Review engineering plan and determine the type of guying to be installed To avoid any inconvenience to the public, clearance shall be secured from concerned traffic authorities or local barangay official prior to actual work, if necessary. Check logistics requirement of either gondola or non-gondola work Check existing overhead distribution/ sub-transmission facilities if there is a need to interrupt affected lines. Submit a request for Pre-arranged Job Interruption to Operations Planning Unit if needed. Check completeness of materials withdrawn from stores. B. Procedures during Pole Guying 1 6 The supervisor shall conduct tailgate conference before starting work, in order to instruct linemen on the work to be done and the safety precautions to be observed, Position line trucks and mechanized equipment so as not to obstruct or interfere with vehicular traffic or driveways. Post early warning devices or caution signs at the job site for safety. For night work, set up the floodlights energized through a portable generator, installed in an appropriate location for optimum visibility Electrically ground all mechanized equipment using equipment supplied grounding cable or with additional grounding clusters if necessary. Request System Operation (DELTA) for the appropriate clearance tag when working near energized overhead distribution lines. (Refer to Meralco Safety Code - Tagging Rules) For work with pre-arranged job interruption, coordinate with System Operation (DELTA) for the clearance to work on the interrupted line, Perform line testing on the interrupted line then enclose the work area with grounding clusters prior to commence with the assigned activity. Install conductor covers or other insulated protective cover when working near overhead distribution facilities For work using a gondola, secure the gondola to the crane hook and install a safety rope to act as back up support for the gondola.

The crane operators will then extend the crane boom and maneuver the gondola to the position where pole guying will be performed. For work without a gondola, a linemen will climb the sub-transmission pole bringing with him a hand line which will be used for raising tools and line materials needed for pole guying. When working on 90ft concrete segmented pole, pole steps (5/8” machine bolts or equivalent) must be installed prior to installation of hand line. Position the wire trailer or equivalent on the location of the anchor rod or stub pole where the guying is to be installed Notes: 1._ Before & while working on the pole, the involved personnel shall observe all " the safety rules and regulations as stated in the latest edition of the Company Safety Code or other recognized Safety Codes to ensure their safety. 2. If there are parked vehicle(s) under the pole, request the owner(s)/driver(s) to relocate the vehicle in a safe place. C. Installation of Guying. 1 Position the roller block of the hand line to the point in the pole where the guying is to be installed. With the use of the hand line, raise and install the pole clamp where the pole guying will be installed, Orient the pole clamp into the direction of the guying. Payout the loose end of the hand line (same one used to raise the pole clamp) to the point where the guying is to be installed (anchor rod or stub pole), Install a guy grip on the loose end of the guy wire to be installed. Do not fully close the guy grip. Secure the payout hand line to the guy grip. Ground men on the base of the pole will then pull the other end of the payout hand Jine where the guy is to be installed. When the guy wire with the guy grip reaches the position on the pole where the pole clamp was installed, the lineman on the pole firmly secures and closes the guy grip to the pole clamp. ‘The other end of the guy wire is then cut and tensioned.0 WEDTC-213.00 Work Instruction Rev.

Proper tensioning must be observed before securing the guy to the anchor rod or stub pole with a guy grip. When a guy wire is to be installed to a stub pole, it is best practice to make use a basket truck. 10. Repeat this process until all the guying for the pole is installed. D. Procedures before Leaving the Work Area. 1. Check that all members of crew are all accounted for and have climbed down the pole, 2. Remove any installed groundings, conductor covers or other insulated protective covers. 3. Properly dispose all waste materials and clean the surroundings. Remove the early warning device or caution signs posted at the job site. 5. Call System Operations (DELTA) to clear appropriate clearances (Refer to Meralco Safety Code - Tagging rules) or to restore interrupted distribution/sub-transmission facilities *@ MERA Work Instruction WEDTC-213.00 Rev.
