1.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this document is to outline a strategy for the execution and installation of
the 60MVA 132KV/33KV Transformer, donated by RIVERS STATE GOVERNMENT
construction of switch yards and control buildings at Afam Power Station.
This will enable an integrated approach towards the execution of the project, so that the
Procurement, Construction, installation and commissioning phases of the Project will be
performed within the outline Project schedule, at the right quality and cost.

1.1 PROJECT OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this project is to provide electricity to some Rivers state
communities (Ogoni, Oyibo etc) by way of connecting the communities with High
Voltage (33KV) Transmission Line from Afam Power station facilities, thereby ensuring
power availability in the communities and also achieves interdependency between the
communities and Afam Power station Transmission facility.

2.0 BACKGROUND

The Rivers state Communities Electrification Project was borne out of the Sustainable
Community Development Policy & Objectives of the Government to supply electricity to
the citizenry.
The preliminary & detailed engineering design for the installation of the 60MVA
132KV/33KV Transformer and HV transmission line to the communities is on going.

3.0 SUMMARY WORKSCOPE

The project proposal is to install a 60MVA 132KV/33KV Transformer(to be

provided by the RVSG) , construct 132kv Switchyard, install 2nos 132kv Control
panels, construct a 33kv Switch yard(2nos bus bars circuits with 5nos 33kv
outdoors breakers), install 33kv control panels (Incomer, bus section and 3
outgoings and install Tripping units with Batteries in the existing 33kv Control
building.

4.0 DETAILD SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work shall include, but not limited to the following.

4.1 PRELIMINARY WORKS

4.1.1 Removal of old and disused materials/ equipment

Identify the old and disused materials at site, such as the Transformer fins, Gantries,
burnt Circuit breaker, insulators etc and remove them from the area for the 132KV
Switch yard

4.1.2 Cable Excavation works

Excavate 120m of cable trench of the paved area from the 132kv Switch yard to the 33kv
Control room. The trenches shall be at least 850mm deep(for 600/1000volt cables) and
1m deep for H.V cables
Excavate 40m of cable trench of the paved area from the 132kv Switch yard to the 132kv
Control room The trenches shall be at least 850mm deep(for 600/1000volt cables) and
1m deep for H.V cables
Laying of cables on the excavated Trenches. Note that instrument systems and
Telecommunication cables shall not be laid in the same trenches used by H.V and/or L.V
power cables
The H.V cables may be laid in the same trench with the L.V cables, but shall be separated
, e.g. by a continues row of concrete cable tiles placed vertically between the two types of
cables. H.V. and L.V. cables must be separated by at least 250mm horizontally or
vertically.

4.1.3 Cable Tiles

Cable tiles made of pre-cast concrete shall be laid so as to protect the cable against
mechanical damage.

4.1.4 Back- filling and re-instatement

Back-filling of cable trenches shall be done with suitable approved earth material in well
compacted layers up to 150mm thick. The back-fill may be mounted up to 100mm above
grade level , to allow for future subsidence.

4.1.5 Cable installed above ground

All the cables which are not buried, installed in ducts or drawn into conduits shall be
installed on channels, racks or cable trays.

4.1.6 Cable fixing arrangement

All the cables shall be securely fixed to the cable trays and ladders by means of surface
type saddles secured with 6-mm screws and nuts

4.1.7 Cable segregation and Separation

Instrumentation and Telecommunication cable shall not be laid on the same trays as
power cables

4
4.1.8 Earthing
All metal parts of cable racks and trays shall be connected to the common earth grid

4.2 CIVIL ACTIVITIES

4.2.1 Civil Structural Activities

construction activities commence on site. The elements are, but not limited to the
following,
• Soil conditions and foundation requirements shall be established
• Layout and support drawings shall be established
• Detail design of foundations, supports etc shall be prepared
• Civil/Structural specifications shall be prepared.
• Site preparation details shall be prepared
• Design of Substation drawings together with transformer and feeder plinths
shall be prepared.

4.2.2 Civil Construction Works(132kv and 33kv Switch yards)

Civil construction work shall be made up of but not limited to the following,
• Site clearing
• Modification of the existing Transformer foundation plinth.
• Modification of the existing stanchion gantries foundation plinths to realign
with the proposed new Gantry arrangement .
• Construction of new Earthing Transformer plinth
