TP-604 TRENCH EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL:

Trenching and backfilling operations shall be performed as specified in Section 01 of the Technical

Provisions.

TP-605 INSTALLATION OF GRAVITY SEWER LINES:

The bottom of the trench shall be shaped to give uniform support to the pipe. Pipe laying shall proceed upgrade, with the spigot end pointing in the direction of the flow. Each pipe shall be laid true to line and grade as shown on the drawings, and in such a manner as to form a close concentric joint with the adjoining pipe. As the work progresses, the interior of the sewer shall be cleared of all dirt and extraneous materials of every description. If the maximum width of the trench at the top of the pipe specified in Section 01 of these Technical Provisions is exceeded for any reason other than at the direction of the Owner or Owner’s representative, the Contractor shall install such concrete cradling, encasement, gravel base or other bedding as may be required to satisfactorily support the added load of the backfill. Trenches shall be kept free from water and the pipe shall not be laid when conditions of the trench or weather are unsuitable for such work. At all times when work is not in progress, all open ends of pipe and fittings shall be securely closed so that no trench water, earth or other substances will enter the pipe.

TP-606 WATER AND SEWER LINE SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS:

A. General: Water lines located near sewers present conditions for serious potential cross contaminations. Protection from cross contamination can be provided by separation of the facilities and use of special piping materials. For measuring separation between pipes, all measurements shall be the clearance between pipes

(pipe O.D. to pipe O.D.).

For the purposes of this section, the term “lines” shall include mains, laterals, and service lines for both water and sewer.

B. Horizontal Separation of Water and Sewer Lines: When water and sewer lines are laid parallel to each other, the horizontal distance between the water and sewer lines shall be at least 10 feet. Each line shall be laid in a separate trench.

When physical conditions, such as an existing obstruction, will not allow the required

10-foot horizontal separation, the water and sewer lines may be laid closer than 10 feet if the bottom of the water line is at least 18 inches above the top of the sewer line.

TECHNICAL PROVISIONS - SECTION 06 - Page 6 of 13

C. Vertical Separation of Water and Sewer Lines: When water lines cross sewer lines, the water line should be above the sewer line with no less than 18 inches vertical clearance (Measuring pipe O.D. to pipe O.D.).

Whenever possible the water line shall be above the sewer line. If the minimum 18-inch clearance cannot be obtained with the water line above the sewer, the water line must be installed under the sewer line.

Where a water line must cross under a sewer line, a vertical clearance of at least 18 inches between the bottom of the sewer line and the top of the water line shall be maintained. The water main shall be the normal water distribution pipe as specified on the construction drawings, with a 20-foot pipe section centered on the sewer crossing. No joints in sewer lines shall be permitted within 9 feet of a water line.

Where a water line must cross sewer service lines or mains, and the water line is not a minimum of 18 inches above the sewer service line or main, special protection is required. In these instances, the sewer service line or main shall be reconstructed of ductile iron pipe of the same size as the original sewer service line or main for a distance of 10 feet on either side of the water/sewer crossing point. As an alternative method of providing special protection, the contractor may place concrete a minimum of 8” greater than the outside diameter of the pipe (i.e. 4” of concrete all the way around the pipe) for a length of 20 feet (10 feet on either side of the water/sewer crossing point), if approved by the project engineer. Concrete shall meet TP-2 requirements. All existing sewer grades shall be maintained.

D. Water Main Separation from Sewer Manholes: No water pipe shall pass through, under, or come into contact with any part of a sewer manhole.

E. Separation Between Water Lines and Components of the Sewage Disposal System:

Water lines shall not be installed within 10 feet of a septic tank, within 25 feet of a drainfield, or 50 feet from an outhouse. Also, waterlines shall not be installed within

100 feet of the perimeter fence of an individual lagoon, or within 500 feet of the perimeter fence of a community lagoon.

TP-607 CONCRETE ENCASEMENT OF SEWER MAIN:

Sewer line sections indicated on the plans as requiring concrete encasement shall be constructed in accordance with the detail drawings. Transition from PVC to DI sewer pipe shall be accomplished with approved a transition boot. DI piping shall extend a minimum of 6-1/2 feet beyond the limits of indicated concrete encasement unless otherwise directed in the plans and detail drawings. Concrete requirements shall be as indicated in Section 02 of these Technical Provisions.

TP-608 INSTALLATION OF MANHOLES:

Manhole invert channels shall be smooth and semi-circular in shape, conforming to the inside of the

TECHNICAL PROVISIONS - SECTION 06 - Page 7 of 13 adjacent sewer pipe section. The invert shall be finished smoothly with a semi-circular cross section.

Flat-bottomed inverts shall not be acceptable. Inverts with humps or low spots or roughness of finish which will catch solid materials will not be acceptable. Inverts shall not be brush finished. A minimum invert elevation drop of one-tenth of a foot from the entrance to the outlet shall be provided in all manholes where there is a change in direction, or change in grade. Changes in direction of flow shall be made with a smooth curve of as large a radius as the size of the manhole will permit. S-curves will not be acceptable. Changes in sizes and grade of the channels shall be made gradually and evenly. The manhole shall be positioned such that the pipes intersect in the center of the manhole circle. The invert channels will be formed directly in the concrete. For those manholes where the sewer pipe does not change grade or slope, the invert may be constructed by laying a full section of sewer pipe through the manhole and cutting out the top half after the surrounding concrete has hardened.

The floor of the manhole outside the channels shall be smooth and shall slope toward the channel at a 15 percent grade. , installed as shown on the drawings. Any deviation of alignment of more than 3 inches for any step shall be cause for it to be reinstalled at the Contractor's expense.

The tops of all manholes shall have a concrete collar of the dimensions shown on the detail.

Manholes shall be installed at the locations and elevations shown on the site plans or as directed by the Owner or Owner’s representative in the field. Joints between precast manhole sections shall be sealed with "Ram Nek" bituminous rope type sealer, Reduced Friction Seal pre-lubricated gasket or equal. The sections shall then be grouted to a smooth finish on the interior and exterior of the manhole. Grout for jointing shall be as specified in Section 02 of the Technical Provisions.

Manhole sections, and adjustment rings if required, shall be grouted in place when the manhole is constructed. The grout shall be spread evenly over the entire mating surface. The maximum number of adjustment rings shall be as indicated on the plans. The jointing and sealing materials shall be approved by the Owner or Owner’s representative prior to installation.

Any drop manholes shall be constructed at the locations shown on the plans in accordance with the details shown on the construction drawings. Bases, walls and cones shall conform to the drawings.

The manhole covers shall be set to the elevations shown on the drawings.

All connections between sewer pipe and manhole walls shall be sealed with non-shrinking grout in such a manner to make the manholes water tight.

Manholes shall not be acceptable if any evidence of infiltration into them is found. The Contractor shall take whatever actions are necessary, at his expense, to ensure that the manholes are completely watertight.

Precast manholes shall not be altered or modified in anyway. Precast manhole bases, barrel sections, etc. shall be installed in their precast condition. Chipping or altering the concrete shall not be allowed.

TECHNICAL PROVISIONS - SECTION 06 - Page 8 of 13

TP-609 CONNECTION TO EXISTING MANHOLES:

Reconstruction of manhole bases and inverts, all necessary piping, and associated work required to complete the connection shall comply with the provisions of Section TP-608.

All pipe entrances into the existing manhole shall be core bored, and a waterstop and watertight sealer shall be installed on each pipe penetrating into the manhole. All voids shall be repaired with non-shrink grout. Grouted areas shall be painted with bituminous coating on exterior. The invert shall be constructed as specified in TP-608 Installation of Manholes. Chipping and altering existing concrete inverts to connect the new sewer main pipe into the manhole is allowed.

TP-610 TESTING:

A. Sewer Main Alignment: After the gravity sewer lines have been completely backfilled and the contractor has verified the line as ready for testing, the Owner or his/her representative will check the alignment by shining a light between manholes.

Any deviation from true line or grade may be cause for rejection of the line. Any deviation from true line or grade which prevents water from draining by gravity from the sewer system, including manholes, shall be corrected such that the facilities meet these specifications and drawings. For horizontal alignment only, a deviation allowance of one-quarter of the inside diameter of the pipe may be excepted by the

Owner or Owner’s representative.

B. Sewer Main Water Tightness:

Testing for water tightness in gravity sewer mains may be accomplished by either of the following two methods:

1. Exfiltration/Infiltration: Tests for water tightness in the gravity sewer mains shall be made by the Contractor in a manner approved by and in the presence of the Owner or Owner’s representative. The sewer and manhole connections shall not leak under either external or internal water pressure in excess of 10 gallons per day per inch diameter per 1000 feet of sewer. The test shall be run for a minimum of a four hour period.

Infiltration testing shall be completed under existing ground water conditions.

Exfiltration testing shall be conducted under an internal pipeline test pressure generated by a manhole water level at least 1 foot above the highest elevation of the sewer main to be tested. Leakage by either infiltration or exfiltration greater than specified above shall be corrected by the Contractor at his expense. All equipment and water for these tests shall be furnished by the

Contractor. This test will be made after the line has been completely backfilled.

TECHNICAL PROVISIONS - SECTION 06 - Page 9 of 13

2. Low Pressure Air Test:

Test Requirements & Setup:

a. Test each newly installed section of gravity sewer line between manholes.

b. Slowly introduce air pressure to approximately 5.0 psig.

c. Allow pressure to stabilize for at least five (5) minutes. Adjust pressure to 5.0 psig or the increased test pressure as determined below if groundwater is present. Start the test.

Test Procedure:

a. Determine the test duration for a sewer section with a single pipe size from the table below:

Low Pressure Air Test – Test Times

Sewer Main Diameter (inches) Test Time (Minutes/100 Feet of Sewer Main)

8 1.2

10 1.5

12 1.8

24 3.6

b. Record the drop in pressure during the test period. If the air pressure has dropped more than 1.0 psig during the test period, the line is presumed to have failed. If the 1.0 psig air pressure drop has not occurred during the test period, the test shall be discontinued and the line will be accepted.

c. If the line fails, determine the source of the air leakage, make corrections and retest. The Contractor has the option to test the section in incremental stages until the leaks are isolated. After the leaks are repaired, retest the entire section between manholes.

C. Flushing: The Contractor shall flush all sewer lines before pre-final inspection to remove sand, silt and other foreign material which might have entered the pipe during construction. Water used for flushing shall be domestic quality or as approved by the Owner or his/her representative. All equipment and water for the flushing shall be furnished by the Contractor. This test will be made after the line has been completely backfilled. The Contractor shall dispose of all water and foreign matter after flushing in an approved manner.

D. Deflection Test: The maximum allowable deflection (reduction in vertical inside diameter) for PVC pipe shall be five percent. However, up to seven and one half

TECHNICAL PROVISIONS - SECTION 06 - Page 10 of 13 percent may be allowed 30 days after final backfilling. Deflection testing is required in all cases between all manholes. All locations with excessive deflection shall be excavated and repaired by re-bedding or replacement of the pipe. Acceptable methods of deflection testing include use of properly sized go-no-go mandrels or deflectometer. Deflection testing is not required for ductile iron sewer mains.

D. Manhole Testing: All manholes shall be tested for watertightness. Each manhole shall be tested immediately after assembly and prior to backfilling. All lift holes shall be plugged with an approved non-shrink grout. All pipes entering the manhole shall be plugged, taking care to securely brace the plug. If the manhole fails the initial test, necessary repairs shall be made and the manhole shall be retested. One of the following methods shall be used.

1. Vacuum Testing: Vacuum testing should be conducted in accordance with

ASTM C-1244 (Vacuum Test for Concrete Manholes), except as modified below. The vacuum test head shall be placed inside the top section and the seal inflated in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations. A vacuum of 10 inches of mercury shall be drawn and the vacuum pump shut off. With the valves closed, the time shall be measured for the vacuum to drop to 9 inches. The manhole shall pass if the time is greater than 60 seconds for 48-inch diameter, 75 seconds for 60-inch, and 90 seconds for

72-inch diameter manholes.

2. Hydrostatic Testing: Hydrostatic testing shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM C-969 except as modified below. The mains into and out of the manhole shall be stoppered with a suitable device such as a tethered pneumatic plug. The manhole shall be filled with water to the ring. After a period of at least one hour to allow for concrete absorption and to allow the water level to stabilize, the manhole shall be refilled and the water level shall be checked. The hydrostatic test shall then begin and shall be administered for a period of 4 hours. If the water level is found to drop more than ¼ inch per foot of depth of the manhole over this 4 hour duration, then the leakage shall be considered excessive and the Contractor shall be required to make all necessary repairs and retest the manhole. The exterior of the manhole shall be inspected during this period for visible evidence of leakage. Visible moisture, sweating, or beads of water on the exterior of the manhole shall not be considered leakage, but any water running across the concrete surface will be considered leakage and shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Engineer regardless of the volume of water lost during the test.

TP-611 CLEANUP:

Upon completion of the work, the entire site shall be cleared of all debris, and the ground surface shall be finished to smooth and uniform slopes. All fences, clotheslines, gravel driveways or other

TECHNICAL PROVISIONS - SECTION 06 - Page 11 of 13 obstructions removed during construction shall be left in a condition at least equal to their condition prior to construction. Cleanup shall be considered an incidental item and no additional payment shall be made for it, but rather its costs shall be merged with the applicable pay item irregardless of whether cleanup is specifically included in the measurement and payment section.
