About this file

This document contains technical specifications for cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining of sewer pipes. Key details include the following:

The specifications cover furnishing and installing CIPP lining systems for sewer pipes located at the National Park Service's Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. Requirements include preparing submittals, quality control plans, disposal plans, and styrene management plans. The CIPP must meet performance standards such as a minimum 50-year design life, flexural modulus of 125,000 psi, and flexural strength of 4,500 psi. Installation must follow standards such as ASTM F1216 and involve cleaning pipes, inspecting via CCTV, wet-out and curing the tube, sealing ends at manholes, and post-installation video inspection. Field samples will undergo testing to verify physical properties.

E. CIPP Joint at Manholes:

1. Seal ends of CIPP at manhole to achieve watertight pipe seals.

2. For CIPP passing through manholes,

a. Build up the invert to remove any flow restrictions and to form a continuous invert through the manhole.

b. Cut and remove CIPP material above the top of the existing channel.

c. Grout and shape the bench of the manhole as necessary to support the CIPP.

3.4 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS

A. Styrene and Temperature Control:

1. Take precautions to minimize the release of styrene and mitigate styrene odors generated during the setup and CIPP lining process, and prevent such odors from entering structures, businesses, or other types of establishments.

2. At no time will water, condensate, or any other material be allowed to discharge into downstream outfalls or water bodies. Any water, condensate, or other materials shall be contained, transported offsite, and disposed in accordance with all EPA and MDE standards.

3. For CIPP installations in separate storm sewers, upon completion of cool down process, flush fully-cured and cooled-down CIPP. Flushing shall consist of jetting entire surface of CIPP twice with clean water. All flushed water shall be collected, transported offsite, and disposed in accordance with all EPA and MDE standards. At no point will flushed water, contaminated water, or any water containing compounds categorized as contaminates according to EPA and/or MDE be allowed to discharge into the Canal, within the project site, on offsite properties or any location other than that allowed by EPA and MDE.

4. Styrene air emissions shall comply with Federal and MDE requirements.

3.5 POST-INSTALLATION VIDEO INSPECTION

A. After lining work is complete and service connections are reinstated and reactivated, perform a post-installation inspection of the CIPP in accordance with NASSCO Pipe Condition Assessment Using

CCTV Guideline Specification.

B. Post lining CCTV inspection is considered incidental to the CIPP lining work unless shown otherwise on the Contract Drawings.

3.6 SITE RESTORATION

A. Restore the project area affected by the Work to a condition at least equal to that of existing prior to the work.

B. Site restoration is considered incidental to the CIPP lining work unless shown otherwise on the

Contract Drawings.

3.7 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL AND TESTING

A. Government will verify the physical properties of the installed CIPP using an independent third-party laboratory, at Contractor’s expense, selected by Government.

B. Prepare and provide field samples to Governme for testing as follows:

1. Provide the number of samples for the linear feet (LF) of CIPP installed as follows:

a. Less than 1,500-LF – one (1) set of three (3) samples from a single location.

b. 1,500 to 3,000 – one (1) set of three (3) samples from 2 different locations.

c. Greater than 3,000-LF – one (1) set of three (3) samples from each 3,000-LF or portion thereof.

d. The number of samples sets taken are independent of the number of different Reaches lined.

e. Locations will be determined by NPS.

2. The samples shall be restrained samples for diameters of CIPP less than 18-inches; and flat plate samples for diameters of CIPP 18-inches and larger.

3. Flat plate samples shall be taken directly from the wet-out tube, clamped between flat plates, an cured in the downtube.

4. Samples for UV cured CIPP shall be restrained bag samples.

5. Label all samples with the date of installation, manhole number, and street address where the sample was taken.

C. All test will be in accordance with applicable ASTM test methods to confirm compliance with the requirements specified in this Section as follows:

1. Thickness.

2. Short term flexural (bending) strength.

3. Short-term flexural modulus of elasticity.

4. Tests will be completed for only one (1) of the three (3) samples collected for a given Reach.

5. The other two (2) samples will be stored by Government for additional testing if any samples fail to meet requirements of this Specification or the applicable ASTM.

D. The Contractor may, at its discretion and cost, conduct additional testing using additional samples.

3.8 ACCEPTANCE

A. Acceptance of the CIPP shall be based on compliance with this Section as demonstrated by curing logs, post-installation inspection CCTV, and laboratory test results.

1. The layers of the finished CIPP shall be uniformly bonded such that:

a. It shall not be possible to separate any two layers with a probe or point of a knife blade so that the layers separate cleanly, or

b. That the knife blade moves freely between the layers.

c. All layers, after cure, from one homogeneous structural pipe wall with no part of tube left unsaturated by resin.

2. The CIPP fits tightly to the internal circumference of the existing pipe, and a membrane integrally bonded to the internal circumference of the felt, thus forming a smooth, chemically inert internal flow surface.

3. Inspection results showing defects that exceed accepted tolerance levels as defined in the table below shall be remedied by the Contractor.

4. The repair method chosen by the Contractor may be the Acceptable Remedy listed in the

Table below.

5. The Contractor may also submit an alternative remedy for approval by Government and, if

Government approves the alternative remedy, the Contractor shall install the approved remedy.

Defects Accepted Tolerance Levels Acceptable Remedy
