information will be submitted to the City for their
files.
.2 The application process will be as follows:
.1 The pole or product will be hot dip galvanized.
.2 Powder will only be applied after the product is
completely fabricated. No welding or bending
will take place after the powder is applied.
.3 The pole or product will be thoroughly cleaned
by brush blasting in accordance with SSPC‐SP7.
The brush blast will maintain a minimum
profile of 0.5 mils. If brush blasting is done off
site then the product will be covered and
shielded from any dirt or moisture during its
return to the powder applicators facility.
Where poles or products are not kept clean
and dry or have any signs of flash rust they will
be returned for further brush blasting.
.4 Once at the applicators facility the pole or
product will be thoroughly cleaned and dried
with an air gun. All hand marks or grease spots
will be cleaned with a mild solvent.
.5 After brush blasting the entire pole or product
will be pre‐baked in an oven at 220 degrees C
for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on
steel thickness. The pre‐baking must be done
to prevent out‐gassing during the curing cycle.

electrostatically while the pole or product is
cooling from the 220 degrees C pre‐bake
period to allow the powder to melt and fuse to
the surface. The base coat will be a minimum
of 3 mils in thickness.
.7 After base coat is applied and set the topcoat
will be applied to a thickness of 3 to 5 mils. The
pole or product will be returned to the oven
and heated to 190 to 220 degrees C
(temperature will not exceed pre‐bake) for a
minimum of 25 minutes, depending on steel
thickness. Thicker product material may

require longer bake cycles to fully cure. Upon
removal of the pole or product from the oven
it will be left to rest until the pole or product is
cool enough to the touch.
.8 Once the topcoat has cured and the poles or
product cooled, they will then be individually
wrapped (min 4” overlapping method) with
1/8” foam wrap over the entire pole or
product. The poles or product will be bundled
together and separated with suitable wood
dunnage to avoid contact between the poles,
product or other bundles. All bundles
themselves will be fully wrapped with foam
and with stretch‐wrap as noted above. The
poles or products will be handled and shipped
with great care to prevent damage; damaged
product will be cause for rejection of the
item(s).
.3 Testing process will be as follows:
.1 Each run of product in an oven will have at
least one sample tested for:
.2 Adhesion – The finished powder surface will
have minimum pull‐off strength exceeding
1000 PSI as tested in accordance with
ASTM D4541.
.3 Quality – The finished powder surface will be
free from any holidays (skips or misses) as
tested in accordance with ASTM D4541. The
product will also be free from wrinkles, orange
peel, cracking, pinholes, fish eyes, blisters, etc
by visual inspection.
.4 Color – The color will be verified to be within
3 DE of specialized color.
.5 An independent firm such as CanSpec Testing
who are qualified to test powder finish will do
the testing at the supplier’s expense. The result
of tests must accompany the Certificate of
Compliance and will be made available to the
City or their representative upon request. A
supplier who fails to test product as noted
above will have their product rejected until the
testing is completed and the product deemed
acceptable by the testing agency.
.6 Where the tested product fails on a given

files.
.2 The application process will be as follows:
.1 The pole or product will be hot dip galvanized.
.2 Powder will only be applied after the product is
completely fabricated. No welding or bending
will take place after the powder is applied.
.3 The pole or product will be thoroughly cleaned
by brush blasting in accordance with SSPC‐SP7.
The brush blast will maintain a minimum profile
of 0.5 mils. If brush blasting is done off site then
the product will be covered and shielded from
any dirt or moisture during its return to the
powder applicators facility. Where poles or
products are not kept clean and dry or have any
signs of flash rust they will be returned for
further brush blasting.
.4 Once at the applicators facility the pole or
product will be thoroughly cleaned and dried
with an air gun. All hand marks or grease spots
will be cleaned with a mild solvent.
.5 After brush blasting the entire pole or product
will be pre‐baked in an oven at 220 degrees C
for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on
steel thickness. The pre‐baking must be done to
prevent out‐gassing during the curing cycle.
.6 The base powder coat will then be applied
electrostatically while the pole or product is
cooling from the 220 degrees C pre‐bake period
CITY OF COQUITLAM DIVISION 34 MMCD SECTION 34 41 13S
ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION SS PAGE 111
SUPPLEMENTARY SPECIFICATIONS Traffic Signals 2016
to allow the powder to melt and fuse to the
surface. The base coat will be a minimum of 3
mils in thickness.
.7 After base coat is applied and set the topcoat
will be applied to a thickness of 3 to 5 mils. The
pole or product will be returned to the oven
and heated to 190 to 220 degrees C
(temperature will not exceed pre‐bake) for a
minimum of 25 minutes, depending on steel
thickness. Thicker product material may require
longer bake cycles to fully cure. Upon removal
of the pole or product from the oven it will be
left to rest until the pole or product is cool
enough to the touch.
.8 Once the topcoat has cured and the poles or
product cooled, they will then be individually
wrapped (min 4” overlapping method) with
1/8” foam wrap over the entire pole or
product. The poles or product will be bundled
together and separated with suitable wood
dunnage to avoid contact between the poles,
product or other bundles. All bundles
themselves will be fully wrapped with foam and
with stretch‐wrap as noted above. The poles or
products will be handled and shipped with
great care to prevent damage; damaged
product will be cause for rejection of the
item(s).
.3 Testing process will be as follows:
.1 Each run of product in an oven will have at least
one sample tested for:
.2 Adhesion – The finished powder surface will
have minimum pull‐off strength exceeding 1000
PSI as tested in accordance with ASTM D4541.
.3 Quality – The finished powder surface will be
free from any holidays (skips or misses) as
tested in accordance with ASTM D4541. The
product will also be free from wrinkles, orange
peel, cracking, pinholes, fish eyes, blisters, etc
by visual inspection.
.4 Color – The color will be verified to be within 3
DE of specialized color.
.5 An independent firm such as CanSpec Testing
who are qualified to test powder finish will do
the testing at the supplier’s expense. The result
of tests must accompany the Certificate of
Compliance and will be made available to the
CITY OF COQUITLAM DIVISION 34 MMCD SECTION 34 41 13S
ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION SS PAGE 112
SUPPLEMENTARY SPECIFICATIONS Traffic Signals 2016
City or their representative upon request. A
supplier who fails to test product as noted
above will have their product rejected until the
testing is completed and the product deemed
acceptable by the testing agency.
.6 Where the tested product fails on a given
production run then a minimum of 30 % of the
entire production run will be tested. If no other
failures are found then the individual failed
product will be stripped, reapplied and re‐
tested until it passes. If any of the 30% of
product tested fails then the entire order will
be stripped, reapplied and retested until it
passes.
.4 Field repairs will be undertaken as required to fix
any scratches or imperfections in the final finish.
Field repairs will be done as follows:
.1 Feather the damaged area with sandpaper.
.2 Clean area with solvent.
.3 Let dry.
.4 Neatly brush on an application of Aliphatic
Urethane Acrylic Semi‐Gloss High Build applied
at 2‐4 mils DFT over the entire sanded and
damaged area. The ambient conditions will be
dry and over 10 degrees C when the paint is
applied.
.5 The pole supplier will warranty the integrity of
the surface for a minimum of 1 year from the
date of installation. The warranty will include all
labour and materials required to provide
replacement product if required. The powder
finish will be the responsibility of the pole
supplier. The warranty will apply to fading,

SUPPLEMENTARY SPECIFICATIONS Traffic Signals 2016
.2 When installing Fibre Optic Communications
Conduit, Fibre optic warning tape (150 mm wide
orange plastic tape labelled "WARNING FIBRE
OPTIC COMMUNICATIONS CABLE") and Detectable
(Magnetic) marker tape is to be placed over all
conduits containing fibre optic cable.
.3 During installation of new boxes or with all existing
boxes ensure that they have been cleared of any
soil, sand or gravel and other materials that have
accumulated in the base of the junction box. Ensure
that all empty conduits have a proper RPVC
coupling and cap inserted (friction fit ‐ DO NOT
GLUE) into each duct. Once the conduit is
populated, replace cap with bell coupling and glue
in place.
.4 All communication conduits will be flushed with
water and dried with compressed air. This process
will be followed by pulling through a suitable size
Blowing Mouse, a clean soft cloth and new No. 8 HB
Yellow/Green Mk pull string
.5 Perform a visual inspection of the proposed cable
route and be aware of any potential problem areas.
Locations in which cables will be terminated must
be inspected and plans made for hardware and
cable slack storage. Space and access for
termination of the cable should be considered prior
to starting the job. Develop a cable placement plan
based upon the cable route survey and your
available equipment and personnel resources.
Submit a plan to the City for acceptance prior to
starting work.
.6 Be aware that any damage due to excessive pulling,
bending, or crushing, may alter the cable's
transmission characteristics to the extent that the
cable section will have to be replaced at the
Project’s expense.
.7 Fibre optic cables will be installed in continuous
runs in conduit between the traffic signal controller
cabinets (no splices are allowed).
.8 DO NOT EXCEED THE MINIMUM BEND RADIUS OF
THE FIBRE. During installation do not exceed the
minimum bend radius as specified by the
manufacture.
.9 DO NOT IMPROPERLY PULL OR EXCEED THE CABLE'S
RATED PULLING TENSION as specified by the cable
manufacturer. Excess pulling may not actually break
CITY OF COQUITLAM DIVISION 34 MMCD SECTION 34 41 13S
ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION SS PAGE 115
SUPPLEMENTARY SPECIFICATIONS Traffic Signals 2016
the fibre, but it can cause the fibre attenuation to
increase so that the installed system may not
operate within the specified requirements.
.10 DO NOT EXCEED THE VERTICAL RISE SPECIFICATION
as specified by the cable manufacturer unless
intermediate tension relief is used. Secure the cable
to new or existing supports wherever possible.
.11 Take precautions to protect reeled and unreeled
cable from any source of damage, whether
attended or unattended. Be particularly careful
with pre‐connected sections of cable produced to
meet specific length requirements as any damage
to the cable may require replacement of the entire
section.
.12 If the cable must be unreeled during installation,
the "figure‐‐eight" configuration should be used to
prevent kinking or twisting. Do not coil the cable in
a continuous direction except for lengths of 30
meters or less. The preferred size of the
"figure‐eight" is about 4.5 meters in length, with
each loop about 1.5 meters to 2.4 meters in
diameter.
.13 If a cable puller is used, ensure that the
recommended pulling tension of the cable is not
exceeded. Do not pull through junction boxes,
especially 90‐degree conduit fittings, unless
precautions are taken to maintain the minimum
bend radius.
.14 When installing cable in conduits, ensure the
conduit does not exceed the minimum bend radius.
Avoid pull boxes unless the maximum bend radius
can be maintained. In controller cabinets, fibre
optic cables will be tied together with ty‐wraps.
Each cable will be labelled within 10 cm of the
terminated ends with a tag and text stating the
street intersection of the opposite cable end.
Cables will be tagged in the controller cabinet and
all other access points with "CAUTION, FIBRE OPTIC
CABLE" tags. Leave enough cable slack at
termination points to allow the cable to be routed
through the termination hardware to a
polishing/splicing table, plus a minimum of 3
meters additional slack. Cable slack will be coiled
and secured with Velcro ties for breakaway
protection. Cable to termination panel will be
secured to cabinet with ty‐wraps
CITY OF COQUITLAM DIVISION 34 MMCD SECTION 34 41 13S
ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION SS PAGE 116
SUPPLEMENTARY SPECIFICATIONS Traffic Signals 2016
.15 If cable lubricants are necessary, ensure that they
are compatible with the cable's outer sheath. Refer
to the lubricant specification sheet to ensure
compatibility. In all cases avoid the use of
detergent‐based lubricants, as these types of
lubricants promote stress cracks.
.16 Excess cable inside pull boxes will be coiled and
mechanically secured in place with Velcro straps
such that the minimum bend radius is not exceeded
and the cable is suspended above the pull box. The
Velcro straps are to provide `breakaway' protection
in the event of an accidental dig‐up between pull
boxes.
.17 Adhesive warning labels 3M – 5016 – FO type or
accepted alternate will be affixed to each fibre
optic cable in each access point. Access points
include pull boxes and traffic signal controller
cabinets. Decal strip holders, 3M – 5012 or
accepted alternate, will be used and will be secured
in place using cable ties. Warning labels will be
oriented so they are visible and are not blocked by
other cables or equipment.
.18 After installation, each segment of each fibre will
be tested using an Optical Time Domain
Reflectometer (OTDR) and power meter
equipment. Testing will be done in each direction
on each fibre and at both 1310nm and 1550nm
wavelengths. Launch cable will be used as per the
OTDR manufacturer’s specifications. Those retained
to complete the work will provide a report detailing
the results of each test including OTDR test results
in graphical format, cable length, any fibre breaks
or anomalies, attenuation of fibre’s, connectors and
fibre uniformity.
.19 Final testing and inspection of the cable installation
will be conducted with the City on‐site.
