Project Name: Qatar Central Securities Depository Project Number:

Company: Office System Office System Contact: +974 59986531

Activity: Lighting containment & Wiring Contact No:

Date of Issue: 14th Nov 2022 Revision Number: 0

Scope:

 Containment and wiring of Normal and Emergency lights as per the approved Lighting drawing.

Purpose:

 The Initial inspection to confirm the safety and serviceability of the installation and to satisfy the
relevant features according to the approved drawing.

Quality control:

 Quality control on works has to be controlled on-site by Site/Project Engineers who monitor and
inspects each work according to the minimum requirement. The project engineer has to follow up
with the team members to maintain the quality assurance that has to be strictly observed at the site.

Pre-Installation Works:

 All materials received at the site will be inspected to make sure that the specified materials are as per
approval.
 It is mandatory to ensure that there are isolation permits or work permits placed from facility
management prior to carrying out any sort of Fire alarm or related work on site.

 All materials should be checked off against the packing list for accuracy and if a damage or shortage
of materials are noted, a replacement of the materials has to be made.

Installation Procedures:

Normal lighting – Containment:

 Ensure that there is an approved Lighting layout in hand indicating the locations of Light fittings.
 Mark out the route for the containment and the light points on the slab as per the approved drawing.

 GI conduits to be used for the lighting containments.

 Cut the GI conduit to fit the length from the one light point to the next point.
 If there are bends in the route, measure each section individually and bend.
 Fix GI conduits using proper fittings such as adaptors, glands to junction boxes and back boxes.
 During installation the run of conduits should be as straight as possible.
 All runs must be installed as a complete system before being pulled into them.
 If the checks are ok, proceed to drill holes in the existing slab to clip down
The saddle on the GI conduit. Saddles to be placed in the interval of 1m in length.
 Threaded couplings and connectors used with any type of conduit must be made with tight connections.

Normal lighting – Wiring:

 2.5 mm2 Cu PVC insulated single core wires to be used for wiring the lighting circuits.
 Group the wires together and tape the ends with black tape. Then slide a cable puller up through the first
section of the GI conduit. Tape the wires to the end of the cable puller, then pull the wires through the
section of the GI conduit.
 Plan the route for the cable run from one light point to the next point.
 Where a ladder is used to reach the area to be worked. One ladder will be footed by 2nd operative. Three
points of contact to be maintained.
 Run the cables along with the route to the length that is required for the new light points and cut the
cable from the reel.
 The supply, neutral and earth wires for all the circuits will enter the base-built power trunking to reach
the electrical DB inside the electrical room.
 The above is achieved by terminating the GI conduits on the base-built power trunking thus the circuit
wires are pulled till the electrical room.
 Test the wiring for its continuity and Short circuit.
 Once the checking is passed the wires are tide orderly and taken into the normal power DB (TAB-13)
neatly tide using cable ties.
 Trim the extra wires measuring the length of wires required to terminate at the designated breaker
position as per the approved DB schedule.
 Install the correct size circuit breaker according to DB schedule.
 Terminate the wire at the circuit breaker's output terminal.
 Make sure the wire is tide neatly and trim off any unwanted cable tie tails.
 After wire termination tightens the DB cover.
 Request Facility management to reinstate the power to DB.
 Turn on the newly installed circuit to test the functionality of light fittings and switches.

Emergency lighting – Containment:

 Ensure that there is an approved Lighting layout in hand indicating the locations of Emergency Light
fittings.
 Mark out the route for the containment and the light points on the slab as per the approved drawing.
 GI conduits to be used for the Emergency lighting containments.
 Cut the GI conduit to fit the length from the one light point to the next point.
 If there are bends in the route, measure each section individually and bend.
 Fix GI conduits using proper fittings such as adaptors, and glands to junction boxes
and back boxes.
 During installation the run of conduits should be as straight as possible.
 All runs must be installed as a complete system before being pulled into them.
 If the checks are ok, proceed to drill holes in the existing slab to clip down the saddle on the GI conduit.
Saddles to be placed in the interval of 1 m length.
 Threaded couplings and connectors used with any type of conduit must be made with tight connections.

Emergency lighting – Containment:

 2.5 mm2 two-core FP200 cables are used for wiring the emergency lighting circuits
 Slide a cable puller up through the first section of GI conduit. Tape the cable to the end of the cable puller,
then pull the cable through the section of GI conduit.
 Plan the route for the cable run from one light point to the next point.
 Where a ladder is used to reach the area to be worked. One ladder will be footed by 2nd operative. Three
points of contact to be maintained.
 Run the cables along with the route to the length that is required for the new light points and cut the
cable from the reel.
 All the emergency circuit cables will enter the base-built power trunking to reach the Emergency DB (TES-
13) inside the electrical room.
 The above is achieved by terminating the GI conduits on the base-built power trunking.
 Thus the circuit cables are pulled till the electrical room.
 Test the cable for its continuity and Short circuit.
 Once the checking is passed the wires are tide orderly and taken into the emergency power DB (TES-13)

 After wire termination tightens the DB cover.
 Request Facility management to reinstate the power to the emergency DB.
 Turn on the newly installed circuit to test the functionality of light fittings.
