4.3.11. Covering (External protection) by Polyethylene:


4.3.11.1. General:
The basic covering (external protection) material is obtained through the
ethylene high-pressure polymerization. Polyethylene is split for shaping a plate
or a continuous tape, and then it is hardened by cooling and finally cut for
grains then smashed to be powder. Polyethylene is a translucent material, solid
and low-density.
Polyethylene should be fully fixed.
For getting good resistance against the ultraviolet effects. 2% of the black
carbon is added to polyethylene and fully mixed.
The black carbon atoms should be smaller than 25 Micron. Polyethylene may
be fixed against the Ultraviolet effects before or after crushing the material to
grains as the manufacturing company choice.

4.3.11.2. Polyethylene properties:


Polyethylene should meet the
following properties. The entire
covering material is tested before
using for being sure that it is in
conformity with the specified
specifications.

When starting the production, Polyethylene supplier should approve the data
mentioned above.
Polyethylene that is used for covering (External protection) should be free from
the tensile cracks.

Covering by polyethylene is able to burden the high-temperatures that are


caused by sunrays during storage; this is without damaging it.
For reducing the sunrays effect, polyethylene cover should sufficiently be
protected by a protective layer of high-reflection rate (Ex: White paint of the
water dilution acrylic resin). Protection layer subjects to the engineer approval.
4.3.11.3. Putting the covering layer:
A. Surface preparation:
Before covering (external protection), the pipe external surface should be free
from the pollutants such as oil, lubricate, humidity, etc.
It is cleaned (blasted) by pellets (metal shavings) for removing all the effects of
rust or factory scales. It is not allowed to treat the pipe surfaces by acid
solution.
Cleaning (blasting) the steel surface by pellets should completely remove the
rust effects and give surface roughness by 60 80 Micron (from the bottom to
top).
This is equivalent to "The white paint". Steel surface that is cleaned through
blasting should be completed according to the British specifications 67/4232.
B. Putting the Polyethylene layer:
Polyethylene should be used through fusion. After removing the scales from
the steel surface up to the white steel status as stated above, it is heated under
temperature higher than the polyethylene fusion point.
After that, polyethylene powder is spread from the bottom on the slow-rotation
pipe, or from the top.
During melting and adhesion the polyethylene on the heated pipe surface, it
shapes a regular plastic layer that tightly adheres to the pipe when it gets cool.
4.3.11.4. Tests measures:
The mentioned tests measures are in conformity with the German Institute for
Standardization specifications (DIN) 30670, its equivalent of the American
Water Works Association (AWWA) or the American Society for Testing and
Materials.

deficiencies. It is exactly put at the covering slope end.
During examination, the machine of finding the covering deficiencies (or
circular metal comb) should be completely tangent with the covering surface,
as any air enter may change the standardizations accuracy.
If a defect or more appeared on any covered pipe, it should be separately
stored.
The damaged covering either is fixed and electrically re-examined, or the pipe
is rejected and its covering is removed before putting a new layer of
polyethylene.
B. Adhesion/Coherence:
Adhesion is measured at 23 and 40 C
A plate of width 50 mm is cute from the covering by coupled-saw (or knife, if
the plate will be taken from the pipe end) perpendicular on the pipe pivot.
This plate is cut by 90C from the pipe top surface. From this point, pipe is
decorticated at the pipe bottom direction by 135 C from its top surface.
Weight by 17.5 Kg is added at the decorticated plate end for measuring at 23
C. In addition, weight by 10 Kg should be used for measuring at 40 C.
Adhesion test consists of measuring the necessary time for cutting the plate
under the load effect at the pipe bottom.
This time that is appointed by minutes should be larger than or equal to 0.4
diameter/cm

- The test sample is immerged in the water bath under test temperature by (25
C), and then it is left for at least one hour.
- Penetration tool is installed, and the comparative machine is read (1). After
that, the additional load is put on the penetration tool.
- The comparative machine is read again (2) after 24 hours.
- The difference between the two reading (1) and (2) gives the penetration
depth at 1/100 mm.
D. Impact resistance:

4.3.12.7. Tests measurements:
A. Aggregate Test
Aggregate is tested according to the specifications of the German Institute for
standardizations 4226, page no. (3).
B. Test of mixing and water proportion to the cement
1. After maximum fifteen (15) minutes from achieving lining with the cement
mortar, it will be taken; 300 gm of the loose mortar (soft) from the pipes
terminals (ends).
At this time, it should be noticed that the model average for installing the
mortar is taken from the full horizontal sector of the cement mortar lining.
After that, The loose mortar is fully mixed to get one sample by weight 100
gm, and another one by 200 gm. It is provided in both of them, the same
mixing proportion.

The following abbreviations and instructions for analysis should be considered:


(Units of mass): M+Z+S = M
M= Mortar sample that is weighted
S= Sand
Z= Water
2. Fixing the sand content
Mortar sample is about 200 gm.
The known: M1 , What should be found: S1
Immediately after taking and weighting the samples, the loose mortar is filtered
on a test colander of netting wire by 0.09 mm, while the sand remaining on the
colander is rinsed by water, then it is put down in porcelain bath and softened
by concentrated hydrochloric acid by 20-25 mm.
After that, sand is put again on the colander and rinsed by water until the water
becomes free from the acid. Sand is dried under temperature 110 C until the
analytical result weight is proven: S1
Result and the new value are corrected through the accurate weight for sand.
3. Fixing the water content:
Mortar sample is about 100 gm
The known: M2, what should be found: W2
This test may be made according to one of the two following ways:
3.A. Drying until the weight is fixed (Specifications of the German Institute for
Standardizations 1048)
Principle of such way:

Water amount is determined by measuring the difference of weight between the


new mortar sample and that dry one. Accordingly, water proportion to cement
is calculated based on the original weight of the mortar sample.
Test equipments:
- Balance
- Heating plate with enough big surface
Test implementation:
Within a term does not exceed fifteen (15) minutes after achieving the mortar, a
sample of the loose mortar by 100 gm is taken from the pipe terminal/end
Sample is weighted and equally distributed on the heating plate that is
previously warmed. Drying is fast made through continue moving until al the
masses disappear.
After cooling the sample, it is weighted again. The loosing weight equal to the
water amount
3.B. Xylol way (Wood oil).
Principle of such way:
The water amount is determined through distillation a sample of the loose
mortar that is mixed with xylol material. Calculating the water proportion to
cement based on the original weight of the mortar sample.
Test equipments:
- Balance
- Proper distillation machine (according to the specifications of the German
Institute for Standardizations (DIN) 51582
Test implementation:

Within a term that does not exceed fifteen (15) minutes after achieving the
lining, a sample of the loose mortar by about 100 gm is taken from the pipe
terminal/end
Mortar sample is immediately filled in the distillation crucible that is sealed
and weighted.
After weighting the loose mortar, about 120 milliliter of xylol is added to the
sample. Crucible is linked to the distillation machine, and then mixture is
heated; in such way, the water and xylol is evaporated together.
After cooling, the condense water is gathered in an echelon cylinder. Because
of the higher specific gravity of water and non-mixing it, it is clearly separated
from xylol.

A lot of water, is added to the dry mixture, equal to the original cement mortar
in which after two (2) minutes of mixing in a blender of the mechanical rotor
container type, falling is by 13-16 cm. Falling is determined using the flow
schedule according to the specifications of the German Institute for
Standardizations (DIN) 1060, paragraph (9.10.10.)

Three (3) measure fliers (4x4x16) for testing are taken. They may be obtained
by the following method:
A. Mortar samples are grazed from the loose pipes/newly lined, then mixed
well until reaching to homogeneous texture as possible.
B. Before lining the pipe, loose mortar samples are taken, while its water is
displaced on an absorbent filter.
Samples are manufactured, stored and tested according to the specifications of
the German Institute for Standardizations DIN 1165, page no. (7).
In addition to resistance, it should always be stated; the falling rate and water
proportion to cement.
D. Test of lining thickness:

4.5. Digging, fettle, and shaping the trenches:
When implementing the pipelines digging, contractor should abide by the
requirements of these specifications regarding the dust works. Accordingly,
when this is required, building and keeping certified type of the temporal fence
around any work, also securing the fenced paths through the trenches.
Trenches should be dig to hollow of regular surface that is manually trimmed
as necessary. Also, its horizontal section should be flat and of breadth that
guarantees at the minimum turnout by (300 mm) between the pipelines body or
fossils, woods and the mineral supporting plates, or turnout larger than this as
necessary.
The maximum breadth of the all the pipelines trenches should not exceed,
between the fixed soil in the sides of the trench, 300 mm above the upper
surface of the pipeline, the dimensions that are stated in the charts unless the
pipeline will be protected by complete concrete filling for all the sides, or if
there was more than one pipeline at the trench.
If the trench breadth exceeded the allowable dimensions, or the trench brackets
has been moved and the soil next to the trench has been rarefied at height by
300 mm or lesser upon the upper surface of the pipelines, contractor should

surround the pipelines with concrete type of (C 30) at his expense and as it is
determined, or he may provide another protection for the pipelines as the
engineer guide.
At the places that the pipelines will be expanded through fixed soil (without
bed), contractor should guarantee stopping the diggings of the first stage at
height 75 mm upon the shaping level, and the low part of the trench foot to the
shaping level should be manually and directly implemented before the
pipelines expansion. The trench foot should be trimmed and flat to guarantee
regular support for the whole pipeline. It should also be free from the large
stones or the rocky burrs.
Additional diggings should be made in the trench sides or its bottom for
making the connection easy as it is necessary. Connecting digs should be with
depth sufficient to guarantee thickness by 200 mm at the minimum of the
gritting at the end of the pipeline head as necessary to expand the pipelines on
gritting or inside concrete cover. Trench should be dig under the pipelines level
to leave distance between the shaping level and the pipe body; either equal or
larger than the right dimensions of the charts.
All the unnecessary or improper digging materials will not be used again. Hey
should be disposed in a proper way away from the workplace.
4.6. Pipeline bed:
The digging materials resulting from the trench digging and the digging works
generally should be transported to the general filling areas according to the
employer instructions. In the cases that the digging for pipelines is
implemented near to adjacent buildings, the necessary precautions should be
taken and putting the proper mainstays for such buildings to avoid any damage
may happen to it.
==221==
The remains of digging and/or the loose rocks that are in the trenches bottom
should be cleaned up before putting the pipes bed layer; moreover, if the
natural soil in the trench bottom became loose because of the digging works, it
requires to make the necessary compaction for the soil as stated hereinafter. If
the subjacent soil in the trench bottom kept incoherent, it should be replaced by
other proper materials from off-site. The places of the extra-digging should be
filled up with proper materials that are chosen from off-site, provided that
being suitable for such purposes and free from the organic materials, rocks,
debris, and impurities.
Contractor, if been advised, should expand the pipes on a bed that consists of
sand gritting. The space in the low of the pipes body that is dig as detailed
should be filled with gritting at the full width of the trench as layers. It should

be completely flattened by an approved light vibratory roller or plate tamper.


After the pipeline expansion, sand gritting should be put and flattened at layers
of thickness by 100 mm. This is through )
( ...
If the gritting got harm because of the water, sewage, or fall down of the trench
sides, it should be removed from the trench and replaced by a new gritting
before launching out into expansion or re-expansion the pipes.
Components of the High-grade Sand:
The pipes are expanded on a bed of the clean sand. It should meet the following
grade requirements:
Sieve No./ Size

It is kept compacted until its relative density reaches to 75% (According to the
standardizations of the American Society for Testing and Materials, 4254 D),
or to maximal density by 95% according to the standardizations of the
American Society for Testing and Materials, 1557 D, 4257 D (Whichever is the
greater). It is necessary to choose the proper compaction way which doesn't
cause damage for the pipes. However, it is allowed to precipitate the water only
when the off-site or original filling materials are of the sand type that allows
drying the water out, or of the granular soil type. The places that exposed to
extra diggings or requires extra fillings for achieving the required structural
rates should be filled up with proper materials of low plasticity. It should be
free from the organic materials, the extra fine materials, rocks, and impurities.
Filling is according to the specifications, as the pipes are surrounded by the fine
sand. The bed consists of (20 cm down the pipe + 30 cm up the pipe followed
by the warning tape).
Components of the High-grade Filling:
The high-grade filling above the sand layer consist of pebble or broken rock, as
the digging products are not reused and threw away from the site in a proper
way. Filling material should be of high-grade and fall under the following
grade limits according to the British specifications:

Size of Test Sieves

Gradation is determined according to the requirements of the American


Specifications BS no. 1377. When the materials that passing through the sieve
B.S 425 Micron is tested according to the American specifications B.S 1377,
its plasticity index will be lesser than 6.
The high-grade filling materials in addition to its conformity with the grades
mentioned above should contain percentage of CBR (California Bearing Ratio)
by 25% at the maximum. This is after 96 hours of soaking in the water with
maximal density is 95% according to (The Modified Actu).
Filling materials are put on layers of particular thickness in which the maximal
thickness of the flatten layer reaches to 150 mm. immediately after each layer,
it should be crushed and flattened by either roller for the soil compaction,
pneumatic tire road roller, vibratory roller, or any group of the three types until
the full depth is regularly and completely flattened in order to reach to the
specified density.
The flattening density should not be lesser than 95% of the Modified Actu,
when finishing. The material and the moisture content should be put in the soil
within (1%) and more or (2%) under the optimum rate that is determined
according to the test method of the vibratory hammer that is described in the
British specifications 1377. When the material is little moisture, a sufficient
amount of water is added for getting the proper moisture content. This is after
the layer bed.
It is not allowed to moisten the material while it is stored.
The gritting bed of the pipes should has free drain, also consists of the broken
rocks, pebble, or a ragged layer of sand and pebble. It should be free from the
organic materials, mud, fluvial, building wastes, and the concrete cohesive soil,
also in conformity with the specifications of the American Society for Testing
Materials (ASTM), C 23 Model: 8. The bed material should be able to provide
invariable shaping for the pipes expansion. It should not be subject to the size
enlargement or falling because of the climate changes or groundwater
conditions after bedding and flattening.
4.7. The Concrete Cover:
Contractor should, if been advised, guarantee a full concrete cover for the pipes
as stated on the charts. It should be used, concrete of model C30.

It is not allowed to use the trench sides, wood, plates, or the support plates
instead of the temporary blocks for casting of the bed concrete or the concrete
cover. The space in the sides or any place should be filled with a chosen
packing material. It should not be lesser than 300 mm above the outer surface
top of the pipe, also the ground should be returned back to its solid status
during the work progress.
After checking, testing, and certifying the pipes, concrete should be lowering
carefully inside the trench and carefully accumulated under and around the
pipes with taking the necessary care for preventing the pipes from moving or
displacement from its places in any way.
Concrete should be equally caste on the full width for both of the bed and
concrete cover within 25 mm above the pipe bottom. Accordingly, it is cast
carefully, without stopping, on one of the pipe sides in order to take its path
under the pipe. It is necessary to be sure that there is not any space under the
pipe, after that working is continue for equally rising the concrete level at the
two sides of the pipe until the required final height.
The concrete cover that surrounds the pipes, which its diameters reach to 400
mm with a vertical shape of height by 150 mm, should be implemented on the
outer surface top of the pipe then it is fixed. The necessary concrete cover for
the pipes which its diameters exceed 375 mm with a vertical shape reaches to
the middle of the pipe height, should be implemented then separately casting
the remaining of the concrete cover.
It is not allowed to make the horizontal structural joints in the concrete cover
under the middle of the pipe height, also making the vertical structural joints
except at each pipe coupling. The joints should be expanded through the
blinding concrete when it is necessary. Barriers that are made of the
fiberboards, or another certified material, and shaped according to the exact
shape of the external face of the pipe, concrete bed, or the concrete cover,
should be put at places which touch the last edge of each negative part of the
pipe in which supports the position. They also may be put at distances, which
are determined by the engineer, for stopping the continuity of the concrete
protection. Contractor should take the necessary precautions to guarantee that
there is tight isolation between the barrier and the last edge of the pipe negative
part, and that there is concrete will be entered into the joints.
Contractor should cover the pipes joints, vertical pipes, bends, side branch, etc.
by concrete of model (C) 30 where is required.
4.8. Blinding Concrete inside the Trenches:
Contractor should cast concrete of model (C 30) as determined and where is
recommended by in the trenches for shaping the pipes foundations, the concrete
cover, or the bed. Otherwise is required, concrete thickness should be 75 mm,

while its width should be as the width of the concrete that is specified for the
concrete bed that is cast under the pipe.
4.9. Arranging and Lowering the Pipes According to the Path:
All the jacks or the other lifting equipments should be of capacity that is
sufficient to safely lift the load in the proper range. Also, the pipes should
carefully be lifted without shaking using guide rope for setting the movement,
or using the wooden slopes when lowering the pipes, where necessary, for
shock absorbing, preventing the pipes damage and its outer cover.
All the hooks and claws of lifting the pipes should be lined properly, while the
lifting ropes (bearings) are made of sturdy synthetic fabric of Terylene or
Nylon types from 8 to 12 layers. It should be of proper width for distributing
the load with a width not lesser than 500 mm, and capacity not lesser than load
of 6 Ton. Chains should not be used directly with any of the project materials
during loading or unloading it.
All the supplying materials should be tightly fixed on the trucks or trailers in
order to prevent moving it through transportation. The shaped beds, wedges,
wooden masses, and the rope joints should be used for keeping it from moving
or damage. It should be avoided, unloading through rolling from the slopes.
This way is allowed to be used only after the engineer approval. Slopes of the
pipes are made of wooden sliding bearings. Each pipe slope should be set by
two or more of the guide ropes properly, and fixed in the further side of the
truck or vehicle.
Height and accumulation way are approved by the engineer. Compaction
(Accumulation) should be in a way that is parallel to the wooden joints, or in a
hierarchy way. All the necessary blocks, wedges, plates, etc. are used for
providing balanced accumulation in which each pipe is secure of damage.
There should be a seat of the salient wood in order to be a fixed ground for
each accumulation. Pipes and the special pipes should be coordinated and
arranged in a way that doesn't restrain people and cattle traffic or harm it, not
standing in the way of cattle and paths to the other properties. Pipes are
prohibited to be put in the water well bottoms or the valleys. All the necessary
measurements should be taken for keeping the pipes clean before its expansion.
4.10. Length of the Uncovered Trench:
The length of the trench that will stay uncovered before starting the pipe
expansion should not exceed 200 m. Any trench should not be left uncovered
for more than 20 days as long as the contractor didn't get a written approval
from the engineer regarding this matter. Such period starts from the date that
the digging starts on until the date of returning the ground to its original status.
The total length of the uncovered trench at any area should not exceed 200 m
of the joining pipeline.

4.11. Pressure Pipelines Expansion:


4.11.1. General:
As long as the materials of any gritting, concrete beds, or concrete cover are
not described, the pipes should be properly expanded on a finished natural bed.
After finishing the trench shaping, putting, and flattening the gritting, if
necessary, the connection dig should be shaped with the most possible short
length for passing the negative parts and allowing make the joints fairly. All the
pipes should be leaned on the full length of its bodies, also expanding them in
the rectilinear form or regular curves. If it was required to lug the pipes for
making regular curve, the manufacturing companies for such kinds of
connections should consider not exceeding the allowable tolerance grades for
lugging and curving.
Pipes should be expanded in which produce the least cover for the top surface
of the pipes according to the charts unless otherwise agreed with the engineer.
The retaining concrete masses of the dimensions that are stated in the charts, or
that of the larger dimensions, if been advised, should be put at all the bends,
pieces that are of the letter (T) shape, joints of the graded diameter, valves, and
the ends of the main lines. It should also be shaped in such way that provide at
least the necessary bearing distance for a vertical side of the fixed soil. If there
was only poor soil or for any reason, such masses will not be shaped, contractor
should immediately inform the engineer who in turn determines the necessary
measurement. In some cases, after permission from the engineer, contractor
may use the keys for fixing the pipelines on the next area, etc.
Each pipe should be cleaned up by a brush and checked before expansion, also
choose the metal pipe that is made through centrifuging. It is hammered by the
hammer, while it is suspended on a height in which doesn't touch the ground,
for being sure of its safety. During the pipes expansion and until completing the
works of the contract, pipes should be kept clean and free from remains, mud,
and the other obstacles. Pipes and joints, etc. should be blocked with bored
wooden disks when preparing the trench to the next pipe or after the work
hours.
Any pipe should be accurately checked for being sure that it is not damaged
and that there is no any impact of the internal lining or the external covering
damage impacts. In case of finding any defects, the engineer should be
informed before starting any reformatory works. If the engineer ordered
making the reforms, contractor should reform such defects in an accredited way
that make the protection level as that of the original level.

Each pipe should be carefully lowered on the bed that is prepared for it by
jointers (Slings) and lifting equipments (Hoisting sheave). If the bed got harm,
and the stones fell down in the trench, pipe should be lifted, bed should be
fixed, and the stones should be removed before continue the pipe expansion.
Wherever there is ground water, it should be kept away from the negative parts
level of connection using the pumps.
When it is required to shorten the length of any pipe, it should be cut rightly,
cleanly, and with an accredited way without harming the pipe or its lining. The
parts will be cut should be prepared for reusing it by the pipes manufacturing
company including adding the final touches or remaking the internal lining or
the external cover in order to get the original protection level.
When the contractor is advised, he should expand two pipes or more at the
same trench hole. Unless otherwise recommended or stated on the charts, pipes
are expanded in which the horizontal distance between the outer surfaces of the
pipes are not lesser than 300 mm. When two pipes or more are expanded and
covered by the concrete under a public road, each pipe of them should be
covered by concrete cover. Contractor may, under permission from the
engineer, use vertical barriers for separating the concrete covers, while it is not
allowed to use only the barrier as a block for casting.
All the mechanical pieces, pipes parts; head and tail (positive and negative),
cuffs, collar, or any of the other accredited joints should be collected according
to the instructions of the manufacturing companies. The tails of the pipes are
cut, should be lathed, beveled, or prepared in any other way that suits the
standard connection part.
Touching surfaces for all the joints should be completely clean from impurities,
rust, lubricate, and any other pollutions. Beds of the joints should be clean and
checked for being sure that it is usable. Beds (Seal hoops) should be carefully
installed, also using the lubrication materials (oiling) that are produced by the
joints manufacturing company and that are installed by pushing.
Flanged joints should be rightly installed before linking any screw. Also,
adhere completely to link the screws according to the way that is recommended
by the manufacturing company. When determining the moment status of the
torque, it should be applied as originals.
All joints should be checked, after rightly putting and fixing any filling, by the
standardizations of the thickness calculation or special equipments that are
provided by the manufacturing company as proper.
After finishing the connection, the external protection of the joints should be
made according to the item related to such specifications.

4.11.2. Expansion and Connection of the Steel Pipes:


4.11.2.1. Handing the pipes and putting it in its places:
All the pipe works should be installed according to the instructions of the
manufacturing company and these specifications. These pipes are handled
according to the good engineering practices. All the necessary precautions
should be taken for keeping the protection that are guaranteed by lining and
covering. At all times, pipes should be handled using the proper equipments,
also never pushing or pulling it on the ground; moreover, pipe should be
handled in the way that guarantees the safety for the dimensions of the general
shape of the joint.
The full length of each part of the pipes and installing pieces (joints) should be
firmly fixed on the pipe bed with digging to facilitate the welding of the joints.
The keys and support poles should be provided as necessary and advised. The
proper precaution for the pipelines expansion and shrinkage should be taken.
Pipes should be cut for installing the valves, installation pieces (joints) or a
lock piece cleanly and professionally without harming the pipes or lining, also
leaving a fine part with a right angle on the linear pivot of the pipes. When the
mechanical cutting/clipping is available for cutting the pipes, it is allowed to
cut using the electric arc. It is allowed to use only the qualified workers and
those who have experience in such field. Pipes are not allowed to be cut by
flame using oxygen acetylene.
For keeping the proper distances in the site, pipes should be lined before
welding for a short period that not exceed (5) Km in any ways. According to
the site conditions, the engineer may change this distance during the work
progress.
Contractor should make sure of that direct connection between the pipes and
soil doesn't cause any damage for the tails that will be butt welded, the lining,
and the covering.
Contractor should provide the sufficient precautions for the proper separate
distances between the pipes. It should be left, proper distances between the
pipes lengths to facilitate the following handing during the welding phase.

===231==
4.11.2.2. Steel Pipes Connecting:
The joints that are installed in the site should be butt welded by a full
penetration weld. It should be used; the proper internal installation handles
(Fasteners) for keeping the pipes tails lined in a straight line before welding the

joint. Such internal installation handles should have a fitting design to


guarantee not damaging the internal lining.
4.11.2.3. Welding:
A. Preparation for Welding:
Preparing the pipes tails, removing the cover/lining from the welded joints,
cleanliness, arranging the pipes in a straight light, any prior warming, and
welding should be in conformity with (ANSI B31.4) and (API 1104). It should
be used; mechanical brush or grinding wheel for cleaning. Before welding, the
tails will be welded should be checked as for its cleanliness, being free from
defects, and that any defect nears to tails should be grinded or hammered using
a tool of non-ferrous touching surface. Parts of the pipe that couldn't be
reformed should be cut. In case of cutting using oxygen or the electric arc, slag
and the harmful materials that its color has been changed because of its fusion,
should be removed. Edges that are shaped through cutting by using oxygen or
the electric arc should be smooth, regular, and free from scale and the slag
accumulations. The cutting surfaces should appear as a good metal that is free
from layers, surface defects, or the other harmful defects. Also, the plates
surfaces that will be welded should be free from rust, lubricate, and the other
odd materials. This is for a distance by at least 50 mm from the weld edge.
B. Workmanship Requirements and the Apparent Quality:
Contractor should provide qualified and skilled welders with an accredited
certificate according to the standard (API 1104), as the sixth item of such
standard qualify them to weld the steel pipes, provided that the tests should be
made in the presence of the engineer. Contractor should provide the necessary
proper equipments for implementing that.
The weld of the welded steel pipes should meet the requirements of the
American Water Works Association (AWWA) C 206. In addition to the
conformity with the quality that is specified in the applied system (Law) and
specifications, all the weld works should meet the following requirements of
the workmanship and the apparent quality. Each weld layer should be soft and
substantially free from the slag impurities, porosity, and the extra lower cutting.
Cracks and fusion recession are not allowed to be found; moreover, the final
weld layers should be substantially free from the weld withdrawing waves
( ) , the irregular grain shapes, the high burrs, the deep grooves. All
the weld withdrawing, beginnings, and halts should be on the weld way or
removed by grinding.
When reforming, trimming, or grinding the welds, it should not be made; any
holes or grooves in the main metal and not reducing its thickness.
Parts that its weld should be reformed, should be cleaned properly and
reforming it through an accredited weld way. All the reasons that caused the

defects should be determined, also it should been stated that all these defects
are reformed before allowing the weld continuity. Such reforms are made
without incurring the employer any expenses.
The surface that needs to be weld should be free from scale, rust, lubricate,
paint, impurities, and the other odd materials.
C. Tests:
The full weld length should be completely tested through rays according to the
requirements of the paragraph (UW-SI) of the item no. (8), part (1) of ASME
Code. The percentage of testing the pipes welds through rays should be 100%
of its amount.
4.11.2.4. Lining and Covering the Joints in the Site:
A. Covering
After the joints are welded in the site, tested, and approved by the engineer, the
external surfaces of the joints that are implemented in the site should be
covered according to the standardizations of the American Water Works
Association (AWWA). Covering system of the joints that are implemented in
the site should be matched with that of the next pipes.
Covering the joints that are implemented in the site by polyethylene should be
made using the heat shrink pipes sleeves as follows:
- Before starting welding, being sure that the sleeve is expanded on the pipe.
- Before covering, the pipe external surface should be free from impurities such
as oil, lubricate, moisture, etc., sand, or blasting it by iron filings (shot) for
removing all the impacts of the rust or factories scale according to the
specification (ISO 8501-1) or its equivalent.
-All the covering edges that are implemented in the factory by the filing should
be bevel.
- Warming (heating) of the part that will be covered should be made to 70-80
C.
- Sleeve should be installed on the part that will be covered.
- The pipe external surface should be warmed (heated) to 150 C through the
Propane flame or the hot air. Pipe is warmed and the temperature is regularly
distributed through the pipe surrounding. Also, grinding each part of the
welding area by a steel brush with a width not lesser than 100 mm from each
part.
- The sleeve splicing and the pipe covering should be by epoxy from the parts
by distance not lesser than 80 mm.
- The external surface of the shrink sleeve should be warmed (heated) to 150
C through the propane flame or the hot air. The sleeve is gradually warmed
starting from the middle up to the tails regularly for avoiding any air bubbles
by roll.
- The first layer of covering by epoxy should not be lesser than 150 Micron on
the steel pipe.

- Covering thickness: The minimal thickness of covering by polyethylene on


the main pipes is 3.5 mm. Test measures should be taken at regular distanced
along the pipe external surrounding. Such machine can make a nondestructive
testing. The thickness of the covering is measured by a magnetic or
electromagnetic scale which its accuracy is 5%.
- Testing the covering safety by discovering the electric deficiencies machine
(25)==
B. Internal Lining for the Pipes Joints that are implemented in the site:
After finishing weld, joints testing, making the hydrostatic test, and the
engineer approval, the internal surface of the pipe at the joint should be cleaned
from all the impurities, dust, and wastes. Cement mortar is put according to the
requirements of the American Water Works Association standardizations
(AWWA) as follows:
- The internal joints of the pipe that are lined with mortar should be covered by
the cement mortar and finishing it with the pipe internal surface by polishing,
trowel, or similar way. Before putting the joints mortar on the lining surface,
such surfaces should be carefully cleaned and moisture to guarantee a good
connection between the lining and joints mortar. Joints repair mortar should be
fixed by a treatment compound or keeping it moisture continually for at least
24 hours. If the treatment compound is used, it should be approved by the
engineer, also not leaving a taste or smell for the water that flowing through the
pipes, after getting dry. Pipeline should not be put under service until
maximum 24 hours from the mortar repair are passed. Joints should be finished
in which being polished with the lining internal surface by the trowel.
4.11.2.5. Observing the Quality at the Site:
All the joints weld that are implemented in the site in the steel pipeline should
be tested as specified in the covering examination. It should be in conformity
with the applied requirements of the American Water Works Association
(AWWA) standardizations.
4.11.3. Pipelines Expansion:
Pipelines should be expanded through straight lines. Each pipe should be fairly
set in its proper line and direction. It is set by the surveying rod and the rods of
measuring the level slope which its depth is not lesser than 150 mm and,
properly painted, fixed on studding which its dimensions are not lesser than
100 mm x 75 mm, and steadily inserted in the ground with depth not lesser than
600 mm. It should be installed and kept by a distance not exceed 25 m between
each one and the other. At the minimum, there should be 3 rods for measuring
the level slope for each line of the pipelines.
Pipes should individually be expanded in which the head is in the high part of
the line and according to the stated standards. When the groundwater is

approved, it should be kept under the pipes heads level at connection by


pumping or any other proper tool.
4.12. Expanding the Pipes nearer to each other and the current
services network, etc.
When it is necessary to expand new pipes along, above, or under existing
networks of the sewage pipes, surface water drain pipes, water or gas lines,
electric cables, telephone cables, etc., contractor should show the necessary
care for the least possible interference in the existing services work system and
its connections, also he should fix any damage happens to it at his expense.
Contractor should make all the necessary arrangements for supporting the
existing services networks, and the temporal treatment for the flowing resulting
from any pipes. He should also provide the collection basin, pumps,
equipments, and materials that are necessary for such purpose.
Services networks, pipes, the main tapings, cable canals, etc. that are exist and
uncovered inside the new working trenches should be protected according to
the requirements of the related board before filling the trenches. When there are
not any special requirements regarding it, all pipes should have concrete wall
built of the new digging seat, built under it by up to 75 mm under the existing
pipe internal bottom level. Such space is expected to be filled with (75) mm of
the dry sand which is fairly flattened. Sand is put above and around the existing
pipe with thickness not lesser than 150 mm. Also, cables and its canals are
expected to be supported by a wooden beam that is inserted into the trench
sides. Cables, etc. are similarly surrounded by sand.
4.13. Expanding the pipes under the fences, walls, near to the trees,
etc.
Contractor should expand and install the pipes, special pipes, etc. Also, under
the fences, walls, etc. if necessary.
When fences or walls are damaged or crushed, it should be returned back to its
original status using similar materials as the owners or the occupants and the
engineer are satisfied and convinced.
Contractor should guarantee continually not harming any of the trees or
extracting it from its place under the contract implementation except the sites
that is been advised for, and that permanent buildings will be built at.
4.14. Expanding the pipes through the water supplies:
Contractor should expand the pipes under the bridges, pools, water supplies
wherever facing it, considering the necessary allowance for the seasonal flood
flow.

When the path of any water supply places at an extensive land owned by public
authority, works should be implemented as the engineer of this authority is
satisfied and convinced.
Contractor should implement all the works including the temporal works,
temporal wood works, the water tight, temporal spilling, temporal plumbing
works, etc. in an accredited way. Also, accurately considering the requirements
of any person, persons, general or private authority, or any company has the
authority or the legal sovereignty on the water paths or its sides as the engineer
of such parts is satisfied and convinced.
Contractor should implement the work in such way, according to the engineer's
opinion, that doesn't obstruct the water supply, and not damaging its shape and
use. Also, he should achieve the work in such way, according to the engineer's
opinion, that doesn't cause corrosion in the pipes trench, and not lead to water
infiltration along the pipes trench. As recommended by, contractor should
surround the pipes with concrete of grade (C 30) as stated in details.
Pipes that are expanded in the valleys and the canals bottoms either are covered
by concrete, filled with a soil fixed with cement, or both of them together
according to the engineer's instructions. Pipes that are expanded in the valleys
should be filled according to the way that is specified in the specifications
except the last 750 mm, as it is expected to be filled with a soil fixed with
cement and compacted in layers of thickness by 250 mm.
Soil that is fixed by cement should consist of chosen bed that is completely
mixed with the cement by 1 part of the cement and 20 parts of the soil. Water is
added as necessary for helping in fixing.
4.15. Expanding the marshes areas:
Pipes should be expanded in the marshes areas with the full commitment to the
contract documents and as the engineer advises. The material that is necessary
for the trench bottom and refilling after the pipes expansion should be supplied
and transported to the site by the contractor.
Height of the pipes seat fillings should not be lesser than 60 cm and 160 cm
above the ground and water ground level respectively. The ground surface
should be dig for depth by 300 mm down the normal surface level.
The material of the pipes seat should be flattened/compact for layers, in which
each layer thickness is 15 cm, while the density of Proctor inside it at the
minimum 90%. In any case, reaching to the buildings place is the responsibility
of the contractor. Regarding the maintenance works method, the filling material
(Seat layer) should be flattened according to the standardizations of the

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D 698, while the density
of Proctor inside it is 90%.
Refilling the shoulder of the pipeline may be implemented without any
compaction/flattening.
If it was necessary to prevent corrosion the fillings layers of the pipeline and
the maintenance way through spraying live oil that is treated by exposure to the
climate factors and the nonpoisonous chemicals that are called Sand stills, the
suggested material by the contractor subjects to the engineer approval.
Flattening/compaction of the refilling material at the crossings with the other
facilities (services) in which the density of Proctor is 90%. The way for
compounds and arranging the pipes in its path should be implemented by the
contractor before the pipes transmission.
One of the contractor commitments is that to use a proper material for
implementing this path.
Contractor should cast the concrete channels under the fillings of the pipe with
sufficient amount and size. This is reserve for the drain conditions without
obstacle when the water levels are increased or decreased. All the calculations
and charts subject to the approval.
All the others similar systems of the pipes expansion will be applied.
4.16. The external protection for the installation pieces (Joints):

continuity for the steel pipes through welding short cables through each pipe
joint or around each room of valves that is applied by accredited thermit welds.
He should show the necessary care to guarantee the cleanliness of the welded
area on the pipe before starting the weld. After the weld is completed and the
welded area gets cool, such area should be protected as describes in the
specifications. It is a must to show the necessary care during the trench refilling
in order not to damage the weld or get separated from its place, and not harm
its protective layer.

The pipe should be tested for making sure of the electricity conduct continuity
at chosen syllables which its length is 100 m before and after the trench
refilling.

is expected to use heavy filling or heavy surface loads.
According to the requirements mentioned above, filling works should be made
as soon as possible after the pipe expansion is completed, tested, and certified.
All trenches should be protected from entering the water into it and keeping it
in such status during the filling works progress.
After checking and certifying the pipes, contractor should guarantee that the
space between the trench sides and the pipe, also that is between the concrete
bed or covering, if found, including the lower surface of the expanded pipe on a
trimmed natural shape and rightly flattened by filling material that is chosen
according to the specifications.
Filling material should be put in layers which its thickness doesn't exceed 150
mm. It should be manually and completely compacted using wooden tampers,
or where it is possible to be applied in case of the large pipes by certified
mechanical means. Filling should be continued like this to height by 300 mm
above the pipe body.
After covering the pipes according to the way described above by a chosen
filling material, filling works of the trench should be continued in layers which
its thickness don't exceed 200 mm. Each layer should be manually flattened
using ferrous tampers of weight not lesser than 5 Kg until it is filled to height
by 600 mm above the pipe top.

After that, the remaining of the trench should be filled with chosen filling
materials in layers which its thickness doesn't exceed 200 mm. Each layer

5.1. General:
5.1.1. Work Scope:
This chapter covers the specifications, of all the works of returning the surfaces
back to its original status, which the contractor may meet in the contract
context. Hence, all the surfaces that are harmed because of such contract should
be returned back to its original status according to the specifications stated
below.
Contractor should return the surfaces to its original status regarding all (the
trenches) except the are described other than this; they are returned to a similar
level as they were before starting the processes of putting the pipes or
according to the engineer requirements.
Contractor should proceed the works of returning the surfaces back to its
original status within the necessary seriousness and time. Particularly, the
public crossways, as it requires, the separated period between attempting to dig
the road to extend the pipes and achieving the works of returning the surfaces
back to its original status, to be according to the Ministry of Transportation
requirements.
If it was proven, according to the engineer opinion and after taking into
consideration the special conditions of the status, that the contractor didn't do
all the necessary efforts for achieving the works of returning the surfaces back
to its original status within the seven (7) days that are specified or any
reasonable extension that is permitted by the engineer. Accordingly, the
engineer will be entitled to take additional steps or following alternative
methods to accelerate implementing such works. Such orders that are issued by
the engineer will not exempt the contractor from his commitments that are
provided in the contract.
If it is found that there is a part of a pipe under a public road was not tested
before achieving the works of returning the surfaces back to its original status,
the contractor will undertake the responsibility of accelerating the maintenance
of the pipe and renewing the works of returning the surfaces back to its original
status.

5.2. Maintenance the works of returning the surfaces back to


its original status at the roads:
The works of returning the surfaces back to its original status at the roads and
public footpaths should be maintained and kept sound according to the
satisfaction and conviction of the Transportation Ministry and the engineer.
This is for six (6) months or until the insurance period is expired; whichever
was further. Such surfaces should be left in a proper position when such period
is completed according to the full satisfaction and conviction of the
Transportation Ministry and the engineer. Before such period is completed, the
Ministry of Transportation or the engineer may require implementing any
necessary maintenance works within 24 hours from the related notification. If
the contractor did not abide by such notification, the Ministry of Transportation
and the engineer are entitled to assign who implement such work.

5.3. Asphalted/paved roads (Heavy endurance):


Contractor should coordinately cut and trim both of the trench sides by width
150 mm and of depth 325 mm under the next surface. The trench top should be
shaped by:

engineer and the engineer of the materials or the contractor's representative.
Concrete samples for the test should be taken from the inclined drainage
channels of the mixer, from the concrete that is mixed on the scaffold or
directly on the stand before casting the concrete or according to the engineer's
instructions.
Contractor should prepare a group of the cubes that are six or seven of size by
150 mm for each sample of the concrete for testing. Cubes should be made in
metal moulds according to the British standards (BS 1881) that the contractor
should provide 12 units of them. It should be kept at each site during the
period of casting the concrete.
Contractor should make the necessary arrangements for treating the cubes, then
testing three of them after seven days and another three after 28 days according
to the engineer's instructions and providing the results directly to the engineer.
The remaining cube should be kept at the site. Contractor should provide the
suitable means for transporting the cubes without it get hard or damaged for
any reason. Treatment by moisture, testing and transportation should be made
according to the British standards (BS 1881).
If the value of any of the examined cubes were not matching with the values
that are mentioned in the paragraph (6-35), the contractor should stop the
concrete works until the engineer approve to complete it. Contractor may be
asked for stopping the concrete production, if necessary according to the
engineer's opinion, and re-sequence the concrete approval.
Contractor is also asked for making the drop test (for measuring the extent of
the cement shrink when doubt) everyday at least, or according to the engineer's
instructions and the British standards (BS 1881). The results should be
promising and in conformity with the proven values in the approvals of the
design mixture.

of the moisture concrete without making any significant distortion. It should
also be fixed in its straightness and tightly strengthen to be able to bear the
heaviness of the construction, workers movement, materials and equipments
without making any movement of any type. All joints should be near to each
other in which prevent the liquid infiltration from the concrete.
Contractor should ask the engineer for providing the maps and accounts of the
temporal moulds and supporting structures works.
The places that the concrete casting stopped at should be determined through
dividing the temporal moulds along the reinforcement lines in a way that
enables of setting the position of each part individually and removing it without
making disruption for the reinforcement or concrete.
The temporal moulds should be painted by the flow-facilitate factor of the
certified moulds oil. Emulsions that are dissolvable in water are not allowed to
be used. The new temporal moulds that are made of the wood or the plywood
(Glued laminated timber) should be painted by three coatings of the flowfacilitate factor of the mould oil before using it for overcoming the natural
differences that are resulting from absorption.
It is not allowed that the flow-facilitate factor of the moulds oil to be in touch
with a concrete that is already cast or with the reinforcement.
Before start casting any concrete, all the moulds and its supports should be
checked and accurately examined, then cleaning it from the inside by press air.

Traps are made in the temporal moulds at the level of lifting each concrete to
facilitate the cleaning process.
It is not allowed to use the wire stays that are used for fixing the moulds and
that kept buried in the concrete.
It is not allowed also to use the sleeves or the bolt-holes inside or through the
barriers parts for the water, unless it has not been obtained previously, a written
approval from the engineer.
The approved types of the walls stays may be used, provided that it should
contain the stays that passing through the barrier structures for water

Contractor is not allowed to use any type of the moulds that using it requires
the walls' stays with repeatability larger than one stay for each square meter.
In all the cases that the steel is kept buried in the concrete permanently, the
minimum cover should be as it is determined for reinforcement or by no less
than 25 mm, whichever larger. The wooden or elastic blocks should be
removed as fast as possible after removing the temporal moulds. The holes also
should be filled with mortar of proportion by 1:2 at the fast possible practical
time.
Concrete should include mixture of the Portland cement that is gray and white
sulfates resistance with proportions, in which the mortar color is completely
similar to the solid concrete color.
The square should be completely cleaned by the brush and moisture by water.
The packing should be compacted in a good way and ended by a soft surface in
a flattened way with the concrete surface.
Any mortar that has been spread on the solid concrete should be carefully
cleaned and removed.
6.41. Casting moulds from the sawn plates:
Moulds should be made of plates that are sawn by the saw and properly
saturated with regular dimensions for producing flat surfaces for the casting
concrete, or in alternative way, steel moulds may be used
6.42. Casting moulds of the soft surfaces:
The moulds of the soft surfaces should be made by using plates from the glued
laminated timber for making regular concrete surface.
Moulds of the soft surfaces should be used for all the apparent concrete faces;
either internal or external and wherever the concrete could be apparent in the
future.
All the apparent sharp corners should be ended by trimmed edges of size by 20
mm x 20 mm, unless there are no other instructions.
6.43. Supplying and storing the materials of the reinforcement:
All the reinforcement materials are delivered in a straight or curved status
according to the required shape.

All the reinforcement materials should be stored on wooden supports that are
installed on non-porous tar or concrete tile that are particularly made for that
purpose.
Tile should be kept clean in all the times and free from dust, sand or the other
materials that may come with the wind, cars, feet or any other way.
These instructions should be equivalently applied on the parts of bending the
reinforcement materials that are previously made. The concrete or tar tile
should be made and prepared according to the engineer approval before
delivering any materials for reinforcement to the site
6.44. Reinforcement materials protection:
Before fixing the reinforcement materials and when it is not handed over, it
should be protected from the chemical corrosion impacts that resulting from the
dust that come with the wind and the dew falling or any other harmful impacts,
in an approved way.
6.45. Cleaning the reinforcement materials:
During the fixing process, the reinforcement materials should be free from the
free manufacturing scale and the rust scale. It should not also be polluted by
lubricates, impurities, oils, dyes, dusty sulfates, chlorides or any other material
that may spoil the coherence character, or cause the chemical corrosion for the
reinforcement material or increase it.
Contractor should suggest methods for the cleaning and practically state it for
approval to guarantee meeting such requirements, in spite of considering the
storage general requirements and the mentioned protection.
==281==
6.46. Casting the concrete around the reinforcement materials:
It is not allowed to cast the concrete after more than seven days after start
fixing the reinforcement material that should be covered at the night and at the
times that it is not used.
Wherever concrete could not be cast around the fixed reinforcement material
for long times, it should be protected from the dust that come with the wind of
the dew falling, in an approved way.
6.47. Rebar:
The steel reinforcement bars should be made according to the Saudi standard
specifications 002.
6.48. Wires of rebar:
The steel rebar wires should be made according to the Saudi standard
specifications 224.

6.49. Fixing/installing and supporting the reinforcement materials:


Contractor should check all schedules of the reinforcement bars on the charts,
then informing the engineer about any contradictions.
Contractor should guarantee that the number, size, format and the place of the
steel bars, stays, connection rings, the strap ties of the concrete bars and the
other reinforcement materials conform what is provided in the executive charts.
It is not allowed the interference of anything in the arrangement of the
reinforcement bars. Contractor should show the necessary interest to guarantee
the competence of arranging such bars from all the required faces, also
guarantee being it proven as necessary by loose metal wire of proper size for
preventing it from shifting before and during the concrete casting.
The connection rings that connect the stays, the longitudinal bars or the other
parts as poles, should be tightly tensile to a level in which the main bars
become truly tensile and strengthened at every side.
The horizontal bars and the horizontal parts of the bending bars in the beams
should be arranged parallel to each other and to the sides. The strap ties of the
concrete bars should be kept tensile on the bars that it includes, also keeping it
away from the concrete face according to what stated on the executive charts.
The back bending for the reinforcement bars in the casting moulds in the
purpose of externally bending it after that when removing the mould will not be
allowed without the engineer's approval.
When it is allowed, the reinforcement bars should be externally bended on
former of proper size to prevent any harm or extra strain for the reinforcement
bars.
It is not allowed to use any parts of the steel, masses of the wood or any other
materials other than the approved plastics or concrete separators in the bottom
of the moulds or on the sides for keeping the reinforcement bars in its
positions.
The concrete separators should not exceed 50 mm in the length or width. It
should also constitute of one part of the cement and two parts of soft mixture.
The tensile wire should be buried inside one of the masses faces, while its sides
are tapered by little towards the outside at the direction of the face that the wire
is buried in.
The pattern of the plastics separators should be in a shape that satisfy the
engineer, and then gain his approval. It should bear the loads that re impressed
on it without causing any significant distortion. It should also not lead to
chipping and breaking the concrete cover or to the chemical corrosion for the
reinforcement materials.
Concrete or the steel that is in the concrete works should not be cut in any ways
without getting a prior written approval.
6.50. The concrete cover for the reinforcement bars:
Contractor should guarantee that the reinforcement bars are provided with a
cover of concrete according to the executive charts.

6.51. Bending the reinforcement materials:


All the bending works should be cold made by a proper machine.
It is not allowed using the heat for making hooks at the bars' terminals and also
making any weld in the bars without a written approval. In such cases, all the
safety measures should be taken to guarantee keeping the physical properties of
the steel and not changing it.
6.52. Building and blocking the holes:
Contractor should guarantee that pipes and steel works are installed in the
inside when building the walls and floors or after the holes are constituted, and
then installing the pipes and steel works. It should be shown, the necessary
interest for guarantee the water non-infiltration in the joints.
6.53. Structural separators:
Contractor should constitute the structural separators/joints, when the period
between stopping the concrete casting and starting it again exceeds the twenty
(20) minutes, or wherever is stated on the maps.
Contractor should provide all his suggestions about the structural separators
and the program of the concrete casting in details to the engineer for the
approval.
The emulsion foam of the cement that is accumulated on the concrete should be
removed during the cement solidification by using wire brush or the press
water, before the surface is largely solidified for doing this successfully.
Before casting loose concrete on any concrete that has previously solidified, the
surface of the solidified concrete should be roughed by edge tool for showing
the aggregate, and then filling such surface with water and completely cleaning
it for getting rid of all the odd materials.
After that, a strong mortar that consists of three parts of the cement to two parts
of the sand on the uncovered surface should be used. Then the new concrete of
the somehow dry and solid consistency is carefully flattened on the wet mortar.
Joints/separators are constituted in the beams and the surfaces tiles in the
middle of the expansion distance between the supports, unless otherwise
instructions are given.
Such separators are made with vertical faces in which it is not allowed
constituting any structural separator among a tile or beam and wall at the level
of the wall face, but it is constituted inside the wall by depth 1/8 of the wall
total thickness. The joints positions in the walls are set according to the
engineer approval and before starting the concrete casting.
In any reinforcement concrete works, a cavity of the letter (V) is constituted in
the never-ending concrete before it is solidified. In the normal concrete works,
joints/separators should have cavities by width 50 mm and 40 mm in the walls
and the concrete hoops of the pipes which its thickness is 200 mm.
The concrete hoops that its thickness exceed 200 mm, cavities by width 50 mm
and depth 100 mm are constituted for it. The cavities positions are determined
according to the engineer approval and it is constituted at the both of the
vertical and horizontal surfaces.

6.54. Joints of expansion and shrinkage:


The necessary materials for the joints of the expansion and shrinkage including
the water seals should be obtained from a certified supplier.
The joints of the expansion and shrinkage are made according to the details and
dimensions that are stated in the charts or according to the engineer's
requirement. It will be consisted of the joints fillings and the seals as stated
below.
In the joints of expansion and shrinkage for the sealing parts, the water seals of
the central hole or any other type of the elastic water seals by width 230 mm, is
used as stated in the charts or as detailed in the amounts' schedules.
Water seals are manufactured with the possible largest lengths in the
manufacturing places. It should be continuous along the building length under
the highest level of the water.
The contractor suggestions about making the water seals continuous in all
buildings are provided to the engineer for the approval.
The joints fillings should be of the Cellulosic type, compressible, elastic and it
should not become crisp at the cold conditions. It should be made of the
grained wood that is saturated with bitumen, cork, cork that is combined with
the rubber or with the resign materials.
Water seals should be of certified type and polysulfide. The engineer should be
convinced that the seals that are provided by the contractor have the suitable
properties of adherent, dilatability, flow resistance, and resistance for the
chemical components and the climates in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It
should also be suitable for the protective paints, when it is necessary to paint
the joints. The lining layer for the paint should be obtained from the same
manufacturing company of the seals.
Seals should be accurately kept in the places that are stated in the charts. It also
should be protected in all the building stages. Barriers that are on the two sides
of the seals should have the proper shape.
The cavity of the seal should be flattened as stated in the charts. Contractor
should provide the wooden plates on the barriers or during the building. In the
horizontal joints, such plates are left or the cavities are properly protected until
the process of blocking the joints is ended. Sealing process is made for the
surfaces of the expansion joints when the next concrete surfaces are dried.
The wooden plates or any other protective means should be removed before
directly putting the joints' permanent seal. The amount that will be removed
should be the amount that putting the seal in it takes only one day.
Holes should be cleaned well, coated with a proper paint lining and filled with
the certified seal with accurately committing to the instructions of the
manufacturing company
Before putting the seal, contractor should be sure of that the filling in the joints
secure fixing support in which the seal does not impact by the loads that are
resulting from the next concrete surfaces.

6.55. Concrete casting:


Concrete is not allowed to cast, unless the reinforcement is examined and
approved by the engineer's representative, and the casting moulds are cleaned.
Contractor should cast the concrete within no more than 15 minutes after
giving it out of the mixer cylinder. It is not allowed using any concrete after it
starts its initial solidification. Any group or a part of a group started
solidification is rejected before using.
Concrete should be cast in a way that doesn't cause any separation and shaking
it by certified immersion vibrator which its vibration should not be less than
8000 round/minute. When starting the concrete casting, it should be continued
until finishing the casting in one continuous process between the two joints that
are previously determined. Concrete should not be vast under the water.
When there is a sufficient amount of the concrete inside the mould for
submerging the vibrator, the shaking process should start and continued during
the casting.
It should also be provided, sufficient number of the vibrators and keeping them
in an operational status inside the mould for getting the maximum compacting
and avoiding any separation in the concrete materials.
In any ways, it is not allowed using the vibrators for moving the concrete
horizontally inside the moulds. The operation of each vibrator should be
supervised by one worked who devotes all his interests to such job during the
concrete casting and in the course of the casting progress. It should be shown,
the necessary interest for preventing the vibrators to be in touch with the
reinforcement bars.
Contractor should guarantee that there is sufficient number of the equipments
and the reserve machines that are able to guarantee the continuity of the
concrete casting without stop if any trouble happened.
The full apparent surfaces should be kept in semi-horizontal configuration as
possible during the casting process. The concrete surface, wherever apparent,
should be given free finishing, unless otherwise is guided with, and left with a
solid soft face. Wherever the concrete is cast, contractor should firstly operate
the soft part for getting a solid soft face.
Concrete should not be fallen in the place that is determined for it from a height
by more than 2 meters. Wherever the work requires casting the concrete from a
height by more than 2 meters, it should be used, inclined channels and drainage
according to the engineer's approval for preventing the concrete materials
separation.
It should also got, the engineer's approval for the used methods in shaking the
concrete deep castings. Unless the contractor is otherwise guided with, he cast
the concrete with the full depth of the beams, tiles or the similar parts all in one
process.
In the reinforcement concrete works, concrete should be freighted among the
reinforcement bars and around it. It should be shown, the maximum interest for
preventing any shift or bending for the bars, stays, connection rings, the strap
ties for the concrete bars or the other parts for the reinforcement bars.

The maximum horizontal length of the wall or the floor at any direction that
should be cast in one process is 7.5 m. Building the walls and floors are
consecutively made with allowing a term of seven days between the adjacent
casts except the places that are provided with water seals, as such period should
be reduced according to the engineer's approval
In an alternative way, a hole may be left by width 600 mm among the castings
and filling it after a period by no less than 7 days after constitution.
When it is necessary using the salient concrete castings at the cast
separators, its height should be at least 100 mm. In addition, it should be
built at the same time of casting the concrete that it is based on.
In arranging the cast mould, contractor should consider what is required for all
the ends of the necessary seals and for replacing the cast moulds for the walls'
faces as necessary in order to lock the building holes with any width.
A record, includes the time and date of the concrete casting at each department
of the works, should be kept at the site.
6.56. Concrete casting in or under the water:
The method of casting the concrete in or under the water should be in such way
which the concrete that is cast is, as possible, far from the direct touching with
the water; this is for avoiding the fast movement or making any impact on the
uncovered surface.
Concrete should be cast, when possible, in one process. If this is unworkable,
the emulsion foam of the cement, aggregate or any odd materials that may be
previously accumulated on the concrete that is cast should be fully removed
before casting the additional concrete. After that, such concrete is directly cast
on the surface that has been cleaned.
The pipes of casting the concrete that is under the water should be soft from the
inside, sealed for the water infiltration, equipped with fast-dismantle joints and
have a cross section enough to the size of the aggregate that will be used.
Hoppers of the down-opening should be of straight-sides, fully soft, equipped
with coupled doors that are opened from the down and operated from the
outside and has overlapping backflows ==
Only the bags of the lug that are used for the small casting, and for casting the
small discontinuous amounts of the concrete.
Concrete that is freighted in bags should not be used for the permanent works.
During and after casting the concrete under the water, the processes of
pumping or the water drainage at the next area should be stopped, until the
engineer permit its continuity.
Contractor should provide his detailed suggestions about the concrete casting to
the engineer and take his approval for that.
6.57. The concrete treatment and protection:
All the concrete should be treated by moisture for a period by no less than 10
days directly after the concrete casting. Contractor should do his best to restrict
the change range at the temperatures that the concrete is under it.

All the horizontal and vertical faces of the casting moulds and the uncovered
concrete should be covered by gunny or the jute bags that are stature and
should kept completely wet by water continually.
The temperature of the water that is used for this purpose should be at near
temperature of that of the concrete, but no less than.
All the covers should tightly be fixed at its positions to prevent the air-current
proceeding under the covers, through the new concrete or the casting mould
surface.
When removing the mould during the minimum treatment period, the saturate
protective covers should be replaced immediately, and that is directly touching
the uncovered surfaces of the concrete; this is to prevent exposure the concrete
to the climate.
The discontinuous treatment for the protective covers is not allowed during the
treatment period. Contractor should use the workers at other than the work
hours in addition to the observers to guarantee respecting the conditions
mentioned above accurately.
All the concrete surfaces should be protected from any matter that may
interfere in the solidification process.
It is not allowed impressing any load on the concrete parts after removing the
compressibility lists, until the concrete is fully solidified and achieving the
desired power after passing 28 days.
It is not allowed using the sprayed membranes that constitute the treatment
components, unless after the written approval by the engineer.
The treatment component should be of white dye and clearly give visual dyer
membranes when using it on the concrete to guarantee full coverage. The
component should be nontoxic and used by following the recommendations of
the productive company accurately.
The engineer's approval for using particular component and its usage method
should not be granted unless after the contractor make satisfactory field
experiments and preparing samples that have been taken before 28 days.
The treatment by membranes should start at the nearest practical time and
implementing it by using the spraying. Contractor should take all the necessary
safety measures to guarantee not polluting any of the concrete surfaces as a
result of using the treatment component on the horizontal surfaces.
The treatment component is used after 10 minutes from achieving the cast
processes, if the surface water disappeared and directly after finishing the
spraying. The surface should be protected for a period by no less than 8 hours
by movable tires that are covered by dimmer material.
The cover should provide a continuous coverage which should be between 100
and 300 mm above the concrete surface. If it was of the absorptive type, it
should be kept fully wet. On the vertical surfaces or that constituted, the
treatment component is directly used when the mould is removed. Wherever
the mould could not be removed within 12 hours from the casting process, the
mould should be protected from the direct sunrays. Wherever it is been guided
of that, the mould is sprayed by water to reduce the humidity loss from the
concrete to the least extent.

All the joints that should be filled with sealed component, the surfaces that
constitute structural separators in a way that guarantee nit casting any treatment
liquid on the surfaces that a concrete will be cast on it after that through putting
the wet gunny or any other certified way, should be protected.
Protection should also guarantee true treatment for the joint surface and the
next concrete, and it should be kept at its position until providing the joint
surface with seal or for at least four days.
According to the engineer's opinion, if using components for treating the
surfaces for the purpose of the concrete treatment not a satisfactory matter in
any ways, the approval will be withdrawn and contractor should apply the
treatment method by water that previously described.
6.58. Removing the casting moulds (tensile):
Contractor should inform the engineer's representative of his intention for
removing the moulds and that he should guarantee the following minimum
periods for removing the moulds :
The
vertical
moulds for the
poles, walls and
the large beams
The minimum
mould of the
arch surface for
the tiles
Tiles supports
The minimum
mould of the
arch surface for
the beams
Beams supports

24 days

8 days

14 days
8 days

21 days

Contractor should completely be convinced with that the concrete had achieved
sufficient structural resistance before removing the moulds.
==291==
Moulds should be removed without making any concussion or shaking that
may harm the concrete, and it should be done under the supervision of a
competent supervisor assigned by the contractor. If the works got damaged or
harmed as a result of the supports and moulds removal, the contractor should
fix it regardless any permission or approval that is granted for removing such
moulds or supports.
Based on what mentioned above, the side mould is built in a way that allows
removing it as soon as possible after casting the concrete and before it is
completely solidified in order to allow completing the surfaces properly.

6.59. Seats of the machines and cement injection:


Seats in which the machines and pipes works will be put on, should be made of
soft-surface concrete and according to the dimensions that are stated on the
approved charts of the machines or as the engineer orders. The seat surface that
the machines will be fixed on should be completed by the metal trowel as the
valid plane surfaces.
The structural concrete that the seats will be made on should be made by
roughing and cleaning its surface.
Seats should be tied on the structural concrete by the vertical reinforcement,
while the horizontal reinforcement is always supplied at the level of the hook
retainers cavities.
The cavities of the hook retainers should be formed for the cement injection in
a way that satisfies the engineer's satisfaction. Knowing, it is allowed using the
forming tools that are made of Polystyrene, but when the expanding metal is
used as a forming tool, it should be left at its place.
It is necessary to make a way for the machines' supplier to examine all the
seats. When the machines are built, the cavities of the fixing pins should be
filled according to the engineer's instructions by using free-flow cement
injection that is non-shrink and that is resistant for the fatigue that resulting
from the frequent dynamic load, when it gets solidified. Cement injection
subject to the engineer's approval.
Tools should be managed under the contractor supervision and at the engineer
presence, after the cement injection is solidified. When the contractor is guided,
he should achieve the cement injection by filling the space between the
concrete top surface and the down side of the machines' seat plate.
6.60. The items of the concrete:
6.60.1. General:
In the concrete works, all the restraints, inserts, sleeves, etc. should be supplied
and fixed as detailed or as necessary for the success of the work or adding the
other general works before casting the concrete in the moulds
The similar items that are required for the contractors sub-work for the
mechanical and electrical works should also be supplied and fixed by them
before casting the concrete; moreover, giving them a term and enough facilities
for their work. Knowing, the enough support should be provided to avoid
happening any displacement.
6.60.2. Hook retainers:
All the hook retainers should be galvanized by the hot dipping according to
(ASTM A 153 67)
Unless otherwise is determined, the hook retainers should be made of the steel
by size 5/8 inch according to (ASTM A307) and the impediment is as stated.
Hooks should be orthogonal with the concrete surface.

6.60.3. Steel ornaments:


It should be fixed, lamellar metal ornaments of the same type and measure of
the used leveling sheets.
6.60.4. Pipes:
It should not be replaced, any rebar to make a place for fixing the hooks and
boxes. Pipes should be put at the center of a particular part of the concrete. A
distance by 3 inch at least should be left free from the expansions that are
parallel to the rebar. Pipes should be fixed at its places.
Unless otherwise is approved by the engineer, the maximum diameter of the
pipe should be 1/3 of the wall or tile thickness. It should be left, a distance
between the pipes' centers by no less than threefold of the diameter of the used
pipe.
The pipe should have the same concrete covering that is necessary for the
rebar. Pipes that its nominal diameter is larger than 2 inch or any pipes should
not be buried unless after a written approval from the engineer
6.61. Finishing the surfaces:
Contractor should make the works of casting the concrete in such way that
leave the concrete surfaces, after removing the moulds, homogenous, soft and
according to the required specifications regarding the straightness and
equability.
Wherever the contractor get a written approval for forming the holes inside or
through the concrete, such holes should be fixed by a complete galvanism of
the cement mortar from the two sides in which the holes extend through the
concrete. After the mortar is solidified, the invisible surfaces should be painted
by two layers of the black bituminous
Contractor should stop, remove and re-establish any work that, in the engineer's
opinion, below the required standard.
In an alternative way, according to the engineer's instructions and choice,
contractor may be allowed adjusting any completed work properly by the
electrical machines, also adjusting the defects of the surfaces by roughing,
moisture and wiping by mortar that is constituted of a part of the cement and
two parts of the sand that is accurately washed.
Cement should constitute of a mixture of sulfate resistant normal gray or white
cement mixed in proportions in which the mortar color similar to the color of
the solidified surrounding concrete.
The adjustment works are made according to the given instructions, and it does
not exempt the contractor in any ways from his commitments regarding
removing the cast works and re-establishing them unless, in the engineer's
opinion, the adjustment works did not cover such required level for completing
the surfaces.
When the surfaces should be uncovered, contractor should remove the mould
as fast as possible, based on what is provided in above. He should also scrape
them by Silicon Cardman to get a soft completed surface of the first-class.

Contractor should use the Silicon carman grinders that are mechanically
operated, if it was necessary in the engineer's opinion.
All the horizontal and vertical angles, plinths, castings, etc. should be left in a
good case and free from the scrolling.
Floors including stands, channels, the down surfaces and the surfaces should all
be planed by the trowel to get a soft and proper completed surface by using
metal trowel, except the places that otherwise is determined for them in the
amounts' list. The surfaces of the roads should be flattened to get a soft
completed surface.
The finish works for the uncovered concrete surfaces should not be made
unless by skilled and experienced workers of such field of works. These works
also should be according to the full satisfaction and conviction of the engineer
who is entitled to order eliminating any worker who is not skilled enough to
implement such type of works, and use only those who have the required skills.

6.62. Concrete works under the hot temperature:


Contractor should take all the necessary safety measures to reduce, the opposite
effect of the high temperature, the low relative humidity and the wind speed on
the quality of the solid or loose concrete, to the possible least extend.
The measures that are taken by the contractor for considering the requirements
that are stated in these paragraphs about the concrete works at the hot
temperature, subject to the engineer approval before starting the works of the
permanent concrete.
The maximum temperature of a concrete that is newly mixed should be 30 C,
provided that exerting the possible efforts for casting the concrete at the
possible minimum temperature.
Contractor should take the following measures to set the temperature of the
mixture, water, and the newly mixed concrete:
A) Providing windbreaks, covers, and shadow for the aggregate, mixers, the
inclined channels for draining the concrete and at the positions of casting the
concrete.
B) Providing sufficient amounts of the water, hoses, pumps, nasty-nozzles
spraying to cool the aggregate, the mixing cylinders, casting positions,
reinforcement materials and the concrete treatment by moisture
C) Painting all the storage soils, containers, water tanks, trucks and the mixing
cylinders with the white color.
D) Providing the cooling equipments and the ice making, or the cooling
equipments to cool the mixture water, isolating the tanks and the pipes works
properly
Contractor should make the necessary arrangements for mixing, transporting,
casting, compacting, strengthening and completing the concrete in the possible
shortest periods. He should also exert special effort to avoid all the delays.
Contractor should provide enough vibrator equipments to start the works of
compacting and strengthening after casting the concrete; moreover, keeping the
rate of compacting and strengthening the concrete at the hard sites.

It should also be provided, one reserve vibrator unit for each two used units of
them. All the reserve units should be ready and available at the workplace and
it should be tested and operated in every day the works of casting the concrete
progress at.
The connecting surfaces should be made by the sand blasting or cleaning by
high-pressure water before casting the concrete, also filling the conic tensile
holes as fast as possible after removing the moulds
According to the engineer's opinion, if the speed or temperature of the
environment, dust, sand that come with the wind, rain or any assemble between
any of these factors became excessive in intensity in which may harm the
concrete or casting it, he may stop casting the concrete until the prevailing
climate get better.
Concrete samples that are taken for testing should be handled and treated
immediately, also making the tests and taking the samples without any delay.
In addition, the samples should be protected from the sun, wind and the dry air
and doing the best to keep a regular temperature and humidity for the tests'
samples.
Contractor should provide and keep the temperature standards ad write down
the temperatures of the mixture, cement, the mixture water and the concrete
that is newly mixed, also the temperature of the air under the shadow and its
relative humidity for each of the mixture units and the moulds during casting
and treating the concrete by moisture.
6.63. Re-making the defective works:
Contractor should remove then re-make any structural parts from the work or
any part of it that shows, in the engineer's opinion; either before or after
removing the concrete, that the concrete was defective during casting or that it
is not properly cast, not flattened enough inside the moulds. Also, some of the
reinforcement bars are lost, wrongly fixed or moved from its place or the
concrete that is cast is not treat enough. He should also remove that shows any
defect or harm for any reason whatever its type was, and that may affect badly
on the strength and burden of the structure.
6.64. Water sealing property:
All the concrete structures should be water sealed according to the satisfaction
and conviction of the engineer.
6.65. The liquid mortar that is used in injection:
The cement mortar that is used in injection is made of sulfate resistant Portland
cement according to the specifications by the least approved amount of the
added water to get the required liquidity level.
It is not allowed adding sand or the other materials to the cement mortar that is
used in fixing the bolts, etc. in which a sufficient approved amount of sand and
additive materials free from chloride are added to reduce the shrink.

6.66. Mortar:
Cement that is used for mortar is of the sulfate resistant Portland cement type,
unless otherwise is provided. In addition, the sand of the mortar should be in
conformity with the British specifications (BS 1200) with limits from the
chloride and the sulfate as specified to the soft aggregate of the concrete.
6.67. Finishing the ground by granolithic concrete:
The following paragraphs and schedules consider three formats of the methods
of the floor finishing by granolithic concrete, which are: The consolidated and
unconsolidated Monolithic structure. The table below states the minimum and
maximum thicknesses and the spacing dimensions that should be applied.

The spacing divisions should pass through the thickness of the granolithic
layers and it should be in conformity with the expansion structural joints.
Contractor should for structural concrete floors that suit the granolithic layers
that are mentioned in the schedule above as necessary for each applying in
which guarantee finishing the surfaces in right slope and level.
Preference should be given for forming a basic concrete for the slopes to make
the layers with regular thickness.
It is preferable using Monolithic layers on the basic concrete that on the floor.
The granolithic concrete should be cast within three hours (or least in the hot
temperature) to let the granolithic layer take its position before the concrete
solidification, otherwise such structure will not considered Monolithic.
The consolidated granolithic finish of the floor is formed on a solidified based
concrete, in other words, on hanged concrete floors.
The maximum coherent is obtained through a mechanical roughing for the
concrete surface, moisture it and leaving it for one night followed by fine-shape
mortar of cement free from sand. Such cement is spread on it and followed

immediately with the mixture of the granolithic layer before the mortar
solidification
It is allowed using coherent materials of certified trademark instead of the fineshape cement mortar without leniency with the other precautions.
The granolithic layer will be considered of the incoherent type when it is cast
on separating films, humidity resistant films and concrete that is previously cast
and couldn't be roughed mechanically.
The defect of "warping" is avoided by being sure that the layer is cast with total
thickness by 75 mm on two separated layers in which the period between the
first casting and the second one does not exceed one hour in addition to
guarantee all the other considerations.
The thickness of the flattened first layer should be 35 mm before casting the
second layer to get the full-flattened thickness.
The mixture of the two layers should be similar and have the same proportion
of the cement and water.
After finishing the layer flattening and flooring, its surface should be planed by
the trowel and following this by another plane after two hours to lock the ends
and the tiny bores. It is not allowed making another plane until the layer
surface is solidified enough to get a solid flattened surface without making any
concrete film.
The layer should be kept moisture as long as possible to delay starting the
shrink until it is solidified enough to bear the strains that resulting from the
shrink.
The cast should be covered by a cover of the polyethylene
The mixture of the granolithic concrete should be constituted of the following
proportions 1:1:2 size of the cement: soft aggregate: rough aggregate
considering small adjustments to expand the sand size.
The aggregate should be according to the materials' department of these
specifications and the British standards 1202, the second chapter (meter). The
following tables also should be according to the British specifications 1201. It
is allowed constituting a mixture of the soft aggregate and the rough or mixed
normal aggregate according to the engineer approval.

After finishing of the digging, it is shall to clean the formation and purify it
from any loose or bad material. In the case of that, there is loose blots, it is
shall to be prepared it at the required level, by high-quality filling up. Then, it

is shall to prepare and prune the formation level according to the stripes of the
required containers. And to flat it until, the required concentration with
minimum 95% of the maximal dry concentration is achieved. It has been
reached by the ASHTO rate test.
Therefore, any filling up, that is required to raise the formation level, should to
be from high-quality filling material, as described in item 3-13.
8-3-2 The material of the layer that is under the basis:
The material of the layer that is under the basis should to include natural sand
and shingle or crushed rock, and the material should to be with good gradient
and to be within the following gradient limits:

(309)

==310==
Before the processes begin at least 30 days, the contractor should submit to the
representative engineer a full written statement, which is about the quality, the
validity and site of the ingots that will be used for the main layers.
Before the paving and the flatting are made, all materials of the main layers
shall be examined by the engineer. Where the central mixing laboratory is used,
it is necessary to take a symbol from the material for the approval, directly after
the mixing process in the laboratory. When the mixing process is made on the
base of the road, the symbols shall be taken from the common storage of every
layer, and that's shall be before they are paved. The approval of the material
doesn't mean that the layer that under the foundation is approved fully.
8-3-4 the putting of the main layer:
The material of the layer should be imported to the base of road as a
homogenous mixture. It is put to the prepared surface of the layers that finally
is rammed layer that its thickness is maximum 150mm. Further, this thickness
may be difficult because of the defined thickness. So the engineer can request
to reduce this thickness. The material should be flatten by gravel pavers or any
other approved means to be regular layers. The material should be handled to
avoid the separation of granules. It is necessary to avoid and stop the ways or
equipment that causes the separation of granules. Furthermore every material
that causes the separation of granules should be replaced by suitable material.
The contractor should arrange the work, in order to achieve enough the strength
and the fixture, before the material of the adhesive layer is transferred. Every
layer should be treated sufficiently, in order to allow the next layer linked.
8-35 the mixing and treatment process of the material:
If it is necessary, the mixture and treatment process of the material should be
made in the central treat laboratory.
(310)
He engineer can allow making the mixture on the road base, if he is convinced
that this way provides homogeneous material for the main layers. Where this
mixture made, the martials should be put in various storages and to be mixed
by approved means on the road base.
8-3-6 the squash and flatting:
After every layer has been put, it is necessary to be fatted immediately by
(hooves of sheep), masher with pneumatic frames, vibrated mashers, or any

group of these three types. That's made, until the layer will be fully flatted and
homogeneous, according to the defined thickness.
After the flatting has been finished, the flatting thickness of the main layer
shouldn't be less than 100% of the AASHTO thickness, and the flatting
thickness of the layer that is under the min layer, should be 95% of the
AASHTO thickness.

8-3-7 the water addition:


The flatting should be implemented, when the material have moisture such +2%. If the martial need more moisture, it is necessary to add enough water in
order to achieve the suitable moisture, that's shall be after the material is
flatten.
The material shouldn't be moistened, when it is gathered or in storages.

8-3-8 the flatting tests:


After the flatting is implemented, every layer shall be tested in order to define
the field thickness of the base layers. The field thickness shall be defined in
according with A ASHTO T.191. Further, the thickness should be adjusted in
order to compensate the size and weight of the gravel, which is more than the
used gravel in the test of the flatting check.
(311)
It is necessary to make an experiment at least for every 200m2 of the surface of
layer, which is under the foundation or the main layer.

The concrete should be free from any dirt, extra mortar, crystalline deposits,
orany remaining light layer from the oil casting molds or from the compounds
of the concrete treatment. If the last mentioned way is used, it will be necessary
to clear the surface by the sand with the compressive air. Moreover, it will be
necessary to wash the surface by approval cleaner or soap, then, to rise and dry
before the painting process. If there are cracks and big failures after the
painting, they shall repair later.
It shall be free from any dirt, extra mortar or crystalline deposits (crumbled
materials) and it shall be dry completely. If there are cracks and bid failures
that can't cover with the block filler, they shall be repair by their dilution.
Further, if there is necessary to use filler for the bock works, it shall be used
before the final finish process.
The concrete should be solid and dry. Moreover, the surface that is painted
recently should be tested by the hygrometer before the painting process.
Further, the humidity should be in according to the recommendations of the
related painting factor. Before the painting process, it's necessary to remove the
deposits of the sand, the gravel, the mildew and the disjointed granules and to
repair the surface failures before the painting process. The cracks and the
punctures should be repair by the concrete that is rolled out properly on the list,
and then they shall be sandpapered in order to be smooth.
(347)

If any crystalline deposits are formed on the surface, it shall be necessary to


remove by the brush regularly until they are removed. Finally the final face of

tongues, perforations and the facing surfaces should be painted by initial layer
during the installation. In order to, avoid the moisture absorption, if those
perforations are still open after the decoration.
All surfaces should be sandpapered by the light emery papers towards the fiber
in order to achieve smooth finished surfaces. Further all sharp ends shall be
round slightly.
All nubs and the resinous parts should be painted by the nubs paint, and then
they shall be leaved until they are solid completely. If there are big nubs, they
should be cut covered and flattened in order to have smooth surface.
Before the main layers are put, any dust should be removed. These layers
should be put enough and then they are painted well by brush, specially the
terminal fiber.
10-8 the preparing and using of the protecting decorating for the
woods:
(348)
The woods should be prepared as if they shall be painted for the final finishing.
They shouldn't have any nabs; initial cover, and they can't be covered by any
material.

The protecting decorating material for the wood should have organic solvent
and resistant for the water and its colors are constant. Further, it shall be

assembled steel woody components, before and after the fixing process.
10-9 the usage/put of the paint general:
All paints should be put and prepared in according with the factor's
instructions. So, any diluents or cleanerscan't be used but the materials that are
recommended by the painting factor.
All brushes, tools and equipment should be always clean. The surfaces should
be clean and they shouldn't have dust during the painting process. The painting
process can't be cleaned next to other processes, because that causes dust
accumulation. The final painting layer should have regular color that is free
from the effects of the brush or the paint flow or any other failures.
10-10 the metallic surfaces- general:
The preparing of the metallic surfaces and the protecting painting layers that
are anti-corrosion should be in according with the last emissions of the related
standards and cods.

Affaires_Project to complete the first phase for Comprehensive Water Hail
Project.
The preparation of wire brushes is not an acceptable way for the surface at this
stage but it can be used as a complement for the final phase in paint processes.
10-12
Paint Usage (outer layer)
The thickness of thin and dry layer for each paint layer as well as the entire
system must be in accordance with the recommendations of the paint factories.
The number of layers should achieve the minimum required thickness of a
thin layer.
Moreover, each degree of layer should have different color In order to easily
determine the intensity, extent, strength and stretch coating layers.
If not provided otherwise, in this case, the process of Thinning needs to be
taken into account if it is necessary for good finishing of the coating material.
Then it is supposed to be appropriate with the latest recommendations of the
manufacturer's instructions and is not allowed to paint thinning excess of limit
for spraying paint.
Generally ,the terms of cast iron pipes work and valvesetc do not
require finishing and decorating in open air or exposed to immersion in water
should have a specific finishing Insulating material(specified Albetomy).
When the steel materials and ferrous castings expose to erosion or immersion
in water, then the finishing paint should contain Epoxy resins.
Sstainless steel, non-ferrous materials prone to corrosion, is coating without
painting, but if considered that the corrosion possible to happen then you must
finish with biotin or epoxy.
This kind of materials which are not susceptible to immersion in water such as
valves and water works, form a part of the other equipments that can be
repainted for the purpose of decorating.
If not stipulated otherwise, the contractor can choose the adequate security and
protection system in painting surface according to suitable equipments as
described in the relevant standards.
On the other hand, the major elements of
The Program is for guidance only as the harsh environments In particular,
requiring details about protection systems that must be delivered to the
engineer to be approved and then carry out the work.
(10-13)
The first protective coatings:

In the beginning you clean all the surfaces in order to remove grease and
protect it from corrosion by mentioning the following methods:
if not stipulated otherwise, the work of steel castings and must be painted with
epoxy paint founding based on zinc.
-The engine exhaust systems and other equipments exposed to high
temperature operating result should be sprayed Aluminum
-painting the interior surfaces of tanks, containers and other surfaces in contact
with founding anodized red epoxy in case of exposing to water or fuel oil
wells .
- It
is necessary to spray containers of steel sheets of control, distribution
panels and tiles surfaces with special zinc etc. ............. or hot -dip galvanization
of 100 microns at a minimum
- painting surfaces with primitive layer by using zinc and chromium in order to
facilitate the adhesion and cohesion with coatings
- The separating outer surfaces from potable water or oil, such as works piping
(piping or buried steel workers must be painted by using epoxy with adding
tar as described in detail in Chapter IV(pipe works)
(10-14)
Layers of paint medium enterprises:
After decontamination the surfaces, we should cover the openings, grease
points, control devices and automatically treated surfaces completely. And any
defects on the surfaces must be repaired until the appearance of metal by
scraping it, filling gaps by toothpaste and then finishing according to the
manufacturer's instructions. When the first plating layer is solid, we must
remove the whole layers by using wet and dry sandpaper to give a smooth
surface.
Metal Works galvanized or zinc-plated strengthening layer must be founding
before placing Initial plating layer.
(10 -15)

Final Layers of enamel paint:


Machinery & structures must eventually spray with two layers of steel finishing
enamel of the desired color.
Also each layer should be thin and dry which amounting 45 micron.
But when finishing work, equipment may be susceptible to damage during
transport, so the equipments must be transported to the building with only
foundational layer plating layer and placing only foundational layer and a layer
of enamel paint brushing after installation as mentioned in agenda.
The steel plate of small solar modules for electric control and distribution
panels must be finished into two layers of enamel paint glass installer

thermosetting enamel required color in order to give a dry, refinement, overall


thickness of about 100 microns.
Prior to the transmission from manufacturer we must scan the paintings
unfinished, repair any defect is found paint working
Also, these paintings must be adequately protected in cases of potential
damage during transportation, installation.
Finally, it is necessary to protect all concerned parties.
(351-352-353)
Protective coverings should remain in place until the completion of full works
in buildings being done where these panels will be installed and accepted by
the architect.
The final layers of painting equipment must be protected away from liquids
such as water Diesel, Antifreeze and lubricant oil .etc.
It is necessary for shipping an additional paint box with quantity (1 liter) for
each color of the paint of the same once.
As well as the final layers of painting machines and control panels can be used
for the purposes of building maintenance.
(10-16)
Combinations of layer paint:
All machines & pipe work and steel structures must be installed under the
water level or underground by painting with Tar Epoxy For the sake of
protection.

Non-coated Steelhead surfaces:


All rotating shafts, gears convertibles and surfaces operators that would
normally leave without Painting must be protected temporarily by using tallow
before being sent from the location to the factory.
Layers of protective coatings should be solid to bear the damage which could
occur during transportation and installation or trial operation.
(10-18)
Non-Ferrous surfaces Preparation:
All non-ferrous parts need to paint must be rubbed with a cloth and rough
abrasives washing within a lotion (acetone, two parts oil) and then dried to be
used for applying to oil.
Coating surfaces by using the following steps:
1. Initial layer of Zinc chromate.
2. Foundation layer.
3. Two layers of enamel finishing with the required color.

NOTE: Surfaces consisting of aluminum, chromium and parts of stainless steel


are usually left without paint.
Location paint working:
In supplying different parts of the equipment to the site and through
installation, evaluating and processing buildings for the installation of the
equipment under the leadership of skilled, experienced workers as follows:
a) All surfaces must be cleaned and scraped with wire brush to get
rid of stains, scattering spots, dirty points, dust etc..........
In the case of damage to the surface layer constituent, it must be
scraped the metal so that it appears with original position and the
flame cleaning by flame or machines or Paint Brush.
b) It is important to erase all grease, on the other hand , nominal
paintings ,lube points and control devices should be covered etc.
........
c) Any damaged parts we can scrape it but nude metal with its
contents (fastening screws, nuts, bolts and washers,) which are
installed during construction and mend all separators and the
parties.
D) The corners and welding seams must be coated with a layer topical cream
by using the same Original Paint, but with different color.
All the acts of final touches must be in accordance with the instructions of its
Paint factories.
E) Finishing the remaining layers by placing demanded color by the
architect.
F) All the temporary paint layers being put to protect the pieces from
grease.
Paint working must be operated either by brushing or spraying device
In this case, the air must be free of dust, and all neighboring areas should
be covered completely.
You should not Perform Paint work surrounding by bad weather, as the
dust resulting in Surface staining
All surfaces must be dried and the required temperature needs to be above
4 percentages less than 30 Celsius. It is forbidden to re paint until the last
layer is dry completely and waiting time for drought which recommended
by the manufacturer.

and the loads on the device which these pipes are connected with.
- Distances between the supports should depend on the diameter, thickness and
weight of the elements that constitute the pipes networks.
- Hangers and supports should be properly set.
- In the pipes of the external diameter to 405.4mm (16 inch), the seats should
be replaced by supports of saddle-shape to avoid the risks of distorting the
pipes.
- Elements that are welded on the pipes (Ex: angles, the lifting lug, etc.) should
be of the same materials that the pipes are made of.
- Pipes supports should be designed in which it should not interfere in the
displacement that is resulting from the extension.
When it is necessary, it should be used; the cylinders, springs, equal loads or
any other tool that guarantee transporting the pipes freely.
On the other hand, the supports that constitute points should be fixing and
completely integrated with the pipes in which keep such supports at its places.
For this purpose, the lifting lugs should be welded on the pipes here and there
around the shackle before the cold tensile for avoiding any sliding.
The fixing points should also be tightly connected with its fixing points
(columns, beams, etc.). Contractor should be sure that the load at these points is
within the allowable limits.
In all the cases, the supports should be kept as simple as possible without any
unnecessary pieces. It should also largely benefit from the weld considering the
construction facilities that should not be neglected.
Insulating the supports that are in the concrete or the brick walls is not allowed.
In this case, it should be used; a group that constitutes of the bars and the wall
plates that cover a space of the walls suitable for carrying the allowable unit.
It should be avoided; extending the supports in the columns and also at any
other place other than the equal structure of the reinforced concrete beams,
unless otherwise is not agreed upon with the engineer who will ask the
contractor, at that time, to provide the necessary fixing bores.
In the opposite case, such structural elements should be tied.
All the necessary should be made for fixing such supports on the metal
pieces/parts of the buildings by skilled plumber. As seat, such metal
pieces/parts should be punched only after the engineers approval.

The metal parts/pieces are allowed to be punched for fixing the supports, and it
should also be implemented by using a power drill. It is forbidden using
oxygen flame cutting for punching the supports for the installation processes.
If the engineer does not allow punching, the supports should be fixed by the
shackles or the bends.
In case of using the many common supports, each pipe should be separately
fixed for enabling dismantling the pipes without dismantling its next pipes.
In the odd cases and after the engineers approval, a pipe may be connected
with another, if the last pipe (connected) does not cause large amount of the
extra stress and also does not interfere in the motion of the first pipe.

The gauge of the measure devices is as recommended by the manufacturer
company. It is made before and after testing each system (device) makes noise.
The
observer
should
attend
all
the
tests.
The whole area that is around each test point should be surveyed by the

microphone for being sure that the acoustic pressure level represents the direct
near area.
Measures should be taken in some of the positions that are at equal distances
from each other. Such measure is taken in half of a circle that its center is the
noise focus.
The microphone is put at height by 1.5 meter above the ground and at distance
by 1.5 meter away from the walls in the minimum.
When it is found that the difference in the measure data around noise center is
higher than 5 Decibel, it should be taken; more measures in positions within the
area of the high noise levels for specifying the direction pivot more accurately.
15.9.3.2. Test Environments:
The measure devices are put during the tests in a way in which the air currents,
vibrations, the magnetic or electrical field and also the other odd factors that
may make change in the readings of the measure devices are avoided.
For finding the opposite noise of a specific piece of the equipment, it should be
considered the following:
- The noise level should be measured in the surrounding area while the
equipment is off.
- If the noise levels in the surroundings for each extent equal (10) Decibel or
more under the test levels, it is not necessary making corrections for the test
data.
- If the noise levels in the surroundings are between 3 and 10 Decibel under the
test levels, the corrections should be made.
- If the difference between the noise level in the surroundings and the test level
is less than 3 Decibel, the measure will not represent the noise. Hence, it will
not be accepted.
Readings should be taken at the first while the voice device works on the slow
speed. The visible average value of decibel (A) and the value of the frequency
should be recorded.
Hence, readings are noticed while the voice device works on the high speed. If
the time changes were larger than 5 decibel, the minimum and maximum
readings that are on the measure (A) and (C) should be recorded.
15.9.3.3. Tests Reports:
Before the experimental operation, the contractor prepares full report about the

order to issue remote references (requires without voltage).
I. the changing / alternation:
If a circle cutter links two parts in the public connectors (assembly rods), it is
necessary to take into account to provide remote or manual alternation system.
The normal operating of the electrical keys group should have medium voltage,
open partial link cutter and closed cutters on the incoming supply line.
It is not allowed to operate the both parallel supply lines and link mechanism,
between the two parts of the closed partial link cutter.
If there is damage in incoming supply line (voltage drop), voltage converter or
other damages, which aren't dangerous to the electrical keys groups, the
referential cutter of the supply circle is unpowered. Further, the partial link
section, which have disarranged medium voltage, is able to change and
alternate to the arranged supply line, and that will be done when the partial link
cutter is closed.
The off order of the partial link cutter (assembly rod) may be issued from the
electrical keys group remotely or nationally. That's according to the
remote/national selection key situation which is installed on the references
panel, which belongs to the public connection damage (assembly rods), lack of
closing (the improvisation), and closing. P. (472). It should be used to clear the
data on the panels and to issue the remote signs. The change and alternation
progress should be possible with only the sign of the public connector damage/
the assembly rod and imperfect closing (no improvisation). The implement of
change and alternation progress is prevented by turning off the circle cutter of
the extra currant or the dangerous damage of the electrical keys group. The
burning process is necessary, in order to return to the natural situation, after the
damage of the electrical ability is repaired manually from the electrical keys

panel. The signs issue of the no remote alternation and alternate damage should
be included in the international statement and the external usage.

not necessary. The control cables beside the control cables or the low voltage
cables are not necessary. The low voltage cables beside the low voltage cables
in which the diameter of the cable is 7 cm minimum. The high voltage cables
beside the high voltage cables are 15 cm interfacial distances that are separated
by the bricks in a vertical position, or 30 cm without the bricks. Separating the
pipes and crossings
Separating the path
- Between the high voltage paths and the low, it should be put a bricks barrier
along the path.
The specified distance between the cables is 15 cm.
- Between the high voltage paths or between the low voltage paths and the
connections pipes, it should be put bricks barriers along the path.
- The specified distance between the first connection cables and the cables of
the other paths is 30 cm.
- If possible, the low voltage paths are put between the high voltage paths and
the telephone paths or the path of the measure cable.
- The paths of the cables that are passing through the same trench as pipes, will
have minimum distance by 30 cm. In all the sites that are related to the
maintenance and reform such as the valves' poles, it should be left a suitable
distance for passing through without touching any of the existing cables.
Crossing and extending many layers
- If the cables or the central paths were crossed, cables are put in many layer;
one above the other, and it should be separated by concrete or sand plates of
distance by 10 cm.
When crossing with the cables paths, pipelines or its equivalent, cables should
be put inside a solid pipe that is made of the flexible (PVC) with the maximum
bending arm. Protections will exceed the cross by distance 1 meter from the
two sides.
- If the cables were extended in many layers, the high voltage cables should be
in the lower layer.
16.9.7. The pipes path
16.9.7.1. Wall cross

The cables paths from the buildings to the ground pipes will be fixed on the
external wall of the buildings and sloped to the outside to avoid the water
penetration

The terminals of such pipes and the reserve pipes will be isolated with the
polyurethane or any similar material. Such isolation should be completely
water-proofing
16.10.7.2. Another crossings

The protection pipes that are used for the crossings of the cables, pipes, walls,
road, etc., will be made from the solid (PVC) of diameter by no less than 100
meter. The thickness of the wall should be no less than 4 mm, with high
resistance to the sunrays, the ultraviolet and the conditions of the environment
temperatures.

and the materials before starting the work.
Contractor will provide all the necessary equipments and tools in the sufficient
amounts such as the elevators and the machine of extending the cables. Also, if
necessary, elevators and dynamometer for making the soil borings' tests and the
cables' handles.
16.9.8.2. Cables pulling

When putting the cylinders on the elevators, the guide shaft will determine the
contrary direction. After removing the protection boards, the cables will be
examined for finding the visual defects.
When the cables are dismantled, cylinders should be manually moved to avoid
any stress for the cables.
The small cables, it may be used without elevators beside the trench cables,
then putting it in the trench.
The ground cables pulling is avoided in all the cases
When pulling the cables specially when the pipes are necessary; this is
considered a special case, as each individual length will be extended in the
same direction means that the terminal (E) meets the terminal (A) from the next
length. Wires that have the same color may be connected without passing
through pipes.
Cables will be supported by a circular cable that is put in distance varies
between 3-4 inch at the curve corner of the circular cable and according to the
maximum extent of the bending.

The holds of the cables terminals will be fixed and there will be a rope that is
fixed on these holds. It is not allowed pulling from the cables' ends.
The actual stress will be controlled by a dynamometer that is fixed on the rope.
If there were insufficient numbers of the circular cables, cable will be held in
the assistants' knowledge in a distance varies between 6-4 m.
Before pulling the cables inside the cables' pipe, the free roads of the pipes
should be examined, this is may be only when pulling on the straight
substations. Even in the case of fixing the circular corners, each pulling point
should be observed by the inspector.
In the beginning and end of the wires' pipes, the cable should not touch the pipe
edges. The edges should be rolled or making a suitable support from the
cardboard or the jute bags.
The insulated bitumen should be put in a pervasive way down the cables. Holes
should be blocked to avoid the sand penetration.
Before and behind the cables' pipes, cables should be put in zigzag way for
balancing the cables stability inside the trenches.
Before connecting the cables to the engine of the connection boxes, the closed
circuits should be fixed on the cables before leaving the ground.
The diameter that is specified for the pipes may be only used until 80%. Hence,
the diameters of the cables should be arithmetical added.
When pulling the cables, only the cables of the one-type that are pulled; this
means the cables of the high voltage, low voltage, connections, measures and
the cables of control.
The allowable maximum radius of the bending for the different types of the
cables should be strictly considered.
16.9.8.3. Extending the cables in the buildings:

enter in, while its screw part has a diameter that does not damage because of
the tensile and entering. It should be provided by marks that are put in a
prominent place on it to guarantee the true collection in the site. The flanges,
lockers and the measurements that prevent the vibration are provided under the
engineers approval when it is necessary.
When the corrosion danger is found, the bolts and studs are designed in which
the maximum stress does not exceed the half of the yield stress in all the
conditions. All the bolts, nuts and screws that subject to frequent adjustments
or dismantle for the maintenance should be made of the steel that is incorrodible and painted by nickel.

feeding for implementing and testing the works and also making the test when
achieving the pump. He is responsible for providing such feeding.
18.14. The temporal storage, protection and filling:
A. Filling:
The pump is protected enough and filled in which reaches to the site sound and
not damaged. The protection method and filling should be proper for sustaining

under the conditions that it may be exposed to during shipping and supplying to
the site. This is should be proper in which the filling is proper to bear the long
periods of the storage in the outside. It is prohibited that the one box of
shipping or the one charge include materials of a pump that is wanted to be
used in more than one part of the works.
All the materials of the pump are clearly marked to state its type like the filling
regulation that is put in each box or charge of shipping. It is protected by a
cover that is resistant to the weather conditions. The filling regulation should
be in conformity with the charge invoice or the commercial invoice that is
accompanied by full index of the cards organizer and the other paper works.
All the boxes and charges of shipping have clear marks, that are water-resistant
and could not be deleted, state the weight, the place of centering the load and
the place of hanging the lifting and tensile belt. It should also be provided with
marks that identify the filling regulations.
The glaze surfaces and the surfaces that are corrosion-resistant are protected by
using the rust-resistant varnish, the lubricate that of a high melt degree or its
equivalent. It is supplied with the pump; sufficient amount of the proper
solvent to remove such protection material.
All the flanges and mating surfaces are protected by wood plate or its
equivalent. The bolts that are used in fixing such template are not of the bolts,
screws, etc. that are a part of the final installations.
The engines are protected enough against the deterioration during transporting
it to the site and inside the site. The proper steps are particularly taken for
protecting the engine and the surfaces of the starters column from the
corrosion. This is either by proper treatment to the surfaces, or if this was not
possible, the engines may be charged with each other (Starters or the rotor
parts) with a proper humidity-absorbent material. Such materials should be
stamped inside protective plastic containers that are put inside filling boxes
stand on holders that are shocks-absorbent to obstruct damaging the bearings or
the windings during the transportation.
If such devices will be transported while they are fully installed, the movement
of the rotors is fixed by wedges that are put within the starters to double the
bearings protection.

shipping boxes that are resistant to the weather conditions, are protected by the
covers that are resistant to the weather conditions to avoid harming it because
of the weather conditions. The additional protection is secured, when
necessary, against the machinery damages.

Pumps and engines may need to be stored in the site for long-term periods;
consequently, it should be arranged and kept in a way that obstructs damaging
or harming it.
The submerged pumps are stored within temporal building with good
ventilation and fully shadowy against the direct sun rays. During such storage,
