5.6. Site Engineer

 The Site Engineer will be in charge for the supervision and implementation of all excavation
works as required in the specifications and drawing, especially in giving orders to Site supervisors.
 Site engineer is also in charge for the preparation and filing of reports.

5.7. Site Foreman

 The Site Foreman will be in charge for the supervision and implementation of various excavation
works, as instructed by the Site engineer
 The Site Foreman shall also keep record of all work schedules work production and daily safely
issues

6.0 WORK PROCEDURE

 Work should be carried out by a certified trained and competent jointer aware of all product
requirements and safety practices.
 The jointer must have learnt the correctly intended installation procedure and is responsible to
arrange the site conditions required to install.

6.1. Preparation

 Check the materials are complete and suitable for the cable to be fitted on.
 Check the relevant tools required for the following installation work are available on site.
 Check the site conditions are adequate to provide the correct working environment for the
correct and clean fitting of the product.

6.2. Cable Preparation

 Cable overlapping – Lay the cables in their final position overlapping (Using heating mats and
alignment rails, heat and straighten the cables)
 Check the prepared cable insulation is not flat sided and the eccentricity is within the acceptable
limits according to the requirement.
 Check the diameter of the prepared insulation is within the limits according to the appropriate
parts.

6.3. Cable Jointing

 Marks on cables has been done according to the requirement and locate the silicone sleeve on
final positioning – Cutting and grinding should be done according to the requirement.
 Using gloves apply grease inside the sleeve and over the cable and place a split bucket into the
sleeve and using mounting tool place the silicon sleeve onto cable.
 Mount the (Sicon) torque control connector positioning it with a max. 2mm spacing between the
insulation shoulders on either side.
 Remove carefully temporary protection and ensure associated cable and pre-molded silicone
sleeves are without damage and clean
 Use cover plugs provided for (sicon) torque control connector shear bolts
