottom layer of soil separately on the opposite side of the trench.

All excavated materials are required to be removed from site to enable continued pedestrian access
without having to walk on the road. Unsuitable soil may have to be disposed of and graded backfill brought
in.

No excavated material shall be placed on, or encroach on private property.

In built up areas cover excavated soil with tarpaulin if weather conditions will cause soil to be washed or
blown away.

Installation of H-Beam
United Horizons shall find out the crossing points of existing utilities and install the foundation for H-Beam.
The foundation must be installed considering the size and weight of the Beam and existing utilities to
prevent collapse.
Installation of Wire on Existing Utilities
To protect supported utilities from the damages by wires, the United Horizons install frames on each point
where the utilities will be hanged by wires. The types of frames will be selected in accordance with the
conditions of utilities and structural stability. The United Horizons shall occasionally check if the utilities
and H-Beam are deflected.

Cable pulling
- Drum Inspection and Mounting

Upon delivery, the cable drum should be visually inspected for damage, which may have occurred
during transport. The manufacturer‟s seal on the inner and outer cable ends should be examined and
the condition of armouring, serving and sheath inspected for mechanical damage, corrosion and
leakage of impregnating oil. If the cable is found defective it shall not be installed and the cable shall
be returned to the supplier for replacement.
During installation the cable should be carefully examined for any sign of damage as it leaves the
drum. This is particularly important on the outer layers, where drum batten nails can cause damage.
If it is necessary to roll the cable drum, it should be rolled in the direction indicated by the arrow on the
drum.
The drum should be mounted on jacks, cable trailer or cable stands such that the cable is preferably
pulled from the top and always in the direction opposite to that indicated by the arrow. Lighter cables
may be laid by mounting the cable drum on its side on a truck-mounted turntable and laying the cable
directly into the trench. When pulling from large drums, i.e. over 2m in diameter, the cable should be
supported to prevent stressing the cable, from the drum to the trench on a suitable ramp.
Alternatively, cables can be rolled directly into a trench from the drum mounted on an excavator
moving along the trench.
To limit the chance of damage to the cable prior to removing the cable drum battens, a check should
be done to ensure that the drum-spindle is level and permits even rotation of the drum.
During pulling there is a tendency for cable slack to accumulate on the drum, slack shall be avoided
and one possible method to achieve this is to limit drum rotation by using plank brake shoes against
one or both flanges of the drum. If the inner end of the cable on the drum, referred to as the ”Z” end,
protrudes through the side of the drum, then it should be watched during pulling to ensure it is not
damaged. It is advisable to tie a rope to the Z end, and pull through any slack cable that appears.
Pulling through Z end prevents buckling and possible damage to the inner coils on the drum.

- Tools and Materials

United Horizons provides its own practices outlining the proper tools and materials to install MV 13.8
cables. The following generic list isoffered as the tools and material required for pulling cable into
ducts.
Innerductprovides a high quality path for the MV 13.8 kV cable. Innerduct has a lower friction factor
thanregular duct and allows the main 4” duct to be subdivided. Typical subdivisions may be three
1.25” subductsor two 1.5” and one 1” sub-ducts.
Innerduct couplings are used to join sections of innerduct to form a continuous duct
throughintermediate manholes, to extend innerduct in a manhole, to repair innerduct or extend
innerduct out ofa manhole for other placing operations.
A pulling eye or grip may be used to provide a connection point between the cable and the pulling
line.The pulling eye may be factory installed by the cable manufacturer. A pulling grip may be field
installedprovided United Horizons Best Practices documents are followed.
A winch or capstan is the device used to provide the cable pulling power. A winch or capstan that
cablewill be pulled around must have a diameter that does not exceed the minimum bend radius for
the cablewhen under tension. The winch or capstan should contain a tension-monitoring device so
that therecommended pulling tension of 600 pounds for the cable can be monitored. The winch or
capstan mustbe designed so that it is capable of maintaining tension on the cable/pulling line when
not taking upcable.

Rev. AA

A MV 13.8 kV cable pulling sheave should be used at the pulling end to maintain the proper bending
radius asthe MV 13.8 kV cable enters the pulling manhole and exits towards the pulling device.
A swivel should be used on the winch line to prevent twisting of the MV 13.8 kV cable and winch line.
Theswivel must have a 600 pound breakaway pin to prevent pulling damage to the cable.

Various pull lines are available for use with MV 13.8 kV cables. Typical pull line materials are wire
rope,polypropylene, or aramid tape. The cross section of the pull line can be flat or round. Smaller
diameterpull lines have a tendency to cut the innerduct when under tension. A pull line with low
elasticity ispreferred as it will minimize surge-induced fluctuations in pull-line tension when used with
winches.
Proper cable lubrication is necessary to minimize tension on the MV 13.8 kV cable during the
pullingoperation. Proper cable lubrication can reduce cable-pulling tension by 50% or more. Only
uselubricants specifically designed for lubricating MV 13.8 kV cables. Bentonite or wax base
lubricants mustnot be used nor should liquid detergent be used. Use of the wrong lubricant will result
in poor pullingcharacteristics and can possibly result in long-term breakdown of the MV 13.8 kV
cable‟s polyethylenesheath. The amount and method of lubricant required and proper application
techniques will vary withconditions and company practices. Also, consult the innerduct manufacturer
about lubricantcompatibility. Some specially lined innerduct may have special requirements.
Before placement of the cable begins it is strongly recommended that the conduit or duct that the
cableis being pulled into first be “proven”. The duct can be “proven” by passing a fiberglass duct rod
throughthe duct or by passage of a standard pneumatic projectile. Such testing will identify any
potentialproblems before the MV 13.8 kV cable comes off the security of the reel.

- Cable Placement

First, identify the innerduct in which the MV 13.8 kV cable is to be placed. After the correct innerduct
hasbeen identified, it should be tied off to keep it from “creeping” as the cable is being pulled into it.
Anyspare ducts should be capped off so that they do not interfere with the cable pulling operation.
Prepare the pull-through manholes. This includes un-racking the innerduct and removing slack

causedby the racking, placing lubricant where appropriate, preparing the pulling line and usually re-
coupling theinnerduct to provide a continuous path for the cable to follow. The amount of lubricant
used inintermediate manholes will depend on the length between manholes, type of innerduct, etc.
Position the pulling equipment (winch or capstan) at the pulling manhole. The pulling equipment
shouldbe fitted with a tension monitor and is to be operated at the manufacturer‟s recommendations.
Neverexceed the 600 pound pulling limit of the cable.

The intermediate manholes should be prepared for the cable pull by having any problems that
wereobserved during the pre-pull survey already sorted out. The following is a list of somepossible
issues:
a) If the innerduct is continuous, and has been racked, work the excess slack towards
adjacentmanholes. If necessary, slack can be removed using an innerduct slitter and cutter.
Temporarily tiethe innerduct to keep it from creeping into the main duct and to keep the innerduct
ends inalignment during the cable pulling operation.
b) If the innerduct is not continuous, and the exit and entry ducts are aligned, the inner duct ends
maybe joined with a coupler. If the innerducts are not long enough to join, a short section may be
added.

Rev. AA

c) If the entry and exit ducts are offset by more than a 3:10 ratio (3 foot offset in a 10-foot
manhole),innerduct can be used to form a gradual sweep. Properly sized sheaves may also be
used insteadof the innerduct.

Position the cable reel adjacent to the feed manhole so that the cable can be hand-fed in the
manhole.The cable should be pulled off the reel by hand and manually fed into the manhole to reduce
pullingtensions.
Connect the pulling line to the pulling eye/grip installed on the MV 13.8 kV cable with a swivel
connector.
An approved cable lubricant should be used to lubricate the entire duct run being used in order
toreduce pulling tension. Apply the lubricant to the cable before it is fed into the innerduct according
tostandard company practices. The method of lubricant application will vary according to
companypractice. Some methods include: pulling a swab throughout the innerduct as part of the
pulling lineplacement, pouring the lubricant directly onto the cable in the cable trough, or using pumps
and gravityfeed devices as lubricant applicators.
Before pulling operations begin a communications link must be established between the feed and
pullmanholes.
Start the pull by engaging the winch/capstan at a slow speed. Hand turn the reel as the pull begins
todecrease start-up tension. After the pulling eye/grip has entered the duct at the feed manhole,
thespeed of pull may be increased. The speed should be slowly built up to a maximum speed
ofapproximately 100 feet per minute (30 meters per minute).
The cable must be kept thoroughly lubricated however low the pulling tension may be. Surges and
stopsduring the pull should be kept to a minimum and, if possible, they should be avoided altogether.
Themaximum pulling tension is 600 pounds. If the pulling tension approaches the limit, the pulling
operationmust be stopped so that the pulling tension can be reduced by intermediate assists, or by
changing thepulling operation to a back-feed method.
The winch/capstan operator at the pull manhole controls the speed of the cable pull. He must be
keptinformed of the cable‟s progress as it passes through each intermediate manhole. A constant pull
rate isthe desired method of placing cable in innerduct. Variations in pulling speeds, starts and stops
are to beavoided. If it is necessary to stop the pull at any point, the winch/capstan operator should
stop the pullbut not release the tension on the cable. Pulls are more easily resumed if tension is
maintained on thepull-line and cable.
Once the cable appears in the pull manhole it may be pulled over a sheave or quadrant block as long
asthe diameter of the sheave or block meets the cable‟s minimum bend radius under tension. No
attemptshould be made to inch the cable to its final manhole length. This may cause undesirable
surges to theend portion of the cable.

- Back-Feeding

When pulling problems are expected due to long duct lengths, excessive curvatures in the duct or
forother reasons, the cable can be pulled in from two directions.
Locate the MV 13.8 kV cable reel at the mid-feed manhole. Attach the pulling line to the MV 13.8 kV
cableand position the reel in the same manner as for an end pull. The pull manhole setup and the
feedmanhole setup are the same as they were for an end pull. Communication, lubrication and cable
pullingare all conducted as for an end pull.

When the cable reaches the pulling manhole and sufficient slack has been acquired, stop the pull
andmove the pulling equipment to the opposite end of the run.
At the mid-feed manhole, remove the remaining MV 13.8 kV cable from the reel. The cable must be
laidout in a large figure-eight configuration close to the manhole opening. Keep the cable as clean of
debrisas possible by not figure-eighting the cable onto sand or dirt which might adhere to the cable.
Sand ordirt clinging to the cable will cause increased pulling tensions. Spreading out a sheet of
polyethylenebefore beginning to figure-eight is one method that will help keep the cable reasonably
clean. Figure-eightingonto clean pavement or grass will also help lower the possibility of a dirty cable.

With all the cable off the reel and laying on the ground in a figure-eight, attach the pulling line to the
endof the cable. Begin the pull just as before by hand pulling the cable out of the figure-eight and into
themanhole. Once the cable end has entered the duct, the cable should be carefully guided from the
figure-eightby hand. Radio communications must be maintained to ensure the pull can be quickly
stopped iftrouble develops with feeding the cable from the figure-eight.

An alternative to manually figure-eighting the cable off the reel before continuing the pull is to use
afigure-eight machine shown in Figure 8 below. Instead of pulling the cable from the reel and laying it
onthe ground, the cable is looped over the barrel of the figure-eight machine. Guided by a revolving
armand a series of rollers, the cable can be rapidly removed from the reel as it is wound around
themachine‟s drum.

Once the inside end of the cable is freed, it is connected to the pull line and the figure-eight
machinereversed. The cable is now removed from the figure-eight machine‟s drum as the end winch
or capstanpulls the cable through the duct.

- Mid-Pull Assist

For pulling cable into a duct that may be very long, have an uphill slope, or have some severe curves
init, a middle manhole capstan pulling assist may be the solution. The figure below illustrates a
middlemanhole capstan setup.

At a midpoint in the duct run, a second pull capstan is positioned near the manhole. The cable exits
themanhole, wraps around the capstan, returning into the manhole to be pulled onward by the far-
endwinch or capstan. The radius of the mid-pull capstan and associated sheaves or quadrant blocks
mustnot exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable under tension.
Using the setup illustrated above, it is important that good communications be established
andmaintained between all workers involved in the pull. The mid-pull capstan will first begin pulling
followedby the far-end winch or capstan. To stop, the order should be reversed with the far-end winch
orcapstan stopping before the mid-pull capstan stops.
The mid-pull capstan must maintain a steady pulling rate that will enable it to feed cable that is
notunder tension back down into the manhole for the far-end winch or capstan to pull.

Splicing of MV 13.8KV Cable

- Preparation of Cable for Splicing
In preparation of cable ends for splicing and terminating, United Horizons will conduct certain steps
that require special attention and technique toprevent premature failure. These are listed below:
1. Cable ends should always be cut carefully and squarely.
2. The outer jacket should be removed without damaging shieldtapes or braid by the following
procedures:
a) Ring jacket circumferentially through approximately80 percent of the jacket thickness.
b) Holding knife at an angle cut the jacket longitudinallyin such a manner so that repeated
traverses of these cutswill only have penetrated approximately 80 percent of thejacket
thickness.
c) Using pliers grip the edge of the jacket and pull in thedirection of the slant cut. If the jacket
does not readilytear at the cut, a knife may be used with tension appliedto the jacket, still
avoiding damage to the underlyingshield tapes or braid.
3. Thoroughly clean jacket on both ends of the spliceto obtain good adhesion between the
factory jacket andthe completed splice jacket.

- Making the Splice

1. United Horizons will compress the connector on the two cable ends to bejoined. Any burrs on
the connectors should be removed.Any indentations existing are filled, preferably with
semiconductingtape strips.
2. Semi-conducting material is applied over the exposed conductor and connector to produce a
smooth contour. Any saw-tooth effect created by laps in the tape injects stress points in a
very crucial region, which could be more detrimental to the life of the splice than omitting the
operation completely.

M3-CJV-MST-ERURU-ELS-000072 11/7/2015 Page 25 of 44

Riyadh Metro Package 3 (Lines 4, 5 & 6)
Method Statement For MV 13.8 kV cable Diversion
for Elevated Station 6H1 From Ch.17+311 To Ch.17+471
Rev. AA

3. Pencilling of the insulation requires a 360° perpendicular cut through all but the last 1/16" of
insulation, at a predetermined distance from the conductor end. This distance is directly
dependent on the type of connector and type of cable insulations. Pencil and smooth the
taper before removing the short section of insulation from the conductor. This buffer
technique protects the conductor surface against undue abrasion and scoring.

4. The splice is re-insulated with an insulating tape applied half-lapped and in a smooth,
rhythmical fashion, introducing uniform stretch as specified by the tape manufacturer.
Frequent rolling of the work with a concave tool, screwdriver handle, or other round object
helps to eliminate any entrapped air, which could otherwise ionize if sufficient voltage
gradient is impressed across it. The insulating tape is wrapped to approximately 1/4" from
the cable semi- conducting component. This space allows for proper transition between
materials in re-shielding.
5. The joint is re-shielded by using, where required, semiconducting insulation shield tape
applied half-lapped across the joint, starting by overlapping the 1/4" of exposed, terminated,
insulation semi-conducting layer at one end of the joint and finishing by overlapping the
exposed semi-conducting layer at the other end. Roll this layer of tape as described above to
eliminate any air voids. For proper metallic shielding, a tinned all-copper knit mesh or braid
tape should be used for adequate conductance. This tape should be applied half-lapped
across the joint and soldered to the cable shield at both ends of the splice.
6. Attempting to rebuild the cable as close to its original condition as possible includes
consideration of the jacketing material. Vulcanization in a mold is suggested for best results.
Place all the cable components back into their original configuration as close as possible with
the proper lay or twist. If the cable fillers are no longer intact or are insufficient in body to fill
the interstices of the spliced conductors, use cut lengths of tape to build up the fillers to
produce a round joint. Tape over all with uncured jacketing tape if a mold is to be used,
extending the tape out over the cleaned areas of the original cable jacket. Build up the jacket
thickness to a diameter slightly larger than the mold cavity to ensure that the cavity will be
completely filled out and that the excess material will be squeezed out in the form of a
flashing. The tape manufacturer`s recommendations for temperature and mold pressures
should be followed.

Installation:
Direct buried cables shall be sand-filled around with selected, low thermal resistivity sand. The sand will
be tested by an independent testing authority as required by SEC.
All ducts and road crossings will be sealed by approved materials as specified in owner's specifications.
The MV 13.8KV cables will be installed at this point in compliance with company specifications and FO
installation procedure.
The trench will be then backfilled from the warning tape up to final grade with ordinary backfill material.
Inspections will be recorded.
