Trenchless Excavation

Where appropriate, trenchless excavation shall be considered as a viable option when installing underground cable. Application of this option shall always employ the cable being laid in a suitable and approved duct as shown below.

All ducting used in trenchless excavation shall be solid wall circular section duct (SDR-11) as specified in ENA-TS 12-24 – ‘Plastic Ducts for Buried Electric Cables 2008’and NPS/002/003 – ‘Technical Specification for Protective Tile, Tile Tape and Cable Ducting’ and all cables require advanced warning and this will normally be in the form of an embossed black duct compliant with ENA-TS 12-24 – ’Plastic Ducts for Buried Electric Cables 2008’.

Open Cut Trench

*Assumes twin wall ducting. All others are single smooth wall design.

All sizes for ducts installed in open trenches are nominal diameter measurement and should have tile tape or tile board installed above the cables / ducts ensuring an overlap of 50mm either side of the cable(s)/duct(s).

Cables in the range 230V to 20kV shall be laid under tile tape positioned 150mm directly above the top of the uppermost cable / duct and 33kV to 132kV shall be laid under tile boards positioned 75mm directly above the top of the uppermost cable / duct with each tile board shall be closely interlocked with adjacent covers throughout the length of the cable.

All ducting used in open trench excavation shall be used as part of cable installation works shall be as specified in NPS/002/003 – ‘Technical Specification for Protective Tile, Tile Tape and Cable Ducting’.

Cables installed for future jointing to existing cables shall be adequately overlapped to allow easier jointing.
