Date: 08 JUNE 2017
the conduits will have a fall of at least 75 mm per

30 m towards the lower manhole or from the high
point of the section towards the manholes or from
the buildings towards the manholes.
Duct bank runs shall be encased in concrete as
shown on, and reinforced as required by the
Contract Drawings.
Direct burial cables require concrete encased
ducts/duct banks when crossing the
roads. These ducts/duct banks shall extend
beyond the road/road shoulder for a
distance which will ensure that subsequent
digging/trenching to expose the ends of
the ducts would not undermine the integrity of the
road bed or reduce its load
carrying capacity. When the foregoing is not a
factor, these ducts shall extend not
less than 1 m beyond the edge of the road
shoulder.
When crossing other utility lines and facilities, a
minimum of 200 mm separation shall normally be
maintained. If 200 mm separation cannot be met,
ducts shall be underpinned by reinforced concrete
or by other approved methods.
Horizontal separation from other utility lines and
facilities shall not be less than 1 m
Transferring of duct bank load on to other utility
lines shall be avoided.
The top of the concrete envelope of the duct bank
shall be a minimum of 600 mm below grade.
In case of electrical duct bank, the top surface of
concrete envelope shall be painted red.
In case of telecommunication duct bank, a cable
warning tape shall be installed 100 mm above the
concrete envelope.

The depth of the trench shall be sufficient in all

cases to accommodate the height requirements of
duct bank being placed plus the minimum
clearance to other utilities or the minimum cover
required for the installation, while
maintaining the necessary slope for drainage of
ducts to manholes. Minimum
depths shall be as specified on the Contract
Drawings.
The concrete shall meet the strength requirements
as indicated on the Contract Drawings. Concrete
mixture shall have aggregate not exceeding 19 mm
in size.
The concrete envelope shall have steel
reinforcement at all locations where conduits cross
roads, highways, fill or loose soil or water, gas or
sewage main, as shown on the Contract Drawings.
The concrete envelope surrounding the conduits
shall have a minimum thickness of 75 mm on the
top, bottom and sides.
Where reinforced sections of duct bank are
required, the thickness of the concrete envelop
shall be increased to allow an additional 75 mm of
concrete around the reinforcing bar on each side.
All reinforcement shall be placed around the
perimeter of the concrete encasement of the duct
bank. Reinforcement shall not be placed between
ducts, either vertically or horizontally.
Concrete shall be poured with as low a slump as
possible to allow flow of concrete around all the
conduits.
Construction joints shall not occur at a conduit
coupling joint.
During construction of duct bank encasement,
pouring of concrete shall proceed continuously

HMP MSN
Corporation
121217-001

joint becomes necessary, the joint shall be a
prepared joint as shown on the Contract Drawings
and as approved by the Royal Commission.
Unformed cold joint will not be permitted.
Concrete shall not be dropped more than 700 mm
onto the ducts. Forms shall remain in place for at
least 24 hours after casting.
During pouring operation, all open ends of
conduit raceway shall be capped.
Backfill shall not be placed until the concrete has
been allowed sufficient time
to set. Unless specified otherwise, a minimum time
of 7 days shall pass after
pouring of concrete before backfilling.
Material used in backfilling around duct banks
shall be free from stones and
well tamped beneath and adjacent to the sides of
the concrete envelope.
Since the conduit shall be 2” PVC, the width and
height of the conduit shall be 200 mm. top of the
conduit shall be 600mm below the road level.
The duct bank shall be 1m longer than the road
width on the two sides.
Paved surfaces shall only be broken in strict
compliance with the Contract Drawings or the
prior written authority of the Royal Commission.
Broken surface material (asphalt, concrete, etc.)
shall not be used for backfilling but shall be
removed from the site and disposed of as directed
by the Royal Commission.
Asphalt and concrete or tile sidewalks and curbs
shall be restored using new asphalt and concrete
of equal quality or better than the existing and to

existing prior to removal.
CONCRETE FOUNDATIONS
For the concrete foundations, the required
locations are provided by the CP installer.
These locations are marked and the area is
excavated, levelled and compacted. Lean Concrete
shall be poured and finished. Then steel fixing is
done and the shuttering works are done with the
sleeves provided inside.
Structural concrete of 4000 psi is poured . Then de
shuttering is done and kept for curing.
EXCAVATION
For visibly contacting the pipe at 3 locations, a
trench 2m wide by 2m deep shall be excavated by
means of excavator upto 30 cm higher than the
pipe depth, then it is manually excavated and the
access to the trench shall be given by sloped depth
so that personals can get down the trench by foot
rather than ladders. The excavated pit shall be
kept dry by the means of dewatering pump and
well point system so that persons can access the
pipeline. Below mentioned points shall be
incorporated during excavation.
Excavation and backfilling shall be carried out in
accordance with SECTION 02315 and as specified
herein.
The Contractor shall perform all excavation of
every description and of whatever substances
encountered, to the depths indicated on the
Contract Drawings or as otherwise specified.
During excavation, material suitable for backfilling

HMP MSN
Corporation
121217-001
Date: 08 JUNE 2017
shall be piled in an orderly manner at sufficient

distance from the bank of the trench to avoid
overloading and to prevent slides or cave-ins.
All excavated materials not required or suitable
for backfilling shall be removed and wasted as
directed by the Royal Commission.
Grading shall be done, as necessary, to prevent
surface water from flowing into
trenches or other excavations and any water
accumulating therein shall be removed
by pumping or by other approved methods.
Excavation shall be sheeted, braced and shored, as
necessary, to prevent caving-in
or sliding, and to provide protection for existing
structures and facilities and for the
safety of personnel.
Sheeting, bracing and shoring shall be designed
and built to withstand all loads caused by any
earth movement or pressure and shall be rigid,
maintaining shape and position under all
circumstances.
Unless otherwise indicated, excavation shall be by
open cut except that short sections of a trench may
be tunneled if the cables or duct can be safely and
properly installed and backfill can be properly
tamped in such tunnel sections.
Trenches shall be of necessary width for the
proper laying of the duct banks. The bottom of the
trenches shall be accurately graded and shall be
free of loose or disturbed material. During
excavation, all the visible sign boards and warning
signs shall be erected and there shall be a watch
person to observe the people at work in the pit.
