METHOD STATEMENT:
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL CONDUIT

1. Scope of Works

Scope of Activities

Some Electrical conduits shall be installed concealed/cast-in or surfaced-run in the

concrete slab/wall according to the construction co-ordination drawings. For those cast-in or
concealed conduit we have to ensure that we need to install it before the concrete cast-in so
that conduit can penetrate by the M&E consultant.

Site Procedure

i. Site mobilization shall be done with real time monitoring the conditions & progress of
builder works.
ii. Before commencement of the work, carry out examination of the physical condition
of the area.
iii. Photographs should be taken where necessary, prior to commencement and during
works.

INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL CONDUIT

Method Statement

- Preparation Stage
a. Selection and sample submission of material as per specification by consultant and
JKR specification (CKE.LS.01.01.(02).2011).

b. Identifying installation method whether concealed / cast-in or surfaced-run as per

given specification.

c. For concealed or cast-in conduits must be complete with proper fittings and
accessories for either PVC or G.I. conduits.

d. For surfaced-run conduits, most widely used is G.I. conduits complete with fittings
and accessories.

e. Accessories used for the support of conduit both G.I. or PVC varies with method of
support. The most common being the conduit saddles. The spacing between
supports must comply with specifications by engineers, foreman and sub-contractor.

f. Co-ordination with main contractor on the proposed routing by Engineer/Supervisor.

g. Preparation of detail shop drawings for the proposed mounting method including
support system by Engineer.

h. Conduit samples of the correct class must be subscripted for approval by consultant
prior to purchase of Engineer.
