8. WORK DESCRIPTION
8.1 Electrical Works for Excavation, LV Site Cabling, Termination and Testing
Electrical cables will be laid out in excavated trenches as required by the LV power distribution
plan and cross section plan.
 Single core and multicore N2XRY (armored) cables will be used for outdoor electrical
distribution.
 Cables will be directly buried to ground except main road crossings where mechanical
protection will be provided by PVC conduits with cement finish on top of it.
 Only MV cables will have concrete tiling as per Turkish National Standards (TSE).
 Cable markers will be installed on cable route to identify buried cable at a depth of 150mm.
 The cable depth will be approximately 800mm

SF-MX00ZZ-TW-MES-5002-000-I01 SOUTH CAUCASUS PIPELINE EXPANSION PROJECT
METHOD STATEMENT FOR ELECTRICAL WORKS

 Electrical cables will be connected to junction boxes, distribution panels, generators and
transformers as required.
 For up to 600v direct buried cable depth to be 600mm (24”) minimum.
 Cables will be tagged at termination points to distinguish conductor phases and feeder
locations. Tagging will be made according to single line diagrams and load schedule.
 The project QC Inspector will inspect received materials and make sure that the delivered
materials are as per the approved material submittal and design.
 Panel schedules and single line diagrams will check for correct cable to be pulled at site.
 Make sure that the containment system is tidy, clear and ready for pulling the cables for
main road crossings.
 Cables will be checked for make and cross section area as per approved material submittals
and single line diagram/load schedules.
 Manpower and/or mechanical assistance will be used for cable pulling process.
 Cable drum will placed on cable jack at required locations.
 Cable route will be prepared and required manpower will be distributed.
 Start pulling while the people at the drum side release it at proper speed along with the
speed of pulling. Leave adequate length on both ends of the cable for termination.
 Cable ends points will be capped and/or protected (isolated) to protect them from
environmental conditions.
 Cables will be glanded when entering outdoor electrical panels.
 Visual checks will be performed after cable pulling process to ensure the correct laying,
proper glanding, correct termination, and labeling etc.
 Continuity and isolation tests will be performed with megger before energizing process.
 Insulation resistance between cores and armor is to be measured with a 500V megger and
the readings to be verified within the permissible limits (measured value > 1 mega ohms).
 Continuity test should be performed before energizing underground cables, megger should
be connected to both end of the cable and reading should observed via megger. Result should be
very low (close to 0 ohms)
 Cables will be terminated via compression lugs for each core of the conductor.
 Cable dressing inside the panel board shall be neat and clean. Cables will be striped for the
minimum length required for connection, to leave no exposed length of conductor after
termination.
 Ensure that strands are not damaged when stripping cable cores. Strands will be twisted
together wherever necessary and number of strands will not be reduces. All strands will terminate
at adequate termination points.
 Safety precautions to be strictly followed during installation, testing as well as charging of
any electrical equipment.

be worn by workmen.
 Work site should be kept clean and tidy.
 Adequate lighting and ventilation should be provided in work area.
 Two way voice communications will be provided at both feeding and pulling ends of the
cabling.
 To minimize back reel tension accelerate slowly and smoothly from rest to constant pulling
speed. Avoid stopping the pull midway through the installation; the drag due to friction is greatly
increased when pulling is restarted.
 Minimum bending radius will be observed during training cable into final position.
 Suitable mechanical protection will provided for exposed cables during project construction.

10. HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

Dorçe HSE Plan and Manual, and the HSE site preparation procedure will be strictly followed
during execution of the works. The site Safety Supervisor will provide oversight for the works;
however the Construction Site Supervisor has ultimate responsibility to ensure that the work is
carried out safely. The site Safety Supervisor will also support the Construction team with relevant
interface with 3rd parties as may be required.
The work will be executed under PTW, and before the job starts the JSA will be reviewed again. A
tool-box talk will be carried out before the start of each activity and the specific hazards and control
measures will be discussed before commencement.
The Safety Supervisor on site will also be responsible to monitor the weather (temperature, wind
etc.) and communicate any specific concerns with the Construction team. The specific elements
that will be focussed on during site establishment works are:
1) PPE Control
2) Security Management
3) Risk Management/JSA
4) PTW & TRA
5) Heat Stress Management
6) Emergency response
