177311775 – SMARC WATER REUSE PROJECT 01 74 30 - 1

SECTION 01 74 30 - PRESSURE PIPE TESTING

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 THE SUMMARY

A. The CONTRACTOR shall test water pipelines and appurtenant piping, in accordance with the Contract Documents.

1.2 CONTRACTOR SUBMITTALS

A. Furnish submittals in accordance with Division 1.

B. Furnish:

1. A testing plan and schedule, including method for water conveyance, control, and disposal shall be submitted in writing for approval.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS

A. All test equipment, temporary valves, bulkheads, and other water control equipment shall be as determined by the CONTRACTOR. No materials shall be used which would be injurious to the WORK.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 GENERAL

A. Coordinate with the Government to locate a suitable water source for testing water pipelines. The CONTRACTOR shall provide any temporary piping necessary to convey water from the Government-designated source to the points of use.

B. All new pipelines shall be tested.

3.2 HYDROSTATIC TESTING OF PIPELINES

A. Prior to hydrostatic testing, pipelines shall be flushed or blown out as appropriate. The CONTRACTOR shall test pipelines in sections. Sections to be tested shall be defined by isolation valves in the pipeline. Where such valves are not present, the CONTRACTOR shall install temporary bulkheads or plugs for the purpose of testing. Sections that have a zero leakage allowance may be tested as a unit. No section of the pipeline shall be tested until field-placed concrete or mortar has attained an age of 14 Days. The test shall be made by closing valves when available or by placing bulkheads and filling the line slowly with water. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for ascertaining that test bulkheads are suitably restrained to resist the thrust of the test pressure without damage to or movement of the adjacent pipe. Unharnessed sleeve-type couplings, expansion joints, or other sliding joints shall be restrained or suitably anchored prior to the test to avoid movement and damage to piping and equipment. Remove or protect any pipeline-mounted devices that may be damaged by the test pressure. The CONTRACTOR shall provide sufficient temporary tappings in the pipelines to allow for trapped air to exit. After completion of the tests, such taps shall be permanently plugged. Care shall be taken that air relief valves are open during filling.

177311775 – SMARC WATER REUSE PROJECT 01 74 30 - 2

B. The pipeline shall be filled at a rate which will not cause any surges or exceed the rate at which the air can be released through the release valves at a reasonable velocity. The air within the pipeline shall be allowed to escape completely. The differential pressure across the orifices in the air release valves shall not be allowed to exceed 5 psi at any time during filling. After the pipeline or section thereof has been filled, it shall be allowed to stand under a slight pressure for at least 24 hours to allow the concrete or mortar lining, as applicable, to absorb water and to allow the escape of air from air pockets. During this period, bulkheads, valves, and connections shall be examined for leaks. If leaks are found, corrective measures satisfactory to the COTR shall be taken.

C. The hydrostatic test shall consist of holding the indicated test pressure on the pipeline segment for a period of 4 hours. The test pressure for buried piping shall be 50 psi, measured at the lowest point of the pipeline section being tested. Visible leaks that appear during testing shall be repaired in a manner acceptable to the COTR. Add water to restore the test pressure if the pressure decreases 5 psi below test pressure during the test period.

D. The maximum leakage for buried piping shall be be 0.02 U.S. gallons per hour per inch of diameter per 100 feet of pipe. Exposed piping shall show no visible leaks and no pressure loss during the test. In the case of pipelines that fail to pass the leakage test, the CONTRACTOR shall determine the cause of the leakage, shall take corrective measures necessary to repair the leaks, and shall again test the pipeline, repeating as necessary until the pipeline passes.

1.4 Operation and Performance Verification

A. Both Government supplied and Contractor supplied equipment will be subjected to a demonstration, running test, and performance tests after the installation has been verified and any identified deficiencies have been remedied.

B. The Contractor shall inform the Government at least fourteen (14) days in advance of conducting the tests and, where required, arrange for the attendance of the Manufacturer's Representative. The tests may be concurrent with the inspection of satisfactory installation if mutually agreed by the Contractor and the Government.

C. The Manufacturer's Representative will conduct all necessary checks to the equipment and, if necessary, advise the Contractor of any further checking, flushing, cleaning, or other work needed prior to confirming the equipment is ready to run.
