The conduit must be continuous, reasonably dry, completely free of debris, and without sharp projections, edges or short bends. If so required by the Engineer, the Contractor shall demonstrate that the conduit is dry and free of debris by pulling a swab and/or mandrel through the conduit. The conductors shall be installed in such a manner and by such methods so as to insure against harmful stretching of the conductors or damage to the insulation. Installation methods shall conform to the Installation of Traffic Signals Page 3 of 15 recommendations of the cable manufacturer. The Contractor shall furnish at least two copies of the manufacturer's recommendations, which includes: methods of attaching pull cable, pulling tension per conductor size and per radius of conduit bend, and the type of lubricant to be used. 3.1.3 All cables in a given conduit run shall be pulled at the same time and the conductors shall be assembled to form one loop in such a manner that the pulling tension is distributed to all the cables. Long, hard pulls will necessitate the use of pulling eyes. For short runs, the cables may be gripped directly by the conductors by forming them into a loop to which the pull wire or rope can be attached. The insulation on each conductor shall be removed before the loop is formed. The method used will depend on the anticipated maximum pulling tension in each case. 3.1.4 In many instances, existing conduits that contain signal cable are to be used for the installation of new cables. In such locations, where new cables are to replace all existing cables, the existing cables may be used to pull in the new cables. At locations where new cables are to be added to existing cable runs, the existing cables shall first be pulled out, then replaced, adding the new cables to the existing cables to form one cable pull. Installation shall be done in such a way as to prevent damage to the existing and/or new cables. In the event of damage, the Contractor shall bear the responsibility of material and labor for replacement of defective cables. 3.1.5 The manufacturer's recommended maximum pulling tensions shall not be exceeded under any circumstances. If so required by the Engineer, the Contractor shall insert a dynamometer in the pull wire as the cables are being pulled into the conduit to demonstrate that the maximum tensions are not being exceeded. The cable shall be fed freely off the reel into the conduit without making a reverse curve. At the pulling end, the pull wire and cables shall be drawn from the conduit in direct line with the conduit. Sheaves or other suitable devices shall be used as required to reduce any hazards to the cable during installation. The cables shall be adequately lubricated to reduce friction and further minimize possible damage. Such lubricants shall not be the grease or oil type used on lead sheathed cables, but shall be one of several commercially available wire pulling compounds that are suitable for PVC sheathed cables. They shall consist of soap, talc, mica, or similar materials and shall be designed to have no deleterious effect on the cables being used. 3.1.6 The cables shall be neatly trained to their destinations in manholes, cabinets, pole bases, pull boxes, and all other terminations. The cable manufacturer's recommended values for the minimum bending radii to which cables may be bent for permanent training during installation shall be adhered to. These limits do not apply to conduit bends, sheaves or other curved surfaces around which these cables may be pulled under tension while being installed. Larger radius bends are required for such conditions.

The back rod and breaker tape shall be installed in the saw-cut joint to prevent the joint sealant from flowing to the bottom of the joint. The backer rod and breaker tape shall be compatible with the silicone joint sealant and no bond or reaction shall occur between them. Reference is made to the "Construction Detail" sheet for the various joint details with their respective dimensions. 4. TIME OF APPLICATION I On newly constructed Portland Cement Concrete pavement, the joints shall be initially saw cut to the required depth with the proper joint spacing as shown on the"Construction Detail" sheet or as directed by the Engineer within 12 hours of the pavement placement. (Note that for the "dummy" joints, the initial 1/4-inch width "green"saw-cut and the"reservoir"saw cut are identical and should be part of the same saw cutting operation. Immediately after the saw cutting pressure washing shall be applied to flush the concrete slurry from the freshly saw cut joints.) The pavement shall be allowed to cure for a minimum of seven(7)days. Then the saw cuts for the joint sealant reservoir shall be made,the joint cleaned,and the joint sealant installed. During the application of the joint sealant,the weather shall not be inclement and the temperature shall be 40°F.(4°C.)and rising. 5. EQUIPMENT 5.1 The Contractor shall furnish all necessary equipment. The Contractor shall keep his equipment in a r satisfactory working condition and shall be inspected by the Engineer prior to the beginning of the work. The minimum requirements for construction equipment shall be as follows: 5.2 Concrete Saw: The sawing equipment shall be adequate in size and power to complete the joint sawing to the required dimensions. 5.3 High Pressure Water Pumg: The high pressure cold water pumping system shall be capable of delivering a sufficient pressure and volume of water to thoroughly flush the concrete slurry from the saw-cut joint. 5.4 Air Compressors: The delivered compressed air shall have a pressure in excess of 90 psi and 120 cfm. There shall be suitable reaps for the removal of all free water and oil from the compressed air. The blow- tube shall fir into the saw-cut joint. 5.5 Extrusion Pump:The output shall be capable of supplying a sufficient volume of sealant to the joint. 5.6 Injection Tool:This mechanical device shall apply the sealant uniformly into the joint. 5.7 Sandblaster:The design shall be for commercial use with air compressors as specified in Paragraph 5.4. 5.8 Backer Rod Roller and Tooling Instrument: These devices shall be clean and free of contamination. They shall be compatible with the join depth and width requirements. 6.
