mainly) that will be presented at later stage (once completed the purchase phase)
The hypotheses considered for the civil design of the the mentioned scope must be based on the list
of documents above.
In the event of preliminary technical information pending, AE will be notified as soon as possible. It will
be the obligation of the Designer to request AE the necessary documentation that is not available.
5.2 GENERAL TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA
01 The design will aim to meet the requirements defined in this document, minimizing costs (value engineering)
02 It is required to confirm the traffic and types of vehicles that will access the Substation
The foundation design for electrical equipment will take into account the geotechnical study and consider the most technically and
03
economically appropriate construction solution.
The project has a useful life of 30 years. The different elements must allow proper operation with standard maintenance
04
activities.
05 All designs, calculations and drawings shall be based on the International System of Units (S.I.).
06 The design will comply with Acciona's "Safety in Design" Instruction, that will be provided by Acciona
5.3 MAIN TRANSFORMER AND OTHER ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS FOUNDATIONS
This Section sets the minimum requirements that must be met for the design and execution of
foundations for transformers and rest of electrical equipments located in the Substation.
This specification does not replace the applicable codes and standards where the new facility is to be
built, and local regulations must be consulted for specific compliance.
All foundations will be dimensioned to withstand reaction loads supplied by Equipment Vendors.
Designer shall also consider settlement constraints imposed by Vendor documentation.
Designer shall calculate these foundations considering simple load cases and combining them
according the factors of Local Regulations.

OPOR
In case of the foundations were located over an artificial platform, this platform will be designed by
Other and provided to Designer by Acciona. The Substation Designer shall consider that this platform
will be able to withstand 1.5 kg/m2 and it will have a minimum slope for rainfall drainage (0.5 %).
If foundations rest on natural ground, they shall be dimensioned according to project Geotechnical
Information.
Foundations materials (concrete, reinforcement, cement, etc) shall comply with local regulations and
recognized International Standards. Type of cement or any additional protection measurement shall
be considered according soil aggressiveness.
5.3.1 TRANSFORMER FOUNDATION
The Main Transformer foundation will be made by means of a pit surrounded by a concrete wall.
Loading walls will be placed on the pit slab, with rails (if required by Transformer) that allow the
equipment to be extracted from the pit for maintenance tasks.
The transformer pit will have internal channels separated by the loading walls, connected to each other,
which will allow the oil to be collected in the first instance. These channels will be covered in their
upper part with a metallic tramex and a thick gravel cover.
The pit dimensions and its perimeter wall will have a capacity according the Local Regulations and at
least of 1.3 times the capacity of the transformer oil container.
The transformer pit must be waterproofed to prevent any leakeage.
The requirements of Instruction I01_GAE07015 on Environmental Criteria must be met.
5.3.2 OTHER ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT FOUNDATIONS
They shall be footings shallow foundations if possible and shall be dimensioned to withstand reaction
loads supplied by Equipment Vendors.
5.4 ELECTRICAL TRENCHES
Electrical trenches will be precast concrete preferably.

The control cable ducts and the power cables will run through separated trenches.
The entrance of Medium Voltage cables to the substation will be carried out in a single pit if possible.
5.5 DRAINAGE SYSTEM

A drainage system shall be designed to avoid any accumulation of water or its filtration in areas close
to embankments, excavation bottoms, electrical trenches or any other where water accumulation
could lead to an electrical or structural risk.
Drainage network will be designed preferably by means of drain collection pipes and manholes and
ditches close to internal substation roads.
Non entrance of water coming from outside the Substation must be ensured, according to hydrological
study indications.
