INTRODUCTION
This standard specifies the design, and installation practices to be applied in the construction
of MV and LV cable of underground distribution system.
It is intended to assist the engineers and field personnel to achieve standardization in
construction and to ensure a satisfactory and economical level of service without operating
restrictions so that the operational errors should be minimum for safety and reliability.
No.01-SDMS-01.
DEFINITIONS
Ultimate strength is the maximum load which a material will sustain when the load is
gradually increased until the rupture or failure takes place.
RIGHT-OF-WAY
If required by the local authority, the right-of-way (R-O-W) for the proposed route of an
underground cable must be obtained from the concerned authority (e.g. municipality,
Page 4 of 52
SDCS-02
DATE: MAY 2005G
ministry of communication) during engineering stage of the project. Given below is the
procedure to be followed in obtaining R-O-W:
Prepare R-O-W drawing proposed showing proposed route of the underground cable,
cross-section of the trench or duct bank (if required ) and location of other utilities (e.g.
telephone, water, sewer) lines along proposed route (if known).
Submit R-O-W drawing to the relations section in the concerned operating area.
The actual construction work shall not be started until the digging permit from relevant
authorities is obtained.
Standard R-O-W locations for underground utilities in streets of new areas have been
developed by the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs in coordination with the Ministry
of Communications and the ministries having authority over the concerned utilities.

Being the most economical way, direct earth buried cable laying has been standardized
except where the cable route intersects road, street and other utility mains. The major
activities associated with direct buried cable installation are trench excavation, cable laying,
are described in the following sections. Fig. 1 through 6 is trench constructions for direct
buried cable.
Trench Excavation
Before proceeding with actual work of trench excavation, following preparations
should be completed:
Review the cable route drawings, R-O-W drawings, digging permit, and inspect the
cable route from end to end.

Decide locating where cable drums shall be unloaded at site, keeping in view the
be made not closer than 10 meters from edge of any street intersections.
Obtain necessary permissions from the traffic police for the work schedule,
digging permit.

6.1.2 Excavation
In deciding at what depth the trench should be excavated, it is necessary to take into
consideration the changes being made in the existing grade level by any earth cut or fill
work to be carried out later. Such information should be gathered from the Ministry of
communications or municipality so that ultimately the standard depth of cable can be
achieved.
Trenches may be dug by hand or, if site conditions permit, a mechanical excavator can
be used. Asphalt shall be cut by a motor driven saw. Manual digging shall be used at
locations where existing underground facilities are encountered. Existing facilities
uncovered during excavation shall be protected, shored, braced and supported, as
necessary. All protective covers, warning tapes, position markers, etc., pertaining to
existing underground utilities shall be preserved during excavation and restored in
position during backfilling.

SOIL CLASSIFICATION:
The soils are classified according to the A. B. Chance test probe method. The chance test
probe is a mechanical tool to identify soil in a simple and quick way from the earth surface
without core samples. To find out the soil bearing capacity the soil test probe is screwed into
the soil. As it displaces the soil, probe torque readings are measured in inch-pounds on a
torque gauge. The torque values obtained are translated into soil classification using the
Page 19 of 52

chance Soil Classification Data chart. The table below shows the soil classification as per A.
B. Chance method and the relevant SEC soil classification to be followed.
