Manhole and duct system will be tied into GATR building through the Junction Box at the rear of the building.

3.1.5.2. The current GATR site has an existing stainless steel junction box with polyphasers for lightning protection that connects to the demolished NW LTO inverted cone and SPIRA-CONE® antennas. There are 4 each 4” PVC pipes already installed from the base of the junction box and stubbed out underground. The two pipes on the right are connected to the East SPIRA-CONE® and the West LTO antenna. The 2 pipes on the left are stubbed off below ground and are connected to the demolished East LTO antenna and the West SPIRA-CONE®. Contractor shall replace these with new runs out to at least a 4’X5’X4’ concrete hand-hole. Hand-hole should be placed far enough from the building to provide straight runs to the East and West SPIRA-CONE® antennas.

The two runs of four inch (4”) duct will continue on to the West SPIRA-CONE® and the two runs of five inch duct shall continue on to the West LTO antenna location where the new SPIRA-CONE® antenna will be installed. Conduits shall be new 4” or 5” (schedule 40 or better) PVC or HDPE conduits to house the RF cable runs.

3.1.5.2.1. New Maintenance Holes/Hand-holes: Maintenance holes installed shall have an American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) rating of H-20 or equivalent. Unless otherwise stated, HHs shall have a minimum interior dimension of 4’W x 5’L x 4’H. New Hand-holes shall have a self-latching torsion assisted full-opening diamond plate stainless steel 2-piece lid. Hand holes shall be furnished with cable rack hardware, pulling irons, a sump, water resistance gaskets, bonding ribbon and a grounding system. HHs shall meet the requirements of TIA-758-B, paragraph 5.2.2.

Prefabricated HHs are preferred.

3.1.5.2.2. It is understood that some Maintenance Holes are precast with bonding ribbons or some similar connection, to the maintenance hole rebar and therefore do not require a ground rod. This method of grounding in lieu of a ground rod is satisfactory just as long as the achieved impedance to ground is twenty five (25) ohms or less.

3.1.5.2.3. HH shall be installed so that they are reasonably level on a gravel bed of 6 inches to allow drainage of water from the walls. The gravel bed should extend 8 inches to 12 inches beyond the outer edges of the MH/HH. MH/HH covers shall be labeled with 1/8” raised letters stating “COMMUNICATIONS”. Maintenance holes shall be stenciled on the inside with a number designated to the contractor by 325CS.

3.1.5.3. Underground Conduit System: The Contractor shall be responsible for any required trenching and/or boring necessary to lay the duct system. Contractor is also responsible for backfilling ditch lines and compaction of fill materials with appropriate compaction tools. Provide a minimum of 12" cover of clean fill above the conduit. Backfill material shall be clean and free from all organic material, clay, marl or unstable materials, debris, lumps, or broken paving. No rocks or stones larger than 3 inches in diameter shall be allowed in backfill. Material for backfill may be material resulting from excavation, if it meets the above requirements.

3.1.5.3.1. Composition: All new ducts shall be corrosion resistant and 4-inch inside diameter (I.D.)

round or metric equivalent or 5” as specified for runs to the new SPIRA-CONE® antenna. HDPE will be installed instead of PVC for all new conduit/duct runs unless PVC is required for compatibility with existing materials. When possible, new ducts shall be made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) SIDR 11.5.

Schedule 80 shall be limited to risers. The ducts shall be appropriately labeled indicating the composition material. Ducts shall have a sleeve or bell end type coupling and shall be watertight when assembled

3.1.5.3.2. Installation: Installation of underground conduits/ducts shall be IAW RUS Bulletin 1751F-643 and RUS Bulletin 1753F-151. In maintenance holes (MH) with knockouts, conduits shall start at the bottom knockout, allowing for upward future expansion. All conduits not installed beneath roads, sidewalks, parking areas, etc. shall have a minimum of 36 inches of ground cover, wherever possible.

The Contractor shall provide other protective measures (at least a 4” pre-mixed concrete cap, etc.), in those areas where the minimum ground cover cannot be achieved. Grading of ducts shall be accomplished IAW RUS Bulletin 1751F-643. Do not allow the ducts to twist or tangle between Maintenance holes.

3.1.5.3.3. Utility Separation: When communications ducts cross either power duct or buried power cable, maintain a minimum separation of three (3) inches of concrete or twelve (12) inches of well-tamped earth between the two. When parallel maintain two (2) inches of concrete or twelve (12) inches of well tamped earth between the two. For pipes (e.g., gas, water, oil) maintain six inches when crossing or twelve (12) inches when parallel.

3.1.5.3.4. Spacers and Tracer Wire: Along the length of the duct run, if the ducts are installed by trenching, spacers shall be placed at an interval of four (4) spacers per twenty (20) feet. At least one (1) conduit, inner-duct or roll pipe in each duct bank shall have tracer wire or be otherwise locatable from the surface. All new tracer wire installed for this project needs to have a wire nut and label installed at all wire ends, and those wire ends secured but not connected to grounds. The tracer wire shall be exposed; free from the conduit and capped (insulated). The tracer shall be secured and routed to the maintenance hole or hand-hole neck to a point where maintenance personnel may access the wire without having to enter the maintenance hole/hand-hole, and tagged with a label so indicating it as a “Duct Tracer Wire to xxx – Do Not Remove (where xxx is the other end of the wire).” Tracer wires shall not be connected to any grounding system. Tracer wire shall be pulled back from building entrances until it is underground to prevent lightning damage. Tracer shall have 1-foot of slack protruding into the maintenance hole, tagged with to/from designators and fasten to Maintenance hole wall 3-inches below lid opening.

3.1.5.3.5. Warning tape: Cable warning tape shall be buried one (1) foot below the surface and shall follow the duct/buried cable route. The tape shall be a minimum of three inches wide and orange in color with the appropriate warning message.

3.1.5.4. Entrance Conduits into Existing Manholes: When new entrance conduits/ducts or sleeves are required, and knockouts do not exist, the Contractor shall core and install the necessary holes to install the ducts or sleeves. The precise location of new cores will be coordinated with 325CS/SCX. Penetration shall not be in such a location through the wall as to block use of existing ducts in the maintenance hole and must not block other infrastructure. Terminators shall be installed and secured in the openings to prevent conduits from detaching and allowing water or debris into the infrastructure. Each new conduit shall enter a MH perpendicular to the surface of the wall through which it is entering and be flush with the interior wall of the maintenance hole or vault. New cores for conduits will be a minimum of eighteen (18) inches from either the manhole floor or ceiling, if practical. The minimum bending radius for entry conduit/ducts shall be no less than ten (10) times the inside diameter of the conduit. Ducts and openings around ducts shall be sealed to prevent moisture from entering the manholes

3.1.5.5. The Contractor shall label all equipment and cables they install IAW ANSI/TIA-606-B and as directed by 325CS/SCXP. All tags shall be permanently labeled, easily visible and corrosion resistant. Install cable tags in all maintenance holes/handholes and Junction Box locations.

When cables pass through a maintenance hole, put a tag on the cable, approximately 2 feet from each duct entrance. Information on the cable tag shall identify cable by size, type, and cable number. The same information shall appear on the Contractor’s completed as-built-drawings.
