1. Background
This Proposal is prepared for Dire Dawa University Technology Institute Community Service
Office, which is aimed to deliver a comprehensive evaluation of electrical installation design at
Ethiopian Pharmaceuticals Supply Agency Dire Dawa Branch. The major aim of this community
service is confirmation of the designed installation work for expanding of new building.

2. Objective of the project

2.1 General objective

The objective of this work is evaluation of electrical installation work for newly expanded building
for Ethiopian Pharmaceuticals Supply Agency, Dire Dawa Branch.

2.2 Specific Objective

To achieve the above objective the project have the following specific objectives.

1. Conduct an on-site visit to understand the project requirements and existing electrical
systems.

2. Evaluate the compliance of the electrical installation design with Ethiopian electrical codes
and regulations.

3. Identify potential risks, hazards, and areas for improvement.

4. Assess the adequacy of the electrical load calculations and distribution system design.

5. Analyze the effectiveness of grounding and bonding systems.

6. Evaluate the suitability of protection devices, such as circuit breakers.

7. Review the design of lighting, power.

8. Inspect the installation for compliance with proper insulation, grounding, and electrical
protection measures.

3. Existing Problems
As of our team survey the current electrical installation has the following major problems that lead
the agency to require a new installation.

- Insufficient electrical capacity

- Inadequate wiring and cable management
- Inefficient lighting design
- Inadequate provision for future expansion
- Lack of accessibility and maintenance considerations

4. Scope of the work

The scope of the work is to evaluate the newly expanded building electrical installation on Power
Distribution System, Lighting Design, Electrical Outlets and Wiring, voltage and Mechanical
Systems Integration, Safety and Grounding, and Compliance with Regulations. The jobs to be done
in the work are:

a. Site Visit and Assessment:

 Conduct an on-site visit to understand the project requirements and

existing electrical systems.

 Evaluate the compliance of the electrical installation design with

Ethiopian electrical codes and regulations.

 Identify potential risks, hazards, and areas for improvement.

b. System Analysis:

 Assess the adequacy of the electrical load calculations and distribution

system design.

 Analyze the effectiveness of grounding and bonding systems.

  Evaluate the suitability of protection devices, such as circuit breakers and
fuses.

 Review the design of lighting, power, and communication systems.

c. Safety and Compliance:

 Verify the adherence of the design to national and international electrical

safety standards.

 Inspect the installation for compliance with proper insulation, grounding,

and electrical protection measures.

 Assess the implementation of safety signage and emergency procedures.

d. Recommendations:

 Prepare a detailed report outlining the findings of the evaluation.

 Provide recommendations for improvements, modifications, or upgrades

to enhance the electrical installation design.

 Offer cost-effective solutions to optimize energy efficiency and

sustainability.

5. Documentation
