Galvanized spray
Cutting Machine
Crane (while it will be used transportation)

6.3.

Transport, Storage

Transportation of cable trays is made when the site is ready. Crane will be used and all necessary
precaution matures will be taken. Providing pickup to transportation of cable trays and
accessories from lay down area to the field. Transportation pickup or crane carriage bag will
have 4m length space, cable trays length is 3m. Use crane and pickup for lifting and carrying
cable trays and accessories. Cable trays stay suitable place, so it prevents to work and workers
work safely.

6.4.

Preparing Element Prior to Installation

6.3.1. Elements Cutting and Welding

Cable Trays comply with the project requirements. Where cutting of the trays is needed, circular
saws will be used. Cable tray cut edges will be rasped or if welding is necessary, galvanized
points will be cleaned then it will be sprayed with galvanizing spray immediately. Spay MSDS
will be ready available at the working place. Protective measures will be taken in accordance
with the MSDS.

6.5.

Installation

Installation will be carried out in accordance with the last approved revision of the installation
projects. Request form for materials will be prepared. Cable trays will be transported from lay
down area to site with pickup. Workers will load the cable trays to the pick manually. Cable trays
will be fixed safely in the pickup board. At the working area, the trays will be placed in a way
that will not prevent safe access and egress. Wooden pallets/supports will be placed to prevent
contact with earth and water. Check will be done for the accessories of cable trays and
preparation of cable accessories for montage, boxes will be opened. The assembly drawings will
be checked on the place of installation. Where welding is required it will be performed by

competent personnel. Tower, fixed and movable type scaffold, which is approved and build
according to safety requirements, will be used as access to works at high. The personnel that will
erect the scaffolding will be competent. Scaffold will be tagged, ladder will be color-coded.
Where work in confined space will be carried out Permit-to-Work will be obtained.
Supports will be fixed with wall plugs to the existing structure. The distance between two
supports will be max 1,5meter. Then the console will be installed to the supports and then cable
trays will be fixed on the console with bolts and joints. Installation of cable trays will be
executed according to the requirements. According to the projects, grounding will be made after
cable trays erection will be done (440-00-BAW-EIP-ROD-001_ Rev1 Earthing and lightning
protection technical specification). After the works is done daily, working areas will be cleaned.
(440-10-BGZ-EDC-EMD-001_1-Rev01 cable trays installation)
