PART – II TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION OF WORKS:
LAYING OF SIGNALLING CABLES:
While laying the underground Signalling cables, the following instructions will be followed rigidly:
a) The trench has to be dug generally straight and parallel to the railway track. For this, a rope
should be stretched straight and marking should be done by the lime powder. After that only,
digging of the trench shall be started. When it is required to dig perpendicular to the track or
at an angle to the track it should be generally straight in that alignment. Location of this cable
route for point/track circuits/gate location/signals etc. within the station section/block section
will be given by the engineer-in charge and cable laying has to be done within these marks,
Necessary instructions will be issued by the Engineer-in-charge of the work as and when
necessary in this regard. Whenever considered necessary the contractor will also seek
instructions from the engineer-in-charge. The digging of trench under the track shall be
started by the contractor only after the requisite amount of cables are available and the
alignment of the route (for cables) under the track has been approved by the engineer-in-
charge and advised so to the contractor.
b) The main cable trench should be as per size as mentioned in tender schedule within the station
yard except on platforms, level crossings, track crossings and for tail cables and the cable
trench outside the station yard, where it will be 120 cm deep and 30 cm wide or as per size as
mentioned in tender schedule . If the depth of cable trench cannot be maintained due to some
technical problems the pro-rata payment shall be made to the contractor. The issue shall be
decided by the site Engineer jointly with contractor.
c) In the station section or in block section the cable trenching and cable laying shall be done as
per the direction of engineer -in-charge.
(i) Where only signal / power cable is to be laid: -
[87]
Where only one type of cable either signal or power cable is to be laid the trench shall be 30
Cm wide and the cable is laid as per the instruction mentioned in Para
The bricks used shall be 9 bricks per running meter of the cable trench.
(ii) Where large number of power and signal cable both are to be laid: -
Where power cable is laid along with signal cables the partition is required between these
cables for safe and proper working of signaling circuits, so the trench shall be 35 cm. wide
and before laying the cable, bricks are laid in the trench in such a manner to produce a
partition of height 7.0 cm and 11.4 cm width between signal and power cable. After the bricks
are laid for partition the cable laying work is started carefully so that the partition does not
break.
After the cable laying is done , 'U' Clamp should be fitted at an interval of 5 meters before the
soft soil of about 5 cm height is filled in the trench to cover the cable and then the bricks as
shown in the drawing (one side straight and other side breadth wise) is laid in the trench.
Afterward the cable trench is filled with soft soil and rammed after providing cable markers.
The earth level after filling the trench should be about 20 cm. above the original ground level
over the trench.
d) The work of trenching under the tracks shall be done only under the personal supervision of
engineer-in-charge who will take necessary precautions in regard to safety of train running.
The trenching route shall be so decided that it does not interfere with passenger safety. The
trench must not be put in open condition for a long time.
e) The contractor shall stack 2nd class bricks, well baked, at site of work in the quantity as
mentioned in the schedule or as the case may be. Total number of bricks shall be inspected
and passed by the site engineer, it shall be recorded in the material passing register at site and
also a certificate will be issued by him to this effect, to the contractor. No broken brick shall
be passed by the site engineer. After laying the cable, the contractor shall arrange the safe
transport of bricks for use in cable trench and no broken bricks shall be used for laying.
f) The contractor will be responsible for loading, transporting of cables and its safe unloading at
the site of work. Before taking over the cable, Contractor should test the cable and get himself
satisfied that there is no defect in the cable. Any damage to the cable during laying etc.
subsequently shall entirely be the responsibility of the contractor can realize the cost of
damaged cables.
The cable in the drum shall be conducted insulation testing before bringing it at site and only
good cables shall be brought at site and test report should be given to Site engineer before
laying. The laying is to be done by the contractor on the direction of the engineer-in-charge at
site. For the safety of cable, the drum should be kept on two ends on jack, with a shaft
threaded in the cable drum and the cable should be released by rolling the drums, so that there
is no twist in the cable. This aspect must be ensured by the contractor. While pulling the
cable, it should be supported by adequate number of staff at an interval of minimum 10
meters, so that the cable do not get scratched/ damaged while pulling. The cable/ cables shall
be laid on the soft ground at the bottom of the trench. After laying the cable/cables in the
trench these should be first anchoring the cable with :U: clamp at an interval of 5 meters then
covered with soft soil for about 50mm .Thereafter it should be covered with 2 nd class bricks
[88]
breath-wise, 9 bricks per running meter approximately as protective covering except where
pipes are provided.
Thereafter the trench should be filled up with earth and rammed after providing cable markers
to be supplied by the Railway at an interval of not more than 150 meters and at places where
cable run changes direction along the cable route as per direction of the engineer-in-charge.
The earth level after filling the trench should be about 20 cms above the original ground level
over the trench.
g) Circular pits of suitable sizes will have to be dug near each location box/ apparatus
case/signal/points machine/track lead in. Box in route as per direction of Engineer-in charge
for provision of extra cable coils approximately 4 to 5 meter length for each cable to facilitate
termination, at no extra cost. The pits are also to be filled up to the ground level after the
cable coils are properly placed in the pit.
h) Cable laying should commence only after the trench has been approved by the Engineer-in-
charge. The laying of cable/cables should be started by the contractor under proper direction
and supervision of engineer-in-charge as indicated in Para (a) to (g) above. While laying the
cable proper care should be taken to ensure that no twists/kinks/damages of any type are
caused in the cable so that its life is not reduced in the long run, for this, while laying the
cable, the drum should be mounted on proper jacks.
i) The work of digging of trench, laying of cables and filling of trench etc., once started should
proceed continuously in full tempo and not left incomplete. After completion of the work the
railway engineer-in-charge should certify that the cable laying and trench filling is over and

arrangements for such pipe shall be provided by the contractor at his cost. Both ends of pipe
when laid on bridges/culverts & along through poles shall be supported by masonry work/
clamping with M.S. flat using nuts & bolts at contractor‟s cost. The surface of platform / level
crossing dug for cable trench shall be repaired by the contractor at his cost.
k) Cable shall not be normally taken over the track at the time of cable laying by the contractor,
as this is likely to cause accident to trains and damage to cable. If at any time, the cable has to
be taken across the track, it shall be done only in the presence of the Engineer‟s representative
and after the safety precautions have been taken.
l) The testing of cables for the insulation resistance between conductor to conductor and
individual conductor to earth, and continuity test of each core of the cable must be carried out
before and after the laying of the cable in the trench. All parameters measured must be
recorded in tabular form by the contractor. The sample of the tabular form will be supplied by
Engineer-in-charge and signed jointly by the railway engineer-in-charge and the
contractor/contractor‟s representative at site and submitted to Engineer – in- charge of the

2.6 FINALISATION OF CABLE ROUTE PLAN.
The following are the guidelines for finalizing the route and preparation of the cable route
plan:-
2.6.1 Prepare the “5 Km. charts” as explained above showing the relevant chainages and details in
the “5 Km. charts”.
[111]
2.6.2 Actual measurement by 30M steel tape or chain along the route is necessary only in case of
important locations to be terms as “special terrains” for example, approach to repeater
station/Cable hut, long bridges, big yards, sharp diversions in the cable route from its parallel
course along the main railways track due to obstruction, cutting etc.
2.6.3 Inspect and decide the portions of route falling in category of “special terrains” i.e. where
actual longitudinal measurement is necessary.
2.6.4 The remaining portions of the route i.e. other than the portion decided as “special terrain” are
to be terms as “straight runs”. Actual chaining along the route is not necessary for such
„straight runs‟ and these can be marked on the „5 Km. charts‟.
2.6.5 For the „straight runs‟ on the cable route an allowance of 3.5 % of the drum length should be
made for the contours, joining etc. and each drum length should be considered to cover a
route of 0.965 x cable drum length.
The cable route should be started from a repeater cable hut station. Actual measurement along
the route should be done by means of a 30M steel tape for a few drum lengths up to a
convenient point along the main line where from the distance along the route may be
reckoned from the Plan. A termination allowance of 5M cable inside the repeater station/cable
hut building should be made, in addition to a length of about 10M being kept in a pit just put
side the building.
2.6.6 It should be ensured that both “special terrains” should consist of full drum lengths, so that
the position of joints (other than „T‟ joints) is fixed without difficulty in both cases.
2.6.7 Actual measurements of the separation distance from the center line of the reference should
be made where necessary. In case of special terrains, the separation distance at some points on
the route may also have to be reckoned from some other permanent structures depending
upon the site conditions.
2.6.8 The separation distance of the cable route from the nearest track on the “straight runs “ should
be 10M. The deviating from this standard separation of 10M should be kept to the minimum
and as soon as any obstruction has been negotiated, the route should again follow this
standard separation distance. It is desirable from the point of view of calculating the induced
voltage that the uniformity of the separation is maintained for the maximum possible length
of the main cable route.
2.6.9 Separation distance should be marked on the “straight runs” portion of the cable route plan (5
Km. chart) at intervals of not more than 250 M. In addition, the separation distance at points
of change in the cable route such as diversions, track crossings, approaches to bridges,
culverts, etc. should invariably be marked on the cable route plan in such a way as the
intended cable route is clearly defined for “special terrain” the separation distance should be
marked at as close intervals as is considered necessary depending on the site conditions.
2.6.10 The route should be decided by walking along the track. On long stretches “straight runs” a
push trolley moving slowly may be used. The trolley should be on the track closes to the
proposed route.
[112]
2.6.11 Actual measurement should be made for the protective works required for the cable passing
over the culverts, under tracks, over long girder bridges, level crossings, rocky areas, under
the bed of culverts.
2.6.12 Once the cables are laid the actual length of cable as per the printed marking on the cable is
required to be indicated at every kilometer of cable route, at diversions, crossings, approaches
of bridges and joints for quad cables.
2.7 FINALISATION OF TAPPING DIAGRAM
2.7.1 The survey team should visit each location such as cabin, SM,s offices, Loco sheds, cabins,
gate lodges, etc. and verify the details collected during the preliminary survey of all the
existing telecommunication facilities, and additional telecommunication facilities to be
provided.
2.7.2 The position of each tapping should thus be finalized and a final tapping diagram prepared.
2.8 ISOLATED TELEPHONE CIRCUITS
It is necessary that all the telephone circuits such as isolated quarry sites, gate lodges, etc. are
taken note of and provision made for telephone communication through quad cable wherever
considered necessary.
2.9 LENGTH OF 6 QUAD CABLE
The cable length is worked out on following basis to arrive at the locations of the straight joints:-
a) Route length as per actual measurement plus contour allowances of 2.5%.
b) Extra length for track crossing including 2.5M loop on each side etc.
c) Extra length on approach/crossing of the bridges and culverts as per measurement in the
detailed survey.
d) 10M of cable to be kept on either side of major steel bridges and 5M on minor bridges.
e) At every joint a loop of 10M on either side.
f) In cable hut a loop of 10M in the cable pit.
2.10 PREPARATION OF JOINT SCHEDULES
The details of type and number of joints in main 6 quad cable is required to be worked out
based upon the, obligatory locations, LC gates etc. The typical drum lengths of 6 quad
telephone cable is 1 Km. and therefore, it shall generally be possible to combine straight
through joints.
2.10.1 No isolation transformer is considered necessary for LC gate & other location telephones up
to a distance 7.5 Km. on 6 quad telephone cables.
2.10.2 The jointing schedule shall be made as straight-line diagram indicating the locations of
various joints with reference to chainages. The length of 6 quad cable from leading cable hut
/ASM‟s office shall be specifically indicating taking into account the factory printed markings
on the cables.
[113]
2.10.3 The requirement of termination boxes for cables at various locations shall be worked out.
2.11 CABLE MARKER

The cable markers shall normally be provide at the distance of every 100 M on the cable route
and also at places or corner wherever the route of the cable changes. The joint indicators shall
be provided at all types joints. The cable maker and joint markers provided shall be as per

conditions.
2.12 LAYING OF DERIVATION CABLE
The derivation cable is required to be laid from cable hut to the subscriber premises (ASM,
Cabin Depots, Residence, LC gates etc.) and from main cable trench to emergency post for
extending control and other tapings. The plan & requirement of PIJF/ derivation cables shall
be suitably worked out and got approved from the Engineer well in advance.
As far as possible derivation/ PIJF cables shall be laid in the trenches/ protective works
already done for 6 quad cable. From the diversion point, cables shall have to be laid on
independent trenches. For taking out different tapings on route, the cable may be tapped at
different locations. However, it must be ensured that every tapping is taken on independent
conductors right from cable hut to the subscriber for case of isolation in case of
malfunctioning.
Required protective works shall be implemented for protecting these cables.
