4.0 Construction Stage

4.1 Unloading & Storage at Site

4.1.1 Pipes are to be checked on unloading.

a) With Crane or Excavator
Use lifting belts; chain or ropes may not be used.
The lifting belts must be placed outside around the pallets
and outside the base timber.
Steer the pallets manually to prevent them colliding with
anything.
Do not move the pallets on the truck with the aid of levers
or crowbars.
Do not allow the pipes to be impacted by any hard object
(e.g. crane hook, chain etc.).

b) With Forklift Truck
When placing the pallets transversely on the forks, make
sure the forks are positioned sufficiently widely apart


Document No.
MOS-DR-01

When placing the pallets longitudinally on the forks, place
protective timber between the parcel and the forks base.
Better is to transport the parcel in transversal direction on
the fork teeth.

When transporting individual pipes by sliding a tooth into
a pipe, always have protective material between the forks
and the pipe.

4.1.2 Storage at Site

4.1.2.1 Do not put the pallets down on to hard ground with a bang.

4.1.2.2 Put the pallets down only on ground that is sufficiently hard to

MOS-DR-01

prevent the base timber sinking into it

4.1.2.3 Leave sufficient space between individual pallets.

4.1.2.4 To avoid damage to the sealing elements, store individual
pipes only on a wooden base.

4.1.2.5 Store fittings standing upright on their sockets.

4.2 Pipe Laying & Installation

4.2.1 Before the pipes are laid, check both ends of each pipe, optically in
order to find any cracks that might have occurred in the course of
transport.


Document No.
MOS-DR-01

4.2.2 The paint mark must always point upwards. This ensure: * The pipe
inverts will be level (any steps that might arise between two pipes
will be within the permissible tolerance)

4.2.3 Install pipe according to required gradient and shall be executed as
the following steps:

Step 1: Keep the trench width narrow, especially at the top of the
pipe. A wide trench means more load on the pipeline.

Step 2: Spread bedding material in front of last pipe laid. Smooth it out.


Document No.
MOS-DR-01

Step 3: Imported bedding should be at least 4 inches thick thicker for larger pipe. Make
sure the bedding is packed down.

Step 4: Use grade rod, laser or grade machine to check grade of bedding. This means
less pipe handling when the pipe is laid.

Step 5: Dig bell or coupling holes before pipe is laid. Just scoop out bedding with a
shovel.

Step 6: Keep water out of the trench so bedding can be placed and graded accurately.
Pipe joints can be made easier too.

Step 7: Pump out the water or use well points sunk below the depth of the trench
bottom.

Step 8: Follow manufacturers instructions for installation of flexible compression joints.
Make sure joints are clean before installing them.

Step 9: If a bar is used to shove the pipe home use a block of wood to cushion the bell.
Make sure the pipe is laid straight and to grade.

Step 10: Tamp a layer of bedding material under the pipe haunches, not under the bell.
This gives the pipe added support and keeps it in line.

MOS-DR-01

Step 11: If too much bedding is thrown on top of the pipe, it wont get under the pipe
even with tamping. Dont let this happen!

Step 12: Make sure fittings, stubs and risers are well supported. Tamp soil around and
under haunches of the pipe and fittings.

Step 13: Use short stubs with flexible compression joints at manhole walls. They will
take care of manhole settlement.

Step 14: Hand cover the pipe with about 12 inches of backfill over the top of the pipe.
This protects the pipe during final backfilling.

MOS-DR-01

Step 15: Do not let rocks or lumps get into the trench. They can damage the pipe and
ruin the alignment.

Step 16: Place final backfill into the trench at an angle. This keeps impact on the
installed pipe to a minimum.

Step 17: Heavy compaction equipment should be used with caution. Pipe can be
damaged if impact is not carefully controlled.

4.3 Gravity Test

4.3.1 Gravity sanitary sewer and Industrial drainage system shall be tested
with potable water, well water or sea water.

4.3.2 Gravity test shall be done from manhole to manhole or a column of
water equivalent to the rim elevation of the upstream manhole if pipe
is to be tested separately.


Document No.
MOS-DR-01

4.3.3 Gravity test shall be maintained for a period of 4 hours for lines
whose joints have not been backfilled or are above ground piping
while 24 hours shall be maintained for lines whose joints have been
backfilled.

4.3.4 If manholes are not part of the test or a section of pipe is to be
tested, the pipe ends shall be covered with plumbers test plugs.

4.3.5 An extension pipe is provided on the test plugs at selected location
for water filling and drain points and at least one pipe riser for the
water head required that shall be accessible for visual inspection.

4.3.6 Plumbers test plugs that are not used for other purposes shall be
kept open while filling of water to release air inside the system and
shall be closed when the system has been properly vented.

4.3.7 Water filling into the pipe being tested shall be from a water truck or a
ground level water tank with electric or engine-driven pump. A water
hose shall be placed direct to the manhole, to the pipe being tested
or to a pipe connection provided at the plumbers test plug.

4.3.8 All joints shall be exposed and cleaned for visual inspection.

4.3.9 Partial sand covering and backfilling on the body of the pipe being
tested shall be done to prevent floatation during test.

4.3.10 Drain valve shall be provided at the lowest portion of the pipe being
tested for safe draining after inspection.

4.3.11 Water used for testing can be re-used for another gravity test, for
water flooding of pipe sand covering, for water spray of trenches or
discharge to a designated area.

4.3.12 Repair methods for leaking pipes, joints and fittings shall be in
accordance with the requirement and project specification.
