7.5. Technical and Safety Instructions for installation of 33 kV,11 kV

Line and 33/0.4kV, 11/0.4kV Transformers

7.5.1 11kV and 33kV line Installation Works

7.5.1.1 Details of Line Route and Terrain

The medium voltage Power Lines, LT lines etc. will be running almost through
plain and cultivated areas. Line route maps of Power lines covered under this
package giving the general topography are provided in this document.

7.5.1.2 Selection of the Line Route and Check Survey of Optimization

Pole Location

Following factors should be considered when selecting the line routes:

a) One side of the road is used as far as possible
b) Length of way to be cleared shall be minimized
c) Inconvenience caused to the other services shall be minimized
d) Swampy ground and areas liable to flood shall be avoided
e) Routes which would involve excavation in rock shall be avoided
f) The use of taller poles at up lifts shall be avoided and Installation Works of
tension points at up lifts also be avoided.
g) The pole should not be in the boundary of the road where was assigned by
the department of the road under the Ministry of Construction.
h) Archeological area and zone shall be avoided.

The Check survey for the line route and optimization of the pole location
along with profiling shall be carried out by the awarded contractor. The
provisional quantity has been indicated in the Bill of Material/Quantity for each
package.

In the case the contractor shall have any moderation based on our line survey
route map; we will determine the bill of quantity and bill of price as per actual
installation works. The installation works of contractor shall not exceed the
contract total value.

7.5.1.3 Line Route Maps

The Check survey shall be carried out by the contractor with reference to the
Line Route Map provided by the Employer. The contractor will examine the site
 2-9

of works and its surroundings and obtain himself, at his own responsibility and
expenses, all information regarding general site characteristics, crossings
accessibility, infrastructure details etc. The employer will, however, assist the
interested contractor to see and inspect the site of work. For this purpose the
contractors are requested to contact;Project Manager of NEP, MOEE.
Single pole, 2 Pole, 3 pole & 4 Pole Structure as per site requirements shall be
provided where the situation so demands. Drawings of single pole,2 pole,3 pole
and 4 pole Structure is provided for guidance.
Additional H Poles required for Pole Mounting Sub-Station under the existing 11
KV feeders are to be taken care of by the Contractor as per the requirement of
Operation Organization.

7.5.1.4 Topographical Maps

The contractor should note that the Employer will not furnish the topographical
map prepared by Archaeological Survey of Myanmar but will make available any
assistance that may be required for obtaining topographical map.

7.5.1.5 Route Marking

At the starting point of the commencement of route survey the peg marking shall
be done with spikes, driven firmly into the ground. A Benchmark on top section
of the angle iron shall be made to indicate the location of the survey instrument.
Wood peg shall be driven at prominent Position at intervals of not more than 750
meters along the Power line to be surveyed up to the next angle point.

7.5.1.6 Pole Locations

The position of the pole hole is usually indicated by a peg. The pole hole must be
excavated so that the pole is erected in its correct position. If the peg indicates the
Centre of the hole it is advisable to place a temporary peg at a definite distance
away so that it is not disturbed during digging operations. The pit can be
excavated either manually, or by truck mounted augers. The depth of the pit is
usually made equal to one-sixth of length of the pole.

With the help of pole spotting data, pole locations shall be marked on the profiles
prepared to check the required ground clearances. While locating the poles on the
profile sheets the following shall be borne in the mind.
a) Extension:

An individual span shall be as near to the normal design span as possible. In case
an individual span becomes too short or long with normal supports on account of
ground profile, one or both supports of the spans may be extended with standard
design or provision of a special structure for the purpose according to technical
 2-10

specifications. The design of such extension shall be prepared & supplied by the
Contractor and shall be got approved from the Employer.

b) Road Crossings:

At all the important road crossings, poles shall be fitted with normal tension
insulators strings depending upon the location but the ground clearance at the
roads at the maximum temperature and in the still air shall be such that even with
the conductor broken at adjacent spans, the ground clearance of the conductor
from the road surface will not be less than 6.1 meter. For road and line crossings,

7.16.1 Sag-tension Calculations

The Contractor shall carry out sag-tension calculations for respective line types
and conductors prior to installation works. These calculations shall be based on
the manufacturer’s data for respective conductor characteristics.

The initial conditions for the calculation shall be such that maximum conductor
tensions are achieved under cold + ice + wind conditions. This is necessary to
ensure that maximum conductor tension forces are applied on the angle poles at
above conditions.

The Contractor shall prepare sag-tension charts based on the calculations

approved by the Project Manager. These sag tension charts shall be used in
stringing of the respective conductors. This aspect will be monitored by the
Project Manager to ensure proper line Installation to suit the wide variation of
temperature and climatic conditions in Myanmar.
