9 Site Survey & Subsoil Investigation

Prior to constructing any landfall infrastructure, including the Beach Manhole & Concrete Headwall, it is
essential that adequate data has been acquired through preliminary site investigations and subsoil
analyses. This preliminary stage involves assessing a site for its suitability and the overall feasibility of
installing underground infrastructure in each site location, including performing the necessary subsoil
investigations.
The specific installation and construction requirements will depend on the nature of the site, accessibility,
resources and whether significant road or other infrastructure crossings are necessary.
It is important to establish whether the preliminary Desktop Studies (DTS) is sufficient to proceed with
the design or whether physical ground investigations are required, as each site has its own distinctive
engineering and survey requirements.
The Contractor shall carry out the sub-soil investigations and in-situ or laboratory tests required to
completely satisfy the design parameters he chooses for foundation or other geo-technical design.
Samples shall be taken as necessary and tested to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of
the various strata and of ground water, if encountered.
Records of boring and trial pit excavations and results of tests on samples shall be incorporated into a
sub-soil investigation report. This shall include recommendations on the type of foundation and on the
safe design bearing capacity of the sub-soil. The Contractor shall survey the site of the works to precisely
establish the site boundaries and ground levels over the whole area. The site survey plan shall be prepared
showing the survey results and the proposed layout of new works. Copies of this plan shall be sent to the
Customer for review.
10 Site Preparation
The contractor is responsible for:
• Preparatory works at the installation site for the manhole construction, subsoil investigations,
utility surveys and reinstatement operations.
• Mobilise all plant, equipment & personnel to the installation work site. Set up site hoardings,
protective barriers and secure the working area in preparation for the construction operations.
• Physical location of any buried services identified during the Desktop Study.
• Install any warning markers and communicate existence of buried services to all personnel as
part of a Toolbox Talk or pre-Job Safety Analysis workshop.
• Provide a detailed overview of all buried services locations for Customer Representative to
review prior to breaking ground.
• Perform ground investigations using appropriate methodology and serviceable equipment to
ensure subsurface geology conditions are known and the existence of other infrastructure is
recorded.

Issue No: 04
• An ASN approved & accepted survey spread, and drilling rig for test bores or water table
monitoring will be provided by the Contractor.
• Final site safety walkaround to ensure the site is safe to commence construction operations.
• Identify works area and enclose with safety fencing and barriers as required.
• Take photos of the installation site and immediate area to record “as-found” condition prior
to commencement of operations.
• Hold toolbox talk (TBT) with all employees and subcontractors on site, conduct safety audit
and review the HIRA and all applicable project procedures.
• Establish safe access into and exit out of the work site.
• Clear any vegetation, trees or shrubs as required to gain safe access to the work location.
• Establish a survey datum, as required, to enable beach profile to be made and to provide
correlation for depth of boring and IS cable burial measurement.
• Identify any existing services and in-service Transmission and/or Power Cables, and mark
clearly.
• Prepare equipment for survey or construction operations, before mobilising equipment to the
site ensure equipment checks are completed to minimise any risk of spillage or delays.
• Review Method of Procedure (MOP) and work plan documentation with key personnel and
record any deviations following approval of the Customer Representative.
• Provide mobilisation report for Customer review & acceptance.
• It is anticipated that though the Sites will be relatively level and free from obstructions it may
be necessary to provide fill to raise the ground level or to cut and remove to bring down the
ground level to heights like those for adjacent buildings, sites or the main roads and gate levels
as obtained from the Local Authority.
11 Design and Drawings

The Contractor shall design the engineering works and prepare complete working drawings as necessary
for the construction of the works. List of all drawings shall be submitted in the initial stage of the project.
The design of all construction works shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.
Civil engineering works and services for manholes, headwall and duct installations shall all be designed
and constructed in accordance with the relevant Codes of Practice for the purpose of satisfying the
Building Regulations of the Local Authority and obtaining the necessary Permit approval from the Local
Authority as required. Supervision of civil construction and or survey works must fulfil local authority’s
requirements.
Design calculations and detailed drawings must be submitted to the Customer for review at least four (4)
weeks before the relevant construction work is carried out.
Duct layouts and drawings shall be designed giving due consideration to the findings of the site visit and
site constraints.

Issue No: 04
Steel reinforcement and concrete mix design shall be designed by the contractor considering the loads
applied on the concrete structures and the local authorities’ rules and regulations. The reinforcement
details and concrete details provided in our drawings are the minimum requirement recommended by
ASN.
12 Excavation And Earthworks

12.1 NOC’s & Approvals
All excavations for manholes, headwalls and duct installations shall be carried out to the widths, lengths,
and depths in accordance with the approved drawings. No unlicensed or indiscriminate digging shall be
permitted. All NOC’s & Permits to excavate shall be obtained from local authorities prior to any works
being undertaken. Any underlaying services shall be identified & moved or diverted in accordance with
owners/operators requirements, prior to the civils excavation process commencing.
The Contractor shall allow for risk of meeting and having to excavate through all types of subsoil of
material, including rock. The use of explosives shall not be used unless deemed necessary and approved.
If the manhole or headwall installation site is in a developed area where utilities and buried services may
be present, particular attention should be taken to reference positions of all existing infrastructure prior
to breaking ground with any type of equipment, to avoid damage to any in-service operational cables or
other underground infrastructure or utilities that may already be installed; this applies to all land-based
operations, including within the coastal zone.
12.2 Safety
The Contractor may excavate by any method he considers suitable, subject to the local authority and
permitting approval. This includes No-Dig trenchless methods and open trench techniques.
At all times, the required road guarding items, warning signs, cones, protection barriers shall be placed
both before and during the time that work is taking place. The Contractor shall include all the timbering,
sheet piling and shoring necessary to maintain the stability of the excavations. All trenches more than
1.2m depth will have the trench sides supported by close boarding and/or shoring. The contactor is to
include all strutting and shoring necessary for the safe execution of the construction works.
The Contractor shall protect the exposed faces of excavation with approved material and lay any slope
protection in proper and timely sequence to suit the proposed method of construction. The bottom of all
excavated areas shall be trimmed, levelled, and well rammed.
12.3 Dewatering
The excavated surfaces shall be kept dry and clean by pumping, or other method deemed necessary if
water table is higher than the foundation level. Water from such dewatering shall be properly drained
away from the site and disposed of offsite in accordance with operational permitting requirements. The
water table should be brought down to minimum 300 mm below the foundation level.

Issue No: 04
Where a de-watering system is used, all necessary measures must be taken to avoid any land subsidence
due to soil migration. It is essential that the trench remains stable and firm during these temporary works
operations and that the lowered water level shall be maintained until the backfill has been placed and
compacted to the level of the surrounding ground water.
12.4 Trench Line for Duct Installation
Trench lines will be set to take into consideration the subsequent and all future cabling and jointing
operations. The trench will be kept as straight as possible considering other utilities, plants & trees,
structures, or other obstructions. The proposed trench lines will be set in advance over distances of 300
– 400 metres and then proved feasible by performing trial excavations and pilot holes, at 90 metre
intervals thus establishing the optimum line of the trench. Once excavation starts, the line will be
confirmed with trial holes at 30 metre spacing. This should be done in advance of the actual trenching
works commencing.
12.5 Width & Depth
The excavation will be no wider than is reasonably necessary for the execution of the work. In grass verges
the excavation can be wider if the Contractor wishes to use an excavator provided that the extra width
will not be detrimental to property or carriageway.
All excavations will be executed to a depth that is necessary to achieve the specified depth of cover from
the top of the ducts or concrete encasing. The measurement definition is detailed below.
The excavated floor will be flat and free from stones and rock. Where necessary suitable excavated
material or an imported fine fill may be used as a soft bed under the ducts. Extra excavation depth will be
necessary to allow for such a soft bed.
Depth of cover is defined as the measurement from the paving surface to the top of the uppermost duct
or for ducts encased in concrete to the top of the concrete surround. In the case of carriageway and grass
verge the measurement is from the surface to uppermost duct and where there is a banked verge the
measurement reference shall be from the road surface. A general guide for depth of cover for duct
installation is 1m in footway, unmade surfaces, and carriageway.
12.6 Backfilling & Compaction
Backfilling of trenches, excavations and levelling of the site shall be deposited in layers not exceeding 250
mm in thickness of uncompacted soil. Each layer watered when necessary and well rammed or otherwise
consolidated to minimum 95% of the Maximum Dry Density (MDD) obtained using an approved Standard
Compaction Test (SCT).
If soil improvement is not mentioned for any sub structure works, 200 mm thick road base material below
foundation shall be provided and compacted to not less than 98% MDD.
Should any slips occur in the excavations, banks, or filling during the execution of the works or during the
Defects Liability Period from any cause whatsoever, the Contractor shall execute the necessary remedial
works by means and use of materials approved by the Customer Representative. The Contractor shall
make good all settlement of filling that may occur up to the issue of the Final Take Over Certificate.

14 Manhole Accessories – Fittings & Furniture

14.1 Manhole Covers
K2C type heavy duty ductile iron frames and covers are recommended and shall be embedded in the cover
slab and matched to adjacent grade level. All manhole frames and covers shall be of the heavy-duty type
regardless of manhole cover type proposed by the Contractor. The covers shall withstand a static load
test of 400 KN or 40 tonnes. The cover shall be minimum of D400 class inline with BS EN 124:2015. The
Contractor will provide technical data of the frames and covers along with a construction phase plan
document. All manholes are to be secure with suitable locking mechanism to mitigate against the risk of
damage to the Outside Plant (OSP) infrastructure and any system cables installed within. The secured
locking device should be an integral part of all OSP infrastructure making up the land cable duct section,
including the Beach Manhole and Cable Vault (MH0), and all manholes in between.
The inclusion of Integrated locking devices ensure that best endeavours have been made to protect
against personal injury at all stages of the communications system life cycle, including but not limited to
terrestrial cable installation activities, system commissioning to decommissioning, and service &
maintenance operations. Any security locking keys should be kept with a responsible person, normally
with the Cable Landing Station Manager or other person(s) appointed by the system operator or owner
and contact details should be provided to the Customer.
14.2 Name Labels
For all individual manholes, suitable nameplate, signs, and labels shall be provided to ensure
identification, safe operation, and warning of danger. The text, which shall be both in English and in
regional language, shall be approved by the Customer.
The sign board(s) shall be fabricated by 1.5 mm thick aluminium with digital printing vinyl on engraved
plate.
All nameplates, signs and labels shall be UV resistant, non-deteriorating and non-warping under
aggressive weather conditions and shall be guaranteed for a minimum period of five (5) years.

Issue No: 04
Nameplate’s signs and labels shall be securely attached using bolts, nuts, or screws; adhesives will not be
permitted.
14.3 Ladder Mount
Ladder mounts shall be made from steel and hot dipped galvanised for corrosion protection. The ladders
are to be hooked at the top to engage the steel ladder support positioned in the manhole shaft.
14.4 Anchor Irons (Hooks)
Anchor irons provide a strong and convenient attachment for pulling-in blocks when installing cables and
subducts. The irons are set into the concrete opposite the duct entrances and below the MH shaft
entrance. The anchor irons should be constructed of hot forged steel and hot dipped galvanised for
corrosion resistance. Generally, the anchor irons are 16 mm diameter, but vary in design and size from
country to country.
14.5 Cable Racks
High quality Galvanised C channel cable trays to be provided for tying the cables inside the manholes. The
arrangements of C channel inside the manhole shall be as per standard ASN drawings.
14.6 Steel Structures
I beam or other steel structure shall be provided for supporting the manhole covers depending on the
anticipated traffic load passing over the manhole cover. Manholes shall be properly supported with steel
structures and those steel structures exposed to atmosphere shall be galvanised to avoid rust and
corrosion. Additional reinforcement shall be provided around the manhole cover to support the cover in
cases where steel structures are not used. All nuts and bolts connecting galvanized members shall be hot
dip galvanized.
14.7 Earth Rod
One (1) copper earth rod of 14 mm diameter and two (2) metres long is to be provided in all jointing
manholes at 100 mm distance from the corner of wall.
14.8 Sump pit with sump cover
Sump pit should be a minimum 300 x 300 x 200 mm in size and shall be provided inside all manholes. The
manhole base slab should be designed to have a slight fall towards the sump pit to ensure drainage of
water towards the sump pit. Heavy-duty Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) shall be used for the sump cover.
15 Duct Installations
15.1 Duct Specification
Wherever possible, 110 mm OD / 100 mm ID PVC ducts should be installed along the terrestrial route.
This size requirement increases to 150 mm minimum ID for seaward ducts, where possible. In all instances,
the duct specification should be provided to the Customer prior to purchase. For both powered &

Issue No: 04
unpowered systems, the terrestrial route will also consist of a conventional duct and manhole
configuration, with a minimum of four (4) 100 mm ID main ducts. One (1) of the four (4) 100 mm main
ducts will be sub-ducted with two (2) inner ducts, each with a minimum 38 mm ID. Typical subduct
specifications used by ASN are 42/38MM (OD/ID). These subducts are installed to house the transmission
cable and the earth return cables whilst collocating one 110/100 mm main duct. In all instances, the duct
specification should be provided to the Customer prior to purchase.
All cable ducts shall be laid in straight lines and regular gradients as described or directed in the drawing.
Minimum internal diameters are to be maintained while installing the ducts.
All sub-ducts shall be installed using a swivel end assembly to minimize the risk of the ducts twisting or
crossing within the main duct during installation.
15.2 Duct material
Cable ducts may be PVC, UPVC, HDPE or other material approved by the Customer and obtained from an
approved manufacturer. It may be necessary to use steel ducts in areas where sufficient burial depth
cannot be achieved. In these exceptional cases the internal sections of the steel duct must be sleeved
with the 110 mm PVC duct. It is recommended that flexi duct is not used along terrestrial routes unless
these are kept straight and not used to achieve directional changes to the duct routing and have smooth
internal walls with lubricated surfaces to facilitate cable and/or subduct installation.
15.3 Line of duct lay
The line of the ducts must be as straight as possible.
Wherever possible the natural curve of a straight duct section should be used to negotiate bends and
natural hazards without stressing the duct. A maximum of two (2) slow 22.5-degree or four 11.25-degree
bends shall be permitted in a nominal MH to MH section (250 metres). Where special circumstances
dictate the duct section length may be increased following consultation with the Customer and ASN.
The preferred position of the duct is in the footway, verge, or rough unmade ground. Carriageway duct
should only be considered when all other options have been exhausted. The ducts shall be kept well clear
of other utilities and a minimum clearance of 150 mm should be observed in all cases.
15.4 Duct installation close to Power cables
15.4.1 Single core High voltage cables
Single core high voltage cables for electricity supplies exceeding 1000 volts shall have a minimum
clearance of 450 mm with no exceptions.
15.4.2 Multi core High voltage cables
Multi core high voltage cables exceeding 1000 volts used for any purpose shall have a minimum clearance
of 300 mm. Where this is not possible concrete shall be used to separate the cable from the ducts. The
concrete shall have a minimum thickness of 50 mm and shall have an overlap on each side for the entire
length where the clearance is less than 150 mm.

Issue No: 04
15.4.3 Low voltage cables

Low voltage cables for electricity supply systems not exceeding 1000 volts shall have a minimum clearance
of 50 mm between the cable and the duct. In situations where the minimum distance cannot be achieved
then concrete shall be used. The minimum thickness of the concrete shall be 25 mm.
15.5 Duct section joints
Where two (2) or more ducts are placed together in the same trench the sockets shall be offset by a
minimum of 500 mm. Cutting ducts shall be done with a suitable tool. The inside of the duct will be
bevelled to form a slight bell mouth. All burrs must be removed before joining sections. All cut duct ends
should be square to the axis of the duct. The marks on the spigot end of a duct indicate the maximum
distance the duct can be inserted into the socket.
15.6 Duct end sections
The ducts entering the concrete manhole will be cut 10 mm short of the inside face of the chamber and
rendered with concrete to form a smooth bell mouth. The duct nest will be split approximately 6 metres
from the manhole position so that the ducts incur the slightest of angles as they enter each side of the
manhole end wall. The ducts entering the manhole will be arranged in pairs, one above the other (one on
one).
15.7 Configuration of multiple duct lays
The following should apply for multiple duct lays.
2 way – Two ducts flat
3 way – One on two
4 way – Two on two
6 way – Three on three or three on two
In situations such as bridge crossings, structural restrictions, or other difficulties where the depth of cover
is restricted the configuration can be changed so that the ducts lay all flat. When laying the ducts flat it is
important to maintain the same sequence so that ducts that have been laid flat are readily identified.
Refer to General Duct Installation Drawings Sheet No GN04.
The bottom two ducts are pushed outwards to allow the top two ducts to fall in between. Should the flat
formation be required in a manhole the formation remains the same, but it is strongly recommended that
the manhole positions be carefully planned so that this eventuality does not occur.
15.8 Duct plugs
Duct ends shall be blanked off with the correct size duct plastic caps or expanding plugs if the work is
stopped for any reason or when manhole sections are completed. The plugs or caps must stay in the
manholes until the section is ready for testing and subducting.

Issue No: 04
15.9 Duct testing

A rope will be blown through the ducts in all sections before the duct test takes place. The testing of the
duct will be done using a brush and mandrel.
The brush should be 105% of the duct internal diameter and a minimum of 200 mm in length.
The mandrel should be 90% of the duct internal diameter and a minimum of 250 mm in length. The brush
and mandrel can be joined and drawn through the ducts in one operation with the brush preceding the
mandrel.
A suitable rope will be used to pull through the brush and mandrel and draw rope or mule tape will be
attached to the end of the test configuration. The draw rope will be polypropylene and have a minimum
breaking strength of 5KN. On completion of the tests the draw rope will be securely tied off.
Joining draw ropes within a manhole section is not permitted.
On completion of testing, duct plugs will be inserted to prevent any ingress of water, silt, or debris. The
draw ropes will be secured to the inside of the plugs.
15.10 Duct seals and building entries
All duct seals on systems entering client’s buildings and premises should be gas and watertight to the
standards approved by local utility operators.
It is important that an effective seal is made between the outside of the duct and the fabric of the building
as well as sealing the inside of the duct. Sub-ducts must be cut short of the seal so that there is no space
between the subduct and cable and that the cables are sealed to the wall of the main duct.
It is important that the Contractor selects a Competent Person for sealing building duct entries.
15.11 Duct entries
• Towards Turning Manhole
The duct entries are to be such that they offer the maximum turning distances to the subducts and cables.
Refer Turning Manhole drawings
• Towards Straight Manholes
Minimum 6 metres distance shall be maintained while diverging or converging the ducts.
Refer to General Duct Installation Drawings Sheet GN01
The centre of the two ducts will be 150 mm from the side wall and a separation between the ducts of 150
mm centre to centre is preferred.
15.12 Duct encasement
The concrete used for the duct encasement shall have a minimum compressive strength (fck) of 20 MPa
(C20) after twenty-eight (28) days. There shall be a minimum cover of 75 mm around the duct nest.

Issue No: 04
Formers should be used when pouring concrete around the ducts and the concrete should be vibrated in,
if necessary, around the ducts to provide proper fill with no voids.
15.13 Warning Tapes
Telecommunications warning tape will be laid directly over the duct nest during the trench backfill. The
tape will be placed 300 mm above the concrete surround along the entire length of the duct.
15.14 Duct Spacers
Duct spacers of approved brand providing minimum spacing of 50 mm shall be used at regular intervals
while laying the duct for providing the spacing between ducts.
15.15 Further guidance notes
When planning a route such as a four (4-way) duct system the duct bank should be split so that the ducts
enter and leave the manhole close to the side walls of the chamber. To achieve this the ducts should be
branched at a minimum distance of 6 metres from the manhole where a top and bottom duct are placed
so that they enter and leave each side of the manhole. This slight deviation of the ducts does not impinge
on the pulling tensions but will offer a far better cable management system in the manholes and will
eliminate the need to pull back the subduct to set back on the bearers.
Much time is taken up with setting cables and subduct in manholes where the duct bank enters and leaves
in the centre. The ducts in the centre system also on occasions prevent good access to the chamber
whereas by using the side walls, personnel access to the MH is unhindered. The subduct and cables can
then pass through the manhole and be comfortably supported each side allowing easy access into the
manhole. There is little difference to the route construction works, as the excavated area by a manhole is
always substantially larger. Therefore, there is no increase of labour time, and the finished item provides
a safer and more desirable cable management system.
16 Site Remediation
• Re-establish ground level where required and make good any disturbed ground or shoreline
excavations, grout, and compact borehole points (where required).
• Demobilise all construction equipment, remove from site along with any waste materials.
• Reinstate displaced vegetation, re-turf grass areas and remove security fencing and hoardings.
• Road resurfacing to be done in line with local municipality/council requirements in agreed
timeframes under all circumstances.
• Clean and clear site as appropriate.
• Photograph the construction area, including staging areas and lay-down areas in the
immediate vicinity of the installation site to prove the ‘as left’ condition.
• Inspect the site with the Customer Representative and any other local representatives prior to
demobilizing from site.

Issue No: 04
17 Demobilisation
The Contractor shall provide all the necessary evidence and documentation required to demonstrate that
work has been performed according to all the SOW requirements before any demobilisation may take
place.
Only on the agreement of the Customer Representative may demobilisation take place. If the Customer
Representative does not agree to demobilisation from site, and the Contractor believes this is
unreasonable, this grievance should be formalised in the form of a CV claim from the Contractor to the
Customer at the end of all operations. However, demobilisation must only occur following agreement
with the Customer Representative.
18 Debriefing
The Contractor shall de-brief all Customer & Environmental Representatives on site on what has been
achieved daily and explain and document where it has not been possible to meet the required SOW
requirements or where Non or Partial-Compliance has been documented.
The end-of-job debriefing shall include discussion and evidence on:
• Existing infrastructure condition and status.
• Performance of all equipment
• Preliminary findings from any onsite analysis, including soil classifications.
• Comprehensive data record, subsoil sample, survey positioning, photographic & videographic
data.
• Issues encountered, including failures or omissions of SOW items, both mechanical & technical.
• Provide demobilisation report for Customer review & acceptance.
