The conductors shall be kept clean and shall not be allowed to contact the ground,
Page 125 of 150
guard structures or any object which in the opinion of the Project Manager may cause abrasion or damage to the conductors. The Contractor shall
continuously inspect the conductor as it leaves the reel. If nicks or scratches are detected, the stringing operation shall be stopped until the blemish is smoothed with fine sandpaper or emery paper. If any broken aluminum
strands are found, splice rods shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturers recommendation. If more than three broken aluminum strands are found within any 300m section of cable, the cable section containing the broken strands will be cut out and a full tension splice installed. Any damaged wire, resulting from the Contractors negligence, shall be repaired or replaced at his expense. The conductors shall be pulled over suitable rollers or
stringing blocks properly mounted on the pole or crossarm if necessary to prevent binding while stringing. g) Conductors shall be sagged in accordance with the conductor manufacturer's recommendations. All conductors shall be sagged evenly. The air temperature at the time and place of sagging shall be determined by a certified thermometer. The sag of all conductors after stringing shall be in accordance with the employers representative instructions. During stringing, conductor sag should be at least 20% above the values indicated in the sagging charts. Conductors shall hang in the Stringing blocks not less than two (2) hours nor more than 48 hours before it is brought up to final sag. h) The shield wire shall be sagged in accordance with the stringing data for each shield wire. Stringing sag and tension data for expected conditions will be approved by the Project Manager. No minus tolerances from the sag data will be allowed and the plus tolerance shall be two percent of the stringing sag, but not to exceed 10cm. Tension tolerances shall be within those values for
tension calculated and shown on the data sheets supplied that correspond to the respective sag tolerances for the condition of concern. i) The Contractor shall submit to the Project Manager for review, prior to the starting of his stringing operations, the procedure to be followed in stringing, sagging, and clipping-in of the shield wires. This procedure will be such that
Page 126 of 150
the shield wires shall hang in the Stringing blocks a minimum of 24 hours before bringing up to final sag. After the 24 hour period has elapsed, the shield wires shall be brought up to sag and clipped in within four (4) days. Wires remaining in the blocks for more than 4 days shall be subject to inspection and possible replacement at the Contractors expense if distortion of the conductor, at the discretion of the Project Manager, has occurred. j) The method and procedures used to string low tension spans or slack spans to substation structures shall be such that the conductor is not permitted to contact the ground or any object which may cause damage or otherwise adversely affect the conductor. The method selected by the Contractor is subject to the review and approval of the Project Manager prior to beginning installation. k) When stringing and sagging from angle structures, the Contractor shall develop procedures that will compensate for structure deflections. All angle poles and dead-end structures shall be plumbed straight or properly raked, as specified in the applicable structure erection specification, after all shield wires have been brought up to their proper sag-tension position and before clipping in or dead-ending the shield wires. Swingout type angle structures shall be clipped-in before at least the adjacent structures are clipped-in. l) Conductors shall be spliced and dead-ended. There shall be not more than one splice per conductor in any span and splices shall be located at least 3.5m from the conductor support. Splices shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and recommendations. All conductors shall be cleaned thoroughly by wirebrushing before splicing or installing connectors or clamps. A suitable inhibitor shall be used before splicing or applying connectors over aluminum conductor. m) No splices will be permitted in spans over main lines of roads, or over communication lines. In other spans, only one splice per span will be
permitted on each wire, and this splice shall not be located closer than 15m to any structure. Splices shall not be pulled through stringing sheaves or sagging blocks.
