drawings.
d. Cable containment shall be completed prior to cable installation. Draw the cables
into containment for installation of larger diameter cables rollers would be placed at
strategic location to ease the process.
e. If cables are to be jointed, then the manufacture recommended jointing kit and
methods are to be strictly adhered too.
f.

In the event of joints being unavoidable, such joints shall conform to the
