................................................................. .................................................................
Page 101 of 109
testing of all water supply pipework installed within the site. Upon receipt, the MC must
immediately issue the chlorination /pressure test results to the water authority, who will
then make the final connection within 14 days (subject to agreement of test results). If for
any reason the final inspection is not made within this timescale, the pipework will have
to be re-chlorinated at no cost to Lidl.
On sites where contamination has been identified within the site investigation report, the
MC should allow for the supply and installation of copper or specific contamination-
resistant barrier pipework. Refer to Site Investigation Report for confirmation of suitable
material for the water supply pipework.
If a fire hydrant is required within the site, the MC must appoint a suitably qualified sub-

feeding this into the Utility Room via the duct (EATS 24 compliant black rigi-duct) installed
a suitably sized switched fuse and tails within the floor (by the MC). It is the MCs
responsibility to make arrangements to install the cable-head and CT panel onto the
plywood backing panel mounted on the wall.
................................................................. .................................................................
Page 102 of 109
Note: The network provider may not be obliged to carry out any works if there is
scaffolding on the building, particularly in the vicinity of the Utility Room. It is the
responsibility of the MC to ensure that this does not lead to delays.
It is the MCs responsibility to install the mains-switch and earth-bar within the Utility
Room. This should be installed adjacent to the proposed cable-head location, prior to the
electrical supply authority arriving on site to commence works. The Lidl approved mains
switch must be installed by a NICEIC approved contractor, with an installation certificate
available on site. It is the responsibility of the MC to ensure that the mains switch and
tails are designed and sized to suit the capacity of the electrical supply for the store.
The electrical meter is generally installed at a later date, and by a different company from
that which installs the cable-head. The Lidl Senior Consultant Construction (SCC) is
responsible for applying for the electrical meter, and will provide the MC with the contact
details so that they can arrange the meter installation date.
Note it can take 3 weeks or more for the meter to be installed by Lidls electrical shipper.
