3.04.01 Pipe Embedment

Pipe embedment is defined as that material required to bring the trench bottom up to grade and that material placed alongside and above pipe to a level of at least 6 inches over the top of the pipe. The pipe embedment area is divided into three zones as defined below.

Bedding: Bedding is that portion of pipe embedment zone beneath the pipe. If the native soil is suitable for bedding the pipe without over- excavation, the bottom of the trench shall be accurately shaped such that one fourth of the pipe circumference is provided with uniform bearing and support for each section of the entire length of the pipe. Imported bedding material shall likewise be placed to provide uniform and adequate longitudinal support under the pipe. Bedding material shall be placed and compacted in lifts not to exceed 6-inches in loose measure.

Haunching: Haunching is that portion of the pipe embedment zone from the bottom of the pipe to the springline of pipe. Haunching material shall be placed and consolidated to provide adequate side support to the pipe while avoiding both vertical and lateral displacement of the pipe from proper alignment.

Initial Backfill: Initial backfill is that portion of the pipe embedment zone from the springline of the pipe to a minimum level of 6-inches over the top of the pipe. Initial backfill material shall be placed and compacted in lifts not to exceed 6 inches in loose measure. Compaction shall be performed in a manner to avoid damage and disturbance of the embedded pipe.

3.04.02 Compaction

Unless otherwise specified by applicable permits or roadway authority, bedding, haunching, initial backfill, final backfill, and gravel resurfacing shall be compacted to the following percent of the maximum density as determined by ASTM D1557.

The Contractor shall furnish and install a control system compatible with the supplied pump.

The controls shall include; circuit breakers for the pump and alarm system, magnetic contactor, mercury level control floats, a high liquid level alarm, running and alarm lights, and a Hand-Off- Automatic selector switch. All wiring shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable state and local electrical codes. The installation shall be inspected and approved by the State Electrical Inspector.

Electrical service to the lift station shall be either from a new properly sized circuit breaker in the existing circuit breaker panel servicing the home, if space permits, or through a separate subpanel. Separate circuit breakers are required for both the pump magnetic contactor and for the alarm system. In any case a fused disconnect is required if service entrance panel or sub-panel is greater than 50 feet from the lift station and/or not in clear sight of the lift station and shall be located as shown on the drawings or as directed by the Project Manager.

The control panel shall be a NEMA 4X enclosure and shall house the "Hand-Off-Automatic" switch, green "pump on" indicator light, a terminal block for connecting the mercury float level controls, and the alarm system. The green "pump on" light, red alarm light and silence button shall be mounted through the enclosure door.

The electrical cable housing from the switches to the control panel shall be Type UF 14 gauge copper single conductor cable. Splices shall be made by using mechanical connectors and covering with heat-shrink tubing.

1/06 Technical Provisions TP 12.0 Individual Lift Station Page 3

12.05 Control System Functional Requirements

12.05.01 Demand Dosing

The liquid level in the individual lift station is sensed by three mercury level control switches suspended at different elevations from the top of the lift station. The first (lowest) mercury level control switch shall be a redundant off switch and shall de-energize the pump should the middle dual action on-off float fail. The middle float shall be dual action and energizes and de-energizes the lift station pump. The third (highest) mercury level control switch energizes the red light and alarm bell indicating a high water level condition.

During the normal mode of operation, the HAND-OFF-AUTOMATIC switch shall be in the "Automatic" position. As the liquid level in the individual lift station reaches energize level of the middle dual action mercury level control switch, an electrical signal shall be transmitted through the buried electrical cable to the control panel. The controls shall energize the lift station pump and green running light. As the liquid level in the individual lift station drops to the middle de-energize level, an electrical signal shall be transmitted to the control panel which shall de-energize the lift station pump and green running light. This cycle shall continue to repeat itself. Should the middle dual action on-off float fail, the redundant lowest level float shall de-energize the pump and activate the alarm bell and red alarm light indicating a low level float failure.

If the liquid level in the individual lift station rises to the top mercury level control switch, the red light and alarm bell shall be energized indicating a high liquid level condition. The alarm shall be silenced by manually pushing the "Alarm Silence" button, however, the red pilot light shall remain energized until the liquid level has fallen below the third mercury level control switch. This high liquid level light and alarm shall operate independently of the position of the pump selector switch.

When the pump selector switch is in the "Hand" position, the mercury level float switches shall be overridden and the lift station pump and green running light shall be energized independently of the liquid level in the lift station. When the pump selector switch is in the "Off" position, there shall be no power provided to the lift station pump and green running light.

12.05.02 Timed Dosing

Timed dosing may control the liquid level in the individual lift station, if specified by the Project Manager and shown on the drawings, with three mercury level control switches.

The third (highest) mercury level control switch serves as a high water level alarm and energizes the red light and alarm bell indicating a pump failure condition. When the pump is operational and dosing overload occurs, the liquid level will reach the second (mid-level) mercury level control switch and the timer shall be overridden, energizing the lift station pump and the green pump running light on the control panel. As the liquid

1/06 Technical Provisions TP 12.0 Individual Lift Station Page 4 level drops, reaching the first (lowest) mercury level, the control switch overrides the timer and de-energizes the lift station pump and the green running light.

When the liquid level in the individual lift station does rise to the third (highest) mercury level control switch, the alarm shall be silenced by manually pushing the “Alarm Silence” button. However, the red pilot light shall remain energized until the liquid level has fallen below the second mercury level control switch. This high liquid level light and alarm shall operate independently of the position of the pump selector switch.

When the pump selector switch is in the “Hand” position, the timer and mercury level float switches shall be overridden and the lift station pump and green running light shall be energized independently of the liquid level in the lift station. When the pump selector switch is in the “Off” position, there shall be no power provided to the lift station pump and green light running.

12.06 Piping

12.06.01 Lift Station Influent

Fittings shall be Schedule 40, ASTM 2466, except for the union, which shall be Schedule 80. The union shall be installed within easy reach from the manhole cover, hand-tight only. The male adapter that screws into the discharge port of the pump shall not be glued in place; standard plumbers’ pipe joint compound shall be used.

12.07 Force Main

The effluent force main pipe from the lift station to the shallow drainfield shall be the size shown on the drawings, PVC 1120, conforming to ASTM 2241. All fittings for the pipe shall be 160 psi PVC with rubber compression ring joints or schedule 40 PVC with solvent welded joints.

The force main pipe shall be laid on grade in a trench at least 12-inches wide. Care shall be taken to bed the pipe in a material that is free of rocks or otherwise unsuitable material. Backfill shall be compacted by hand from the bottom of the trench to a minimum of 6-inches over the top of the pipe for the full width of the trench. A minimum of 18-inches of cover is required over the top of the pipe.
