Unless specified otherwise, CCTV inspection of newly installed storm pipe will be limited to pipelines with inside dimensions of at least 18-inches.

If the Contractor does not have the qualified personnel and equipment to perform the CCTV inspection, a CCTV sub-contractor shall be hired at the Contractor’s sole expense and of the Contractors choosing. Although not a requirement for compliance with the specification for this SBI, it is recommended that the CCTV inspection be performed by personnel who are trained and certified in the use of NASSCO’s Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (PACP).

3. EXECUTION

3.1 Storm sewer pipes, including catch basin leads and catch basin structures, shall be cleaned and flushed prior to video inspection.

3.2 After cleaning, the manhole sections shall be visually inspected by means of closed-circuit television.

The inspection will be done one manhole section at a time and the flow in the section being inspected will be suitably controlled. For the purposes of complying with the specification for this SBI, flow depth within the pipeline during the CCTV inspection should not exceed 25% of the inside pipe diameter.

3.3 All CCTV inspections shall be performed in accordance with PACP program standards including the specific date and time of inspection.

3.4 The Contractor shall notify the Owner at least two (2) working days in advance of the anticipated date of televising so that a designated representative of the Owner may observe the inspection operations.

The Contractor shall video inspect all proposed storm pipes with the Owner, Owner's representative, and/or Engineer of Record present, or with the Owner's permission to proceed in the absence of the Owner's designated representative.

3.5 The television camera used for the inspection shall be one specifically designed and constructed for such inspection. Lighting for the camera shall be suitable to allow a clear picture of the entire periphery of the pipe. The camera shall be operative in 100% humidity conditions. The camera, television monitor, and other components of the video system shall be capable of producing picture quality to the satisfaction of the Owner and/or Engineer of Record; and if unsatisfactory, equipment shall be removed and no payment will be made for an unsatisfactory inspection.

3.6 The camera shall be moved through the pipeline in either direction at a moderate rate, stopping when necessary to permit proper documentation of the pipeline condition. In no case will the television camera be pulled at a speed greater than 30 feet per minute. Manual winches, power winches, TV cable, and powered rewinds or other devices that do not obstruct the camera view or interfere with proper documentation of the internal conditions shall be used to move the camera through the pipeline.

If, during the inspection operation, the television camera will not pass through the entire manhole

Phase II – Kings Lake, Terra Alta and Cinnamon Bay 01400-2 section, the Contractor shall set up his equipment so that the inspection can be performed from the opposite manhole. If, again, the camera fails to pass through the entire manhole section, the inspection shall be considered complete, noted as "Survey Abandoned" and no additional inspection will be required.

The camera operator shall slow or stop the camera at potential or actual imperfections in the pipeline to obtain a high quality video image. Each location where a potential obstruction or structural deficiency exists shall be identified with accurate distance measurements above ground from the manhole or access hole.

Structural cracking, excessively deflected joints, protruding joint sealing material, corrosion, evidence of reverse slope by ponding of water or dips in pipe alignment and any other defect revealed by the CCTV inspection shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Owner and/or Engineer of Record at the Contractor’s sole expense.

3.7 When manually operated winches are used to pull the television camera through the line, telephones or other suitable means of communication shall be set up between the two manholes of the section being inspected to insure good communications between members of the crew.

3.8 The importance of accurate distance measurements is emphasized. Measurement for location of defects shall be above ground by means of a meter device. Marking on the cable, or the like, which would require interpolation for depth of manhole, will not be allowed. Accuracy of the distance meter shall be checked by use of a walking meter, roll-a-tape, or other suitable device, and the accuracy shall be satisfactory to the Owner and/or Engineer of Record.

4. SUBMITTALS

2. Cleanliness: The interior of the pipes shall be thoroughly cleaned of all foreign matter before being gently lowered into the trench and shall be kept clean during laying operations by means of plugs or other methods approved by the Engineer. During suspension of work for any reason at any time, a suitable stopper shall be placed in the end of the pipe last laid to prevent mud or other foreign material from entering the pipe.

3.02 INSTALLATION

A. Pipe

1. Gradient: Lines shall be laid straight, and depth of cover shall vary to provide uniform gradient or slope to pipe, whether grading is completed or proposed at time of pipe installation. When a grade or slope is shown on the Drawings, batter boards with string line paralleling design grade, or other previously approved means, shall be used by the Contractor to assure conformance to required grade.

2. Pipe Joint Deflection: Whenever it is desirable to deflect pipe, the amount of deflection shall not exceed 75 percent of the maximum limits as shown in AWWA Standard C600 for ductile iron pipe and 75 percent of the maximum limits recommended by the manufacturer and as for PVC pipe.

3. Rejects: Any pipe found defective shall be immediately removed and replaced with sound pipe at the

Contractor's expense.

4. Joint Compounds: No sulphur base joint compound shall be used.

5. Anchors: Concrete thrust blocks shall not be allowed. Concrete thrust collars shall conform to the details shown on the Drawings and shall be of Class C concrete. Restrained joints shall be as specified in Section

15062 - Ductile Iron Pipe and Fittings and as specified in Section 15064 - Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Pipe and Fittings.

Install valves with stem position horizontal and vertical. Any valve that does not operate correctly shall be removed and replaced. For all buried valves in which the operating nut is deeper than four feet (1.22m) from the finish ground surface, an extension rod with 2-inch operating nut and upper guide shall be installed permanently in riser section. Extend nut to one foot below finish grade. All buried in-line valves shall be mechanically restrained on each side of the valve for two (2) full pipe joints.

2. Valve Boxes: Valve boxes shall be carefully centered over the operating nuts of the valves so as to permit a valve key to be fitted easily to the operating nut. In unpaved areas, valve boxes shall be set to conform to the level of the finished surface and held in position by a concrete collar placed under the support flange as shown on the Drawings. The valve box shall not transmit surface loads to the pipe or valve. Extensions or risers for valve boxes shall be an integral part of the box. No cut sections of D.I. or PVC pipe shall be used in extending the box to its proper height. Care shall be taken to prevent earth and other material from entering the valve box. Any valve box which is out of alignment or whose top does not conform to the finished ground

Phase 2 – Kings Lake, Terra Alta and Cinnamon Bay 02660-6 surface shall be dug out and reset. Before final acceptance of the work all valve boxes shall be adjusted to finish grade.
