About this file
This is a technical standards document for water infrastructure details issued by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland, serving as a comprehensive reference guide for water main installation, testing, and meter vault specifications. The document contains a detailed table of contents outlining standardized construction details for water system components, including air valve installations, blowoff connections, pressure reducing and relief valve vaults, meter vaults of various sizes and types, fire hydrant settings, and pipe closure joint details. The standards cover pipe sizes ranging from 1-inch to 48-inch diameter, addressing both traffic and non-traffic area installations, and include specifications for meter settings, water service connections, and load charts for different pipe materials such as ductile iron and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The document provides technical guidance for contractors and engineers implementing water infrastructure projects under WSSC jurisdiction, with particular attention to proper installation techniques, safety measures, and standardized configurations that ensure system compatibility and operational efficiency.
The document focuses on technical specifications and installation requirements rather than procurement terms, pricing, or contract details. It serves as a reference standard for engineering design and construction practices, ensuring consistency across WSSC water distribution projects. The detailed notes and specifications address critical installation considerations, including meter orientation requirements, conduit bend restrictions, piping material specifications (such as copper pipes between shutoff valves), and proper valve box positioning. While this standards document does not contain information regarding contract pricing, set-asides, funding sources, or procurement timelines, it is directly relevant to the Water and Wastewater Engineering Services Basic Ordering Agreement being solicited by WSSC, as engineering consultants responding to that opportunity would need to comply with these standardized details when preparing asset rehabilitation designs and other water system engineering services.
