CABLING WORKS
1. Pre-installation Activities
1. Prior to cable laying/pulling, ensure that the cable trench, duct bank,
raceway, cable tray and conduit installation was inspected and
approved to ensure the routing was completed, clean and free from
foreign objects and debris and sweet sand has been installed.
2. Ensure that all relevant documents have been approved by Saudi
Aramco prior to commencing cable installation, and that the latest
revision of IFC drawings, specifications including approved procedures
are disseminated to concerned personnel who will carry out the work.
3. Ensure that all wires and cables to be transported from warehouse /
lay down area to the working area comply with the project
specifications.
4. Check materials for damage before transporting to the work area. All
materials of doubtful condition or quality shall be immediately
segregated from the job site. An NCR must be raise, the materials
shall not be use and sent to quarantine.
5. Ensure that Insulation Resistance & Continuity test (on reel test) has been
performed for all cable drums prior to cable pulling. Installed cables
shall also be tested after cable laying.
6. Secure work permit for cable pulling / installation and another
associated works, if required.
7. Ensure Safety Barriers are erected at designated work areas.
8. Check and confirm actual proposed routing against approved
construction drawings.
9. For aboveground cable pulling, ensure adequate scaffold ladders and
access ways are available at the work location.
10. Check all the materials in the presence of QC with proper
communication.
11. Check cable schedule against actual requirements prior to cutting.
Identify cable reel assignment.
12. Verify the maximum cable pulling tension which cable can take
before starting the cable pulling.

Cable Installation Activities
1. Position the cable rollers on cable tray and trench to which the cable will
be pulled / routed. Secure these rollers along the entire length of the cable
tray /trenches with spacing of at least 1.5 meters for easy pull.
2. After all routing and destination was cleared and verified, set up the cable
reels in establish pulling points, mark one end of cable by writing the
correct cable number base on the cable schedule using a permanent
marker, then wrap it with clear tape. Do the same to the other end of the
cable after cutting.
3. Install adequate temporary scaffold to be used as support of cable rollers
for easy movement of cable from the cable reel stand location up to the
cable tray.
4. Pull the cable in the cable tray / trenches to its intended equipment.
5. Post personnel at the drum location to assist the turning of the drum when
while pulling is in progress.
6. Throughout the cable pulling process the Instrument Supervisor ensures
that undue stress is not applied to the cable.
7. Ensure the minimum bending radius of cable during pulling / routing as per
project requirements.
8. Bending radius shall not exceed cable manufacturer recommended
values. Bend is free from deformities.
9. Where cables of different voltage levels/service are run in parallel,
segregation is in accordance with SAES-P-104, SAES-J-902 Section 14.1
through 14.2 or IFC Drawing.
10. Cables are identified at each end at every splice and junction box.
11. Pull cable and wires into the conduits or cable ducts by rope with basket
grip with the application of pulling compound to prevent damage to cable
insulation.
12. After the cable are pulled to its intended equipment, ample allowance
must be provided prior of cutting these cables. Tape the cutting end with a
rubber tape then followed by plastic tape to prevent moisture and dirt until
such time glanding and termination will be performed. Total length of each
installed cable should be recorded.
13. Power and control cables laid in tray shall be fixed with cable ties and
protected with fire seal or fireproofed materials when entering Substation,
PIB and AFD.
14. Power and control cables laid in trench shall be filled with sweet sand /
selected fill materials whichever is required.
15. Install cable identification tags for cables pulled in trench, duct banks,
cable trays and in conduits as specified in the construction drawings and
specifications.
16. Post type surface markers are installed for unpaved areas. Permanent
surface markers are installed for paved areas.
17. Following confirmation of cable pulling, submit “Request for Inspection”
(RFI) to site QC Section, indicating scheduled time and date for
inspection.

Cable Laying Methods
Laying by Hands:
1.
1.
1. Laying by Hand – Cable rollers placed at distances of between 3 to
4m laying easier.
2. Corner rollers or similar devices should be provided at any bend in
the route, always maintaining the minimum bending radii of the
cable. If the cable is not guided by rollers it must be guided by
hand.
3. The men supporting the cable should be spaced at between 4 to
6m along the cable.
Routing Requirements of Instrument and Control Cables and Data Highways
1. Aboveground Routing – Armored Cable and Tray:
a) Cable tray supporting armored cables extending between field instruments
and junction boxes shall be ventilated bottom, channel cable tray.
d) The cable shall be either galvanized steel wire armor or galvanized steel
interlocking armor, per 34-SAMSS-913.
