No. External Work Status Remarks All the following activities are to be checked during and after fixing and installing all the work related to external area (Contractor should be notified by the following):
1 Before starting any activity outside the plot or outside the building/villa. Instruct the Contractor to submit coordination DRW for approval.
2 Coordination DRW for external work should include all the following, taking in consideration approval from Authority or any other related during design.
a) Routing of all cable or any other services like (drainage pipe/water supply pipe/fire fighting pipe/power supply cable [HV,LV]/telephone system cable/data system cable [BMS]/low current system cable [MATV, CCTV, gate barrier, I/C system etc.]/AC system pipe [CHW piping]).
b) Final location of all following activities. (External SMATV DBs and MDUs/Control panel/feeder pillar/external lighting pool etc.) to be cleared and decided.
3 Installation of duct a) Before starting installation of duct, make sure the size and type of duct is as per approval from Consultant and Authority, also all accessories like bends or coupler should be factory made.
b) All underground ducts should be installed above all water pipes.
c) All duct and conduits running externally crossing road is to be covered by concrete layer.
d) Extra pipe/duct between main electrical room and outside the plot/building/villa for Authority requirements or any other services in the future like mobile generator, external light etc. to be considered.
e) For external road corridor. Complete coordination with all sub-contractors for electrical (power cable)/plumbing (drainage and water supply pipe)/telephone system (cable for telephone or data)/low current system (MATV/CCTV)/A/C system

(CHW piping etc.). f) Check all road crossing sleeve are available as per Authority, DEWA, SEWA, Civil Defense, Etisalat and DU requirements and other system and to be covered by concrete encasement and to provide 6mm nylon rope for pulling in future.
g) Prior to placing the duct, the bed should be cleaned from dirt and other construction debris.
h) Once the ducts are laid, inspected and cleaned from particles of earth, sand or gravel, both ends of the duct are to be capped with proper cap.
i) Finishing floor level for pavement around the building and corridors should be clear to provide all sleeve in between at right level.
4 Any areas equipped by electrical equipments should not be covered by any type of plants/trees for easy future maintenance and the routing of landscaping. Water pipe should be routed far as much as possible from all electrical services.
5 Manholes a) All PVC wires, FAS cables, BMS wire and data wire etc. passing inside manholes should be protected by using flex conduit and sealed from both ends with foam.
b) All openings around the ARM cable passing inside duct to manhole should be sealed from both end of the duct with foam.
c) Contractor to provide pesticide inside the manhole so that rodents will not damage the wire/cable
d) Provide extra sleeves with different sizes for future (close it by foam or cap to avoid insects or reptile entry).
e) Manholes should be protected against water to prevent any water leakage inside it and accordingly affecting the wires/data wire signals.
6 External light a) Mode of operation should be clear and approved by Client/Consultant.
b) Final location of control panels (service DB/FPL) for external light should be away from water and

enclosure should be IP65 with canopy and ventilated. c) Submittal for lighting fixture should clear the following (final location/height of the type of paint and colors/shape etc.) and to be approved by ARC ENG/Electrical Eng/Client.
d) In case lighting pole includes cut out/fuse all internal wires between fuse and fitting should be included and rated 105c.
e) In case lighting projector uses W/P JB (terminal box) and flexible cable inside G.I. flex conduit.
f) Calculation from supplier for elimination. g) Earthing system to be clear. h) Calculation for voltage drop for all circuit. i) Workshop DRW should clear for final location with dimension for spacing between lighting fixtures/routing of cable/control panel location (DB service or FPL).
6 Earthing system Coordination with Civil is required to get report of soil resistivity in order to decide type and way of connection for earthing system for (substation, feeder pillars, kWh meter, external light, gate house, MATV, pump room, swimming pool, lake, water feature and CCTV).
a) Connect ECC to foundation steel for lightning protection.
b) Make sure that the earthing system electrode bar is reached to water level.
c) Normal earthing due to soil resistivity result. d) Distance between more than one earth electrode bar should not be less than 6m.
7 External activity (general) a) All external temporary cables should be inside duct and to be removed after completion of the project.
b) All external activities/control panel/DB/ disconnecting switch/feeder pillar etc. to be IP 65 and with canopy.
c) In all GI boxes, junction box in external areas and all conduit should be connected to the box from the top

or side to avoid water dropping in the conduit. d) For landscaping area which is electrically served check that the load is covered in the schematic diagram DRW.
e) Protection and label for underground cable should be arranged (cable banks/warning tapes/PVC tile/concrete cover and all other mean necessary for protection).
