METHOD OF STATEMENT
1.1 SCOPE
The scope is to cover the installation methods and procedures for Ground floor
conducting.
2.1PURPOSE
TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF INSTALLATION
1.0
0.1
Mark the conduit routing as per site condition and in corporate in the layout
drawing which may help in future to avoid conduit & wiring damages while doing
the core drills (slab drilling) etc
0.2
Wherever the high voltage cables passes / crosses (used for lighting& power in
building) care should be taken to avoid induction effect. However this problem can
be avoided by using screened cables with proper earthing on both the ends (for
VLV Conduiting).
0.3
wherever the conduit is exposed to weather and damp condition it should be of

EMT only
0.4
Ensure that separate conduiting is laid for different wiring circuits
0.5
Ensure that the gauge and size of the conduit is as per the requirement
0.6
Ensure that earth terminals are provided at each conduit box
0.7
Ensure that draw wires are left in all conduit runs for other services not included
in the contract
EMTCONDUIT
1. In all instances where emt conduit is used the accessories like circular box, junction
box, bends, couplers, clips & saddle etc. Should be G.I only.
2. Use always long radius bends instead of short ones.
3. All the bends should be made on a pipe bending machine fitted with formers of the
correct radius for the particular size of conduit.
4. All the threads of the conduit should be according to B.S. Code 4568.
5. All the burs should. Be removed from the cut lengths and surplus screwing oil to be
wiped from the threads prior to fixing the conduit.
6. All the threaded joints should be applied with one coat of zinc enameled Galva paint.
7. Wherever more number of bends and sets occur in multiple runs they should be
arranged symmetrically to present - a uniform and neat ARRANGEMENT. (Refer Sketch
A)
2.0
8. Care should be taken when using male bushes with junction boxes which should not
obstruct the free movement of the wires and cables. (Refer sketch - b).
9. Conduits which are burried in wet areas and floors should be wrapped with one layer
of bituminous tape immediately after installation.
10. Where ever the surface mounted conduit be made good with good quality enamel
or aluminum paint, and all the exposed thread should be applied with one coat of
above paint.
3.0
PVC CONDUIT:
1.The minimum dia of the conduit should be 20 mm.
P a g e | 3 of 12
BI-10-00680
METHOD OF STATEMENT
2.correct size of conduit to be used with draw in boxes (pull boxes ) to allow easy draw
in or out of all the cables (refer table1).
3. All the conduit accessories like boxes fixing should be fully completed prior to
drawing the cables.
4. All the PVC conduit joints should be properly joined and sealed with approved solvent
cement as per manufacturers recommendations.
5. Where conduit and conduit fittings are cast in structure of building care should be
taken to ensure that the boxes and conduit are plugged) sealed with thermo Cole
material to prevent tile ingress of moisture or building material which may block the
way to pass the cables.
6. Wherever possible as soon as the de-shuttering takes place, the conduits etc. Should
be swabbed out and any defects found to be rectified and re-plugged to make ready for
wiring.
7. Wherever conduits are run in screeds every effort should be made to avoid conduit
crossing, where this is unavoidable they should cross at point locations.
8. Where conduit and conduit fittings are cast in structure of the building, like slabs,
walls, floors, etc. The conduit and conduit accessories should be held or tied firmly, but
without deformation in an approved manner so that they are absolutely rigid while the
concrete is poured and or vibrated.
9. Conduit runs on finished walls etc should be install vertically, above or below the
equipment. If it is necessary to run on horizontal run, it should be run at high level only,
(i.e. above the false ceiling).
10. All the conduits should be run in square and symmetrical lines, and it should be
planned very carefully before installation commences.
11. Where number of conduits converge, large adaptable boxes should be utilized in
order to avoid cross over. (Refer enclosed sketch - c).
12. If the conduit passes through the wall opening of an ac room to the other side of
the building the opening should be sealed either with foam or with a suitable sealing
material in order to avoid condensate moisture.
13. Wherever conduit passes through expansion joints of concrete structure, expansion
couplers should be provided. (Refer enclosed sketch - d)
14. Draw in boxes ( pull boxes ) should be provided at every straight conduit runs at 9
meters or containing two right angle bends at 7 . 5 meters centre.
15. Wherever the conduit runs through the wiring points suitable sliding joints should
be made on each conduit box position. (Refer enclosed sketch - e)
4.0
5.0
16. All the conduit chased into walls should be recessed sufficiently to permit a
minimum thickness of 6m1.4 of plaster. Or other finishes to be obtained over the
conduit.
17. No pull boxes or junction boxes should be installed in areas where access is not
possible.
18. When a concealed conduit in the wall is to be connected to. A light fitting an
additional surface junction box as shown in sketch-F is to be installed with surface
conduiting and a ceiling rose which is linked with the light fitting by means of flexible
cable.
19. Conduit should be saddled to the structure of the building with in 150 mm of each
box!

20. Conduit should be run at least 150 mm clear of plumbing and mechanical services.
21. Flexible conduit should be used for the final of the rigid conduit to the terminal
boxes of the equipment fitted with means of drive adjustment or where vibration is
likely
to
occur.
22. Identification of condiuiting to be made to different services like lighting power, low

RESPONSIBILITIES
6.1
The Surveyor is responsible to provide the line and grade for the layout of
conduits and its utilities as indicated in the approved shop drawing as well
as the contract drawings mentioned in the above scope. Drawings or
sketches showing survey data or notes such as coordinates of existing
Duct Bank tapping points and routing as well as ground level & finish
6.2
LAYING DOWN CONDUITS AND ASSEMBLING REBARS starts

after preparing the trench. Trench has to be inspected to be free
from protrusions and rock, and also the existing conduits shall
undergo mandrel testing to ensure its clear from any debris or
anything that will affect the cable and its pulling. After all has been
prepared and inspected, the rebar will be laid down in parallel to the
laying down of conduits and pulling ropes shall be installed and
again mandrel testing will be conducted prior to concreting.
6.3
CONCRETING will be done after all has been inspected and the
shop drawing details has been complied.
6.4
6.5
BACKFILLING will commence once concrete curing is completed

and all peripherals will be installed as per approved shop drawing
i.e. warning tapes, surface markers.
