2 GENERAL

2.1 Scope
2.1.1 This specification covers the minimum standards and requirements for the
construction, of precast Mini-Manholes (Mini-MH) and Handholes (HH) to be
supplied to SEC Distribution for the construction of Medium Voltage (MV) and
telecom underground networks infrastructure.
2.1.2 This standard is subject to revision as new materials and methods of construction
are developed. The latest revision of this standard shall be applicable. The date
and version/revision of the latest issue of each sheet is printed at the top corner
above the standard number.

2.2 Intended Use


2.2.1 Precast MINI-MHs & HH are used as an access point for an underground MV
and fiber-based telecom network infrastructure, allowing inspection,
maintenance, and system upgrades of Distribution MV power and fiber network
infrastructure. Precast MINI-MH & HH will be installed in open trench as per
the technical specification set in the OSP infrastructure implementation
guidelines.
2.2.2 The Precast MINI-MH & HH are interconnected with ducts, and are used to
house MV and Telecom network elements such as MV power cables, splicing
joint closure (JCL), Fiber Access Terminal (FAT), and fiber cables installation.
2.2.3 The specifications cover the design and technical specifications for the following
structure type (Precast MINI-MH and HH):
2.2.4 There are two types of structures:
a) Precast Mini-MANHOLE Single Round Cover Hinges Type
b) Precast HANDHOLE Type 1: Double Covers with Hinges
c) Precast HANDHOLE Type 2: Single Cover

2.3 Long Term Performance Requirements

2.3.1 The Precast MINI-MH & HH and their accessories supplied in compliance with
this specification shall be capable of withstanding the typical service conditions
of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for a period of Thirty (30) years without any
degradation.
2.3.2 The Precast MINI-MH & HH shall be designed, manufactured by high quality
materials only and “packaged” so that the storing, installation, operation and
maintenance, characteristics shall not degrade when exposed to the environmental
conditions of Saudi Arabia. The environmental conditions of Saudi Arabia may
include ambient air temperature variations from -10C to +85C.
