Document Responsibility: Communications Standards Committee SAES-T-928

Issue Date: 20 May 2009


Next Planned Update: 11 April 2014 Telecommunications - OSP Buried Plant

RUS PE-89 Specification for Filled Telephone Cables with


Expanded Insulation
RUS PE-90 Specification for Totally Filled Fiber Optic Cable

4 Definitions

Fixed Separations: Separation requirements established by the National Electrical


Safety Code.

Random Separation: In random Separation, there is no planned separation between


telecommunication facility and other utilities. Contact is permitted between
telecommunication facility and other utilities.

Flush-Type Construction: Flush-type construction involves out of sight installation of


all cables, closures, splices, service wires and loading coil cases.

Directional Drilling Method: Installing conduits for telecommunication systems by


using surface operated drilling device. The device is angled into the ground from the
surface and directed to its destination by remote control. The directional drilling
method is using the HDPE (High Density Poly-Ethylene) pipes and allows for steering
around existing obstacles (utilities in the vicinity of the crossing location) where the
other method only allows straight paths.

5 General Requirements

5.1 Outside Plant (OSP) Designer Reference

The BICSI Outside Plant Design Reference Manual (current version) is hereby
recognized as the referenced detailed design information. Design drawings shall
use conventional symbols as specified in SAES-T-018 Telecommunications –
Symbols, Abbreviations and Definitions and BICSI.

5.2 Outside Plant (OSP) Designer Certification Requirements

All OSP telecommunications system designs by non-Aramco design offices


(such as GES Contractor,LSTK, etc.) must be done under the design authority of
a valid/current BICSI Registered Communications Distribution Design (BICSI
RCDD and/or OSP Specialty) to ensure that a minimum level of competency has
been provided in the telecommunications infrastructure and OSP cable system
design. For external design contractors, the RCDD and/or OSP shall be a direct
employee of that company. All related design drawings must be stamped by the
RCDD and/or OSP specialist before the package can be Issued for Construction
(IFC).
