 Any standing scaffolding is safe and suitable for purpose.

 All hand tools are in safe working order and extension leads are not damaged.
 There is adequate temporary lighting.
 Temporary power source is available in the locality and protection settings are
correct.
 Water proofing shall be provided.
 Grid lines and benchmarks have been clearly marked.
 Ensure that all client requirements with respect to HSE are and will be met.
 Ensure that all safety equipment provided is available and in good working order.
 Ensure that all persons carrying out the work is fully aware of the requirements for

 All team members are equipped with PPE.

6.21.8 Transporting and Unloading the MCC Poles

The MCC poles will be checked for any damage prior to transportation from the stores compound
to where it is to be installed. When unpacking the Street Light pole from the crates, care will be
taken to avoid scratching or denting finished surfaces.
On satisfactory completion of the above, the Street light pole be loaded onto or flatbed truck using
the slings, D shackle (2 Nos.) and lifting eyes provided by the Manufacturer and positioned on
wooden battens then securely tied down to avoid any movement of the load during transportation to
the site & the insertion of pipe rollers under the base of the rollers removed accordingly. On arrival
at the location Street Light poles will be off-loaded from the truck by mobile crane using slings and
D shackle (2Nos.) & located through the access aperture into the site on wooden battens.
The loading and unloading of MCC pole shall be done using slings and D shackle with care. Each
section of the MCC pole will be lifted approximately 75mm to facilitate the removal of the wooden
battens. Good care will be taken in all these operations, to avoid scratching or denting of finished
surfaces of the Street light poles.

6.21.9 Installation of MCC poles:

 Assemble poles on ground including fixing of a bracket on top of the pole for
mounting the Lighting fixture.
 The pole will be lifted with a Crane/Hi-up crane by using slings and D shackle
(2Nos.) and bolted on the foundation where the base plate of the pole has to fix on
top of foundation.
 The poles will be erected under the supervision of an experienced
supervisor/Forman that has well versed experience in mounting poles.
 A safe scaffolding access platform will be erected if necessary, for working at high
levels.
 The elevation/Mounting height of the component parts will be checked against
relevant drawings and confirmed correct.
 Measures to be implemented when closing the road to vehicles while installing the
poles.

6.21.10 Procedure for testing verticality of Poles:

 After installation of poles before grouting check the verticality of poles.

 If poles are not vertical, then adjust by levelling the nuts in bottom of poles.

6.21.11 Procedure for Grouting of Poles:

 After verticality of poles is approved by the consultant then advice Main

Contractor Engineer representative for grouting.
 Apply Denso Tape on each bolt of Street Lighting Poles.

6.21.12 Earthing for MCC Poles & Control Cabinet

 Grounding rods made of copper shall be installed in easily accessible concrete pits
(for tiled areas) and in pulling pits or in PVC pipe with a cap in other areas.

6.21.13 Numbering of MCC Poles

 All 10M and 14M light poles shall be numbered as required by the ADM-DOT.
Paint of numbering and the surface preparation for numbering shall meet the

applicable requirements of section on metal works of these standards specifications

unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.

6.21.14 Back filling and Reinstatement

 Prior to backfilling, it is necessary to carry out a visual inspection in the presence

of engineer and items that need to be checked are.
 The cables have suitable bedding such as sieve sand. Stone chips and other sharp
objects in the cable route should be removed.
 Thickness of first and second layer of soft sand to be checked and excavation to be
checked randomly.
 Pulling equipment is carefully removed.
 The cable is free from oblivious damage caused during the installation. A very high
proportion of cable failures in service are due to such damage.
 It is very important that any damage to the over sheath should be taken to notice of
the engineer prior to repair before backfilling is commenced.
 The cable conduit should firstly be surrounded and covered with appropriate
bedding material to give a compacted cover the conduit.
 Trench will be backfilled up to a level as per the approved trench sectional
drawings.
 Trench will be backfilled to the ground level and leveled properly. Subsequent
material may be placed and compacted with mechanical equipment.
