About this file

This is a Project Manual and Supplemental Provisions document prepared by Professional Engineering Consultants, PA for the City of Wichita, Kansas, detailing construction specifications for the Cheney Pump Station Recycle Line Reroute project (Project No. 247043-009). The project encompasses selective demolition, protective coatings for water and wastewater processing facilities, and installation of recycle flow piping systems. The specifications establish comprehensive requirements for surface preparation, material standards, application methods, and quality assurance protocols. Key materials include ductile iron pipe (3 to 24 inches diameter, Pressure Class 350), cement-lined fittings conforming to AWWA standards, stainless steel bolts and mechanical joints, and specialized epoxy coating systems from manufacturers such as Tnemec. The contractor must provide qualified personnel with minimum five years of experience, submit detailed submittals including manufacturer certifications and project references, and comply with all local, state, and federal regulations governing water distribution systems.

Quality control requirements mandate hydrostatic pressure testing at 150 psi or 150 percent of working pressure, with leakage testing conducted over a minimum two-hour duration using specified formulas. All piping must be tested for compliance with AWWA C600 standards, and contractor personnel must maintain continuous on-site supervision throughout execution. The contractor bears responsibility for proper storage at temperatures no lower than 45 degrees Fahrenheit, delivery of materials in original unopened containers, and protective measures during handling and installation. Upon project completion, the contractor must provide operation and maintenance manuals, record drawings showing actual pipe locations and elevations, and maintain all work under a two-year warranty against defects including discoloration, crazing, and peeling. The City of Wichita retains the right to inspect work at all phases and reject non-conforming installation at the contractor's expense for remediation.

3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL AND TESTING

A. General:

33 11 16 - 8

1. The Contractor shall provide the Owner at least 72 hours’ notice prior to scheduled testing and inspection.

2. Only properly functioning and clean equipment shall be used for flushing, pressure testing, and disinfecting water mains.

3. Test shall be conducted in accordance with AWWA Standards or as required by

KDHE. Simultaneous pressure and leakage tests may be performed if permitted by the Engineer.

B. Pressure Testing:

1. After the pipe is laid and the joints completed, the newly laid piping or any valved section of piping shall, unless otherwise specified, be filled with clean water, and subjected for one hour to a hydrostatic pressure test at the rated working pressure of the pipe.

2. Testing shall be performed on the whole length of pipe. The pressure test shall be conducted at the greater of 150 psi or at least 150% of working pressure in the line. Working pressure is defined as the maximum anticipated sustained operating pressure in the line being tested. The test pressure also shall not fall below 125% of normal operating pressure at the highest point of each section being tested.

3. Care must be taken not to exceed the pressure ratings of the pipes, valves, fittings, and other appurtenances.

4. The Contractor shall furnish all pumps, fittings, and gauges as necessary to fill the line with potable water, dispel air from the system, and pressurize the pipeline for the tests.

5. The Contractor shall provide all necessary temporary restraint and support and will be responsible for providing proper safety measures during pressure testing operations.

6. Each valve shall be opened and closed several times during the test.

7. The pressure during the pressure test shall not vary by more than 5 psi from the designated test pressure.

8. Joints showing visible leakage shall be replaced or remade, as necessary. Leaking rubber-gasketed joints shall be remade, using new gaskets if necessary. Cracked or defective pipe, mechanical joints, fittings, valves, or hydrants discovered in consequence of this pressure test shall be removed and replaced with sound material, and the test shall be repeated until the test results are satisfactory.

C. Leakage Testing:

1. The duration of each leakage test shall be at least 2 hours, and during the test the main shall be subjected to the same pressure as for the pressure test. Leakage is defined as the quantity of water to be supplied into the newly laid pipe, or any valved section thereof, necessary to maintain the specified leakage test pressure after the pipe has been filled with water and the air expelled.

33 11 16 - 9

2. No piping installation will be accepted until the leakage is less than the number of gallons per hour as determined by the formula:

𝐿 =

𝑆𝐷√𝑃

148,000

In which L equal the allowable leakage in gallons per hour; D is the nominal diameter of the pipe, in inches; S is the length of pipe tested, in feet; and P is the average test pressure during the leakage test, in pounds per square inch. The pressure during the pressure or leakage test shall not vary by more than 5 psi from the designated test pressure.
