Electrical System Design & Installation Guidelines For Architects & Engineers
The supply of electricity to projects has been taken for granted. It is always assumed that at the end of a project and before handing over to the clients that electricity supply will be available too. General perception is that this is a sole responsibility of CKE.
In actual fact, the supply of electricity to a project requires thorough planning and coordination among all the various technical discipline involved in the project namely, architects, structural engineers and mechanical engineers.
Various audits and reports, such as “Laporan Pemantauan Projek”, have indicated that among causes of projects delay was delay in construction of substation buildings. While CKE’s Electrical Construction Quality Inspection (ECQI) and Project Lesson Learned Post Occupation Evaluation (POE) reports have pointed out several problems that relates to the size/and/or locations of service rooms; namely inadequate room size that renders difficulty in maintenance; and inappropriate location that complicates construction and increase chances of defects.
Thus, the guideline is meant to provide other discipline guidance for requirements of spaces, locations and other criteria that would enable a functional, maintainable and sustainable electrical installation system (LV, ELV and ICT) in all projects.
