INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE<br />

Electricity on Construction Sites 121<br />

The larger installations invariably have a resident electrical supervisor who should<br />

compile an ongoing maintenance programme to be implemented at frequent intervals.<br />

Liaison with constructional management enables this operation to be effected<br />

during <strong>of</strong>f-peak periods. The preventive maintenance includes checking cable terminations<br />

and glands for security, cables above ground for possible mechanical<br />

damage and lack <strong>of</strong> support, rcd operation, and weatherpro<strong>of</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> distribution<br />

equipment and socket outlets.<br />

Smaller installations which do not have resident electrical personnel require<br />

frequent visits to effect the foregoing checks.<br />

Maintenance records should be kept and completed regularly giving details <strong>of</strong><br />

tests carried out and readings achieved.
