4 Detailed Requirements

4.1 Security Requirements in Tower Installation

4.1.1 WAH Definition

Any work activities where there is a need to control the risk of falling a distance of 2 meters or
higher are called work at heights (WAH). Towers for telecom are high and heavy steel buildings,
so the tower installation is kind of difficult WAH. Safety in this construction deserves more
attention.
The WAH is divided into the following classes:
1. Class 1 : The height is 2m to 5m;
2. Class 2: The height is 5m to 15m;
3. Class 3: The height is 15m to 30m;
4. Special class: The height is over 30m.

4.1.2 Inspection before Tower Installation

4.1.2.1 Check the safety measures in the tower installation plan of each subcontractor: Check whether
the safety management measures are taken properly. For self-supporting towers over 50m
high, guyed tower over 30mhigher, and mast towers over 15m high and rooftop towers, the
subcontractors shall build special installation plans attached with safety calculation sheets.

4.1.2.2 Check the materials, tools and use of electric power on the construction site:

1) Loading and transport tower materials: Any hoisting operation must be directed by a
specified person. Any swing of the boom is forbidden and nobody is allowed to stand under
the area where the boom moves. Handle the materials with care when loading them by

6) Manual pulling: Pull the rope with equal force to hoist the parts vertically. No jerk, sudden
stop or shake is allowed.

7) Lifting: Bind or hang firmly the parts to be lifted, and then lock the clasp and safety switch.
Use a rope to control the hoisted parts, so as to prevent them from swinging.

8) When installing a guyed tower, check the distance between the tower and the high voltage
power line. If the construction distance cannot meet the distance requirements of the guy
rope, contact with the design company for changing site address. No guy rope is allowed to
cross between two power wires or pass over or under any power wires. The distance
between the tower and the power line shall be longer than 1.2 times of the tower height. If
a guy rope has to pass under power line, add an insulating sheath under the guy rope or
divide the guy rope into sections and then add isolators.

9) When installing a guyed tower, use temporary guy ropes to the work surface on the tower
section where no formal guy rope is designed. Follow the design specifications to make
formal guys on the tower section where guys are designed, and then lock the U-shape
clasps.

10) When installing a guyed tower, use two theodolites to monitor from two directions (the
two directions from an angle of 90°) at the same time. Use drawtongs to tighten the guys.
No nonstandard methods are accepted. Tighten all guys at the same time with equal force
and observe changes of the tower body. Make all fixing clips on the tower again and again.

4.1.3.4 Tower Material Substitution

 Lead the feeder down along the cable tray. Set the cable tray in the middle of the tower, so
as to avoid tower collapse due to deviation of the center of the guyed tower. Lay the feeder
straight without any crossover. Divide the feeder evenly into sections and then bind it with
the cable tray with traps. Use two straps at bends, so as to ensure the correct angle.
 Do not lead the power cable of pilot light with the feeder side by side.

4.3 Environmental Protection Requirements

 Do not destroy any vegetation, culture relics, or water sources during the construction.
 Use special ground anchors for guy ropes in densely populated places. For example, use a
concrete base to raise the anchor foundation, so as to keep the net height of guys as 4.5
meters.
 The subcontractors must restore the site after construction and bring all remaining
materials out of the site
 Comply with the local noise control criteria and working time rules during construction in
urban area.
 Set a dustman in any construction site in urban area.

4.5.3.9 Keep power cables away from the signal cables because the former produce heat during work.
The core size of power cables must ensure safe power in the event of the maximum working
current of the powered device. Cut the surplus part of any power cable instead of coiling it up.
Do not press the sheath of any power cable by other materials, especially the sharp ones. Use

cables with no joint as power and grounding cables. All non-contacting parts of any cable must
be well insulated.

4.5.3.10 Prior to any high temperature operations (welding, soldering, and material heating), remove all
combustibles out of the working area and take isolation and emergency measures.

4.5.3.11 Carry out cable constructions in the specified temperature range, because the cable sheath
splits easily under low temperature. Do not drop, twist, or knock the sheath of any cable.

4.5.3.12 Do not affect the use of fire-fighting and anti-theft equipment when installing devices. If the
engineering requires layout changes of the relevant fire-fighting and anti-theft devices, explain
the situation to the customer and submit an application to the fire-fighting and anti-theft
management department of the customer. Do not change the layout without permission.

4.5.3.13 Every day when you end the work, check out the materials and tools and keep them by type.
Cut off the power supplies (water and gas supplies if any), and clean the site.

4.5.3.14 When operating boards, disks and other parts that contain electronic parts, wear anti-static
wrist strap and use other necessary anti-static equipment. All protective tools, packaging
materials, and the working environment must meet the requirements in Management
Regulations on ESD Prevention in Technical Supporting Equipment Rooms.

4.5.3.15 Clean air filters of all devices and surfaces of all cabinets at the end of the construction if there
is a collection of dust in the equipment room.

4.5.4 Safety Requirements in Software Debugging of Main Devices

4.5.4.1 Apply for all software through legal channels and use the software formally released by Huawei.

4.5.4.2 Apply for approval from the relevant management of the customer before you carry out any
operation on a running device. Such operations shall be supervised by the customer’s designee.

4.5.4.3 Service cutover, data setting, and hot swap, loading, and reset of critical boards beyond the
default period (00:00 to 6:00 in usual; for special products, follow their requirements) in the
industry forbidden.

4.5.4.4 Build a specific technical solution and a safe rollback solution before any cutover, major data
modification or upgrade (technical solutions for major upgrading/cutover must be reviewed by
the specified department). Test and check as per the solution and the data setting criteria.
Charging and safe rollback are the key points. After cutover or upgrading, make a call for test
and check all office direction charging data and bills. Observe for a period as specified after
cutover.

4.5.4.5 For any major operation, follow the management rules of both Huawei and the customer. If any
rules of the customer conflict with that of Huawei, report to the relevant department of Huawei
and achieve an agreement with the customer under negotiation.

4.5.4.6 Fill out Test Record and Maintenance Journal carefully. Back up the original data before any
data operation. Back up the former version before any version upgrading.

4.5.4.7 If the debugging device (e.g. laptop) needs to be connected to the network where the main
device is located, submit a site service application in advance. Apply for an IP address debugging
device, and then connect it to the network upon the consent of the customer.

4.5.4.8 Cut out viruses periodically from the floppy disk used by the system. Check that the hard disk
does not contain any program or data that is not related to running of the system. Check the
running state and data of devices and remove dormant troubles if any.

4.5.4.9 During troubleshooting of outsourced devices, the outsourced device engineers must submit a
service application and a solution to both the end customer and the relevant department of
Huawei. Then they carry out the operations upon approval.

4.5.4.10 Any scripts built by the customer must be submitted by the relevant branch to Huawei R&D
and can be run only after being approved by Huawei.

4.5.4.11 Never disclose any product secret without permission of Huawei. Never disclose any
commercial or technical secrets of customers.

4.5.4.12 Never accept any task beyond the delivery range specified in the contract without permission.
Finish all voluntary services authorized by the company in a meticulous manner.
