nearest hospital when required.

8. Methods for GI & PVC Conduit Installation


General Procedure for conduit installation is given below after which
area wise details are provided like method statement for conduit
installation in slab, walls and exposed areas etc.

Steps for exposed GI conduit installation on walls & ceilings etc.


Step 1: Take the following drawings approved for construction.

 GI conduits layout complete with section details.


 MEP coordination drawing complete with section details.

 Architectural Drawing

Step 2: Procedure for GI Conduit Installation

Check the route of GI conduiting to make sure that it is free from


debris and obstruction of any other activity.

Arrange scaffolding of sufficient height which is checked by


scaffolding inspector/ safety officer before using the same for
installation.

Mark the reference points on wall/ column as per civil architectural


drawing.

Identify the circuit start point and end points to mark the conduit
route as per approved drawings.

Make hole in wall/concrete using drill machine for rawal plug, fix
rawal plug inside hole and then fix base of saddle by screw at every 2
meter span.

Use recommended and approved GI conduiting & bends as per site


condition and drawing. Remove sharp edge of cut length of conduit
by filing.

Install conduits and all accessories as per approved shop drawing and
tight with saddle and screw, make joints using threaded fittings.
Installation of GI conduits shall be checked by internal quality
engineer as per drawings and quality of installation before offering
consultant/client for inspection.

Conduits are not to cross pipe shafts, vents or opening.

Additional threaded cuts on GI conduits are to be painted with zinc


based coating resistant to corrosion.

Approved clamps to be used for the supports.

Maximum spacing of
supports for different
conduit sizes to be clarified.

Conduits on walls are to be


run neatly, horizontally or
vertically.

Conduits are to be used for


exposed installations over
false ceilings when the false
ceiling is used as return
plenum.

Conduits is to be used for all installation in elevator machine room


and shafts, electrical equipment rooms, parking floor, solid waste
rooms, etc.

All works on site will be as per electrical specifications and as per


applicable electrical wiring regulations.

The risk assessment mentioning necessary control measures shall be


attached to this method statement to follow and implement the
requirements

Method Statement for PVC Conduit Installation In Concrete Slab

Following tools should be arranged before starting the job.


 Dia (20 & 25 ) mm pipe Bender
 Mini Hacksaw Frame with Blades
 Choke Lime Powder with sufficient length of Thread
 500gm Hammer
 Measuring Tape
 End Cutter ( Kalwa )

PVC Conduit Installation Steps in Slab

 Ensure that the civil people have finished ply/post tension


work on the slab.
 Arrange the approved shop drawings for the area of
installation.
 Mark first the wall location for lower floor in slab as per latest
Architecture layout so that it will be easy to locate the drops
for switch, thermostat and any other drops required for
electrical system.
 Mark the opening size in Electrical Room and Telephone
room as per approved electrical drawing.
 Mark the Electrical points on the slab as per approved
Electrical Layout and fix proper shape and size of the Circular
Box with the help of nail/mess in case of plywood slab and
provide steel bar chairs for fixing the box in case of post
tension slab.
 Just after completing the first layer of steel, start PVC
conduiting work with different sizes of conduit based on
electrical system requirements and as per drawings.
 Always loop the two way switches with 20 mm conduit as the
number of wires will be more and only switch drop pipe will
not be sufficient for pulling all these wires.
 Try to avoid the overlapping of conduits and keep some
distance between the conduits for low current and
power/Lights.

 Just after completing the work tight the conduits with


binding wire and mark the circuit numbers. identification for
the raised pipe in slab for upper slab to be done for power,
TV and telephone systems and closing the mouth of pipe
with the help of masking tape .
 The site Engineer/Foreman should check the proper size of
conduit and circular box, opening size in both Electrical and
Telephone room and be sure the work is completed as per
approved Electrical shop drawing.
 Before the concrete pouring the PVC conduit installation to
be inspected and approved by consultant/client/contractor.
 During concrete pouring, keep electricians for taking care of
conduit to avoid any damage by others or dislocation of
joints.

(finished floor levels).
 Mark the location of switch/socket and conduit route on
proper height based on approved shop drawing.
 Ensure the box size and accordingly cut a bit larger size of
box in marked place of block wall with sufficient depth.
 Start cutting the marked place for conduit run with the help
of grinder and chip with hammer after cutting.
 Fix the GI Metal box of appropriate size and level with the
help of spirit level.

 The bottom portion of box should match the marked level as


per consultant approved height for switch/ socket and/or as
per local applicable wiring regulation requirements.
 Apply cement filler to fix the box properly and leave for
setting, insert the required lengths of conduits on their paths
and don’t connect with boxes until next day.
 Next day, after setting of box connect the dropped conduits
for switch/socket to the box.
 Make sure the conduits are not visible from outside their
route which could lead improper plastering.
 Before the plastering work issue the inspection requests for
client so that approval can be taken.

Quality Inspection and Testing


The work area shall be maintained neat and tidy as reasonably
practical at all times.

 Executed works in areas where other works are still being carried out
shall be protected as per the contract requirements.

 In accordance with the project quality plan, necessary records will be


maintained as documentary evidence of the establishment of
this electrical method statement.

All the in process works shall be monitored for quality of


workmanship and installation against approved shop drawings by the
relevant supervisor.

Installation works shall be inspected for conformance to project


electrical specifications.

The inspection formats shall be used in accordance with the


requirements of the main contractor.

An inspection request for the PVC & GI conduits and boxes shall be
submitted one day prior to the consultant.
