3. RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Construction Manager/Engr. shall study, analyze and schedule all construction
activities with his department to include manpower and equipment line up as well as
other possible resources required for the successful implementation of the
construction work activities.
2. Electrical In-charge shall study and review all necessary documents for the installation
works in his area to include the technical scope of work, specification, bill of
quantities, planned milestone dates and construction procedure in support to his
Electrical Supervisor/Foreman.
3. Electrical In-charge shall study and review all necessary documents for the Cable
Laying and Termination works in his area to include, specifications, bill of quantities
and construction procedures. He shall monitor the availability of materials in
accordance with the schedules and construction analysis.

4. PROCEDURE
4.1 Installation of Electrical Conduit Pipe
1. During the course of the installation of the conduit system, procedures for working and
dressing the installation as recommended shall be employed.
2. All bends and sets shall be in accordance with IEE regulation 522-08 formed with the aid
of a helical spring fitted internally, with if necessary, the conduit warmed sufficiently for it
to move without avoidable wall thinning of the out side of the bend.
3. All bends and sets shall be in accordance with IEE regulation 522-08 formed with the aid
of a helical spring fitted internally, with if necessary, the conduit warmed sufficiently for it
to move without avoidable wall thinning of the out side of the bend.
4. Joints between PVC conduit + fittings shall be made with suitable adhesive, but
expansion couplings shall be installed where any length of conduit , inclusive of draw in
boxes etc, exceeds five meters in length.
5. The minimum and maximum sizes of conduit to be employed shall be 20mm and
32mmdiameter respectively, unless otherwise stated in subsequent sections of
the specification.
4.2 Fixing of Electrical Conduit Pipe
1. When conduits are run on shuttering, prior to the laying of concrete insitu, additional
security must be provided near to every box and at intervals of not more than 1.2 meters
by binding short lengths of steel wire, of not less than 2mm diameter twisted around the
conduit and reinforcing steel. The conduits shall be adequately fixed to prevent
excessive movement and damage during the pouring and setting of concrete and shall
be protected from mechanical damage. Check there is no damage before screed /
concrete is poured. Unless otherwise indicated to cast in conduits shall not be less than
30mm.cores to plastered over conduits shall not be less than 5mm.
2. Where conduits are left "open ended" prior to wiring they shall be protected by caps or
plugs to prevent the ingress of building material.
3. All conduits runs must be designed to permit wiring to be readily installed after the
complete erection of the conduits through the available draw-in, accessory and luminary
suspension boxes.
4. Where surface mounted equipment (other than luminaries) is specified, all concealed
conduits shall be terminated and an adaptable box installed recessed into the wall at
every surface mounted equipment position.
5. Where conduits pass through an external wall/roof the conduit box shall be fitted on the
side and after wiring filled with an inert, permanently plastic compound having a high
insulation value.
6. Make provision in conduit and trunking, installation where building expansion joints are
crossed or settlement is likely.
7. Ensure conduits are not concealed until works has been inspected and approved.
Ensure that conduit and fittings buried in concrete or behind plaster are protected
against corrosion or electrolytic action prior to rendering.

4.3 Electrical Wiring

1. Measure and mark the center of each box.
2. Mark the height from the floor to the center of the boxes (usually 48 in. for switches and
12 in. for outlets) or line them up with existing boxes to determine electrical outlet height.
3. Add 2×4 blocks to position boxes away from wide window and door trim.
4. Cable laying above the ceiling.
5. Once you reach your cable to the intended circuit or switch box, cut it to size, leaving

at least 12 inches of extra at first. The last thing you want is to cut it too short. Strip
this last section of all but 1 to inches of sheathing to expose the wires.
6. Now, take your exposed wires and run them to the main circuit panel. You’ll want to
clearly label each cable to the room or circuit it’s leading to. Using a sharpie to mark
these before you run them to the service panel is a fail-proof way of doing so.
7. You will then strip the wires, so they are separate and ready to connect to your circuit
or switch. Use a wire cover to cover each end to keep them safe until installation can
be complete.
8. At this point, you’ll need to group and label your wires. There are many ways of doing
so—the best way is with a marker and electrical tape. You can also use zip ties if
they’re available or have wire labels for more specific grouping purposes. Then,
when your remodel is completely done, you’ll know which groups go to
your overhead lighting , the outlets, or your light switch, etc.
9. Install Outlets, Switches, and Fixtures.
