7 Project Background
7.1 About the BharatNet Scheme
BharatNet (National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN)) is a project initiated in 2011 to provide
broadband connectivity to over 2.5 lakh (2, 50,000) Gram panchayat across India. The project intends
to provide internet access using existing optical fibre and extending it to the Gram Panchayats and to
enable the Govt. of India to provide e-service and e-applications nationally. A special purpose vehicle
Bharat Broadband Network Limited (BBNL) was created as a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) for the
execution of the project. The project will be funded by the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF).
Over the decades the Govt. of India has taken various steps to provide connectivity at national and
state level. Some of the key initiatives of the Govt. include State Wide Area Network (SWAN),
National Knowledge Network (NKN) and National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN). Presently SWAN
connects State Headquarter (SHQ) with District Headquarter (DHQ) and DHQ to Block Headquarter
(BHQ) with a minimum bandwidth capacity of 2Mbps per link for Govt. offices and institutions. NKN
inter-connect knowledge institutions across the country through high speed data communication
network.
In the state of Jharkhand, BharatNet project intends to provide connectivity to 4423 Gram
Panchayats (GPs) by using existing fibre of Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs). Power Grid
Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) is implementing this project on behalf of BBNL in Jharkhand and
laying incremental fibre to bridge the connectivity gap up to the GPs. In Phase I (seven districts
comprising Bokaro, Deoghar, Hazaribagh, Koderma, Ramgarh, Sahebganj, Ranchi) encompassing of
1417 GPs have been covered. Also BBNL will be covering six districts (Dhanbad, East Singhbhum,
Giridih, Palamu, Latehar, and Lohardagga) in Phase I+ by laying incremental fibre.
Under Phase II, JCNL will be laying fresh fibre from Block to GP and from GP to Govt. Institution in the
remaining 11 districts, (Dumka, Jamtara, Godda, Garwah, Chatra, Khunti, West Singhbhum, Saraikela,
Gumla, Simdega and Pakur). The fibre will be laid primarily on underground. Power distribution lines
may be laid in those cases where it is not feasible to lay underground cable.
State of Jharkhand is planning to provide connectivity to 3 government offices also called as
Horizontal Offices (HO) at each GP. State has undertaken a detailed planning to estimate the cost for
connecting 3 government offices in 2714 GPs (which are under the purview of BharatNet Phase-I and
Phase-I+ 13 districts). If the SLA or uptime as defined by BBNL is not met then this project may be
extended for other sites of Phase-I and Phase-I+ and further to Phase-II of BharatNet project on same
rates. However, State has decided to implement the project in two modes 1st will be the pilot mode
where one block per district shall be consider from Phase-I, Phase-I+. In pilot mode, State will be
considering 311 GPs; 933 HOs for providing horizontal connectivity.
7.2 About Horizontal Connectivity Project
Presently, due to lack of proper internet connectivity/ JharNet connectivity projects like
telemedicine/ e-education are not being rolled out in rural areas. Hence, in-line with the overall
objectives of Digital India initiative, the end goal is to provide enhanced services to Govt. institutions
at GP level using internet.
This DRAFT RFP is mainly to extend Internet/Jharnet Connectivity from GP to respective Govt
Institutions like Schools, Health Centers, Aagnawadi, Police Stations etc using Bharatnet connectivity
at GP level. Presently Phase I of Bharatnet is under completion and more than 700 GP is ready with
Connectivity and very soon all the GP will be connected with Block. Internet/Jharnet will be
connected to this network at Block level. Through this DRAFT RFP State is implementing is
considering one block per district from Phase-I and Phase-I+ and rest will be consider after
implementation of pilot mode. In pilot mode, State will be considering 311 GPs; 933 HOs for
providing horizontal connectivity.
Page | 14
This project will provide high quality and cost-effective video, voice and data content and services, in
the areas of e-governance, education, health, telemedicine, entertainment as well as other private
services in different Govt. establishments in rural area.
The scope of work shall comprise of due diligence, supply of fibre including all the accessories, laying
of underground optical fibre cable (Primarily) and live line installation and commissioning of optical
fibre cable on the existing power distribution poles (where underground is not feasible). This will be
decided on case to case basis and at the time of work order. However, this number of connections
may be increased or decreased in GP based on requirement.
This DRAFT RFP is mainly focusing on the horizontal connectivity of connecting the GPs and Blocks in
Phase I and Phase I+, i.e., 933 horizontal offices in 13 districts. The mentioned number of sites is
indicative and may vary up to +/- 25% depending on the readiness of the sites.
However JCNL may use the same successful Bidder(s) on the same approved rate to execute the work
of horizontal connectivity in other districts of Phase I+ and Phase II as per need and urgency of the
state.
Apart from this same successful bidder(s) may be used for connectivity of other Govt offices as per
urgency and need.
7.3 Current Architecture at Block/ GP level
At present, 7 districts of Phase I, connectivity has been laid till the GP level using the existing fibre of
BSNL. Also, for connecting the Block HQs with the GPs, wherever there was a requirement for an
incremental fibre to be laid, PGCIL laid down the requisite incremental fibre. At present, GPON
technology has been deployed where the Block exchange houses the OLT. From the exchange the
fibre is routed to the appropriate GP level where the PON splitter is used for terminating the
connectivity into an ONT.
At 68 GPs/PoPs Bhawan, 1:8 PON splitter has been installed at the GP/ PoP. This would have 7
unused ports which would be sufficient for connecting the Govt. institutions under horizontal
connectivity.
In approximately 926 GPs/PoPs, 1:4 PON splitter has been installed at GP/PoP Bhawan, out of which
1 port is utilized for the GP level ONT. This leaves 3 ports unused which can be used to connect to the
GP level Govt. institutions with or without splitters depending on distance and link loss budgets. If
required, a switch may be used at PoP/GP to extend connections to Govt. Institutions.
In approximately, 423 GPs/PoPs, there is no PON splitter installed at the GP/ PoP. Hence, for these
locations a switch may be used for providing connectivity to the Govt. institutions under horizontal
connectivity.
In phase I+ Connectivity and architecture will be more or less same as Phase I and incremental fibre
will be laid. Availability of splitter and ONT and its port only be decided after completion of Phase I+
work.
In phase II fresh fibre is being laid from Block hence sufficient number of splitter ports will be
available for extending connectivity to Govt Institutions.
The diagram below, depicts at a high level the Block to GP connectivity and possible scenarios for GP/
PoP to Govt. Institutions;

maintain the same for the period of Five years. This DRAFT RFP is mainly to extend Internet/Jharnet
Connectivity from GP to respective Govt Institutions like Schools, Health Centers, Aagnawadi, Police
Stations etc using Bharatnet connectivity at GP level. Presently Phase I of Bharatnet is under
completion and more than 700 GP is ready with Connectivity and very soon all the GP will be
connected with Block. Internet/Jharnet will be connected to this network at Block level. Bharatnet
connectivity from The tentative number of the Govt. institutions in the respective GPs of the
aforementioned 13 districts (Phase I and Phase-I+) will be around 933. These locations will be
connected to GPs and it will be integrated in the BharatNet (NoFN) network.
Connectivity from GP to Govt Institutions will be provided Overhead OFC laying/ Underground OFC
laying. The respective Govt. establishments from GP shall be connected using Optical fibre via
underground fibre laying. Tentative BoQ along with break up shall be provided in the DRAFT RFP,
however it may differ at the time of execution. This will be decided on case to case basis and at the
time of work order. However, this number of connections may be increased or decreased in GP
based on requirement.
This DRAFT RFP is mainly focusing on the horizontal connectivity of connecting the GPs and Blocks in
Phase I and Phase I+, i.e., 933 horizontal offices in 13 districts (Considering one block per district). If
the SLA or uptime as defined by BBNL is not met then this project may be extended for other sites of
Phase-I and Phase-I+ and further to Phase-II of BharatNet project on same rates. The mentioned
number of sites is indicative and may vary up to +/- 25% depending on the readiness of the sites.
However, JCNL may use the same successful Bidder on the same approved rate to execute the work
of horizontal connectivity in other districts of Phase I+ and Phase II as per need and urgency of the

After digging, the trenches have to be made clear of boulders and other materials and a
smooth bed is to be made available for laying cables.
• Due to obstructions, if the standard depth cannot be achieved, lower depth up to

certain limits are acceptable by the authorities as prescribed below with extra
protection as per specifications (Annexure XVIII). The relaxation by the competent authority
prescribed below shall be obtained giving reasons for not achieving standard depth

Technical Understanding of the Project:

The GP’s will be the hub location for the termination of the offices in and around GP like Police
station, Market, School, Hospital, Govt office etc.
There are three scenarios which have been described in the tender. The first scenario is that the Splitters
will be placed in the GP building which will terminate all the Govtinstitutionslike Police station, Health
care, School, Bank as well as the GP local LAN. The OLT is placed in the block exchange which will
terminate the splitter’s through FDMS. In the same way the OLT will have multiple connectivity to the
GP’s.

31.4 Safety Precautions
31.4.1 Safety Precautions when excavating or working in excavations close to electric cables
JCNL should get full information from Electric undertaking regarding any electric cables, which are
known or suspected to exist near the proposed excavation and unless this is done, excavation should
not be carried out in the section concerned. The electricity undertaking should be asked to send a
representative and work should be preceded with close consultation with them.
Only handled hand tools should be used until the electric cables have been completely exposed.
Poser cables, not laid in conduits, are usually protected from above by a cover slab of concrete, brick
or stone. They may or may not be protected on the sides. It is safer, therefore, always to drive the
point of the pickaxe downwards then uncovering a cable, so that there is less chance of kissing such
warning slabs. No workman should be permitted to work alone where there are electric cables
involved. At least one more man should be working nearby so that help can be quickly in case of an
accident. If disconnection of power could be arranged in that section it will be better. No electric
cables shall be moved or altered without the consent of the Electric Authority and any warning bricks
disturbed during excavation should be replaced while back filling the trench. Before driving a spike
into the ground, the presence of other underground properties should be checked. Information on
plans regarding the location of power cables need not to be assumed as wholly accurate. Full
precautions should be taken in the vicinity until the power cable is uncovered. All electric cables
should be regarded as being live and consequently dangerous. Any power is generally dangerous,
even low voltage proving fatal in several cases.
31.4.2 Electric shock-Action and treatment

Free the victim form the contract as quickly as possible. He should be jerked away from the live
constructors by dry timber, dry rope or dry clothing. Care should be taken not to touch with bare
hands, as his body may be energies while in contact. Artificial respiration should begin immediately
to restore breathing even if life appears to be extinct. Every moment of delay is serious, so, in the
meanwhile, a doctor should be called for.
31.4.3 Safety precautions while working in Public Street and along railway lines.
Where a road or footpath is to be opened up in the course or work, special care should be taken to
see that proper protection is provided to prevent any accidents from occurring. Excavation work
should be done in such a manner that it would not unduly cause inconvenience to pedestrians or
occupants of buildings or obstruct road traffic. Suitable bridges over open trenches should be so
planned that these are required for the minimum possible time. Where bridges are constructed to
accommodate vehicular traffic and is done near or on railway property, it should be with the full
consent and knowledge of the competent railway authority.
31.4.4 Danger from falling material

Care should be taken to see that apparatus, or other excavating implements or excavated materials
are not left in a dangerous or insecure position so as to fall or be knocked into the trench thereby
injuring any workman who may be working inside the trench.
31.4.5 Care when working in Excavations

Jumping into a trench is dangerous. If it is deep, workmen should be encouraged to tower
themselves. Workers should work at safe distance so as to avoid striking each other accidentally with
tools. If the walls of the trench contain glass bits, corroded wire or sharp objects they should be
removed carefully. If an obstruction is encountered, it should be carefully uncovered and protected if
Page | 118
necessary. Care must be taken to see that excavated material is not left in such a position that it is
likely to cause any accident or obstruction to a roadway or waterway. It possible the excavated
material should be put between the workmen and the traffic without encroaching too much on the
road.
31.4.6 Danger of cave in

When working in deep trenches in loose soil, timbering up/shoring the sides will prevent soil
subsidence. The excavated material should be kept at sufficient distance from the edge of the trench
or pit. Vehicles or heavy equipment must not be permitted to approach too close to the excavation.
When making tunnelled opening, it should be ensured that the soil is compact enough to prevent
cave in even under adverse conditions of traffic. Extra care should be taken while excavating near the
foundations of buildings or retaining walls. In such cases, excavation should be done gradually and as
far as possible in the presence of the owners of the property.
31.4.7 Protection of Excavations

Excavations in populated areas, which are not likely to be filled up on the same day should be
protected by barriers or other effective means of preventing accidents and the location of all such
opening must in any event be indicated by red flags or other suitable warning signs. During the hours
from dusk to dawn, adequate number of red warning lamps should be displayed. Supervisory officers
should ensure that all excavations are adequately protected in this manner as serious risk and
responsibility is involved. Notwithstanding adoption of the above-mentioned precautions, works
involving excavations should be so arranged as to keep the extent of opened ground and the time to
open it to a minimum.
31.4.8 Precautious while working on roads

The period between half an hour after sunset and half an hour before sunrise, and any period of fog
or abnormal darkness may also be considered as night for the purpose of these instructions, for the
purpose of providing the warning signs. Excavation liable to cause danger to vehicles or the public
must at all times be protected with fencing of rope tied to strong uprights or bamboo poles at a
suitable height or by some other effective means. Any such temporary erection which is likely to
cause obstructions and which is not readily visible should be marked by posts carrying red flags or
boards with a red background by day any by continuously lighted lamps at night.
The flags and the lamps should be placed in conspicuous positions so as to indicate the pedestrians
and drivers or vehicles the full expanse i.e. both width and length of the obstruction. The distance
between lamps or between floors should not generally exceed 1.25m along the width and 6m along
length of the obstruction in no congested areas, but 4 meters along the length in congested areas. If
the excavation is extensive, sufficient notice to give adequate warning of the danger should be
displayed conspicuously not less than 1.25m above the ground and close to the excavation. Where
any excavation is not clearly visible for a distance of 25m to traffic approaching from any direction or
any part of the carriage way of the road in which the excavation exists, a warning notice should be
placed on the kerb or edge of all such roads from which the excavation or as near the distance as is
practicable but not less than 10m from the junction of an entering or intersecting road in which the
excavation exists. All warnings, in these should have a red background and should be clearly visible
and legible. All warning lamps should exhibit a red light, but white lights may be used in addition to
facilitate working at night. Wherever request a passage for pedestrians with footbridge should be
provided. At excavation, cable drums, tools and all materials likely to offer obstruction should be
properly folded round and protected. This applies to jointer’s tents as well. Leads, hoses etc.
Page | 119
stretched and across the carriageway should be guarded adequately for their own protection and
also that of the public.
31.4.9 Traffic Control

The police authorities are normally responsible for the control of traffic and may require the setting
up of traffic controls to reduce the inconvenience accessioned by establishment of a single line of
traffic due to restriction in road width or any other form of obstruction caused by the work. As far as
possible, such arrangements should be settled in advance. It there are any specific regulations
imposed by the local authorities, these should be followed.
31.4.10 Work along Railway Lines

Normally all works at Railway crossing is to be done under supervision of the railway authorities
concerned, but it is to be borne in mind that use of white, red or green flags by the Departmental
staff is positively forbidden to be used when working along a railway line as this practice may cause
as accident through engine drivers mistaking them for railway signals. When working along a double
line railway, the men should be warned to keep a sharp look on both the “UP” and “DOWN” lines to
avoid the possibility of any accident when trains pass or happen to cross one another near the work
spot.
31.4.11 Procedure and safety precautions for use of explosives during blasting for trenching
In areas, where the cable trench cannot be done manually on account of boulders and rocks, it is
necessary to blast the rocks by using suitable explosives. The quality of explosive to be used depends
on the nature of the rocks and the kind of boulders. A few types of explosive fuels and detonators
normally used for making for cable works are detailed below:
1. Gun Powder
2. Nitrate Mixture.
3. Gelatine
4. Safety fuse
5. Electric Detonator
6. Ordinary Detonator.
31.4.12 Procedure
A detailed survey of the route is to be done to assess the length of the section where trenching is to
be done with the help of blasting. A route diagram of the rocky section may be prepared indicating
the length of the route where the explosives are to be used. For the purpose of obtaining licence, a
longer length of route should be given in the application as in many cases, after digging, rocks appear
were blasting was not initially anticipated.
Next a licence will have to be obtained for use and storing of explosive in that section. If the area falls
under a police commissioner, the authority for granting such licence is the police commissioner of
the concerned area. When the route does not fall in the jurisdiction of a police commissioner, the
authority for issuing licence is the District Magistrate.
The concerned authority should be applied in prescribed form with a route map. The concerned
authority will make an enquiry and issue a licence for using/storing explosives for cables trenching
work. Such licence will be valid for 15 days only. The licence should be got renewed if the blasting
Page | 120
operation need to be extended. Once the licence is granted, it is the responsibility of the holders of
the licence for the proper use of explosives, its transportation and storing.
31.4.13 Method of using

The safest explosive is the gelatine and electric detonator. Gelatine is in the form of a stick. Electric
detonator is a type of fuse used for firing the explosive electrically. Holes are made at suitable
intervals on rocky terrain of boulders either by air compressor or by manual chipping. The depth of
the holes should be 2 to 3 ft. Fill up the holes with small quantity of sand for about 6”. First the
electric detonator it’s to be inserted into the gelatine and the gelatine is to be inserted into the holes
keeping the positive and negative wirings of electric detonators outside the holes. Again refill the
holes with sand. These positive and negative insulated wires of detonator are than extended and
finally connected to an EXPLODER kept at a distance of not less than 100m.
Now the explosive is ready for blasting. But, before connecting wires to exploder for blasting, all
necessary precautions for stopping the traffic, use of red flags, exchange of caution signals, etc.,
should be completed and only then exploder should be connected and operated.
31.4.14 Operation of exploder (IDL Schaffer type 350 type exploder)

The type 350 blasting machine consists of a bearing block with blasting machine system and the
explosion proof light – alloy injection moulded housing. The exploder is held with the left hand. The
twist handle is applied to the drive pin, clapped with the right hand turned in the clock wise direction
in continuous measurements at the highest speed from the initial position until it reached to a stop.
At this stage an indication lamp will glow. When the indications lamp glows, “press button switch”
should be pressed. This will extend the electric current to detonator and gelatine will be detonated.
The rock will be blasted out of the trench. Number of holes can be blasted in a single stroke by
connecting all such detonators in series connection and finally to the exploder. After blasting, again
labour are engaged on the work to clear the debris. If the result of the first blasting is not
satisfactory, it should be repeated again on the same place.
31.4.15 Warning
There may be two reasons for unsatisfactory results of the blasting:
1. Misfire of gelatine due to leakage of current from detonator.
2. Over loading because of overburdens.
Never pull the broken wire pieces form the holes in such cases. Attempt should not be made up to
re-blast the misfired gelatine. The safest way is to make a fresh hole by its side and put fresh gelatine
in that hole and blast it.
31.4.16 Precaution
The abstract of Explosive Rules 1983 which are relevant to our work is given below:
Restriction of delivery and dispatch of explosives:
No person shall deliver or dispatch any explosive to anyone other than a person who:-
1. Is the holder of a license to possess the explosive or the agent of a holder of such a license duly
authorized by him in writing on his behalf? OR
2. Is entitled under these rules to possess the explosives without a license.
Page | 121
The explosives so delivered or dispatched shall in no case exceed the quantity, which the person to
whom they are delivered or dispatched is authorized to possess with or without a license under
these rules.
No person shall receive explosive from any person other than the holder of a licence granted under
these rules. No person shall receive from or transfer explosive to any person for a temporary storage
or safe custody in a licensed premise unless prior approval is obtained from the Chief Controller.
 Protection from Lightening During Storing

Every magazine shall have attached there to one or more efficient lightening conductor designed and
erected in accordance with the specification laid down in Indian Standard Specifications No. 2309 as
amended from time to time. The connections to various parts of earth resistance of the lightening
conductor terminal on the building to the earth shall be tested at least once in every year by a
qualified electrical engineer or any other competent person holding a certificate of competency in
this behalf from the state Electricity Department. A certificate showing the results of such tests and
the date of the last test shall be hung up in conspicuous place in the building.
 Precautions during thunderstorm

When a thunder-storm appears to be imminent in the vicinity of a magazine or store house every
person engaged in or such magazine and store house shall be withdrawn to a safe distance from such
magazine or store house and the magazine and store house shall be kept closed and locked until the
thunder storm has ceased or the threat of its has passed.
 Maintenance of records
Every person holding a licence granted under these rules for possession, sale or use of explosive shall
maintain records in the prescribed forms and shall produce such record on demand to an Inspection
Officer.
 Explosives not to be kept in damaged boxes

The license of every magazine or storehouse shall ensure that, the explosives are always kept tin
their original outer package. IN case, the outer package gets damaged so that the explosive
contained therein cannot be stored or transported, such explosives shall be repacked only after the
same are examined by controller of explosives.
 Storage of Explosives in excess of the licensed quantity:

The quantity of any kind of explosives kept in any licensed magazine or storehouse shall not exceed
the quantity entered in the license against such kind of explosives. No explosives in excess of the
licensed quantity shall be stored in the magazine or storehouse unless a permit in this behalf is
obtained from the licensing authority by a letter or telegram.
31.4.17 Precautions to be observed at site

When charging is completed, any surplus explosive detonators and fuses shall be removed from the
vicinity of the hole and stored at a distance which should prevent accidental detonation in the event
of a charge detonating prematurely in any hole. The holes that have been charged with explosives
shall not be left unattended till the blasting is completed. Care shall be taken to ensure that fuse or
wises connected to the detonation are not damaged during the placing of stemming materials and
tamping.
 Suitable warning procedure to be maintained
Page | 122
The licensee or a person appointed by the licensee to be in charge of the use of explosives at the site
shall lay down a clear warning procedure consisting of warning signs and suitable signals and all
persons employed in the area shall be made fully conversant with such signs and signals.
 Precautions to be observed while firing

The end of the safety fuse (if used in place of a detonator should be freshly cut before being lighted.
The exploders shall be regularly tested and maintained in fit conditions for use in firing. An exploder
shall not be used for firing a circuit above its rated capacity. The electric circuits shall be tested for
continuity before firing. All persons other than the shot-fibre and his assistant, if any, shall be
withdrawn from the site before testing the continuity.
For the purpose of jointing, the ends of all wires and cables should have the insulation removed for a
maximum length of 5 cms and should, then be made clears and bright for a minimum length of 2.5
cms and the ends to be joined should be twisted together so as to have a positive metal contact.
Then these should be taped with insulation to avoid leakage when in contact with earth.
In case of blasting with dynamite or any other high explosive, the position of all the boreholes to be
drilled shall be marked in circle with while paint. The Successful Bidder agent shall inspect these.
Bore holes shall be of a size that the cartridge can easily pass down. After the drilling operations, the
agent shall inspect the holes to ensure that drilling has been done only at the marked locations and
no extra hole has been drilled. The agent shall then prepare the necessary charge separately for each
bore hole. The boreholes shall be thoroughly cleaned before a cartridge is inserted. Only cylindrical
wooden tamping. Metal rods or rods having pointed ends shall never be used for tamping. One
cartridge shall be placed in the borehole and gently pressed but not rammed down. Other cartridges
shall then be added as may be required to make up the necessary charge for the borehole. The top
most cartridge shall be connected to the detonator which shall in turn be connected to the safety
fuses of required length. All fuses shall be cut to the length required before being inserted into the
holes. Joints in fuses shall be avoided. Where joints are unavoidable, a semi-circular niche shall be
cut in one piece inserted into the niche. The two pieces shall be wrapped with rubber tape.
The maximum of eight boreholes shall be loaded and fired at one occasion. The charges shall be fired
successively and not simultaneously. Immediately before firing, warning shall be given and the agent
shall see that all persons have retired to a place of safety. The safety fuses of the charged holes shall
be lignite in the presence of the agent, who shall see that all the fuses are properly ignited.
Carefully count shall be kept by the agent and other of each blast as it explodes. In case all the
charged bore holes have exploded, the agent shall inspect the site soon after the blast but in case of
misfire the agent shall inspect the site after half an hour and mark red crossed (X) over the holes
which have not exploded. During his interval of half an hour, nobody shall approach the misfired
holes. No drilling shall work near such bore until either of the following operations have been done
by the agent for the misfired boreholes.
a) The Successful Bidder’s agent shall very carefully (When the tamping is a damp clay) extract the
tamping with a wooden scraper and withdraw the primer and detonator.
b) The holes shall be cleaned for 30 cm of tamping and its direction ascertained by placing a stick in
the hole. Another hole shall then be drilled 15cm away and parallel to it. This hole shall be charged
and fired. The misfired holes shall also explode along with the new one.
Before leaving the site of work, the agent of one shift shall inform another agent relieving him for the
next shift, of any case of misfire and each such location shall be explained to the relieving.
Page | 123
JCNL shall also be informed by the agent of all cases of misfire, their causes and steps taken in that
connection.
31.4.18 General Precautions

For the safety of persons red flags shall be prominently is played around the area where blasting
operations are to be carried out. All the workers at site, except those who actually ignite the fuse,
shall withdraw to a safe distances of at least 200 meter from the blasting site. Audio warning by
blowing whistle shall be given before igniting the fuse.
Blasting work shall be done under careful supervision a trained personnel shall be employed. Blasting
shall not be done within 200 meter of an existing structure, unless specifically permitted by JCNL in
writing.
Precautions against misfire:
The safety fuse shall be cut in an oblique direction with a knife. All saw dust shall be cleared from
inside of the detonator. This can be done by blowing down the detonator and tapping the open end.
No tools shall be inserted into the detonator for this purpose.
If there is water present or if the borehole is damp, the junction of the fuse and detonator shall be
made water tight by means of tough grease or any other suitable material. The detonator shall be
inserted into the cartridge so that about one third of the copper tube is left exposed outside the
explosive. The safety fuse just above the detonator shall be securely tied in position in the cartridge.
Waster proof fuse only shall be used in the damp borehole or when water is present in the borehole.
If a misfire has been found to be due to defective fuse, detonator or dynamite, the entire
consignment from which the fuse, detonator or dynamite was taken shall be got inspected by JCNL or
his authorized representative before resuming the blasting or returning the consignment.
31.4.19 Precaution against stray currents

Where electrically operated equipment is used in locations having conductive ground or continuous
metal objects, tests shall be made for stray current to ensure that electrical firing can proceed safely.

32 Annexure XVIII - Standard Engineering Instructions (Under Ground Optical

Fibre Cable)
This Engineering instruction deals with the methods to be adopted in laying of HDPE pipes
for Optical Fibre Cable and laying of optical Fibre Cable. The following laying practices are
adopted by the field units.
32.1 Detailed Survey

 Following alternative should be considered after techno-economic evaluation to meet the
planned objectives of the scheme.
1. Minimum possible route length vis-a-vis on a route having maximum number of locations
with potential growth on O.F routes.
2. Keeping various Government institute on the route under planned systems as against by-
passing some of these Government institute by routing the Optical Fibre Cable on main
road without leading in, in congested locations.
3. Linking of Government institute a little away from main road and routing the main
cable itself via such locations.
4. Having new building for repeaters on main route or housing the repeaters in the
existing Government institute buildings on the routes.
 After deciding above mentioned issues a detailed measurement of lengths of cable route
along with details of rail/road crossings, culverts, causeways etc. maybe recorded in the
detailed survey register. The probable location of joints, terminations and repeaters may also be
decided and marked on the road map.
 On the basis of surveys, general permission from road and rail authorities for laying the
Optical Fibre Cable along the suitable roads and at particular rail / road crossings will
have to be obtained. Generally OFC may preferably be laid straight as for as possible along the
road near the boundaries, away from the burrow pits. When the OFC is laid along the National
Highways, Cable should run along the road land boundary or at a minim um distance of
15 meters from the center line of the road where the road land in wider. In special cases where
it may be necessary to avoid burrow pits or low lying areas, the Cable may be run underneath the
shoulders at a distance of 0.6 meter from the outer edge of the road embankment provided the
same is located at least 4.5 meters away from centre line of road and 1.2 meter below the
road surface.
Page | 125
32.2 Soil Categorization

Soil is categorized only under two broad categories i.e. "Rocky" and “Non Rocky", for purpose of.
deciding the depth at & which the cable is to be laid. The soil is categorized as rocky if the
cable trench cannot be dug without blasting and / or chiseling. All other types of soils shall be
categorized as “Non rocky” including Murrum & soil mixed with stone or soft rock.
However for the purpose of execution of trenching contracts, project authorities may classify the
soil in more than one group and decide contractual obligations suitably.
32.3 Types of pipe to be used for Optical Fibre Cable

1. Optical Fibre Cables should be blow through Permanently Lubricated HDPE Duct of 40 mm-OD
and 33 mm ID Pipe in 500/1000 Meter Coil. Which meets the specification as given in G/R No-
G/CDS-08/01 Dec 99 with latest amendments shall only be used for laying the OFC. Wherever
DWC pipe or GI pipes or R.C.C. pipes are used for protection, the two ends of the pipe should
be properly sealed to protect HDPE pipe from sharp edge of GI pipe and to bar the entry of
rodents. For providing additional protection Split RCC/GI pipes should be used from top instead
of full RCC/GI pipes.
2. Use of normal duty DWC (Double walled corrugated) HDPE pipe – ISI marked and anti-
rodent conforming to IS 14930 (Part - II) can also be utilized as preferable choice due to
economic consideration for protection of optical fibre cable (choosing suitable DWC from
nominal OD/ID dia 50/38,63/50,77/63,90/76,120/103,145/126,160/136,175/148 mm). It is
recommended that where ever OFC is passing over the ground surface (exposed outside) and
more prone to damage, GI pipe may be used preferably. Depending upon the site conditions
and cost consideration one of the protection viz DWC / GI / RCC pipe may be used.
3. All Depths should be measured from the top of pipe. However the depth is considered
acceptable if it is not less by more than 8 cm from the specified depth of 1.5 m in non-rocky soil
and 0.9 mm in case of rocky soil. This margin of 8 cm is not applicable for the minimum
depth prescribed for providing protection i.e. 1.2 min non rocky / rocky soil and 0.5 m in case
of rocky soil.
32.4 Trenching
Major specifications for trenching are: -
i. Normally depth of the trench should be more by 165 cm with respect to the
depth which is required to be attained.
ii. Top and bottom width of the trench should normally be 45 cm and 30 cm
respectively. In loose soils it may be necessary to increase the width at the top to avoid
collapsing of trench.
iii. Trenching wherever possible, should be at the road boundary and as far as
possible, straight.
iv. Whenever curves or deviations are encountered it should be a very smooth curve, the
radius of curvature should be more than 50cm. at least.
v. Bottom of the trenches should be at uniform level without any abrupt ups and
downs. After the trenching is done for sufficient length, the bottom leveling should
be inspected for uniformity to ensure that pipe should be laid without sharp bends.
Page | 126
vi. In exceptional cases, the depth of the trench could be much more than 1.65 m
due to undulating terrain.
vii. In certain cases, in a uniform terrain a sudden burrow pit of short length might be
encountered. In such cases, the HDPE pipe can be further protected by DWC / GI / RCC
pipes of suitable size.
viii. In water logged area digging should be done in shorter sections and dewatering should
be got done before pipe laying.
ix. When trenching is done close to power cables precautions detailed in EI lines & cables
underground should be observed.
x. When trenching is undertaken along streets and railway lines, safety precautions given
in EI lines & Cables underground. A 0005 should be observed.
xi. Caution boards should be provided at each end of the trench to caution the traffic. Red
flags may also be planted at suitable intervals throughout the trench. If trench is to
remain open at night red lamps or luminous caution boards on either ends should be
provided.
xii. After the trench is ready, bed of trench is prepared by even & soft layer of 5.0
cm sleeved earth and properly leveled. Now the trench is ready for laying the HDPE
pipe.
32.5 Laying/Construction practices
 In cross - country routes

Optical Fibre cables shall be laid through HDPE pipes at a depth of 1.55M as measured from
top of HDPE pipe. Taking into account the diameter of the HDPE pipe and provision of soft soil
below HDPE pipe, it will be desirable to have the trench dug to depth better than, 1.65
meters. In case of obstructions etc. the cables can be laid at a lesser depth provided.
i. A minimum depth of 0.90 is achieved in case of rocky soil. In case of non-rocky soil where
due to any obstructions in built up areas it is not possible to dig deeper, a minimum
depth of 1.00 meter from top of pipe shall be maintained. Wherever the minimum depth of
0.9M in rocky soil cannot be adhered to, depth can further be reduced up to 0.5M
but for such cases officials designated by JCNL should grant relaxation on specific
recommendation. In all such cases where the depth is less than 0.9m, mechanical protection
by reinforced concrete casing 4" round should be provided.
ii. Suitable mechanical protection by using DWC/ RCC/ GI pipes to be provided for all cables laid
at a depth less than 1.2m. No protection, however, need be given if the cable depth is more
than 1.2m.
iii. The reasons for not laying the cable at stipulated depth of 1.65m are recorded "and certified
by the officials designated by the JCNL of cable laying.
Note: Where rocky soil is encountered for a distance of 50 meters or less, the cable depth will
be maintained at 1.65m as in case of adjoining non-rocky soil.
Page | 127
 In hilly areas
i. Optical Fibre cables shall be laid on the valley side where depth may be achievable, if
the permission for laying the OF Cable on the valley side is available. If the
permission for laying the OFC is not available, then OFC shall be laid on the hill side. The PLB
pipe laid, in hilly areas at depths lower than one meter can be protected by direct
concreting instead of using GI pipe and concreting thereafter. Laying of overhead OFC may
be the third option. Laying of cable on valley side or overhead should be approved by the
designated official of JCNL concerned if the deviated trench is not more than 1km and in
case stretches longer than 1km, the designated officials of JCNL should approve it.
ii. Normal standard of 25X25 cm of concreting cannot be followed in the hilly terrain as
the groove /trench made in the rocks are generally are not of standard size of 25X25
cm. Hence the PLB pipe may be laid in the trench/groove of the requisite pipe width and at
least 20 cm of concreting may be done above the pipe covering the entire width of the
trench at 20 cm above the pipe.
 In built up areas
City / Town, urban areas falling within municipal / Corporation limits shall normally fall
under this category where the following laying / Construction practices shall be adopted. For
other inhabited villages / towns etc. not falling under any municipal / corporation limits
suitable cable depth/protection is to be decided by the officer recognized by JCNL
 On Ducted Routes
Optical fibre cables may be laid through the existing ducts wherever the ducts are available.
As far as possible the cable may be diverted to the new ducts laid subsequently. When
the cables are laid in ducts, no particular depth is prescribed. End of the ducts should be
properly sealed and necessary protection by way of DWC/ G. I. pipe / RCC pipe should be
provided at the entry and exit of the duct till the cable is buried to a depth of 1.5m. The
above is applicable in villages or ‘any other’ ducts laid cross country.
 On Non-ducted Routes
As the non-ducted routes in built up areas are more vulnerable to faults due to cables/pipes
of other services laid close to DOT Cables, it is essential to take special care while laying
optical fibre cables on these route. The OF cable shall be laid through HDPE pipes at a depth
of 1.5m, and additional protection by using DWC/RCC/GI pipes shall be provided. If need
be the OF cable can be laid below the cables and pipes of other agencies including local
telephone cables and if required cable may be laid via alternate longer route. Only in
exceptional cases the depth of cable laying may be relaxed to 1.00m in non-rocky soil
and 0.9m in rocky soil as in case of cross country routes, provided the reasons for not
laying the cables at a stipulated depth of 1.5m are recorded and certified by
authorized official of cable laying, The minimum depth of 0.9m in rocky soil may further
relaxed to 0.5m for location where permission for blasting is not granted by local authorities
even after taking up for the same. In all such cases mechanical protection by reinforced
concrete casing 4" round shall be provided.
 On Culverts / bridges Nullahs
Page | 128
i. Nullahs dry for nine months in a year

The Cable shall be laid at 1.5m depth below the bed of nullah through HDPE pipe
and protection provided by using DWC of suitable dia / RCC pipe of minim um internal dia
of 100mm. The DWC / RCC pipe shall extend 2M minim um beyond the end Nullah on either
side. Depth of 1.5m can further be reduced depending on nature of soil & other conditions
with a view to minimize the damage to the OFC during flood season the cable should be laid
on upstream side of causeway at an approximate distance of about 4 times than depth of
the f low during high floods.
ii. On culverts / bridges over other nallahs
Various option are available for laying the Optical Fibre Cable along the parapet wall of the
culverts / bridges. One of these option, may be adopted depending upon site conditions. On
approach roads to these bridges / culverts also, protection by using DWC / RCC pipes shall be
provided for 2M on both sides.
iii. On rail bridges / crossings
On rail bridges/crossings the optical fibre cables shall be laid through HDPE pipe
which shall be encased in suitable cast iron / RCC pipe as prescribed by Railway authorities.
iv. On road crossings
 The optical fibre cable shall be laid at a depth of 1.5m through HDPE pipe encased in
DWE/RCC pipes which shall extend three meters on either side of the end road to take care
of any future expansion. Depth of 1.5M can further be reduced depending on nature of
soil & other conditions in accordance with para 37.5 (In cross - country routes & In hilly
areas)
32.6 Pipe Laying
For pulling the cable manually through the pipes, it is necessary to have suitable manhole of
about 02 x 02m2 made at every 200M length and at suitable bends and corners. The pipes
are laid for 200M or less, at a time, depending upon the distance between two
manholes. For a 200M trench Single HDPE 40/33 mm is required. The HDPE pipe shall be
sign written with indelible red paint as 'ITD' with a mark of telephone. In addition, for
closing the ends of the two extreme end pipes 2 special types of caps are also needed. A 4mm
polypropylene rope could be drawn through the pipes and safely tied to the caps at either end
with hooks. These 4mm ropes are, to be provided throughout the route which could, serve to
pull the l2mm rope which is ultimately required to pull the cable. Single HDPE duct of 40/33
mm of 200m length with 2 caps and 210m of 4mm polypropylene rope drawn through
them and safely tied. Would complete 200M of pipe laying. After the pipes are laid as
mentioned above with ropes and leaving gaps for manholes, indicators are to provide at
the 200M gap locations to identify the manholes. Necessary offset diagrams are also
required indicating the distance from the c entre of the road. The depth of the trench is also
to be recorded.
 Laying of pipes on bridges, culverts, etc.
i. In small bridges and culverts across canals, different methods as given below could be
Page | 129
followed.
ii. If the bridge or culvert is broad and is having sufficient cushioning, the pipes can be
buried inside.
iii. If the bridge/culvert is provided with raised and hollow foot - path or wheel guard,
the pipe encased in GI can be buried inside the hollow foot - path or can be laid
over the wheel guard and chambered.
iv. If the 'supporting pillars are having projections and between pillars the distance is less
than the pipes (HDPE with GI encasing could be laid over the pillar projections.
v. If none of the solutions is possible, then outside the parapet wall, GI troughs can be
fitted with suitable clamps. For smaller bridges, the HDPE pipes can be laid inside the
trough. However, for long bridges, HDPE pipes need not be laid inside the trough. While
laying the cable, glass wool or other cushioning items may be used. In either case, the gaps
between two troughs after putting the lids should be thoroughly covered to prevent entry of
rodents.
vi. Special type of bridges such as cantilever type requires special type of troughs to be locally
manufactured to withstand the vertical and horizontal movement of the joints of cantilever
bridge.
 Route Indicators
The G.I. indicators embedded in concrete of Trapezium shape with base of 30 x 30 cm and top
of 15 x 15 cm may be provided at every 200 M or at suitable bends and corners as may be
required. A minimum of 30 cm of its top portion should be kept above the ground level.
The route indicators may be painted yellow and may be put along the road at a
suitable distance away from the cable trench such that they are clearly visible from road
side. In future electronic markers shall be used for route indicators.
 Joint Indicators
The G. I. joint indicators embedded in concrete similar to that of RI may be provided at joint
locations & may be buried in ground with at least 30 cm of it above the ground level.
The joint indicator may be kept along the road side clearly visible from road and may be
painted red. In future electronic markers shall be used for joint indicators.
32.7 Depth A/T
i. Before the cable is actually pulled through the pipe, the Bidder should offer the route
for A/T through JCNL of the depth and position of the cable and correctness of the route
diagram. The best way should be to offer it in stretches of 10-20 km soon after the HDPE
pipe is buried.
ii. The route diagram should be prepared and made over to the A/T unit in advance. The
A/T unit will specify the spots roughly two per km for checking of depth and position of
the cable, sound laying practice and prescribed protection. Wherever depths are prescribed
the tolerance up to minus 8 cm is permissible. For checking accuracy of the route
diagram and position of the cable, the permissible tolerance will be ± 0.5 meter. For
checking position of the cable, standard survey tapes will be used.
Page | 130
iii. If the pipe is found to be at depth than prescribed, OFC should not be drawn through HDPE
pipe and pipe should be lowered to the proper depth at the locations where
necessary relaxation of competent authority as mentioned in earlier Paras is not available.
32.8 General Precautions
 Handling of cable drums

i. The optical fibre cable drums should be handled with utmost care. The drums should not be
subjected to shocks by dropping etc. The drum should not be rolled along the road for long
distances and when rolled, should be in the direction indicated by the arrow. The covering
planks should be removed only at the time of actual laying.
ii. The previously laid pipes manholes and portion of bends etc. on the cable route as
records maintained at the time of laying pipes, should be got cleaned of earth and the
pipes may be cleaned thoroughly before blowing of cable is stared.
iii. Depending upon the length of the drum (2/4 ± 5% Km) and coiling required for jointing
purposes, chain measurement is taken from the starting end of section and exact joint
location is marked. If it does not fall at the existing man hole location, a separate
manholes of 2M x 2M is to be made to accommodate the joint box as well as coil..
All the joint locations are fixed in a similar manner. The intermediate manholes of 2M x 2M
are also to be kept ready for blowing purposes.
iv. As the drums are standardized for 2/4 ± 5% Km for highways, it is preferable to lay
the cable by placing the cable drum at the manhole point nearest to 1 km from the joint
locations.
v. The standard practice to keep the clock wise end of the cable to the 'A’ side of the route
and the anti-clock wise end to 'B' side. Also, it is the practice to have the clockwise end
on top and anti-clock wise at the bottom of ' the drum . With the above in view, cable
drum is to be mounted on the jack and wheel with drum shaft (Axle) in horizontal position.
vi. The rope end is to be fixed at one end of a swivel (Anti twist device) permanently or by
means of a shackle. The other end of the swivel is tied to the pulling eye of the cable. If a
pulling eye is not available, then a cable grip is to be used.
vii. As the cable length is 4 km, during cable laying work, proper communication is to be
established. This can be done with magneto telephones with drop wire.
32.9 Precaution against Damage by Termites & Rodents
In the rodent prone areas Optical fibre cable joint closures should be applied with BHC 10%
dust (Benzene Hydro chloride 10%) to prevent rodent & termite dam age. The method
suggested is "BHC 10% dust of 1Kg. is to be mixed in an approximate 2 Kg of sand and
applied around the optical fibre cable joint enclosures”.
Page | 131
32.10 Norms for Ribbon Optical Fibre Cable
 Limit of average splice loss for sections up to 15 Km may be increased from 0.2 db to 0.3 db.
The maximum number of splices that can have loss more than 0.3 db in a section, should not
be more than 10% ( from existing 5%) of total splices subject to the condition that per
KM loss should not exceed the prescribed limit. However, no change in present A/T limit
is recommended for distance exceeding 15 Km.
 Section length may be increased from 10 Km to 15 Km to overcome the difficulties being
faced by the field units in commissioning of OAN. Since the time taken to splice ribbon OF
cable is much longer, the same should not be used as a part of long distance network. Long
distance cable presently carries up to 80 GB on DWDM and hence long outages cannot be
tolerated.
32.11 Cable Laying
List of tools & other items required for cable laying is given below. This can be taken as a check
list.
 Jack - one pair
 Rope for unloading/loading. Metallic ramp for loading / unloading.
 Cable winch.
 Nylon rope drums of 1250M (For machine pulling).
 4mm rope.
 Swivel and Shackle.
 Pulling socks or cable grip.
 Lubricant. .
 Plastic bowls for lubricant.
 Sponge.
 Walkie-Talkie 6 Nos.
 Magneto Telephone 6
 Drop wire 2 km. (for magneto).
 Rubber 2/manhole.
 Half round (split) pipes 2/manhole.
 Polythene tape 5m/manhole.
 Clamps 4/prs/manhole.
 Cleaning brush for cleaning pipes.
 Mandrill.
Page | 132
Sometimes there is considerable lapse of time between the pipe laying and cable laying.
This intervening period could have heavy rains too. Therefore there is possibility of entering
dissolved muddy water into the HDPE pipes. This dissolved muddy water may transform into a
thick paste or solid mud. Cleaning of the pipes before the cable laying is absolutely necessary to
remove any such obstructions. A 4 mm nylon rope is already laid in HDPE pipe. One end of this
rope is connected to Mandrill. The other end of mandrill is connected to another rope of 4
mm size and suitable length to cover the distance between two manholes. The existing 4
mm rope is pulled from other manhole and thus the mandrill will clear the pipes. Similar
operation is then done by replacing mandrill with nylon brush and rugs.
 The pulling of the cable can be done in three ways:
i. By Cable winch
ii. By cable winch assisted by manual pulling at inter. mediate manholes.
iii. By manual pulling at all the manholes.
 For manual pulling, the rope may be attached to 9 diameter and then to the pulling eye
which is fixed to the cable end by supplier. The pulling may be done either manually
under close supervision watching all the time. The pulling tension or by means of .winch
with automatic cut off at set tension monitored through dynamometer fitted in the pulling
winch.
 To 'reduce the friction between the cable and HDPE, a suitable lubricant may be
continuously applied with a sponge to the cable surface during pulling at every
intermediate manhole. The types of Lubricants with their frictional co-efficient are given in
the table.
 As soon as 1 km cable or so is pulled towards one side of the route, sufficient
overlap of cable may be kept at splicing location so that the ends may be taken into the
Air conditioned splicing van placed at a convenient and nearby place. 15 meter cable may be
the maximum requirement.
 Laying the Remaining Half of the Cable
i. Take out the winch to the other end if, machine pulling is done.
ii. Uncoil the cable and make the formation of 8. This should be done manually with sufficient
care and minimum bending radius.
iii. Repeat the process of connecting the end of the cable with eye or pulling grip to the swivel
to which the pulling rope is attached.
iv. Repeat the process of pulling the cable by winch or manual with special attention to
lubricant super vision and coiling the overlapping length in the pit. .
v. The mouth of the HDPE pipes at every man hole is closed by rubber bushing. This is mainly
required for prevention of rodent entry.
vi. The cable at the intermediate man holes are to be covered by split 65mm OD 10 kg/cm
HDPE, 2 pipes, covered with polythene tapes and clamped at 4 places, thereafter re-
instatement of the man holes is to be done.

33 Annexure XIX - Standard Engineering Instructions (Aerial Optical Fibre

Cable)
This Standard engineering Instruction (EI) deals with the guidelines and the installation practice
for installing self-supporting Aerial Optical Fibre Cable.
33.1 Route Survey

The route should be inspected before the actual installation of optical fibre cables. Survey of
the aerial route should be carried out pole by pole.
33.2 Over Head Alignment

The existing route alignment wherever available should be used. On new routes, alignment
should be erected. The span length must not exceed 90 meters.
33.3 Line Diagram

A line diagram should be prepared to mark the poles & the actual distance between the
poles in a splice section (Normally 15 poles per km are recommended). Additional poles
should be erected if required to keep the span length within the specified limits. Care should
be taken that the alignment is easily accessible from the road. It is necessary to keep clear
head way (Ground clearance) of 12 to 15 feet in a section. The number of road crossings,
canals or nallahs, electric lines should be clearly marked in the route diagram.
33.4 Hilly Regions

Line erection rules must be strictly followed. Additional poles may be erected for better
support to optical fibre cable & to avoid sharp curves & bends. Span lengths should be
reduced to avoid sags in case of steep slopes.
33.5 Tension Poles

Tension poles are dead end or termination poles. The tension poles shall have dead end
fittings. The dead end fittings offer a continuous run of the aerial optical fibre cable. These
fittings relieve the optical fibre cable of its compressive, bending & clamping stresses. The
performed dead end fittings are suitably gritted for excellent tensile holding strength.
 Selection of Tension Poles: Selection of tension poles depends upon the actual site location
of the route. Every fifth pole should be a tension pole in straight alignment. Splicing location
poles should be tension poles or wherever alignment takes a sharp turn (more than 15
degrees) should also be a tension pole.
33.6 Suspension Pole

The suspension pole assembly is designed to offer cushion to aerial optical fibre cable
against the dynamic stress of Aeolian vibration at the suspension point. They also reduce
static stresses at the Support point.
 Selection Suspension Poles: Selection of suspension poles also depends upon actual site
location of route. All the intermediate poles between two tension poles will be suspension
poles.
33.7 Selection of Splice Location

The splice box of the Aerial Optical Cable should be buried underground. Therefore it is
necessary to fix & determine the splicing location as per the designated cable drum length.

Normal methods for leading in and precautions recommended for leading-in of the optical
fibre cable should be followed. A conduit pipe should be laid for leading-in the O.F. cable.
Inside the building; the cable may also be taken directly from the nearby O/H pole to inside
of the building for termination.
33.13 Preparation
 Before the installation the O.F. cable should be tested.
Page | 146
 As per requirement install the additional new poles.
 Each pole should be checked for its strength. Provide extra stays if more strength is required.
 The Aerial O.F. Cable is recommended to be installed on the outermost hole of bracket
towards road on the existing bracket/new bracket on the poles.
 Replace weak and other poles for clear ground clearance and strength as per the field
conditions.
 Provide ground clearance of 12 feet in non-obstructing areas.
 Raise the height to minimum 16 feet at all the road crossings.
 Maintain the alignment as straight as possible.
 Construct splice chambers.
33.14 Splice Locations

The field splices should be buried underground. The cable should be brought down through
a 40mm dia GI pipe clamped on the pole. Proper bends (120-135 degree) are
recommended for negotiating the bend. Wooden/hard rubber bushes shall be used at the
entry and exit points of the GI pipe to avoid damage to the cable. A splice chamber as per
the standard practice shall be made. The selection of the splice point shall depend upon
the availability of space and the cable length.
33.15 Calculation of Section Length

33.17 Installation of Aerial Optical Fibre Cable

The following steps are recommended: -
 Install the accessories and fixtures as per the requirement of the individual poles it tension
and suspension fittings.
 Install the demountable pulley on all the poles in the section before pulling the cable.
 Keep the cable drum over the jack near the 1st pole at the beginning of the section.
 Attach anti twist device and the shackle hook along with the rope to the front and of the
cable on pulling eye or on the cable grip. Carry the attached rope over the demountable
pulleys for pulling the cable.
 Depute one person at each pole to monitor and in case it is required to guide the cable over
the demountable pulley during pulling operation.
 The cable should be pulled till the cable reaches the last pole of the section.
 Wherever in the pulling section; through pulling is difficult; half section or one fourth, action
pulling method may be adopted by using figure of a techniques.
 The feeding and pulling of the cable should be synchronized by using communication link.
Care is required to be taken so that the cable is not accumulated at any one point during
pulling operation and sharp bends are avoided.
 Once the cable reaches the other end actual tensioning of the cable and fixing the
installation of the accessories and fixtures shall be taken up with the help of cable pulling
winch. The pulling tension must be monitored during tensioning.
 Install the tension fittings and accessories at the 1st pole.
 Fix a flat twin open type cable grip on the cable after tension pole for tensioning the cable in
the preceding tension section.
Page | 148
 The cable shall be tensioned to a tension of 1-3 to 1-6 times of the cable weight. The sag
shall be monitored and kept between 0.25 to 0.5% of the span length.
 The cable should be lifted between two poles by using cable pole fork during tensioning and
fixing of the cable.
 During the fixing operation the cable shall remain under required tension for minimizing the
sag in the splice section.
 Now install tension fitting and accessories at the all tensioned pole at the end of the tension
section.
 Install the suspension fitting and accessories on the intermediate poles in the tensioned
section.
 Similarly installation should be carried out in each tension pole in the entire section and the
tension and suspension fittings are installed.
 At the Through tension poles the cable shall be kept loose and shall be supported by cable
jumper clamp.
 At the end pole where the cable reel is kept; the cable to be taken through GI pipe (fixed to
