schedule 40 conduit. It is understood that some Maintenance Holes are precast with bonding ribbons or some similar connection, to the manhole 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. MHs/HHs shall be of concrete construction and meet the requirements of TIA -758B, paragraphs 5.2.1 and/or 5.2.2. Polymer concrete (i.e., Quazite) construction is NOT authorized.

Prefabricated MHs/HHs are preferred. MH/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”.

2.2.1.8 Cable Racks and Cable Rack Supports. N/A

At a minimum, grade of PVC conduit at open trench paved surface crossings, or crossings which are planned for paving in the future, shall be Schedule 40 and shall be concrete encased. If horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is used, then it will be in compliance with commonly accepted telecommunications industry standards and practices relative to the installation, stabilization, and protection of conduits through a bore under a paved surface. The decision whether to trench (cut and patch) across or horizontal directionally drill under paved surfaces is at the discretion of the BCE and will be made on a case-by-case basis

2.2.1.10.4 Bends and Sealing. N/A

All bends between MHs/HHs shall be a minimum of ten times (10X) the diameter of the duct size (i.e., 4 inch duct = 40 inches) with the sum of bends in all directions not exceeding a total of 90 degrees where practical.

2.2.1.10.9 Conduit Protection.

The Contactor shall install the appropriate physical protection required [(concrete encasement, steel tube (casing)] for buried PVC conduits or HDPE Roll pipe, consistent with commonly accepted telecommunications industry practices relative to the task and to the environment in which they are installed and the loads (H-5, H-10, H-20, railroads, flight line, etc.) to which they are expected to be exposed. Type of protection may be dependent upon the specific application and shall be IAW applicable federal, state or local (Malmstrom AFB Civil Engineering construction requirements) procedures. However, at a minimum, nonmetallic conduits shall be encased in concrete of minimum 3000 lb. /in2 compressive strength where vehicular traffic is above the pathway. The encasement shall be concrete of a wet type mix and shall be placed in such a manner as to ensure the concrete completely surrounds all conduits and no air voids are trapped in the mix a bend or sweep is placed in PVC nonmetallic duct bank between maintenance holes, the duct bank must be encased in concrete with a minimum compressive strength of 3000 pounds per square inch (psi).
