    OUTLINE SPECIFICATIONS

    SECTION 1: THE SCOPE OF WORKS:


    The work shall be carried out in compliance with Electricity and Water
    Authority (EWA) regulations, Building work specifications issued by Ministry
    of Housing, IEE regulations, British standards, and other local statutory
    regulation.
    The work under this division of the specifications, provide all materials and
    equipment and perform all the work necessary for the complete execution of
    all electrical works as shown on the electrical drawings and on the general
    construction drawings, as herein specified and which without excluding the
    generality of the foregoing, shall include but not limited to the following
    principal items of work.
    A.

    Lightning Protection Installation

    B.

    Site coordination: exact location shall be coordinated at site.


    SECTION 2 : BASIC MATERIALS AND METHODS.

    EARTHING
    Earthing shall be provided as per Electricity and Water Authority (EWA)
    regulations of Building columns shall be linked to main earth using 16 mm
    PVC insulated wire (minimum). The combined earth resistance shall not
    exceed One (1) Ohm.
    LIGHTNING PROTECTION
