Electrical installation shall conform to FAA Specifications, CEI 64-8 and requirements specified herein. Underground electrical work shall be as specified in Section 16303 UNDERGROUND TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION

LINES.

3.1.1 Electrical Metallic Tubing

Do not install underground or encase in concrete.

Unless otherwise specified, provide 20.67 MPa concrete for below grade and 27.56 MPa concrete for above grade use with 25 mm maximum aggregate.

3.3 AIRFIELD MANHOLES

Provide as specified in Section 16303 UNDERGROUND TRANSMISSION AND

DISTRIBUTION LINES

3.4 EARTHWORK

Provide excavation, backfilling, and reconditioning of surfaces as specified in Section 16303 UNDERGROUND TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION

LINES.

3.5 GROUNDING

DISTRIBUTION LINES.

3.6 CABLE MARKERS

Provide cable markers or tags for each cable at duct entrances entering or leaving manholes or handholes and at each termination within the lighting vault. Tag cables in each manhole or handhole with not less than two tags per cable, one near each duct entrance hole. Immediately after cable installation, permanently attach tags to cables and wires so that they cannot be accidentally detached.

3.7 FLUSH AIRFIELD LIGHTS

Remove water, debris, and other foreign substances prior to installing flush light base and light.

Section 16531 35

3.8 WIRES, FIXTURES, AND ENCLOSURES IN SAW KERFS OR DRILLED HOLES

Sealant is specified in paragraph entitled "Sealing Fixtures and Wires in

Drilled Holes or Saw Kerfs."

3.8.1 Holes for Light Fixtures

Bore holes in pavement to dimensions indicated. Use a diamond-edged bit to provide a smooth, straight cut. Bottom of hole shall be flat or slightly concave, except that an area at least 25 mm wide around the perimeter shall be flat. Fill surfaces deeper than the prescribed depth with sealant to the level of the flat area and allow to cure before further placement.

3.8.2 Holes for Transformer Enclosures

Drill holes through concrete pavement and remove loose material. Fill hole with concrete to depth indicated. Provide a minimum of 75 mm of concrete at bottom of hole.

3.8.3 Cleaning

Immediately prior to installation of wire or light fixtures, flush saw kerfs and holes with a high velocity water jet or steam, and clean and dry with a high velocity air jet to remove dirt and foreign material.

3.8.4 Lighting Fixture Installation

Sandblast sides and bottom of each light fixture immediately prior to installation. Cover inside faces of bored hole and bottom and sides of light fixture with a coating of sealant that will completely fill the void between concrete and fixture. Use a jig or holding device for installing each light fixture to ensure positioning to the proper elevation, alignment, level control, and azimuth control. Orient light fixture with light beam parallel to flight deck centerline or runway centerline and facing in the particular direction required. Level outermost edge of fixture with the surrounding pavement. Remove surplus sealant or flexible embedding material. Leave the holding device in place until sealant has reached its initial set. Properly arrange fixture lead wires with respect to their connecting position. Block the wire way entrance into the light recess to retain the sealant material during curing.

3.8.5 Installation of Circuit Wires in Pavement

Place the wires in saw kerfs and anchor at bottom by means of rubber or plastic wedges or noncorrosive metal clips placed every 610 or 915 mm or as often as necessary to hold the wire down. Where wires cross existing joints, encase wires in a 305 mm length of flexible tubing of polyethylene material to break the bond between the wires and the sealing material. Provide tubing centered on the joint and of sufficient size to accommodate the wires to allow for movement of the wires as the joint opens and closes. Wrap ends of tubing with tape to prevent entrance of sealing materials. Pack the adjacent joint area temporarily with roving material, such as hemp, jute, cotton or flax, to prevent sealing material from flowing into the open joint. Carefully mix and apply sealing materials in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and at the recommended temperature. Remove surplus or spilled material.

Section 16531 36

3.9 SPLICES FOR AIRFIELD LIGHTING CABLE

3.9.1 Connectors

Use kit type connectors to splice 5 kV single-conductor series lighting cables. During installation and prior to covering with earth, keep mating surfaces of connectors covered until connected and clean when plugged together. At joint where connectors come together, install heat shrinkable tubing with waterproof sealant. Alternately, the Contractor may provide two half lapped layers of tape over the entire joint. Joint shall prevent entrapment of air which might subsequently loosen the joint.

3.9.2 Splicing Fixtures to the Wires in Pavement Saw Kerfs

Make splices with preinsulated watertight connector sleeves crimped with a tool that requires a complete crimp before tool can be removed.

3.10 GROUNDING SYSTEMS

3.10.1 Counterpoise Installation

Lay counterpoise wire for entire length of circuits supplying airfield lighting.
