Following are some of the key points that enable you to understand the document's real content for this METHOD STATEMENT FOR BUILDING WIRES INSTALLATION when it comes to building wire installation, here are some key points to keep in mind:

Follow local building codes and regulations: Before starting any wiring installation, make sure to familiarize yourself with the local building codes and regulations in your area. This will help ensure that your wiring is safe and up to code.

Use the right type of wire: There are many different types of wire available, each designed for specific applications. Make sure you use the right type of wire for the job at hand. This will help ensure that your wiring is safe and reliable.

Choose the right gauge: The gauge of wire you use will depend on the amperage of the circuit and the length of the wire run. Using the wrong gauge wire can result in electrical fires, so be sure to choose the right gauge for the job.

Use the right tools: When installing wiring, it's important to use the right tools for the job. This will help ensure that your wiring is installed correctly and safely. Some of the tools you may need include wire strippers, wire cutters, pliers, and screwdrivers.

Plan the wiring layout: Before starting the installation, take the time to plan out the wiring layout. This will help ensure that you have enough wire, that the wiring is neat and organized, and that you can easily access the wiring if needed.

Use proper cable management techniques: Proper cable management is important for preventing electrical fires and ensuring that your wiring is neat and organized. Use cable ties, conduits, and other cable management tools to keep you’re wiring in order.

Test the wiring: Once the wiring is installed, it's important to test it to make sure it's working properly. Use a circuit tester to check for any shorts or other issues before turning the power back on.

6.2. Building wires shall be stacked in one area. Sizes and Colors shall be segregated from each other.

6.3. Building wires shall be properly protected.

7.0. PRE-INSTALLATION

7.1. All materials and documentation relevant to this particular section of works will be checked by the Construction Department before the commencement of works ensuring that these are approved and correct type.

7.2. Before any permanent works will proceed, pre-inspection on access for installation is to be carried out by the concerned staff.

7.3. Ensure that proper access to execute the works is in a suitable condition and free from obstruction.

7.4. Check the tools to be used for wire pulling such as ladders, wires, and scaffoldings are available on-site and in good condition.

8.0. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

It is presumed that conduits and trunking installation have been completed before starting this work.

8.1. Clear boxes from any foreign materials.

8.2. Check all embedded conduits from blockage. If there are blockages, clear the blockages before start pulling the wires.

8.3. Provision of pull boxes shall be provided whenever the route of the wires exceeds more than 2 consecutive 90 degrees bends.

8.4. Scaffoldings and Ladders to be used during installation shall be erected properly to ensure the safety of people working on them.

8.5. Prepare wires for pulling. Make sure that the wires are properly marked.

8.6. Pull wires on the conduits and trunkings. Proper care shall be exercised when pulling the wires. Only approved pulling compound to be used if required. When there are more than one conductor is used for phase, each phase, and neutral ground wires shall be run in the same conduit. Wires shall be continuous from outlet to outlet and no splices shall be made except within the outlets or junction boxes. Different phases shall not be drawn in one conduit.

8.7. Connect the wires in the outlet boxes using plastic connectors to ensure the continuity of wires during testing. Ensure the connection is correct. Continuity test shall be conducted in the presence of the Consultant for their acceptance using a Multimeter.

8.8. A space factor of 35% shall be provided in the trunkings.

9.0. INSPECTION

After the installation of power cables in a certain area, a request for inspection shall be raised for the consultant's approval.
