Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
PRECAST CONCRETE CABLE COVERS
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 22 August 1970, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
0.2 Precast reinforced and unreinforced concrete covers are used for cover-
ing cables with a view to give a warning of the presence of an underground
electric cable and also to rotect cables against blows from excavating tools.
This standard has been ormulated to provide guidance in the manufac-F
ture and use of the above cable covers.
0.2.1 The cable eovers have been classified based. upon the description’
and condition where the above covers are normally used. The use of
unreinforced concrete covers is recommended mainly for locations where
dangers from pick-axing are not significant and in situations of secondary
importance. This standard does not cover the interlocking cable covers.
0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing in
different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in
this country. This has been met by deriving assistance from B.S. 2484 : 1961
‘ Specification for cable covers ( concrete and earthen ) ‘, published by the
British Standards Institution.
0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with the final value, observed or calculated, expressing
the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained .in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the requirements for reinforced and unreinforced
precast concrete covers for covering cables.
*Ruln for rounding offnumerical valuer( rathi).
IS : 5820 - 1970
2. MATERIALS
2.1 Cement-The cement shall conform to IS : 269.1967* or IS : 455-l 967t
or IS : 1489-1967:.
2.2 Aggregate - Aggregate from natural sources shall comply with <the
requirements of IS : 383-1970§. Blast furnace slag coarse aggregate or any
other aggregate may be used by agreement between the purchaser and
the manufacturer.
2.2.1 All aggregates shall be ofa size appropriate to the sections of the
products being produced but shall not exceed 10 mm nominal size,
2.2.2 Flyash and burnt clay pozzolana conforming to IS : 3812 ( Part
III )-1966ll and IS : 1344-19681 respectively may be used as fine aggre-
gate by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer taking the
advantage of their pozzolanic properties.
2.3 Water-Water shall be clean and free from injurious amounts of
deleterious materials and of a quality fit for drinking purposes.
2.4 Steel Wire or Rod- Steel wire or rod for reinforcement shall
conform to IS: 432 (Part I )-1966**, IS: 432 (Part II )-1966t7,
IS : 1139-1966$$, IS : 1566-196795 or IS : 1786-19661!11 as agreed to
between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
3. CLASSIFICATION
3.1 The precast concrete cable covers may be reinforced or unreinforced
depending on the user requirements. Reinforced concrete cable covers
generally provide the higher degree of safety against shattering,than unrein-
forced concrete cable covers. Whether the concrete cable cover is to be

reinforced or unreinforced should be decided baaed upon the type of
protection required by the user. Use of unreinforced precast concrete cable
cover is recommended for situations of secondary importance or where the
danger from pick-axing are not significant.
3.2 The precast concrete cable covers generally are of two types namely
with peak and flat (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 ). Precast concrete cable covers
shall be classified as under:
Class Descriptionof cable coucrs Conditionswhere normal& used
EHV Reinforced precast con- For underground power cables of
Crete, with peak voltage rating 22 kV and 33 kV
HVP Unreinforced precast con- For power cables of voltage rating

and above
HV Unreinforced precast con-
crete, flat 1 For power cables up to and
LV Unreinforced precast con-

including 1*I kV
Crete, flat
3.3 Arched type cable covers are also sometimes used, a typical design of
which is shown in Fig. 3. These cable covers may be manufactured with
suitable changes in dimensions to conform to the other dimensions of the
standard.
4. DIMENSIONS AND TOLERANCES
4.1 Dimensions of reinforced and unreinforced precast concrete cable covers.
shall be as indicated in Table 1. Tolerances on length and width shall
be f3 mm and’on thickness shall be &2 mm.
5. MANUFACTURE
5.1 The concrete used in the manufacture of cable covers shall not be of
a grade lower than M 200 as in IS : 456-1964*.
5.2 Mixing - Concrete shall no&rally be mixed in a mechanical mixer.
Mixing shall be continued until there is a uniform distribution of the
materials and the mass is uniform in colour and consistency.
5.2.1 When hand mixing is permitted by the engineer-in-charge, it shall
be carried out on a water-tight platform and care shall be taken to ensure
that mixing is continued until the mass is uniform in colour and
consistency.

8.2 Impact Strength - The samples of reinforced concrete cable covers
taken as described in 7.1 shall be tested in the manner described in
Appendix A using an equipment shown in Fig. 5. They shall be subjected
to two blows from the tup, both delivered from a height of 460 mm
measured vertically between the centre of the top surface of the cable
cover being tested and the striking end of the tup, the point of impact
being the centre of the cable cover for both blows. When tested in this
manner there shall result not more than one transverse crack, that is a
crack across the full width of the cable cover.
8.2.1 Each group of samples being tested shall be divided into two
batches of e ual number of samples.
9.
In the event of one sample in the
first batch far mg to conform with the requirement specified in 8.2, then all
the samples of the second batch shall be tested. If all the samples of the
second batch pass, the consignment shah be deemed to conform to the
requirements of this standard, but if even one sample in the second batch
fails, the consignment shall be deemed not to conform to the requirements
of this standard.
8.3 Transverse Strength - The samples of unreinforced concrete cable
covers taken as described in 7.2 shall be tested in the manner described in
Appendix B using an equipment shown in Fig. 6. The averge breaking
load of six covers shall first be taken. Should the average breaking load
of these six covers be equal to or greater than the values given in Table I,
the consignment shall be deemed to conform to this standard. Should the
average breaking load of the six covers be less than the limit specified in
Table 1, the test shall be repeated on further nine covers which were set
aside. Should the average of the tests on the fifteen covers be equal to or
greater than the limits specified in Table I, the consignment shall be
deemed to conform to this standard. Should the average of the tests on
the fifteen covers be less than the limits specified in Table 1, the consign-
mept shall be deemed not to conform to this standard.

  • 4. IS t 5820 - 19743 Indian Standard SPECIFICATION FOR PRECAST CONCRETE CABLE COVERS 0. FOREWORD 0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 22 August 1970, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 0.2 Precast reinforced and unreinforced concrete covers are used for cover- ing cables with a view to give a warning of the presence of an underground electric cable and also to rotect cables against blows from excavating tools. This standard has been ormulated to provide guidance in the manufac-F ture and use of the above cable covers. 0.2.1 The cable eovers have been classified based. upon the description’ and condition where the above covers are normally used. The use of unreinforced concrete covers is recommended mainly for locations where dangers from pick-axing are not significant and in situations of secondary importance. This standard does not cover the interlocking cable covers. 0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in this country. This has been met by deriving assistance from B.S. 2484 : 1961 ‘ Specification for cable covers ( concrete and earthen ) ‘, published by the British Standards Institution. 0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained .in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. 1. SCOPE 1.1 This standard covers the requirements for reinforced and unreinforced precast concrete covers for covering cables. *Ruln for rounding offnumerical valuer( rathi).

MATERIALS 2.1 Cement-The cement shall conform to IS : 269.1967* or IS : 455-l 967t or IS : 1489-1967:. 2.2 Aggregate - Aggregate from natural sources shall comply with <the requirements of IS : 383-1970§. Blast furnace slag coarse aggregate or any other aggregate may be used by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. 2.2.1 All aggregates shall be ofa size appropriate to the sections of the products being produced but shall not exceed 10 mm nominal size, 2.2.2 Flyash and burnt clay pozzolana conforming to IS : 3812 ( Part III )-1966ll and IS : 1344-19681 respectively may be used as fine aggre- gate by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer taking the advantage of their pozzolanic properties. 2.3 Water-Water shall be clean and free from injurious amounts of deleterious materials and of a quality fit for drinking purposes. 2.4 Steel Wire or Rod- Steel wire or rod for reinforcement shall conform to IS: 432 (Part I )-1966**, IS: 432 (Part II )-1966t7, IS : 1139-1966$$, IS : 1566-196795 or IS : 1786-19661!11 as agreed to between the purchaser and the manufacturer. 3. CLASSIFICATION 3.1 The precast concrete cable covers may be reinforced or unreinforced depending on the user requirements.

  • 6. IS 15820 - .I970 reinforced or unreinforced should be decided baaed upon the type of protection required by the user. Use of unreinforced precast concrete cable cover is recommended for situations of secondary importance or where the danger from pick-axing are not significant. 3.2 The precast concrete cable covers generally are of two types namely with peak and flat (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 ). Precast concrete cable covers shall be classified as under: Class Descriptionof cable coucrs Conditionswhere normal& used EHV Reinforced precast con- For underground power cables of Crete, with peak voltage rating 22 kV and 33 kV HVP Unreinforced precast con- For power cables of voltage rating Crete, with peak above 1*l kV excluding 22 kV and above HV Unreinforced precast con- crete, flat 1 For power cables up to and LV Unreinforced precast con- 1 including 1*I kV Crete, flat 3.3 Arched type cable covers are also sometimes used, a typical design of which is shown in Fig. 3. These cable covers may be manufactured with suitable changes in dimensions to conform to the other dimensions of the standard. 4. DIMENSIONS AND TOLERANCES 4.1 Dimensions of reinforced and unreinforced precast concrete cable covers. shall be as indicated in Table 1. Tolerances on length and width shall be f3 mm and’on thickness shall be &2 mm. 5. MANUFACTURE 5.1 The concrete used in the manufacture of cable covers shall not be of a grade lower than M 200 as in IS : 456-1964*. 5.2 Mixing - Concrete shall no&rally be mixed in a mechanical mixer. Mixing shall be continued until there is a uniform distribution of the materials and the mass is uniform in colour and consistency. 5.2.1 When hand mixing is permitted by the engineer-in-charge, it shall be carried out on a water-tight platform and care shall be taken to ensure that mixing is continued until the mass is uniform in colour and consistency. *Code ofpracticefor plain and reinforcedconcrete( rr~& ~&&WI), 5

IS I 5820 - 1970 5.3 Moulding -The concrete shall be compacted in the moulds by effi- cient tamping, vibration, 11 draulic the face exposed in the pressure or other suitable process and mou d struck off level. Where they are made underY hydraulic pressure, the pressure employed shall not be less than 7 MN/m* ( 70 kgf/cm2 ) over the entire surface receiving the pressure. 5.4 Protection from Frost - No material which has been exposed’ to a temperature below freezing point shall be used until it has been completely thawed and products shall not be moulded when the temperature of the mould itself is below freezing point. Products already moulded shall be protected from the action of frost during at lcast the first 48 hours after moulding. 5.5 Reinforced precast concrete cable covers with peak shall be provided with mild steel reinforcement conforming to IS : 432 ( Part I )-1966* as shown in Fig. 4. The provisions of reinforcement may be modified when steel of a higher ultimate tensile strength is used. Positioning of reinforce- ment shall be assisted by welding as shown in Fig. 4, tying or other suitable method. Similar arrangement of reinforcement shall also be adopted for flat type cable covers. 6. FINISH 6.1 The cable covers shall be free from all defects liable to affect adversely their suitability for use. The edges shall be sharp unless otherwise speci- tied by the purchaser. 7. SAMPLING 7.1 For the test of impact strength of reinforced concrete cable covers twelve samples at random for every consignment of 2 000 cable covers or less and a further twelve samples for every further 12 000 cable covers or part of 12 000 cable covers, comprising the same consignment shall be taken. 7.2 For the test of transverse strength of unreinforced concrete cable covers fifteen samples at random from each consignment of 3 000 cable covers or part thereof shall be taken. 8. TEST AND CRITERIA OF CONFORMITY 8.1 Precast cable covers of reinforced concrete shall be tested for impact strength as in 8.2 and those of unreinforced concrete for transverse strength as in 8.3. *Specification for mild steel and medium tensile steel bars and hard-drawn steel wire for conwte reinforcement : Part I.MiId steel and msdium tensile steel bars (second r&&a 3. 8

IS : 5820 - 1970 8.2 Impact Strength - The samples of reinforced concrete cable covers taken as described in 7.1 shall be tested in the manner described in Appendix A using an equipment shown in Fig. 5. They shall be subjected to two blows from the tup, both delivered from a height of 460 mm measured vertically between the centre of the top surface of the cable cover being tested and the striking end of the tup, the point of impact being the centre of the cable cover for both blows. When tested in this manner there shall result not more than one transverse crack, that is a crack across the full width of the cable cover. 8.2.1 Each group of samples being tested shall be divided into two batches of e ual number of samples. 9. In the event of one sample in the first batch far mg to conform with the requirement specified in 8.2, then all the samples of the second batch shall be tested. If all the samples of the second batch pass, the consignment shah be deemed to conform to the requirements of this standard, but if even one sample in the second batch fails, the consignment shall be deemed not to conform to the requirements of this standard. 8.3 Transverse Strength - The samples of unreinforced concrete cable covers taken as described in 7.2 shall be tested in the manner described in Appendix B using an equipment shown in Fig. 6. The averge breaking load of six covers shall first be taken. Should the average breaking load of these six covers be equal to or greater than the values given in Table I, the consignment shall be deemed to conform to this standard. Should the average breaking load of the six covers be less than the limit specified in Table 1, the test shall be repeated on further nine covers which were set aside. Should the average of the tests on the fifteen covers be equal to or greater than the limits specified in Table I, the consignment shall be deemed to conform to this standard. Should the average of the tests on the fifteen covers be less than the limits specified in Table 1, the consign- mept shall be deemed not to conform to this standard. 9. MARKING 9.1 The upper side of each cable cover shall be marked longitudinally by means ofimpression 4 mm deep with words “ ELECTRIC A ” in accord- ance with Fig. 1 and 2. Identification markings, such as the name of the utility, may also be marked longitudinally by means of impression 4 mm deep, if the purchaser so desires. 9.2, BPS Certdcation MarIung the productmy also be marked with Standard Mark. 9.2.1 The use of the Standard Mark isrgovemed by the provisions of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act,$986 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The details of cond#tions under which the licence for the use of Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers may be obtained from the Bureau of Indian Standards. 10
