Safety Officer is the custodian of the HSE procedure. He is to assist and monitor
supervision compliance with the procedures.
6.0 PROCEDURE : CABLE INSTALLATION:
6.1 GENERAL:
Apply for appropriate PTW and Work Start.
All cable Drums received at laydown area/site shall be inspected, handled and stored
properly. All drums will be continuity and insulation tested prior to going to site.
Inspection and Testing of cable continuity & insulation shall be conducted by the site
Engineer / Supervisor, prior to taking off the cable drum.
Verification of inspection, checklists and test shall be JEC QC witnessed, recorded
and signed and witnessed by SNC-LAVALIN / CPY QC.

METHOD STATEMENT
ELECTRICAL AND INSTRUMENT CABLE INSTALLATION
No cable shall be bent to radius less than the manufacturer’s recommendation as
defined in their catalogue or on the relevant data sheet.
The minimum spacing between instrument and power cables, as defined in
QATALUM Specifications for Instrument Installations shall be strictly adhered to.
Any deviation/exceptions to the requirements of the project specifications and
drawings will require prior approval by JEC/SNC-LAVALIN and Company via an
officially issued field design change.
6.2 CABLE INSTALLATION
The site supervisor shall ensure that the individual cable lengths are taken from the
designated drum using the cable drum schedule.
Cables shall be identified properly according to engineering documents.
Cable tagging to be as per installation drawings.
Throughout the cable pulling process, the Site Supervisor shall ensure that is not
exposed to mechanical, physical damage. Where instrument signal cables are run in
parallel with power carrying cables, ensure that segregation shall be maintained in
accordance with project specification and drawings.
Where instrument cables cross power carrying cables, ensure that they shall be
arranged to do so at right angles and minimum spacing shall be in accordance with
project specification and drawings.
Where instrument and power carrying cables are run in the same trench, the run shall
be inspected to ensure separation is as per typical installation of cables.
Ensure that on completion of lying, individual cable lengths are re-tested for
resistance and insulation resistance as per ITP witnessed and recorded by JEC QC
and witnessed by SNC-LAVALIN / CPY QC.
Where cables must be installed on cable trays, cable trays must be installed complete
before pulling cables except with prior approval of SNC-LAVALIN.
