Movement of construction machinery over a culvert or storm drain at any stage of construction will be at the Contractor's risk. Repair or replace any damaged pipe. Protect concrete pipes with a minimum of 3 feet of cover prior to permitting heavy construction equipment to pass over them during construction. Provide the minimum cover for construction loads over corrugated steel pipes as specified in Section 26, Division II of AASHTO HB-17. Provide minimum cover for construction loads over plastic pipes as specified in ASTM D2321.

3.6 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

3.6.1 Tests

Testing is the responsibility of the Contractor. Perform all testing and retesting at no additional cost to the Government.

3.6.1.1 Leakage Test

Test pipe lines for leakage prior to completing backfill by performing either an exfiltration test, low pressure air pipeline test or by individual pipe joint testing. Submit leakage test results to the

SECTION 33 40 00 Page 5

AMENDMENT 0003

(AMD0003)

(AMD0003)

Contracting Officer.

3.6.1.1.1 Exfiltration Test

Prior to exfiltration tests, backfill the trench up to at least the lower half of the pipe. If required, place sufficient additional backfill to prevent pipe movement during testing, leaving the joints uncovered to permit inspection. When the water table is 2 feet or more above the top of the pipe at the upper end of the pipeline section to be tested, measure infiltration using a suitable weir or other device acceptable to the Contracting Officer. Perform exfiltration test by filling the line to be tested with water so that a head of at least 2 feet is provided above both the water table and the top of the pipe at the upper end of the pipeline to be tested. Allow the filled line to stand until the pipe has reached its maximum absorption, but not less than 4 hours. After absorption, reestablish the head. Measure the amount of water required to maintain this water level during a 2-hour test period. Leakage as measured by the exfiltration test must not exceed 0.2 gallons per inch in diameter per 100 feet of pipeline per hour. Correct visible leaks encountered regardless of leakage test results.

3.6.1.1.2 Low Pressure Air Pipeline Tests

Perform low pressure air testing for vitrified clay pipes in accordance with ASTM C828. Perform low pressure air testing for plastic pipe in accordance with ASTM F1417. Perform low pressure air testing procedures for other pipe materials using the pressures and testing times prescribed in ASTM C828, after consultation with the pipe manufacturer.

3.6.1.1.3 Individual Pipe Joint Testing

Testing of individual joints for leakage by low pressure air or water must conform to ASTM C1103M ASTM C1103.

3.6.1.2 Deflection Testing

Conduct deflection test no sooner than 30 days after completion of final backfill and compaction testing. Clean or flush all lines prior to testing. Perform a deflection test on entire length of installed flexible pipeline upon completion of work adjacent to and over the pipeline, including backfilling, placement of fill, grading, paving, placement of concrete, and any other superimposed loads. Deflection of pipe in the installed pipeline under external loads must not exceed the limits in paragraph PLACING PIPE AND BOX CULVERT above as percent of the average inside diameter of pipe. Use a laser profiler or mandrel to determine if allowable deflection has been exceeded.

3.6.1.2.1 Laser Profiler

Inspect pipe interior with laser profiling equipment. Utilize low barrel distortion video equipment in accordance with UFGS 33 01 30.16 TV INSPECTION OF SEWER LINES for pipe diameters 48 inches or less.

3.6.1.2.2 Mandrel

Pass the mandrel through each run of pipe by pulling it by hand. If deflection readings in excess of the allowable deflection of average inside diameter of pipe are obtained, stop and begin test from the opposite direction. The mandrel must meet the pipe manufacturer's

SECTION 33 40 00 Page 6

AMENDMENT 0003

(AMD0003)

recommendations and the following requirements. Provide a mandrel that is rigid, nonadjustable, has a minimum of 9 fins, pulling rings at each end, and is engraved with the nominal pipe size and mandrel outside diameter.

The mandrel must be 5 percent less that the ceritified-actual pipe diameter for plastic pipe, 5 percent less than the certified-actual pipe diameter for corrugated steel and aluminum, 3 percent less than the certified-actual pipe diameter for ductile iron culvert pipe. The Government will verify the outside diameter (OD) of the Contractor provided mandrell through the use of Contractor provided proving rings.

3.6.1 Inspection

3.6.1.1 Post-Installation Inspection

Inspect each segment of pipe for alignment, settlement, joint separations, soil migration through the joint, cracks, buckling, bulging and deflection. An engineer must evaluate all defects to determine if any remediation or repair is required.

3.6.1.1.1 Post-Installation Inspection Report

The deflection results and final post installation inspection report must include: pipe location identification, equipment used for inspection, inspector name, deviation from design, grade, deviation from line, deflection and deformation of flexible pipe, inspector notes, condition of joints, condition of pipe wall (e.g. distress, cracking, wall damage dents, bulges, creases, tears, holes, etc.).

3.6.1.2 Low Impact Development Inspection

Inspect Low Impact Development (LID) features indicated on the design portion of the LID Verification Report. Certify LID features were constructed according to plans and specifications or by submitting as-built drawings in accordance with UFGS 01 78 00.00 11 CLOSEOUT SUBMITTALS. When as-built drawings show deviations to the LID features, document the deviations on the LID Verification Report.

3.6.2 Repair of Defects

3.6.2.1 Leakage Test

When leakage exceeds the maximum amount specified, correct source of excess leakage by replacing damaged pipe and gaskets and retest.

3.6.2.2 Deflection Testing

When deflection readings are in excess of the allowable deflection of average inside diamater of pipe are obtained, remove pipe which has excessive deflection and replace with new pipe. Retest 30 days after completing backfill, leakage testing and compaction testing.

3.6.2.1 Inspection

Replace pipe or repair defects indicated in the Post-Installation Inspection Report.

3.7 PROTECTION

Protect storm drainage piping and adjacent areas from superimposed and

SECTION 33 40 00 Page 7

AMENDMENT 0003

(AMD0003)

(AMD0003)

(AMD0003)

external loads during construction.

3.8 WARRANTY PERIOD

Pipe segments found to have defects during the warranty period must be replaced with new pipe and retested.
