About this file

This is a Standard Details technical specification document for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland, specifically outlining water infrastructure installation standards and design specifications. The document, designated Section IV - Water Details, provides comprehensive detail drawings and specifications for water main construction, valve installations, meter vaults, fire hydrant settings, and service connections. The specifications cover a range of pipe sizes from 1-inch through 36-inch diameter mains and include detailed installation requirements for various components such as air valves, pressure reducing valves, flow meters, blowoffs, and connection types. The document serves as a standard reference guide for contractors and engineers involved in water infrastructure projects within the WSSC service area, which encompasses Prince George's and Montgomery Counties, Maryland. This technical specification document does not include response dates, award dates, contract terms, or pricing information, as it functions as a design and construction standards manual rather than a solicitation or contract document.

The Standard Details document establishes uniform construction and installation practices for WSSC water infrastructure projects to ensure consistency and quality across the commission's service territory. The detailed specifications cover both standard construction methods and variations based on pipe diameter, installation depth, vault types, and service configurations, including provisions for meter installations in various building configurations and outdoor settings. The document includes load charts for ductile iron pipe and polyvinyl chloride pipe, continuity test station details, and connection specifications for both new installations and connections to existing water mains. These standards ensure that all contractors performing work within the WSSC jurisdiction comply with uniform specifications and that infrastructure meets established performance and safety requirements.
