SANITARY SEWERAGE

05/18

NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for piping and appurtenant structures for an exterior sanitary sewer system.

Adhere to UFC 1-300-02 Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) Format Standard when editing this guide specification or preparing new project specification sections. Edit this guide specification for project specific requirements by adding, deleting, or revising text. For bracketed items, choose applicable item(s) or insert appropriate information.

Remove information and requirements not required in respective project, whether or not brackets are present.

Comments, suggestions and recommended changes for this guide specification are welcome and should be submitted as a Criteria Change Request (CCR) .

For corrosive soils select materials, coatings or cathodic protection systems in accordance with UFC 3-230-01. When cathodic protection is used include Section 26 42 13 GALVANIC (SACRIFICIAL) ANODE

CATHODIC PROTECTION (GACP) SYSTEM.

NOTE: For Army and Air Force, impress current cathodic protection(ICCP) may be used. When ICCP is used include Section 26 42 17 IMPRESSED CURRENT

CATHODIC PROTECTION (ICCP) SYSTEM.

PART 1 GENERAL

NOTE: In areas where problems with root penetration

SECTION 33 30 00 Page 4 are anticipated, specify pipe which has the kind of joint which will successfully resist root penetration. Generally speaking, the more watertight the joint, the greater the resistance to root penetration will be. Rubber-gasketed and compression-type joints are considered to give the best performance for this application.

When using plastic pipe in areas with contaminated soil or groundwater, consult with the manufacturer regarding permeation of pipe walls. When pipe is installed in contaminated soil or groundwater consult with the manufacturer regarding selection of appropriate gasket material based on type and concentration of contaminants and refer to AWWA C605.

Plastic pipe is subject to temperature limitations which must be observed.

Use caution if considering concrete pipe for septic flows. Depending on septicity, these pipes may not be satisfactory.

Give special attention in the design stage of project to plastic pipe materials, particularly with respect to superimposed external loads which could cause excessive deflection of the pipe. The degree of sidefill compaction should be considered realistically, particularly in marginal cases.

Where different classes, strengths, etc., of pipe are required for different sections of long pipelines due to significant differences in external loading, expand or modify the applicable paragraphs of this specification accordingly. Show the limits for each class, strength, etc., either on the project drawings or appropriately describe them in the applicable paragraph of the project specification.

Pipe joints: When more than one type of joint is applicable for the specified piping, permit each as a Contractor's option except where watertight joints are necessary or in areas where root penetration problems are anticipated. In these cases, rubber-gasketed or compression-type, or solvent-cemented joints are preferred. Use fuel resistant joint gaskets when required.

It may be necessary to modify chemical requirements for cement under certain conditions. Sulfate resistance is required for concrete pipe when pipe is carrying sulfate-bearing waters, or when pipe is buried in soil containing sulfates. Specify Type II (moderate sulfate resisting) cement when water-soluble sulfates (as S04) in the soil are in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 percent and, for water, are in the range of 150 to 1000 parts per million.

Specify Type V (sulfate resisting) cement when soils

SECTION 33 30 00 Page 5 contain in excess of 0.2 percent water-soluble sulfate and water samples contain in excess of 1000 parts per million. In areas where reactive aggregates are known to occur, specify low alkali cement.

1.2 SUBMITTALS

SECTION 33 30 00 Page 12

NOTE: Review submittal description (SD) definitions in Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES and edit the following list, and corresponding submittal items in the text, to reflect only the submittals required for the project. The Guide Specification technical editors have classified those items that require Government approval, due to their complexity or criticality, with a "G." Generally, other submittal items can be reviewed by the Contractor's Quality Control System. Only add a “G” to an item, if the submittal is sufficiently important or complex in context of the project.

For Army projects, fill in the empty brackets following the "G" classification, with a code of up to three characters to indicate the approving authority. Codes for Army projects using the Resident Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for Architect-Engineer; "DO" for District Office (Engineering Division or other organization in the District Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for Resident Office; and "PO" for Project Office. Codes following the "G" typically are not used for Navy and Air Force projects.

The "S" classification indicates submittals required as proof of compliance for sustainability Guiding Principles Validation or Third Party Certification and as described in Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL

PROCEDURES.

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" or "S" classification. Submittals not having a "G" or "S" classification are for Contractor Quality Control approval. Submittals not having a "G" or "S" classification are for information only. When used, a code following the "G" classification identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government.

1.3.1 Installer Qualifications

Install specified materials by a licensed underground utility Contractor licensed for such work in the state where the work is to be performed.

Verify installing Contractor's License is current and state certified or state registered.

1.4 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING

1.4.1 Delivery and Storage

Check upon arrival; identify and segregate as to types, functions, and sizes. Store off the ground in a manner affording easy accessibility and not causing excessive rusting or coating with grease or other objectionable materials.

1.4.1.1 Piping

Inspect materials delivered to site for damage; store with minimum of handling. Store materials on site in enclosures or under protective coverings. Store plastic piping and jointing materials and rubber gaskets under cover out of direct sunlight. Do not store materials directly on the ground. Keep inside of pipes and fittings free of dirt and debris.

[ 1.4.1.2 Cement, Aggregate, and Reinforcement

NOTE: Delete this paragraphs if cast-in-place

] 1.4.2 Handling

Handle pipe, fittings, and other accessories in such manner as to ensure delivery to the trench in sound undamaged condition. [Take special care not to damage linings of pipe and fittings; if lining is damaged, make satisfactory repairs.] Carry, do not drag, pipe to trench. Store solvents, solvent compounds, lubricants, elastomeric gaskets, and any similar materials required to install the plastic pipe in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation and discard those materials if the storage period exceeds the recommended shelf life. Discard solvents in use when the recommended pot life is exceeded.
