span of 80Mtrs.

The scope covers the survey of the proposed route, tree clearance wherever necessary,

transport of material to the locations, erection of the line, testing of the line and

handing over to the A.P.E.P.D.C.L. as per specification.

2.0 GENERAL:

The contractor should be well acquainted with the I.E. Rules 1956 as amended from

time to time and with the Indian Telegraph Act 1889 so that the necessary provisions

therein may be followed.

3.0 SURVEY OF THE ROUTE:

The tentative route map of the line to be erected will be furnished by the APEPDCL to he

contractor along with the copy of the concluded agreement.


The contractor is required to carry out the detailed survey of the route of the line and fix

up the locations at the average span indicated in the schedule and mark the locations

and submit a detailed route map to the Engineer in charge of the work within 30 days

for approval. In the course of surveying by the contractor, any conspicuous variations in

the change and physical feature to those indicated in route map and as actually existing

as noticed, the deviations must be brought to the notice of the APEPDCL’s Engineer. The

APEPDCL’s Engineer if considered necessary shall make alterations to the route map and

authorities concerned and permission is given to the contractor to cutl such tree. The

contractor shall arrange to remove the obstacles as soon as possible.

At time however, it may not possible for the APEPDCL to arrange right-of-way for

excavation of pole pits or erecting the poles of stringing the line. At all such times, the

contractor shall shift his gangs to other areas. The rates quoted shall cover all such

contingencies and no extra payments shall be claimed for such contingencies.


5.0 EXCAVATION OF POLE /STAY/STRUT/ DP PITS:

After the final survey of the line and after marking the pole locations with pegs,

excavation work has to be commenced in accordance to the approved route map.

Excavation is generally done by pick axes, crow V-bars and showers although some

times earth augers are used. Excavation of pole pits in very hard or rocky soil or in rock

beds may involve blasting of rock by suitable explosives. The pits for the supports are

excavated in the direction of the line as this will facilitate the erection of support, in

addition to giving greater lateral stability, the depth of the foundation to be excavated

for pole shall be in accordance with relevant sketch for the erection of pole or strut or

D.P etc.

Excavation rates for poles, struts and D.P. pits shall be quoted by the contractor for the

following types of soil including dewatering of pits and shoring and shuttering wherever

necessary. No quotation for extra rate for dewatering during excavation and shoring

and shuttering will be entertained.

All soils other than hard rock.

Hard rock: Hard – Rock will be that which requires drilling and blasting by any method.

The cost of drilling and blasting shall be included in the quoted rates. In certain cases,

when the area around the location happens to be an inhabited area consequent to

which blasting cannot be restored to, the excavation may have, to be dug with or by the

process of drilling wedging, hammering and splitting or by the process of heating and

splitting by sudden cooling. The rate quoted shall take into consideration such

contingencies also. Whenever blasting is resorted to, the contractor shall make

adequate arrangements of safety precautions. The A.P.E.P.D.C.L. will not be responsible

for any damages or accidents arising out of process of blasting.

Note: For soils other than hard-rock excavation rate to be quoted shall include back filling the

pits with excavated soils after concreting wherever necessary.

For soils covered by hard rock variety, the excavation rate shall be including back filling

with excavated rock bits and borrowed earth duly reamed after laying the designed rock

foundation.

No extra charges shall admissible for the removal of the fallen earth in the pit, when

once excavated.


The quoted rates should cover all contingencies during the process of excavation. For

any reasons what so ever, no extra claim will be accepted.

6.0 FOUNDATION:

Classification of Foundation:

Depending on the type of soils, the subsoil water table and the presence of surface

water, four types of foundation designs will be used for each locations classified in the

following manner.

1) Wet type: To be used for locations:

Where sub-soil waters is wet at 1.5 meters or more below the ground level.

Which are in surface water for long period with water generation not exceeding one

meter below the ground level e.g. the paddy fields.

2) In black cotton soils.

a) Partially submerged type:

To be used at locations where sub-soils water table is met at more than 0.75 meters

from the ground level.

b) Fully submerged type:

To be used at locations where sub-soil waters is met at less than 0.75 meters from the

ground level.

3) Rocky type:

To be used at location where hard rock is met with and where the bond strength

between the rock and the concrete will be very high.

7.0 ANCHORING AND PROVIDING GUYS FOR SUPPORTS:

Guys are to be provided to the supports at the following places (I) Angle locations, (ii)

Dead and locations, (iii) Tee-off points, (iv) Steep gradient locations to avoid uplift on the

poles.

The installation of guy will involve the following works:

Excavation of pit and fixing of stay rod.

Fastening guy wire to the support.


Tightening guy wire and fastening to the anchor.

The marking of the guy pit for excavation, the excavation of pits and setting of the

anchor rod must be carefully carried out. The stay rod should be placed in the position

such that the angle of inclination of the rod with the vertical face of the pit is as the case

may be. The concreting of the stay at the bottom should then be carried out. The back

filling and ramming must be well done thereafter, and allowed to set for at least 7 days.

Where the existence of guy wire proves hazardous, it should be protected with suitable

asbestos pipe, filled with concrete, of about 2Mtrs. length above the ground level, duly

painted with white and black stripes so that it may be visible at night. The turn buckle

shall be mounted at the pole end of the stay and guy wire so fixed that the eye bolt turn

buckle is half way in the working position thus giving the maximum movement for

tightening or loosening.

Guy insulators are placed to prevent the lower part of the guy from becoming

electrically energized by a contact of the guy when the conductors snap and fall on them

or due to leakage. No guy insulator shall be located less than 2.6Mtrs. from the ground.

The anchoring and providing guys for supports (Single guy Bow guy an fly guy) shall be

done as per sketch 3 enclosed. Bow guy and fly guy shall have to be provided as per the

field conditions.

8.0 FIXING OF CROSS ARMS AND INSULATORS

After the erection of supports and providing guys, the next step would be mount the

cross arms on the support. The cross arm is to be mounted after the support is erected.

The lineman should climb the support having requisite tools with him and the cross arm

is then tied to a hand line and pulled up by the ground man, through a pulley till the

cross arm reaches the linemen. The ground man should station himself well to one side

so that if any material drops from the top of the pole it may not strike him. All the

materials required should be lifted or lowered by means of the hand line. In no case,

the material or the tools should be dropped or thrown from the pole top.

The fixing of 33 KV cross arms shall be in accordance to spacing detailed in Sketch G.I.

bolts and nuts and spring washers of good quality only shall be used which have to be

procured by the contractor.

8.1 Back Clamps:

The back clamps for fixing of the “V” cross arms will have to be procured by the

contractor and shall be in accordance with sketch enclosed and the clamp shall be

fabricated with 75 X 8mm M.S.Flat for 11 KV line.


8.2 Top Cleats:

The top cleat shall be got fabricated with M.S. channel of 100x50mm and MS angle of

65x65x6mm for 11 KV shall be in accordance with sketches enclosed.

9. INSULATORS (As per IS 731)

The pins for insulators shall be fixed in the holes provided in the cross arms and the pole

top brackets. The insulators shall be mounted in their places over the pins and

tightened. In the case of strain or angle supports, where strain fittings are provided for

this purpose, on strap of the strain fittings is placed over the cross arm before placing

the bolts in the hole of the cross arms. The nut of straps is so tightened that the strap

can move freely in horizontal direction, as this is necessary to fix the strain insulator.

Note:The insulators shall be cleaned and examined for defects before fixing. It shall be

ensured that all the current carrying parts are smooth and without dirt, cracks or chips.

10.0 STRINGING OF THE LINE CONDUCTORS:

For the guidance of the contractor in handling the conductor and in stringing certain

Do’s and Don’ts are given below, before the workmen actually commence the stringing

work.

10.1 Do’s and Don’ts

Do’s:

Use proper equipment for handling aluminum conductors at all times.

Use skids, or similar method for lowering reels or coils from transport or ground.

Examine reel before unreeling for presence of nails or any other object, which might

damage the conductor.

Rotate the reel or coil while unwinding conductor.

Grip all strands while pulling out the conductor.

Control the unreeling speed with a suitable braking arrangement.

Use wooden guards of suitable braking arrangement.

Use long straight, parallel jaw grip with suitable liners when pulling conductor thus

avoiding nicking or kinking of the conductor.

Use free-running sleeves or blocks with adequate grooves for drawing/paving

conductors.

Use proper sag charts.

Mark conductors with crayons or adhesive tape of such (other) material which will not

damage the strand.

Make all splicing with the proper tools.

Use a twisting wrench for twisting the joints.


Chromate or graphite conducting oxide-inhibiting grease should be applied before

cleaning with wire brush.

Don’ts:

Do not handle conductors without proper tools at any stage.

Do not pull conductors without ensuring that there is no obstruction on the ground.

Do not pull out excess quantity of conductor than required.

Do not make jumper connections on dirty or weathered conductor. Clean the conductor

using sand paper or wire brush.

Do not handle aluminum conductors in a rough fashion but handle it with care it

deserves.

10.2 Conductor Erections

The erection of overhead line conductor is a very important phase in construction.

The erection of conductor’s can be sub-divided into 4 separate parts as follows:

Transport of conductors to work site.

Paving and stringing of conductors.

Tensioning and sagging of conductors.

Jointing of conductors.

At important crossing of roads, canals, navigable rivers, railways etc., flagmen should be

in attendance to ensure that normal services are not unduly interrupted. These

crossings should only be carried out in conjunction with and with the approval of the

proper authorities concerned.

The conductor drums shall be transported to the tension point without injuring the

conductor. If, it is necessary to roll the drum on the ground for a small distance, it

should be slowly rolled in the direction of the arrow marked on the drum. The drum

should be so supported that it can be rotated freely. For this purpose the drum should

either be mounted on the cable drum supports or jacks or hung by means of chain

pulley of suitable capacity, suspended from a tripod. In case if it is not possible to raise

the conductor drum by any of the above methods, a trench of suitable depth slightly

bigger than the conductor drum may be dug, so as to facilitate free rotations of the

drum when it is suspended in the trench by means of M.S. Shaft. While paving, care

should be taken to see that conductor does not rub against any metallic fitting of the

pole or on the bad/rocky ground. Wooden tussles should be used for this purpose to

support the conductor.

The conductor should be passed over the poles on wooden or aluminum snatch pulley

blocks provided with low friction bearings. While conductor is being paved out slowly,


some braking arrangements should be made so that the rotation of the drum may be

stopped in emergency.

In case the length of one piece of the conductor is less than the length of the section in

which conductor paving is being done, it is easy to stretch one length of all phases from

one end and the remaining length from another end of the section and thereafter

jointing the two ends of the conductor where they meet on no account any part of the

conductor shall be left at a height of less than 5 meters. Above the ground over night

and the work shall be so arranged that before the end of the day, the conductor shall be

raised to minimum height of 5 meters above the ground by rough sagging.

10.3 Mid Span Jointing of Conductors:

The mid span jointing of conductors should be carried out by using 2Nos. aluminum

ferrules of required size, one inner and one outer ferrule and the crimping of the

ferrules is to be done by using proper crimping tools. Aluminum tape is to be wound

over the conductor before insertion into the ferrules to have better grip.

10.4 Sagging and Tensioning:

On the completion of the paving of the conductors and making mid-span joints if any,

tensioning operations will commence. Temporary stays will have to be provided for

both the anchoring supports in the section where the stringing has to be done. At the

tensioning end, one of the conductors is pulled manually up to a certain point and then

come along clamp is fixed to the conductor to be tensioned. The grip to the come along

clamp is attached to double sleeve pulley block or the pulley lift machine and gradually

tensioned.

The conductor should then be sagged in accordance with the sag-temperature chart for

the particular conductor and span. The sag should then be adjusted in the middle span

of the section. The Engineer will provide the sag chart.

The stretch of the conductor has to be taken out before stringing in order to avoid the

gradual increase in sag due to the setting down of the individual wires. There are ways

of accomplishing this.

10.5 Pre Stressing:

In this method the conductor is pulled up to a tension considerably above the correct

figure, but never exceeding fifty percent of breaking load for a short period of say

twenty minutes. As this method requires more time and involves the use of stronger


tackle to secure the higher tension the other method of over-tensioning is commonly

adopted.

10.6 Over tensioning:

This method consists of pulling up the conductor to a tension a little above the

theoretical tension for the prevailing temperature and fixed it up at that tension with

correspondingly reduced sag. After a certain time the conductor will settle down to the

correct sag and tension. A tension of five to eight percent more than the theoretical

value has been found to be suitable for the sizes of ACSR and AAAC conductors

standardized by REC. The ambient temperature during sagging may be recorded

correctly.

Conductors can be sagged correctly only when the tension is the same in each span

through out the entire length of the section. Use of snatch blocks reduces the friction

and chances of inequality of tension in various spans.

Sagging can be accomplished by several different methods but most commonly used

method is “sighting”. The sighting sag method of measuring sag is by the use of targets

placed on the supports below the cross arms. The targets may be light strip of wood

clamped to the pole at a distance equal to the sag below the conductor when the

conductor is placed in snatch block. The lineman sees the sag from the next pole. The

tension of the conductor is then reduced or increased, until, the lowest part of the

conductor in the span coincides with the lineman’s line of sight.

When sagging is completed, the tension clamps shall be fixed. The clamp can be fitted

on the conductor without releasing the tension. A mark is made on the conductor at a

distance from the cross arms equal to the length of complete strain insulator. Before

the insulator sets is raised to position, all nuts should be free. Come along clamp is

placed on the conductor beyond the conductor clamp and attached to the pulling unit.

The conductor is pulled insufficiently to allow the insulator assembly to be fitted to the

clamp. After the conductor is clamped to insulator, assembly unit may be released

gradually. If the tension is released with a jerk, an abnormal stress may be transferred

to conductor and support, which may result in the failure of the cross arms, stay or pole

in some cases. After the stringing is completed, all poles, cross arms, insulators, fitting

etc., are checked up to ensure that there have been no deformities etc.

The next step is to place the conductor on the top of the pin insulator from the snatch

block and removing snatch blocks. Conductors are then fastened to insulator by the use

of aluminum wires. The following points should be observed:


Proper size of the binding wire which can be readily handled and with adequate

strength to be used.

The length of tie wire should be sufficiently long for making complete tie including the

end allowance for gripping with the ends.

A good tie should provide a secure binding between the line conductor and insulator

and should reinforce the conductor on either side of the insulator.

The use of cutting pliers for binding the site wire should be avoided.

The tie wire, which has been used, previously should not be re-used.

Before tieing the conductor to the insulator two layers of aluminum tape should be

wrapped over the conductor in the portion where it touches the insulator. The width

and thickness of aluminum tape to be used for a specific size of conductors has been

specified in handbooks of aluminum conductor manufactures and the same may be

preferred to. The aluminum tapes should also be used at the tension clamp and for

proper grip.

Normally in straight runs of line, the conductors are run on the top of insulators, when

there is small angle of deviation the conductor is placed inside groove and binded.

Accordingly, there are two methods of tieing the conductors to insulators. The binding

wire/tie wire has to be procured by the contractor and the bid price shall include the

cost of this.

The contractor shall entirely responsible for any damage to the supports, other

accessories and conductor. He shall also be responsible for proper distribution of the

conductor drums to keep number and lengths of cut pieces of the conductor to a

minimum.

10.7 Conductor damage and repair:

If the conductor is damaged for whatever reasons and damage is not repaired aluminum

sleeves etc., it shall be brought to the notice of the Engineer and shall not be used

without his approval. Even repairing of conductor surfaces shall be done only in case of

minor damages, scuff marks etc. which are safe from both electrical and mechanical

points of view. The final conductor surface shall be clean, smooth, without any

projections, sharp points, cut or abrasion etc., giving satisfactory corona and R.I

performance.


No joint or splice be made in spans crossing over main roads, railways, small rivers or in

tension spans. Not more than one joint per conductor shall be allowed in one span. The

strength of the joint shall confirm to I.E rule 75.

10.8 Stringing rate:

The stringing rate for stringing of the conductor per route length of line shall include

paving, stringing, clamping, jointing, tensioning, strain disc binding, clamping and fitting

of all necessary accessories. Wherever necessary ground clearance have to be

measured to ensure obtaining adequate line clearance as per I.E. rule 77 (I).

10.9 Jumpering

The jumpering at all locations where it is required i.e. cut points and tapping points etc.

Should be done by using aluminum T-Clamps of suitable size required for the conductor,

and using aluminum tape over the conductor at the T-clamp location to have a better

grip. The bolts of the T-clamps should be tightened to the required torque to prevent

any loose contacts at the jumper locations.

10.10 TESTS:The following tests shall be carried out on wires used for AAAC as per detailed

procedures and test samples given in the IS 398 Part-IV/1994 with latest amendments

thereof.

i) Breaking Load Test.ii) Elongation test.iii) Resistance.

The rejection and retest procedure shall be followed as stipulated in IS:398/Part-IV of

1994, or any other latest amendments thereof.

The type tests as specified in the IS should be carried out not later than 5 years from the date of opening of bid.

10.11 The supplier shall furnish the following documents as proof of purchase of RAW material along with each inspection offer.

a) Invoice of the supplierb) Supplier Test Certificatec) Packing Listd) Bill of Landinge) Bill of Entry Certificate by Customf) Description of material, electrical analysis, physical inspection, certificate of surface defects, thickness and width of material wherever applicable.

through 40 mm square mesh measured in the clear.

The water used for mixing concrete shall be fresh and conform to ISI it should be clean

and free from oil, acids and alkali. Saltiest or brackish water should not be used.

The concrete should be mixed as stiff as the requirements of placing the concrete in the

forms or moulds with as and the degree to which the concrete resists segregation will

permit. Hence, the quantity of water used should not be too much.

Proper forms of moulds adequately braced to retain proper shape while concreting

should be used. The mould should be made watertight so that cement cream will not

come out leaving only sand and jelly consequently forming honeycombing in the

concrete. The rate for concrete should be made so that the works are not held up on

this account.

After concerting to the required height, the top surface should be finished smooth, with

slight slope towards the outer edge to drain off the rainwater falling on the copings.

These copings and muffing should be done after the stringing is completed in respect of

tension locations and the Engineer at site may decide such other locations as. For such

locations an adhoc reduction of Rs.100/- per location will be made while billing for

concrete and this will be released after the coping and muffing are completed.

In wet locations, the site must be kept completely dewatered both during the placing of

the concrete and for 24 hours after completion. There should be no disturbance of

concrete by water during this period. No extra rate will be paid for the dewatering and

the rate for concrete shall be inclusive of dewatering charges.

The forms of moulds shall not be removed before a lapse of about 24 hours after the

completion of concreting. After removal of the form moulds, the concreted surface,

wherever required, shall be repaired with a rich cement and sand motor in the shortest

possible time.

The full concreting for the poles if erected in excavated pit shall be done so that the

complete block will be of the dimensions 0.6X0.6X1.5Mts up to ground level including

base concreting of 75mm thick with 1:3:6 CC mix.

If augur is used for making pole pits, ramming shall be done after erection of pole.
