Existing Services
As per current information, there is existing irrigation network passing outside the construction work
area.
Underground electrical cables for existing lighting poles within the plot have been removed prior to
commencing works at the area. A full survey has been undertaken to confirm this including an
underground service scan and trial trenches hand excavated in various locations around the project to
locate any services running into, or close to the plot.

Identify exact terminating locations in advance, keeping in mind that the cable must be pulled all
the way to where it will be terminated, not just into the room. This obvious though often
overlooked step can lead to costly mistakes if forgotten.
Carefully measure the cable's path before the conduit pull to avoid the need for splices. Not only
do splices cost time and money, but they also cause loss in both signal quality and strength. In
fact, most designers specify point-to-point or device-to-device runs to avoid needless signal loss
from splices.
Pull the pull tape into the conduit, or along the cable path, for an initial measurement, and add to
that extra length for splices, terminations, and future access coils, if specified. The amount of
additional cable needed for splicing depends on site conditions, splicing method used, and long-
range plans for cable usage.
Choose crews based on the length of the pull, total degrees of bend, tail loading (force required to
pull cable off feed reel). In most cases, two- or three-person crews are ideal. That way, one person
pays the cable off the reel and into the duct, while one or two others pull at the other end.
