Note:
Fracture modulus - the average number of fractures per one meter of measurement line, located on the

3.3. Embankment and backfills
1) The design must specify the types and physical and mechanical characteristics
of soils intended for the erection of embankment and backfills and special requirements
for them, the required degree of compaction (density of dry soil or compaction factor),
the boundaries of parts of the embankment to be erected from soils with different
physical and mechanical characteristics.
Under agreement with the customer and the design organization, soils of
embankment and backfills, if necessary, can be replaced.
2) When using different types of soils in the same embankment, the following
requirements must be followed:
 it is not allowed to use different types of soils in one layer, unless it is

provided for by the design;
 the surface of layers of less draining soils under layers of more draining
soils should have a slope of 0.04-0.1 from the axis of the embankment to the
edges.
3) The use of soils with a concentration of soluble salts in vapor moisture greater
than 10% is not allowed for backfill within 10 m from the existing or being designed non-
insulated metal or reinforced concrete structures.
4) Experimental compaction of soils of embankments and backfills should be

carried out in the presence of instructions in the design, and in the absence of special
instructions - if the volume of surface compaction at the site of 10 thous. m 3 or more.
-67-
As a result of experimental compaction, the following must be established:
 thickness of poured layers, number of passes of compacting machines on

one track, the duration of the impact of vibrating and other working bodies on the
ground, the number of blows and the height of ramming, and other technological
parameters that ensure the design density of the soil
 values of indirect indicators of compaction quality subject to operational
control ("failed" for compaction by ramming, the number of blows of dynamic
density meter, etc.).
 If the experimental compaction is to be used within the embankment to be
erected, the location of the work must be specified in the project.
5) When erecting embankments, the width of which at the top does not allow for a
U-turn or a departure of vehicles, the embankment must be filled out with local
widenings for the device of U-turn or exit platforms. Additional volumes of earthworks
should be included in the construction design organization.
6) Backfilling of trenches with laid pipelines in non-subsiding soils should be

performed in two stages.
The first stage includes backfilling of the lower zone with unfrozen soil containing
no solid inclusions larger than 1/10 of the diameter of asbestos-cement, plastic, ceramic
and reinforced concrete pipes at 0.5 m above the pipe top, and for other pipes - with
inclusion-free soil larger than 1/4 of their diameter at 0.2 m above the pipe top with
sinus pads and its even compaction in layers to the designed tightness on both sides of
the pipe. When backfilling, the pipe insulation must not be damaged. Joints of pressure
pipelines are backfilled after the preliminary tests of communications for strength and
tightness in accordance with the requirements of KMK 3.05.04-97.
In the second stage, the upper zone of the trench is backfilled with soil that does
not contain solid inclusions larger than the pipe diameter. In this case, the pipeline must
be preserved and the density of the soil should be set by the design.
7) Backfilling of trenches with non-passable underground channels in non-subsiding

soils should be performed in two stages.
At the first stage, backfill the lower zone of the trench to a height of 0.2 m above
the top of the channel with unfrozen soil, containing no solid inclusions larger than 1/4 of
the channel height, but no more than 20 cm, with its layer-by-layer compaction to the
design density on both sides of the channel.
At the second stage, the upper zone of the trench is backfilled with soil that does
not contain solid inclusions over 1/2 of the channel height. In this case, the preservation
of the channel and the density of the soil established by the design should be ensured.
8) Backfilling of trenches, on which no additional loads (except its own weight of
soil) are not transferred, can be performed without compaction of soil, but with the
backfill along the trench route, the size of which should be determined taking into
account the subsequent natural settlement of the soil.The presence of a roller should
not prevent the use of the territory in accordance with its purpose.
9) Backfilling (except for those performed in type II subsidence soils) of narrow

cavities, where it is possible to ensure compaction of soil to the required density by
existing means, should be performed only with low-compressible (deformation modulus
20 MPa or more) soils (crushed stone, gravel-pebble and sand-gravel soils, sands of
large and medium size) or similar industrial wastes with water pouring unless another
solution is provided in the project.
-68-
10) Losses of soil during transportation to earthworks by motor transport, scrapers

and earth moving trucks should be taken into account in the amount, %:
 when transporting up to 1 km - 0,5;

 at larger distances - 1.0.
11) Losses of soil during its movement by bulldozers on the base, composed of
another type of soil, should be included in the amount, %:
 at backfilling of trenches and pits - 1.5;

 when laying in the embankment - 2.5.
It is allowed to take a higher percentage of losses with sufficient justification, by

joint decision of the customer and the contractor.

welded joints of steel pipelines must meet the requirements of GOST 16037-80.
2) Before assembly and welding, the pipes should be cleaned of dirt and soil, and
the shape of the edges should be checked. The edges and the adjacent inner and outer
surfaces of the pipes should be cleaned to a width of at least 10 mm to clean metal.
3) Assembly and welding of pipes in the presence of moisture on the surfaces of the
edges and areas adjacent to the joint is prohibited.
4) Before tacking and welding the outer surface of the connected pipes at a

side must be made with an offset of the welds of the welded pipes at least 100 mm in
relation to each other. When assembling pipes with a longitudinal or spiral seam
welded on both sides, these seams may not be offset. Pipes must be laid so that the
longitudinal seams are accessible for inspection.
7) Cross-welded joints must be spaced at a distance of at least:
 0.2 m from the edge of the pipeline support structure;
 0.3 m from the outer and inner surface of the chamber or the surface of the
enclosing structure through which the pipeline passes, as well as from the edge

8) Connecting the ends of the jointed pipes and pipe sections, if the gap between
them is more than allowed should be performed by inserting a "spool" of length not less
than 200 mm.
9) The distance between the circumferential weld seam of the pipeline and the
seam of the welded joints to the pipeline should be at least 100 mm.
-109-
10) Welding of fittings, welding of nozzles and other parts in the welded seams of the
pipeline is strictly prohibited.
11) Pipe assembly shall be performed using aligners. Dents on pipe ends may be
repaired with hammerless unclamping devices provided the depth of the dent does not

12) The joints are assembled by tack welding. Butt tacking is performed using
electrodes or welding wire of the same grades as for welding the main weld of the
pipeline. The number and length of tacking depends on the welding procedure and
pipe diameter. In any case, the number of tacking should be at least three and the
height of the tacking should be 40-50% of the pipe wall thickness.
13) Welders are allowed to weld joints of steel pipelines in the presence of
documents for the right to perform welding work in accordance with the rules of
certification of welders, approved by Gosgortekhnadzor of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Every welder who starts welding pipelines for the first time or has a break in his
work of more than 3 months, as well as in the case of new brands of welding
consumables or new types of welding equipment, must weld an allowable joint in a
production environment (on the construction site).
The access joint shall be subjected to:
 external examination in accordance with GOST 16037-80;
 radiographic control in accordance with GOST 7512-82;

66.
In case of unsatisfactory results of the test joint, the other two joints shall be
inspected again, but not earlier than seven days after the last inspection. If the repeated
test results are unsatisfactory at least one of the joints the welder is not considered to
have passed the test and may be allowed to weld pipelines only after additional training,
but not earlier than one month from the date of the previous test.
14) Each welder must have a branding assigned to him. The welder is required to
stamp or guide the branding at a distance of 30-50 mm from the joint on the side
available for inspection.
15) Welding work in sub-zero ambient temperatures without heating of the welded
joints is allowed:
 up to minus 10° ambient temperature for carbon steel pipes with carbon
content over 0.24%, as well as for low-alloyed steel pipes with wall thickness
over 10 mm
 at ambient air temperatures down to minus 20° for carbon steel pipes with
carbon content not exceeding 0.24% (irrespective of pipe wall thickness), as
well as for low-alloyed steel pipes with wall thickness not exceeding 10 mm.
-110-
At ambient temperatures below the above limits, welding should be performed

with heating in special sheds, in which the air temperature should be maintained at least
the above or heated in the open air at the ends of the welded pipes to a length of at
least 200 mm to a temperature not lower than 200 ° C.
When heating, the heating zone width should be uniform and the set temperature
should be maintained until the welding process is complete. After welding is complete, it
is necessary to ensure gradual cooling of the joints and adjacent areas of the pipes by
covering them with dry heat insulating mats made of asbestos or mineral fiber.
The tacking of pipes at sub-zero air temperatures must be done particularly carefully
and is recommended to be replaced by solid welding of the first layer of the weld.
16) When welding work is performed outside during precipitation, the welding spots
must be protected from moisture and wind.
17) In manual arc welding, the individual weld layers must be superimposed so that
their closing sections in adjacent layers do not coincide, but are offset one from the
other by at least 15 mm.
The number of layers required to fill the joint preparation depends on the wall thickness.
Pipe wall thickness, mm 4-6 7-11 12-14 15-18 18-22 23-25
Number of filling layers 2 3 4 5 6 7
18) Each layer should be cleaned of slag and splashes of molten metal before the
next one is applied and carefully inspected to detect possible defects.
Areas of the seam with cracks, shells, pores are cut out, and the craters of the seams
are welded.

accordance with the requirements of SNiP 3.01.01-85;
 Inspection of welded joints continuity with detection of internal defects by one of

the non-destructive (physical) methods of radiographic (X-ray or gamma-ray)
control according to GOST 7512-82 or ultrasonic according to GOST 14782-86.
Application of ultrasonic method is allowed only in combination with radiographic

method, which must be checked at least 10% of the total number of joints to be
checked.
21) During operational quality control of welded joints of steel pipelines should check
the quality of edge preparation and assembly for welding, compliance with welding
procedure (compliance with welding materials standards, welding modes, the order of
welds, and the quality of layer-by-layer stripping of seams).
22) All welded joints should be inspected externally. Inspection shall be made with
the naked eye or with a magnifying glass with 10x magnification. Before the inspection
of the weld and the adjacent surfaces to a width of at least 20 mm (on both sides of the
weld) should be cleaned of slag and splashes of molten metal, dross and other
contaminants.
-111-
The welded joint is considered satisfactory based on the results of external

inspection, if it is not detected:
 cracks in the seam and adjacent area;
 deviations from the allowable dimensions and shape of the weld;
 undercuts, cavities between the rolls, puddles, burns, pores that are not welded
and come to the surface, non-swelling or sagging at the root of the seam (when

kgf/ cm2) - in not less than 10% (but not less than three joints per welder) are subject to
inspection of welds by physical testing methods.
24) Welded joints for control by physical methods are selected in the presence of the
customer's representative, who writes down in the work log the information about the
joints selected for control (location, welding marks, etc.).
25) Physical method of control should be subjected to 100% of welded joints of

pipelines laid on the sections of crossings under and over the railway and streetcar
tracks, through water barriers, under roads, in city sewers for communications in case
of combined laying with other utilities. The length of the monitored sections of pipelines
at the crossing sections should be not less than the following dimensions:

devices plus at least 4 m in each direction from the outermost boundaries of the
crossed structure.
26)Welds should be rejected if inspection by physical testing methods reveals

cracks, non-welded craters, burns, fissures, as well as lack of penetration at the
root of the weld made on the base ring.
When checking the welds by radiographic method acceptable defects are
considered:
 voids and inclusions with sizes not exceeding maximum permissible according to
GOST 23055-78 for the 7th grade of welded joints;
-112-

polyvinyl chloride pipes, and if possible mechanical damage by segments of thin-walled
steel pipes.
5) When polyvinyl chloride pipes exit to walls in places of possible mechanical

damage, they should be protected by steel structures to a height of up to 1.5 m or
perform exit from the wall by sections of thin-walled steel pipes.
6) The connection of plastic pipes shall be made:

5.3.8. Cable line
1) These rules should be observed when installing power cable lines up to 220 kV.
Installation of cable lines of subways, mines, mines should be performed taking
into account the requirements of the All-Union State Standard, approved in the order
established by KMK 1.01.01-96.
2) The smallest allowable bend radii of cables and allowable level difference
between the highest and lowest points of paper-insulated cables on the route should
meet the requirements of GOST 16441-78, GOST 24334-80, GOST 1508-78-E and
approved technical specifications.
3) When laying cables, measures should be taken to protect them from mechanical
damage. Tensile forces of cables up to 35 kV shall be within the values given in Table

Notes:
i. Pulling cable with plastic or lead sheathing is permitted only by the cores.
ii. Refer to Table 4 for cable pulling forces when pulling cable through a
block sewer.
iii. Cables armored with round wire shall be pulled by the wires. Allowable
tensions are 70-100 N/sq. mm.
iv. Control cables and armoured and unarmoured power cables with a cross-
section of 3 x 16 mm², in contrast to the cables of larger cross-sections given in this
table, may be laid mechanically by pulling on the armour or on the sheath with a wire
stocking, the pulling force shall not exceed 1 kN
-126-
4) Cables should be laid with 1-2% length reserve. In trenches and on solid
surfaces inside buildings and constructions the reserve is achieved by laying cables "in
a loop", and on cable structures (brackets) this reserve is used to form a sag boom.
It is not allowed to lay cable reserve in the form of rings (coils).
5) Cables laid horizontally on structures, walls, ceilings, trusses, etc. should be

rigidly fixed at the end points directly at the end couplings, at bends of the route, on both
sides of bends and at couplings and locking couplings.
6) Cables laid vertically on structures and walls shall be secured to each cable
structure.
7) The distances between supporting structures shall be taken in accordance with

the working drawings. When laying power cables and control cables with aluminum
sheathing on the support structures with a distance of 6000 mm the residual deflection
in the middle of the span must be provided - 250 - 300 mm when laying on trestles and
galleries, at least 100-150 mm - in other cable structures.
Structures, on which unarmoured cables are laid, must have a design that excludes the
possibility of mechanical damage to the cable sheaths.
At the points of rigid fixing of unarmored cables with lead or aluminum sheath, gaskets
of flexible material (e.g. sheet rubber, polyvinyl chloride sheet) shall be laid on the
structures; unarmored cables with plastic sheath or plastic hose, and armored cables
shall be allowed to be fixed to the structures with brackets (clamps) without gaskets.
8) Armoured and unarmoured cables inside and outside in places where

mechanical damage can occur (movement of vehicles, cargo and machinery,
accessibility for unskilled personnel), must be protected to a safe height, but not less
than 2 m from the ground or floor and to a depth of 0.3 m in the ground.
9) The terminals of all cables which are not sealed during installation shall be
temporarily sealed prior to installation of couplings and terminations.
10) Passages of cables through walls, partitions and ceilings in production facilities
and cable structures shall be made through sections of non-metallic pipes (non-
pressurized asbestos, plastic, etc.), postholes in reinforced concrete structures or open
open apertures. Gaps in sections of pipes, openings and openings after laying cables
must be sealed with non-combustible material, such as cement with sand by volume
1:10, clay with sand - 1:3, clay with cement and sand - 1.5:1:11, perlite blown with
building plaster - 1:2, etc., throughout the thickness of the wall or partition.
Gaps in the passages through the walls are not allowed to be caulked, if these
walls are not fire barriers.
11) The trench prior to cable laying should be inspected to identify places on the
route containing substances that are destructive to the metal cover and cable sheath
(salts, lime, water, bulk soil containing slag or construction waste, areas located closer
than 2 m from cesspools and garbage pits, etc.). If it is impossible to bypass these
places, the cable should be laid in a clean neutral ground in unpressurized asbestos-
cement pipes, covered outside and inside with bitumen compound, etc. When filling the
cable with neutral ground, the trench should be further expanded on both sides by 0,5-
0,6 m and deepened by 0,3-0,4 m.
-127-
12) Cable entries into buildings, cable structures and other premises shall be made
in asbestos-cement non-pressure pipes in the actual holes of reinforced concrete
structures. The ends of the pipes should protrude from the wall of the building into the
trench, and if there is a lining - beyond the line of the latter at least 0.6 m and have a
slope towards the trench.
13) When laying several cables in a trench, the ends of cables intended for
subsequent installation of couplings and locking collars should be located with an offset
of the joints by at least 2 m. At the same time there shall be left a reserve of cable
length necessary for checking insulation for moisture and mounting of couplings, and
laying of compensator arc (length at each end not less than 350 mm for cables up to 10
kV and not less than 400 mm for cables of 20 and 35 kV).
14) In cramped conditions with large flows of cables it is allowed to place

compensators in the vertical plane below the level of cable laying. In this case, the
coupling remains at the level of cable laying.
15) The cable laid in the trench shall be covered with the first layer of soil,
mechanical protection or a signal tape shall be laid, after which representatives of the
electrical installation and construction companies together with a representative of the
customer shall inspect the route with a report on the hidden works.
16) The trench shall be finally backfilled and tamped after the installation of couplings
and the test of the line increased voltage.
17) Backfilling of the trench with lumps of frozen ground, soil containing stones,
pieces of metal, etc. is not allowed.
18) Trenchless laying from a self-propelled or traction-mounted knife cable laying

machines is allowed for 1-2 armored cables up to 10 kV with lead or aluminum
sheathing on cable routes, remote from engineering structures. In urban power grids
and industrial enterprises, trenchless laying is allowed only on long sections if there are
no underground utilities, intersections with engineering structures, natural obstacles and
hard coverings on the route.
19) When laying a cable line route in an undeveloped area along the entire route,
identification signs shall be installed on concrete posts or on special signs-pointers,
which shall be placed at turns of the route, at locations of couplings, on both sides of
intersections with roads and underground structures, at entrances to buildings and
every 100 m on straight sections.
On arable land identification signs should be installed at least every 500 m.
5.3.9. Laying in the modular cable conduits
1) The total length of the block channel under the conditions of maximum
permissible pulling forces for unarmored cables with lead sheath and copper conductors
shall not exceed the following values:
Cable section, sq. mm до 3x50 3x70 3x95 and higher

Critical length, m 145 115 108
-128-
For unarmored cables with aluminum conductors with a cross section of 95 sq.
mm and above in lead or plastic sheathing, the length of the channel shall not exceed
150 m.
2) Maximum allowable pulling forces of unarmored cables with lead sheathing and
with copper or aluminum conductors when attaching a pulling rope to the conductors, as
well as the required forces to pull 100 m of cable through the block sewer are given in
Table 4.
3) For unarmored cables with plastic sheath, the maximum allowable pulling forces
should be taken according to Table 4 with correction factors for conductors:
 copper - 0,7;
 solid aluminum - 0,5;
 solid aluminium - 0,25.

Note:
To reduce the pulling force when pulling the cable, it should be covered with grease that
does not contain substances that are harmful to the cable sheath (tavot, solidol).
5.3.10. Installation notes of 110-220 kV cable lines
1) Working drawings of cable lines with oil-filled cables for 110-220 kV voltage and
cables with plastic (vulcanized polyethylene) insulation for 110 kV and the NSR for their
installation should be agreed with the company - the cable manufacturer.
2) Cable and ambient air temperature during laying should not be below: minus 5 °
C - for oil-insulated cable and minus 10 ° C - for cable with plastic insulation. At lower
temperatures, laying can be allowed only in accordance with the method statement.
3) Cables with round wire armor when mechanized laying should be pulled by the
wires with a special gripper to ensure equal distribution of load between the wires of the
armor. In this case, to avoid deformation of the lead sheath, the total pulling force
should not exceed 25 kN. Unarmoured cables can be pulled only by cores with the help
of a gripper mounted on the upper end of the cable on the drum. The maximum
permissible pulling force in this case is determined from the calculation: 50 MPa (N/sq.
-129-
mm) - for copper, 40 MPa (N/sq. mm) - for hard aluminum cores and 20 MPa (N/sq.
mm) - for soft aluminum cores.
4) The traction winch shall be equipped with a recording device and an automatic
shutdown device when the maximum permissible tension value is exceeded. Recording
device shall be equipped with a self-recording device. Reliable telephone or VHF
communication should be installed for the duration of the laying between the locations
of the cable drum, winch, turns of the route, crossings and intersections with other
utilities.
5) Cables laid on cable structures with a span of 0.8-1 m between them must be
fixed on all poles with aluminum clips with the laying of two layers of rubber 2 mm thick,
unless otherwise specified in the working documentation.
5.3.11. Cable run marking
1) Each cable run shall be marked and have its own number or name.
2) Openly laid cables and cable couplings shall be tagged.

On cables laid in cable structures, tags shall be installed at least every 50-70 m,
as well as in places of change of route direction, on both sides of passages through
interfloor ceilings, walls and partitions, in places of cable entry (exit) into trenches and
cable structures.
On concealed cables in pipes or blocks, tags should be installed at the end
points at the end couplings, in wells and block sewer chambers, as well as at each
coupler.
3) Tags should be used: in dry rooms - made of plastic, steel or aluminum; in wet
rooms, outside buildings and in the ground - made of plastic.
Markings on tags for underground cables and cables laid in premises with
chemically active environment should be made by punching, punching or burning. For
cables laid in other conditions, markings may be made with indelible paint.
4) Labels shall be fixed on cables with kapron thread or galvanized steel wire with
diameter 1-2 mm or with plastic band with a button. The place of fixing tags on the cable
wire and the wire itself in wet rooms, outside buildings and in the ground should be
covered with bitumen to protect against the effects of moisture..
5.3.12. Electric lighting
1) Luminaires with fluorescent lamps must be handed over by the customer for
installation in good condition and checked for luminous effect.
2) Luminaire attachment to the supporting surface (structure) shall be demountable.
