Electrical Works Part–IV, Sub- Stations, 2007/latest.
2. Storage and Handling
a. Storage:-The Cable drums supplied by the contractor shall be storedon a

well drained, hard surface, so that the drums do not sink in the ground
causing rot and damage to the cable drums. Drums shall be stored on their
flanges and not on their flat side. Both ends of the cables shall be properly

storage. Protection from rain and sun is preferable for long term storage of
cables. there should also be ventilation between the drums. Damaged
battens of drums should be replaced as may be necessary.
b. Handling:-When the cable drums have to be moved over short distance
they should be rolled in the direction of the arrow marked on the drum.
For loading into and unloading from vehicles, a crane or a suitable lifting
tackle should be used. Small sized cable drums can also be rolled down
carefully on a suitable ramp or rails, for unloading, provided no damage is
likely to be caused to the cable or to the drum.
3. Installation
General
Cables with kinks, straightened kinks or any other apparent defects like defective
armouring etc. shall not be installed Cable shall not be bent sharp to a small radius
either while handling or in installation. The minimum safe bending radius for XLPE

Laying of cable in trench:
a. Sand cushioning: The trench shall be then provided with a layer of clean, dry sand
cushion of not less than 8cm in depth before laying the cables therein.
The cable shall be tested for continuity and insulation resistance before laying.
The cable drum shall be properly mounted on jacks, or on a cable wheel at a

suitable location, Making sure that the spindle, jack etc. are strong enough to carry
the weight of the drum without failure, and that the spindle is horizontal in the
bearings so as to prevent the drum creeping to one side while rotating.
The cable shall be pulled over on rollers in the trench steadily and uniformly without jerks
and strain. The entire cable length shall as far as possible be laid off in one stretch. PVC/
XLPE cables less than 120 sq mm size may be removed by making one long loop in the
reverse direction.
Note: For short runs and sizes upto 50 sq mm of MV cables, any other suitable method of
direct handling and laying can be adopted without strain or excess bending of
cables. After the cable has been so uncoiled, it shall be lifted slightly over the rollers
beginning from one end by helpers standing about 10m apart and drawn straight.
The cable shall then be lifted off the rollers and laid in a straight line. The cables
shall be tested for continuity of cores and insulation resistance and the cable length
shall be measured, before closing the trench.
b. Sand Covering: Cables laid in trenches in a single tier formation shall have a
covering of dry sand of not less than 17cm above the base cushion of sand before
the protective cover is laid.
In the case of vertical multi tier formation, after the first cable has been laid, a sand
cushion of 30cm shall be provided over the base cushion before the second tier is
laid. The cables in top most tiers shall have final sand covering of not less than
17cm before the protective cover is laid.
c. Extra loop cable: At the time of original installation, approximately 3m of surplus

cable shall be left on each terminal end of the cable and on each side of the
underground joints. The surplus cable shall be left in the form of a loop.
d. Mechanical protection over the covering
(i) Mechanical protection to cables shall be laid over the covering as given below
to provide warning to the future excavators of the presence of the cable and to
protect the cable from accidental mechanical damage by pick-axe blows.
(ii) The cable shall be protected by second class brick of nominal size
22cmx11.4cmx7cm or locally available size, placed on the top of the sand. The
brick shall be placed breadth wise for the full length of the cable. Where more
than one cable is laid in the same trench this protective covering shall cover all
the cables and project at least 5cm over the sides of the end cables.

(ii) Where, road be rms or lawns have been cut out of necessity or kerb stones
displaced, the same shall be repaired and made good except for turfing/
asphalting, to the satisfaction of the Engineer-in – Charge, and all the earth and

before cables are drawn. Sharp edges, if any at the ends shall be smoothened to
prevent damage to cable sheathing. The same shall be arranged by the contractor at
no extra cost to Railway.
These pipes shall be laid directly in ground without any special bed. No sand
cushioning or tiles need be used in such situations.
a) Road Crossings:
i. The top surface of the pipes shall be at a minimum depth of 1m from the
pavement level when laid under roads, pavements etc.
ii. The pipes shall be laid preferably askew to reduce the angle of bend as the
cable enters and leaves the crossing.
iii. When pipes are laid cutting the existing roads , care shall be taken so that the
soil filled up after laying the pipes is rammed well in layers with watering as
required to ensure proper compaction. A crown of earth not exceeding 10 cm
should be left at the top.
iv. The temporary reinstatements of roadways should be inspected at regular
intervals, particularly after a rain, and any settlement should be made good by
further filling as may be required.
v. After the subsidence has ceased, the top of the filled up trenches in roadways
or other paved areas shall be restored to the same density and material as the
surrounding area in accordance with the relevant CPWD building specifications
to the satisfaction of the Engineer-in-Charge.
vi. Manholes shall be provided to facilitate feeding/drawing in of the cables with
sufficient working space for the purpose. They shall be covered by suitable
manhole covers.
