GROUP CASE STUDY 1: (ELECTRICAL WORKS) SITUATION: One of Utility Company plans to install temporary power supply cables from existing Electrical Sub-station No. 210 to a temporary firewater pump located in existing seawater intake area. In view of this, your company (M/s Al-Makabayan Est.), an electrical contracting company has been requested to submit a fixed lumpsum bid for the following scope of work: Manual excavation for cable trench 0.6 m (W) x 0.8 m (D) x 2 km on Class A soil. Excavated material will be reused for backfilling. All excess material will be cleared by others. Machine excavation for cable trench 0.6 m (W) x 0.8 m (D) x 3 km on Class B soil. Excavated material will be reused for backfilling. All excess material will be cleared by others. o Supply and install 1-run 5 km 30x4/0AWGx1C armored cable, 5000V, ethylene-propylene rubber insulated with interlock armor and outer PVC jacket Supply and install of (sweet) sand as cable bedding (0.3m). Supply and install cable warning tapes and protection tiles over the underground cables. ASSUMPTIONS/CONDITIONS: Excavation Works: Class A site material was considered 'easy digging', consists of loose, soft, free running material, the swell factor for this type of material is 15%. . Class B site material, considered "medium digging", consists of harder materials that can be excavated without ripping or blasting. Class B material breaks up with bulkiness causing some voids in the dipper of bucket of excavators. The swell factor for this type of material is 25%.
