5. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

5.1 SITE SURVEY AND PREPARATION

Before the actual commencement of installation of the installation works, the

following survey and preparation works are carried out:

 Proper access road and spaces is required for our installation works.

 For the installation works listed below, confirm and approved construction
drawings are the prerequisite for our installation works.

 For the installation of panels and DBs, certain architecture & structural
completion is required. For example, structural inspection clearance,
architecture defect clearance, completion of painting works & etc. this is to
reduce the possibility of the damage to panels.

 For the installation of luminaries at high level, completion of roof is required

and the structural inspection clearance is required to ensure the structural is
safe to complete with the installation.

 For the installation of conduit & trunking works, the requirement is the opening
reserved for the penetration. For the concealed items, brick wall is required to
be completed and confirm safe to proceed with cutting and hacking the glove
line.

 Trenches (If have) & area required by cable routing should be clear from any
debris, watering, construction waste and any obstruction. For the cable
installed underground, others services which will be installed around that
particular area need to be completed in order to avoid the damage to the
cable. For the cable installed within the cable supporting system, protection on
this cable will be required by whoever is working around the corner, for
example, protect the cable will plywood or canvas will doing welding or cutting
job on top of it.

 A requirement for the cable termination is the installation completion of the

Main Switchboards, DBs, SBs etc.

 Requirements for the installation of MCT will be the completion of cable laying
works.

 For the sealing up of wall & floor penetration for cable support, complete
installation of tray / ladder is required.
