OBJECTIVE This method of statement covers the Installation of Fiber Optic Cable Laying, Optical Fiber Splicing & Testing for Ooredoo Customers. SCOPE To ensure that the telecommunications, conduits and cable works Including inspections and testing activities are carried out in accordance with the project specifications and manufacturer's instruction as well as meet acceptable workmanship and installation standard 5. REFERENCE DOCUMENTS * Contract Documents © Available Layout Drawings * Project Specification 6. GENERAL This document details the test plans and acceptance criteria for procedures to be carried out before and after installation of the cable to verify that:Hf METHOD STATEMENT FOR] Doc No: BG/MS/CM/01/08/20 BARD Group FIBER OPTIC CABLE | Date:24/08/2020 ; Rev:00 vers Cop WORK The Fiber Optic Cable exhibits no abnormal light blocking, scattering or reflective event (cracks, fiber separations or excessive micro-bending) that might have occurred during transporting or installation Total Line Loss measurement meets project design specifications All Cable splicing and testing shall be performed after necessary notification from Ooredoo 7. RESPONSIBILITY The primary responsibility of carrying out all the activities mentioned in this method statement rests with the Project Engineer unless mentioned otherwise. Project Engineer directly supervises Site Supervisors. He is responsible to ensure that all correct procedures have been followed and all necessary permits for the works are obtained in advance. A full time Supervisor shall be available at site when the work is in progress and is accountable for the work progress including safety aspects. Project Manager ~- shall be responsible for the overall implementation of this procedure, coordination with vendor / sub-Contractor, supply the drawing and materials necessary to ensure efficient execution of works in accordance with the project specification, 8. LAYING OF Foc. + Manufacturer's instructions for installation have to be followed up. + Loading of cable drum has to be done by using suitable crane. There after itis transported by means of cable trailer/jack. The access up to the trench should be checked before transportation ‘+ Location of cable drum should be planned before transportation of cable drum. (Practically could differ at one or two places for easy installation of cable). ‘+ The cable drums shall be inspected for mechanical or physical damages and check the cables to be used at site prior to the start of the installation process. Any sort of damage shall be noted in the damage report. + Nylon ropes shall be pulled inside the HDPE pipes using duct cy ‘+ The pipes shalll be checked for straightness before filling the dur 4b METHOD STATEMENT FOR] Doc No: BG/MS/CM/01/08/20 BARQ Group FIBER OPTIC CABLE _| Date:24/08/2020 ; Rev:00 ww Sra WORK Fiber Optic cable drum shall be kept at the middle of the span (ie. equidistant from both the terminals) and cables shall be pulled towards one end manually inside the HDPE pipes using the Nylon ropes. The backfilled trenches are excavated at intervals of every 300m and also at each bend to act as Fiber Optic cable pulling draw pits. Once the cable reaches the terminal end, the remaining cable in the drum shall be looped ‘and coiled in the form of “8° 11. After looping the remaining cables in the drum, pulling of the Fiber optic cable inside the HDPE ducts, as before shall be carried out towards the other terminal end. After pulling of all the Fiber Optic cables, the draw pits are backfilled according to the backfiling procedure The final survey shall be conducted for the additional details and information needed to prepare the as built drawings. Cable pulling shall be done under strict supervision during the entire period of operation. Safety noms shall be observed and shall stick to the standard requirements of Ooredoo. 9. FIBER OPTIC CABLE SPLICING PROCEDURE. * Care must be taken to see that there is no dust, coating material or cable fill compound in the cable. + The cable to be cut to the required length and outside insulation removed. + Strip the cable using the stripper. It should be ensured that multiple passes with stripping tool is not done, which may cause damage to the cable. * After stripping, debris should be cleaned off the fiber using an alcohol wipe. This wipe should be replaced with fresh wiper after each use. ‘+ Cleave the cable to get perpendicular ends. The cleaver should be cleaned and there should be no stray pieces of fiber left in the cable. + After cleaving, the fiber end should not be wiped again. This coul end face of the fiber, which can cause problem with splicing,| METHOD STATEMENT FOR Doc No: BG/MS/CM/01/08/20 kl A BARD Group FIBER OPTIC CABLE —_ Date:24/08/2020 ; Rev:00 oars CHL WORK * Put the sleeve before placing the cable in the splicing machine. - Place the ends of the cable in the splicing machine and splice it. Note down the Theoretical splice loss for each fiber. + Ifany metallic member is used as strength member, it must be grounded to main Grounding Grid as per manufacture's recommendations. * Secure the cable in an optical fiber splicer organizer + Bond and ground all metallic. members of the cable. The measured ground resistance shall be 25 ohms or less. * To prevent fiber damage handle buffer tubes and fibers carefully, when bending and placing in the organizer. + While Working at Junction Box barricade shall be Installed using Tarpaulin an a table to accommodate OTDR to ensure safety of bare Fiber Optic Cable during splicing as practicable. 10. INSPECTION & TESTING This test will be conducted prior to receipt of the cable from the lay-down yard. This includes visual inspection of the cable and test using an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer(OTDR) to check that the fiber optic cable exhibits no abnormal light blocking, scattering or reflective events that have been induced during transportation. Before commencing the work, whole site shall be inspected according to the pre-installation procedure mentioned below to ensure that there are no obstructions to the work. In accordance with the Project Specifications and Quality requirements applicable, inspection and testing shall be conducted on installations. On satisfactory completion of the inspection by the Client, clearance shall be obtained for the next activity, Visual Inspection is to verify that the cable sustained no damage during shipment and to verify that the number of fibers and their color coding complies with the contractual specifications. An evaluation of the quality of cable spooiing onto the delivery drums and their visual appearance shall be conducted. Cable Specifications shall be verified against the Map ers’ Cable Test ie Sor Report supplied with each reel of cable. All cables shall be inspected to verify fiber counts, fiber coding, spg Cable marking shall be checked against the Manufacturers’ Cable|| METHOD STATEMENT FOR) Doc No: BG/MS/CM/01/08/20 — aT BARO Group, FIBER OPTIC CABLE —_Date:24/08/2020 ; Rev:00 | wos CHL WORK * Fiber count and coding shall be as specified on the Manufacturer supplied Cable Test Report. The cables shall be coiled onto the delivery drum in even layers, allowing final packaging to prevent the cables from uncoiling and the layers on the drum tangling during transport. Visual inspection shall confirm that there is no physical damage to the cable drum and cable + OTDR testis to verify that the cable sustained no damage during shipment. This test will be conducted prior to transport of the cable to the work site. Before conducting this test, a visual inspection will be performed to ensure that there is no physical damage to the cable reel. 10.4 Testing Procedure + All fibers on the cable reel are to be tested by means of an OTDR & Light Source Power Meter + Remove a sufficient portion of the cable sheath and clean it for testing, ‘+ Strip and cleave the fiber. * Connect the pigtail to the OTDR. * Connect the bare fiber to the pigtail an Elastomeric Splice or bare fiber adapter. + Run the OTDR test to check for abnormalities and to measure the cable length, total loss and average loss per kilometer. No peak discontinuities above 0.1 dB at 1560 nm and 1310 nm) + OTDR data will be recorded on a CD for evaluation and printout using @ PC with the OTDR manufacturer's software. + Repeat the above steps for each fiber. ‘+ The cable will be kept ready for installation if there is no discrepancy during the reel test. +The cable will be re-sealed after the completion of the test + Coredoo Approved and certified technician and splicer will do and conduct cable splicing and testing 11, SAFETY AND RISK MANAGEMENT The contractor will be responsible for all necessary safety measures at orks will be executed in accordance with the project health and safety plan| METHOD STATEMENT FOR) Doc No: BG/MS/CM/01/08/20 by BARO Group.
