12. INSTALLATION OF DUCTS (CONDUIT)
12.1. Installation techniques and procedures
Duct-line routes should be selected to balance maximum flexibility with minimum cost and to avoid
foundations for future buildings and other structures. Where it may be necessary to run
communication lines along with electric power distribution lines, two isolated systems in separate
manhole compartments should be provided. Where possible, ducts should be installed in the same
concrete envelope. Electric and communication ducts should be kept clear of all other underground
utilities, especially high temperature water or steam pipes.

12.2. Duct materials

Acceptable standard materials for ducts include fibre, asbestos-cement, tile, and plastic. Rigid steel
conduit may also be installed below grade and should be provided with field or factory applied
coatings where required.

12.3. Size of ducts

Size of conduits in a duct bank should be not less than 10cm inside diameter except that ducts for
communication lines with a minimum diameter of 7.5cm are acceptable.

12.4. Installation of ducts without concrete encasement

Trenches for single-duct lines should be not less than 15cm or more than 30cm wide, and the trench
for two or more ducts installed at the same level should be proportionately wider. Trench bottoms for
ducts without concrete encasement should be made to conform accurately to grade so as to provide
uniform support for the duct along its entire length. A layer of fine earth material at least 75mm thick
(loose measurement) should be placed in the bottom of the trench as bedding for the duct. The
bedding material should consist of soft dirt, sand, or other fine fill, and it should contain no particles
larger than 6 mm diameter. The bedding material should be tamped until firm. When two or more
ducts are installed in the same trench without concrete encasement, they should be spaced not less
than 75mm apart (measured from outside wall to outside wall) in a horizontal direction or not less
than 75mm apart in a vertical direction. Rigid steel and heavy wall conduit may be direct earth buried.
All other conduits should be encased.

12.5. Installation of ducts encased in concrete

All ducts installed in concrete encasement should be placed on a layer of concrete not less than 7.5cm
thick. Where two or more ducts are encased in concrete they should be spaced not less than 75mm
(measured from outside wall to outside wall). As the duct laying progresses, concrete not less than
75mm thick should be placed around the sides and top of the duct bank. Flared ends of ducts or
couplings should be installed flush with the concrete encasement or inside walls of manholes or

43
handholds. Interlock spacers should be used at not more than 1.5m spacing to insure uniform spacing
between ducts. Joints in adjacent ducts should be staggered a minimum of 60cm apart and should be
made waterproof prior to concreting. No duct having a defective joint should be installed. Concrete-
encased duct or rigid steel conduit should be installed so that the top of the concrete envelope or
conduit is not less than 40cm below the bottom of the paving where it is installed under roadways,
railroads, runways, taxiways, other paved areas, and ditches and not less than 40cm below the finished
grade elsewhere.

12.6. Ducts and flexible tubing

When doing installation of cable in a duct system, the cables should be grouped. Flexible duct [tubing]
is placed in trench as shown in figure below.

Ducts and Flexible Tubing

12.7 Grounding bushings

Where rigid steel conduit enters or leaves a manhole or handhold a grounding bushing should be
provided for all conduits.

12.8 Arrangement of duct banks

An arrangement of two ducts wide or high should be used for best heat dissipation. Correspondingly,
the duct banks may be several ducts high or wide. (This may be impossible where a large number of
ducts are involved.) The vertical two conduit-wide arrangements enables the cables to be more easily
racked on manhole walls but may not be as economical as the horizontal two conduit-high
arrangement.

12.9 Drainage
All duct lines should be laid so as to slope toward handholds, manholes and duct ends for drainage.
Grades should be at least 2.5mm per meter. Where it is not practicable to maintain the slope all one
way, the duct lines may be sloped from the center in both directions toward manholes, handholds, or
duct ends. Pockets or traps where moisture may accumulate should be avoided.

44
12.10 Pull wire
Each spare duct installed should be provided with a copper-clad steel pull wire of not less than 5mm2
in area. Alternatively, a polypropylene pull rope which will not rot or support mold in the wet
duct/base can/manholes may be used. The open ends of the spare ducts should be plugged with
removable tapered plugs. The plug should secure the pull wire firmly.

12.11 Spare capacity

Sufficient ducts for planned installations, future expansion, plus a minimum of 25 percent of spare
ducts, should be included for all new underground systems.

13. MANHOLES AND HANDHOLDS

13.1. Selection
Factors bearing on the choice of manholes and handholds are number, direction, and location of duct
runs; cable rack arrangements; method of drainage; adequacy of work space (especially if equipment
is to be installed in the manhole); and the size of the opening required to install and remove
equipment.

13.2. Location
Manholes or handholds should be placed where required for connections or splices and where conflict
with other utilities will be avoided. Manhole separation should not exceed 200m on straight runs and
100m on curved duct runs. Spacing should be decreased where necessary to prevent installation
damage during pulling of cables. Strain should be limited during installation to a point that will not
damage cable insulation or deform the cable.

13.3. Hardware
Hardware applicable to the installation should be chosen. Where flared ends of ducts are provided,
cable-duct shields are necessary only for protection of metallic-sheathed cables.

14. INSTALLATION OF UNDERGROUND CABLES

14.1. Preparation of ducts
After the duct installation is completed, the cables are installed by drawing or pulling into the ducts.
The duct should be open, continuous, and clear of debris before the cable is installed. The cable should
be installed in a manner to prevent harmful stretching of the conductor, injury to the insulation, or
damage to the outer protective covering. The ends of all cables should be sealed with moisture-seal
tape before installing, and they should be kept sealed until connections are made. Where more than

45
one cable is to be installed in a duct or conduit, all cable should be installed at the same time. In no
case should a splice or connection be placed in a duct or conduit.

14.2. Method of pulling

The cable to be installed in the duct be pulled by a power winch or by hand. An adequate amount of
cable pulling compound should be used on all pulls. Petroleum grease should not be used. The surface
of any cable sheath or jacket should not be damaged to a depth greater than 1/10th its original
thickness. The cable should not be flattened out of round more than 1/10th its outside diameter. Any
combination of a group of cables to be pulled into a duct should not exceed the sum of individual
allowable tension of each cable plus 15 percent.

Maximum pulling tensions for cables not listed should be obtained from the manufacturer of the
cable.

14.3. Length of pull

To minimize splicing, the longest practicable lengths of cable should be pulled into the ducts at one
time. Unless otherwise required, manholes and handholds should be as far apart as practicable for the
type of cable being installed, but under no condition should the distance between handholds or
manholes exceed 200 meters.

Several cables installed in one duct. The following are applicable to the installation of two or more
cables in the same duct.

 Power cables of the same voltage may be installed in the same duct.
 Power cables of less than 600 volts may be installed in the same duct.
 Power cables of less than 600 volts should not be installed in the same duct with control,
telephone, or coaxial type cables.
 Power cables of more than 600 volts should not be installed in the same duct with control,
telephone, coaxial or power cables of less than 600 volts.
 Control, telephone, and coaxial cables may be installed in the same duct.
 Power, control, and telephone cables may be installed in the same duct system, subject to
provisions of sub-paragraphs g) and h).
 Cable installation in manholes or handholds. Power and control cables should be installed in
separate manholes and handholds unless required otherwise. If space is available, cable slack
sufficient for one splice for each cable should be left in each manhole.
 Separation of cables in manholes and handholds. When it is not possible to install power and
other type cables in separate manholes or hand-holes, they should be installed in separate
compartments or on opposite sides of the manhole or handhold.
 Installation of cables in manholes and handholds

46
14.4. Cable racks
Cables should be carefully formed around the interior of manholes or handholds avoiding sharp bends
or kinks. All splices and cables should be tied to cable racks using 3.2mm diameter nylon line. Handhold
and manhole racks should be the plastic type or provided with porcelain insulators. Splices or
connectors should be a minimum of 0.6m from the mouth of the duct opening into the manhole or
handhold. Where feasible, splices in different cables should be staggered.

14.5. Cable terminations

Termination of all control, telephone, and coaxial cables should be as required. Termination of all
power cables rated above 5000 volts should be made with a stress relief device. Where potheads are
used, strict conformance to manufacturer's recommendations should be followed. Where
terminations are made at transformer bushings, exposed conducting surfaces on both high- and low-
voltage sides should be taped for full voltage and painted with a high insulation water-resistant
coating.

14.6. Cable grounding

The following conditions apply to the grounding of cables.

All shielded power cables should have the shield grounded at each end. The grounding conductor
should be connected to a ground rod by means of a grounding connector specifically designed for this
purpose. The shields or armor on direct earth-buried power cables should be grounded on each end,
but not at the splices.

47

safety and fire prevention work in conjunction with the actual situation of the project management
department, "prevention first, prevent and eliminate integration, prevent problems before they
occur" to ensure that state property is not lost.

 Establish a safety fire prevention organization. Each office must have a special fire prevention
person in charge. Based on the principle of “who is in charge and who is responsible”, the
management is in place and the responsibility is to the people; the fire prevention system
must be on the wall.
 Organize fire prevention publicity and education, popularize fire protection knowledge, and
enable all personnel to reach the "three sessions" and "four energy." (Three sessions: First,
