1. Wiring to be laid underground based on the dimensions specified in Table 3.6 (AS/NZS 3000). If poured concrete of 75 mm on top then minimum 300mm depth of cover, if no surface covering then minimum 500mm depth of cover. 2. Wiring systems installed underground shall be identified by an orange marker tape (at approximately 50% of the depth of cover above the wiring system)
3. Wiring to be laid in heavy duty underground conduit (Cat A) or if medium duty conduit is used then mechanical protection is required on top of conduit (Cat B). Laying insulated and sheathed cables directly in the ground is not permitted. 5.The conduits joints to be properly glued to restrict any water entry into wiring.
6. Underground cables rising vertically up to the building has been installed in medium duty conduit (UV stabilised) with an additional mechanical protection has been provided within 2m from the ground. The additional mechanical protection could be steel duct with a minimum metal thickness of not less than 1.6 mm or a galvanised pipe within 2m from the ground. Reporting:
Upload an image to show underground laying of conduits and caution tape laying
Upload an image to show underground wiring rising vertically on the building/s wall - note building name on image label.
Upload an image to show type of conduit used (conduit markings shown) less

Project manager and lead staff responsible for Quality Control are to attend an online training session (approx 1 hour). A condensed 15 minute introductory video will be provided.
Please note, the QC platform is focused on building quality outcomes in a positive environment. A key objective is identifying any required actions while contractors are on site, so any remediation can be conducted immediately and avoid potential of return visits being requested.
Reporting:
Enter names of attending staff in the QC comments section of this item. less

In the Comms section of the Reporting Hub the site lead or manager is to add a '+ Add New' entry - select Update - enter a one or more sentences to share on progress that day, for example, arrived at site or Q1 and Q2 wired, etc.
This allows all stakeholders to have a current snapshot of all projects.
Reporting:
Make this item Done at the conclusion of the project.

The school and community 'may be' able to assist with travel, accommodation and some labour, BUT there must be fair payment for the services. It is not acceptable that their enthusiasm for the opportunity is exploited. ITF is available to give advice regarding travel etc. as we have surveyed and have developed relationships with the schools, boat captains etc.
This can be made done during the project.
Reporting:
Brief summary of services provided by the community. less

From descriptions provided, consultation with school management and your assessment of the site, provide a brief summary / lay-out of the general electrical wiring works undertaken, location of sub-boards and pillar boxes, underground cable routes, earthing system locations, etc. The summary is high level as specific details will be verified in other QC items.
Reporting:
Upload an image/video of the brief summary session provided or a sketch on paper with cable routes, sub-board locations, earthing locations, etc marked in the form of an as-built. less

Bula Core team

Okay, clearly we will need to get these remediations done and this whole story behind us. That will be when the projects are corrected to standard by Core and inspected by Clayton to his satisfaction.

We expect Core’s approach to be diligent, transparent and honest. Considering the history of the Yasawa projects - it goes without saying that the expectation is now foundational.

Expectation:

You will visit the 5 projects in Yasawas: Viwa, Yaqeta, Bukama, Bauwaga and Ratu Namasi.

You will provide us with the order of visits. We will be switching many “Done” QC items back to “To Do”. We will do this in the order of your site visits and Clayton will notify when each is ready for you.

You will respond to QC items with clarity and with only the responses required. NOTE: you will have noticed we have been progressively upgrading (improving) QC items as jobs are awarded, so there will be some differences to that recent experience at Rabi. Largely the items will be presented in their original form or Clayton may add a note indicating a new reporting expectation, for example a video rather than images.

Joeli, has gained experience with the QC system and will be a good choice, rather than us needing to guide a new person through the process.

Note, we do NOT expect you to open trenches to show conduit. Ask if other issues are equally impractical and Clayton will advise.

Note, the use of any more second-hand equipment (unless indicated by ITF) will immediately fail the inspection. You know the jobs’ history, so please be sure you have sufficient stock to do replacements.

As you know we have a report back regarding the broken panels and distribution box at Viwa. That will be noted as a broad QC and specifics re-reported in the QC section.

The Yasawa Island schools were visited by DFAT, non experts, who had commentary. These comments will be added as single QC items under the Prep section in each school. Read carefully and remedy as needed.

No one visited Yaqeta, so you need to be sure every aspect of that project from correct: lighting, breakers, sub boards etc to waste removal (there was quite a lot there) is spot on. It will be checked before the job is considered done. less
