8. Sequence of the Works-Method Statement For Fiber Optic Cable Installation
a. The following methodology is for cable laying, testing & commissioning.
b. MEP will only commence after receiving clearance from other departments to start the underground installation and cable laying.
8.1. Delivery of Materials, Storage, and Handling-Optical Fiber Cables and Accessories
1. Upon receiving cables, inspect the protective cable covering for evidence of damage during shipment. Report immediately to the carrier if evidence of damage is found.
2. Accomplish unloading without contacting the cable surface or protective wrap. If unloading by crane, use cradle-supporting reel flanges or a shaft through an arbor hole. If using a forklift, lift the reel at 90 degrees to the flanges. Use forms long enough to make complete lifting contact with both reel flanges.
3. If using the inclined ramp for unloading, use a ramp wide enough to contact both reel flanges completely. Accomplish stopping of reels at the bottom by using the reel flanges and not the surface of the cable.
4. Do not drop reels from delivering the vehicle to the ground.
5. Store reels on a firm surface to prevent flanges from sinking into the earth and allow the weight of the reel and cable to rest on the cable surface.
6. Do not store reels in an area where construction equipment, falling or flying objects, or other materials will contact the cable.
7. Store cable where chemicals or petroleum products will not be spilled or sprayed on the cable.
8. Store cable away from open fires or sources of high heat.
9. When a reel of cable is rolled from one point to another, check for and remove objects on the surface that could contact or damage the cable surface or protective wrap. Roll the reel in the direction to prevent the loosening of the cable on the reel.
10. Store cable according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, as a minimum. In addition, store cable in a location protected from vandalism and weather. If the cable is stored outside, it must be covered with opaque plastic or canvas with provisions for ventilation to prevent condensation and protection from the weather. If the air temperature at the cable storage.
11. Deliveries will be Inspected and handled at the site area according to the given instructed requirements.
12. All uPVC, fitting accessories, utility structures, and fiber optic cable drums will be covered and stored above grade in a secure and protected location in order to be protected from climate, dust, and entrance of debris and will be codified for easy traceability.
13. Ensure that the proposed storage area for the materials is cleaned.
14. Separate areas in the storage zone must be marked for different materials.
15. Ensure that the material is stored in a shaded area to protect it from exposure to direct sunlight.
16. Ensure that the lifting equipment is adequately rated for the specked weight (shown on the rating plate) and fit for purpose.
17. Verify that the bracing & supports are provided to prevent damage during transit, lifting, or unloading.
18. All materials received at the site will be inspected with the corresponding inspection request (MIR) issued.
19. Ensure that the materials are as per the approved submittal any discrepancies Damages etc. will be reported for further action.
20. Material found not suitable for the project will be removed from the site immediately.
21. When handling drums, suitable precautions should be taken to avoid damage to the cable and injury to the people. Due regard should be paid to the mass of the drum, the method and direction of rolling, and the method of lifting.
22. It is preferable for ease of handling and safety to move drums by special cable drum trailers and whenever possible the cable should be laid direct from these. In certain cases, it may be possible to lay a cable from a drum trailer whilst it is being towed alongside the trench, thus giving a considerable saving in time and effort.
23. The drum mounting position, if stationary, will be influenced by the following:
Accessibility-Good access to where the cable drum is to be mounted.
Gradient-On sloping ground, cables should be pulled downhill.
Bends-The drum should be mounted at the end of the trench nearest the bends. The force required to pull the cable is near to the drum, and therefore, the side forces and friction on the bends will also be less.
24. Ducts-To minimize the disturbance to ducts and the resulting possibility of damage to the cables, the drum should be at the end of the trench farthest from the ducts.
25. When rolling drums, it should be over short distances only and the drum rotation should always be according to the arrow marked on the drum flange. This will ensure that any slack cable is worked to the outer end. Failure to take this precaution may result in slack cable collecting at the hub of the drum causing damage.
26. Cable drums should be transported with the drum axis horizontal and any drum movement should be avoided.
27. Cable ends should be firmly attached to the drum during transport and storage to prevent damage to the cable.
28. For the loading and unloading of cable drums, suitable lifting and hoisting equipment should be used. A drum should not be dropped.
29. Cable drum jacks should be mounted on a firm-level base. If the ground is uneven, a foundation should be provided by using stout timber solidly packed.
30. Timber packing may also be necessary to prevent the settling of the jacks by spreading the weight if the ground is soft. It may be necessary to locate the drum in the roadway away from the trench and in this case, the drum should then be offset by not more than 30 degrees to the line of the trench. For safety, the drum should not be mounted closer than 1m to trench excavations of normal depth.
8.2. Site Execution
As follows are the procedures for the installation of optical fiber cable:
8.2.1. Survey Works
Surveyor will set out the location as per the approved shop drawing and MEP coordination with all project services and it will be checked by QA/QC Engineer after written approval, the installation process will be started.

c. Adequate illumination must be provided for access routes and walkways.
d. Signs must be displayed to indicate the routes to be taken by persons, and changes in routes must be clearly communicated.
e. All safety measures will be taken care of as per the instruction of the HSE department.
9.3 Pre-installation
Before the commencement of installation, the following are required to be carried out:
a. Drawing for External Underground Fiber Optic Cable will be approved and will be coordinated with other services.
b. Proper access will be provided as per the approved program.
c. Location/area will be ready for site installation.
d. Prior to the installation, the area where the items are to be installed will be inspected.
e. Prior to the installation, check all cabling as per detailed drawings.
f. Mark the device/panels location and leave enough length of cable at both ends for termination.
g. An up-to-date test report will be checked.
h. All inspections (previously conducted) are checked and should be approved by the consultant representative.
9.4. Trench Installation
If dewatering is required for trench preparation, this will be performed:
a. Trench sizes will be made as per the approved IFC drawings and as per the suitable trench size.
b. Inspection by the consultant representative has to be done for each stage.
c. Place approved bedding material to the extent necessary for establishing the correct elevation at all locations where the bottom has been excavated below-indicated grade.
d. Good coordination with the civil team has to be done.
e. The bottom of the cable trench will be covered, to a depth not less than the diameter of the largest cable, with a bedding layer of sand or fine soil.
The following criteria are to be followed as per project specifications:
- Depth of the cable trench will be 950mm for MV cables.
- Depth of the cable trench will be a minimum of 650mm and a maximum of 850mm for LV cables.
- Cable trench will be bedded with 150mm thickness of dune sand.
- Minimum clearance of 300mm from other services.
- Dune sand will not contain stones, shrapnel, and flints also free from other foreign materials.
f. Prior to the installation of sleeve pipes, the trench preparation will be checked for the required elevation, slope, and free from rock, stones, and other deleterious materials. The installation will not be started until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
9.5. Procedure of Conduit/Sleeve Installation
UPVC/PVC Sleeve Installation (EN6) for Road Crossing of Fiber Optic Cables
a. Sleeves will not be filled with cables to more than 60% of their capacity. Nylon drawcords will always be left in sleeves.
b. Before laying of sleeves. The trench bottom is of a smooth and firm contour and is free from any sharp materials or obstructions.
c. The trench should be sand bedded for 150mm. The sleeve separators are used for underground duct installation and will be snaked to avoid tension during backfilling operations and subsequent settlement.
d. Make joints in ducts and fittings watertight according to the manufacturer’s written instructions. Stagger the joints of multiple layers of conduits to not create a weak point in the duct run. Bell mouths are installed at each end of the duct pipe.
e. Install no more than the equivalent of two 90-degree bends between pull points.
f. No protective cap, disc, or other appliance on the end of the pipe or fitting will be removed permanently until the pipe or fitting that it protects is about to be joined. Pipes and things will be examined for damage and the joint surfaces and components will be cleaned.
g. Suitable measures will be taken to prevent soil or other material from entering pipes and to anchor each pipe to prevent flotation or other movements before the works are complete. Before making the joint ensure that both the pipe end and the sealing ring are clean. Lubricate both the pipe ends and the sealing ring in the socket with lubricant.
h. Ensure that the components to be joined (by push-t method) are correctly aligned, and then push the spigot fully into the socket.
9.5.1. Installation of Optical Fiber Cables
a. Pre-installation inspection of optical fiber cable will be carried out as per requirement and recorded.
b. All the cable rollers will be of sufficient size to accommodate the cable without any damage to its outer sheath.
c. The cables will be laid in a sequenced manner.
d. The cable will be left from the bottom of the drum while pulling.
e. The pulling tension does not exceed the safe pulling tension of the allowable force of the cable.
f. Check that the wire pulling sock will be tied to the cable end and the winch rope will be attached to the sockeye if required.
g. Lubricate the cable, if necessary, from the drum end prior to its entry into the trench with the approved pulling compound.
h. After cable pulling is completed and testing has been done, inspection to proceed for cable laying, cable tiles, and backfilling.
i. As per the approved shop drawing, warning tape will be provided 300mm below the ground level along the cable route.
j. Identify the cable route by placing the cable route marker at 30 meters of the interval to the straight run and at points where the route changes direction to the entire route for cables.
k. Proper care will be taken while pulling the cables through sleeves to avoid damage.
l. Connect the strength member of the cable to the pull line. Unless cables are designed for such use, basket grips and similar methods of attachment should not be used.
m. UL-approved lubricant will be used to assist in pulling the bar optic cable (if required).
n. Use a swivel while pulling to prevent the cable from being twisted by rigid attachment to a fish tape. To keep pulling tension within careful limits, do not use power pullers with fiber unless you use a tension meter as well. As a general rule, the tension should not exceed 300 pounds with indoor cables and 600 pounds with outdoor cables. But always check the specifications for the cable to be sure.
o. Use lots of large pull boxes and divide pulls in half or even thirds at corners or pull boxes.
p. A pulling operation must be stopped if pulling tensions reach the cable’s limit.
q. The discontinued pull will have to be aborted, the cable pulled back out and replaced on the reel, and the pull started again using shorter runs, better lubrication, or both the cable may be reused if the pull or extraction has not damaged it.
r. Identify exact terminating locations in advance, keeping in mind that the cable must be pulled all the way to where it will be terminated, not just into the room. This obvious though often overlooked step can lead to costly mistakes if forgotten.
s. Carefully measure the cable’s path before the conduit pulls to avoid the need for splices.
t. Not only do splices cost time and money, but they also cause a loss in both signal qualities and strength. In fact, most designers specify point-to-point or device-to-device runs to avoid needless signal loss from splices.
u. The preferred way to measure is to use pull tape. This product, sometimes called mule tape, is an at the ribbon, consecutively numbered in feet, which is usually made of polyester or aramid yarn and may be coated with plastic for a water prong. It comes in different lengths and pulls strengths.
v. Pull the pull tape into the conduit, or along the cable path, for an initial measurement, and add to that extra length for splices, terminations, and future access coils, if specified.
w. The amount of additional optical fiber cable needed for splicing depends on site conditions, the splicing method used, and long-range plans for cable usage.
For termination length, about 2 to 3 meters of additional cable beyond where the terminal will be mounted.
Add about 10 to 12 meters per span for any access or repair coils. A good rule of thumb to cover all these additional cable lengths are to allow 1 percent extra for outside plant (outdoor) cable runs and 5 to 7 percent extra for inside cable runs.
x. Choose crews based on the length of the pull, total degrees of bend, tail loading (force required to pull cable o feed reel), use of lubricant, and use of power putting equipment. In most cases, two- or three-person crews are ideal. That way, one person pays the cable off the reel and into the duct, while one or two others pull at the other end.
y. Don’t forget to mark the cable with marker tape buried below the surface; this will act as a warning to anyone digging in the area. If you’re using a cable construction not containing metal, use a metal-impregnated marking tape so the cable can be located with appropriate equipment.
z. Aside from the regular work hazards of cuts, bruises, falls, etc., you must consider additional hazards. Check for hazardous gases before anyone enters a manhole. In fact, you might need a separate air supply. You’ll have considerable force on the puller, sheaves, and/or pulleys. And, you may be using pulleys 5 ft. in dia. If one of these is let go, serious injury can result. Your best bet is to use chain or steel cable (chokers) rather than rope to tie pulleys and pull equipment in place. Above all else: Examine each situation carefully before you start work.
aa. Guard the manhole a combination guard and emergency man lift is ideal. If the manhole is in a high-traffic area, you’ll need a warning light. If the cable installation takes more than one day and you leave it idle overnight, protect it during that time.
Identification of Electrical Services
Temporary identification labels and notices will be provided immediately after the installation inspection is approved.
Warning, caution, and instruction notices will be provided temporarily. It will be ensured that all identification labels and notices are installed in a visible position.
