5.1 General Inspection Requirement
The whole of the material by the contract will be subject to inspection and
testing by the engineer during manufacture and on completion. The
approval of the engineer or the passing of any such inspection or test will
not, however; prejudice the right of the purchaser to reject the material if
it fails to comply with the specification when erected or to give complete
satisfaction in service. The costs of all tests and inspection shall be borne
by the contractor and shall be deemed to be included in the contract price.
Before any material is packed or dispatched from the main or sub-
contractor’s works, all tests called for are to have been successfully
carried out in presence of the engineer. Adequate notice shall be given
when the material is ready for inspection or test and every facility shall be
provided by the contractor and his inspection and his sub-contractors to
enable the Engineer to carry out the necessary inspections and tests.
Triplicate copies of all principal test records and test certificates shall be
supplied to the Engineer for all tests carried out in accordance with the
provisions of the contract.
5.1.1 If expressly agreed in the contract, the purchaser shall be entitled to
have the quality of the materials used and the parts of the instruments,
both during manufacture and when completed, inspected and checked
by his authorized representatives.
Such inspection and checking shall be carried out at the place of
manufacture during normal working hours after agreement with the
Vendor as to date and time.
5.1.2 If as a result of such inspection and checking the purchaser shall be
of the opinion that any materials or parts are defective or not in
accordance with the contract, he shall state in writing his objections
and the reasons therefore.
5.1.3 Sub-Contractors: Within two months of acceptance of the tenders
the contractor shall forward to the engineer a list of all sub-orders
placed or intended. The contractor shall submit three copies of all sub-
orders or selected by the engineer for progress or inspection. One copy
of all drawings referred to in the sub-order is to be submitted unless
otherwise agreed by the engineer. The drawings and sub-orders
submitted to the engineer will cover all major components which are
subject to electrical and mechanical pressure or stress when the
material is in operation and also auxiliaries and stores which will be
dispatched to site direct from the sub-contractor’s work. For the
purpose of this clause inter-works orders are to be treated as sub-
order. Sub-orders are to include a statement advising the sub-
contractor that the items being order will be subject to inspection and
test by the Engineer. It is important that all copies of such orders are
clearly marked with the main contractor’s name and the following
reference:
ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION COMPANY. CONTRACT No. ( 35 /2222)
Sub-Contractors are to comply with all the applicable requirements of

complete week of delay commencing on the due date of delivery,
but shall not exceed a maximum percentage deduction of ten

tubing.
2
The impedance of the stress control tubing shall not change over a range of temperature from
0 Deg. C to 125 Deg. C. The impedance shall also remain constant irrespective of the
differences in stress which will exist within the tubing due to the heating effect within the
conductor and the ambient temperature.
c) Insulation tube layer over the stress control tube and outer tube layer over armour should
have a high recovery force to achieve tight electrical interfaces and perfect sealing ability.
A Joint design with mechanical sheer bolt connectors and insulation tubing, duly tested as a
complete system, in accordance with IEC-60502-4 and CENELEC HD 629.1 S2 standard,
will be given preference to joints with multi-layer tubings.

armour case with adequate short circuit withstand capability. The steel armour case shall
also withstand the external mechanical forces that may otherwise damage the cable
components.
On all armoured cable, armouring wires or tapes shall be bonded across each straight joint in
an approved manner by means of a copper bond with a sectional area of at least 95 mm2. The
resistance of all copper bonds shall not be higher than that of an equal length of the
armouring and the metallic screen.
The design of the steel armour case shall ensure reduced overall diameter and minimum air
entrapment in the joint to improve heat dissipation and increased rating factor of the cable.
The armour case shall be secured over the armour with 2 no of stainless steel worm drive
clamps on either side. An adjustable stainless steel support ring shall be placed under the
armour to enable adequate electrical contact and to avoid the penetration of wire armour into
the cable bedding.
To ensure a reliable connection of the cable armour in single core cables, the aluminum
wires must be joined across the joint with sheer bolt mechanical or compression connectors.
f) To prevent the joint and cable components from external environment and water ingress, the
encapsulation of the joint shall be achieved by thick wall adhesive lined sealing sleeves.
Each kit shall be provided with complete detailed installation instruction and be clearly marked
to show its application.
Three copies of the instruction for the installation of each type of cable joint supplied, shall be

the screen end. The impedance of the stress control tubing shall not change over a range of
temperature from 0 Deg. C to 125 Deg. C. The impedance shall also remain constant
irrespective of the differences in stress which will exist within the tubing due to the heating
effect within the conductor and the temperature of environment.
b) The kits offered shall provide for total environmental sealing of the cable crotch. A cable
breakout with sealant coating should be provided for 3 core cable terminations.
c) Adequate quantity of sealant strips for application over the lug barrel and exposed strands
between the lug and cable insulation shall be provided in the kit.
