DESCRIPTION

MADINAH SOLAR-PV (MDN-PV) 110/13.8KV SUBSTATION IN MADINAH.

A) OHTL BETWEEN MDN-PV GANRTY AND CUT POINT:

Provide and install Two (2) No of OPGW each having approximately 3.1 kilometers
route length between the gantry structure of MDN-PV and the proposed cut-point of the
existing line between ICITY and MEDSO as per the attached conceptual drawing

JF Supply and install single mode, overhead all dielectric Self-supporting non-metallic fiber
optic cable (ADSS NMFOC) (if applicable at all locations where the installation of OPGW
is not possible due to the low clearance of the existing overhead transmission lines or for
APPROVED
any other valid reason/requirements). The elevation of SS NMFOC shall not be lower
TESAD-WOA
than the elevation of the conductor.

CONTRACTOR shall maintain the continuity of overhead ground wire by installation of

counterpoise system between the steel structures/latticed steel gantry structures where
the OPGW/OGW cannot be continued due to the low clearance of the existing overhead
transmission lines or for any other valid reason/requirements. The counterpoise system
shall be designed to resist a fault current of 24kA for 0.3 second at 55 °C initial
temperature. The counterpoise system shall be in accordance with
TES-P-122.10 & 10-TMSS-6.

Provide and install four-way OPGW - SS NMFOC fiber optic cable joint boxes at the
steel structures or latticed steel gantry structures (OPGW-SS NMFOC transition).
