PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 PREPARATION
3.1.1 Connections to Existing System
Perform all connections to the existing water system in the presence of the Contracting Officer.
3.1.2 Operation of Existing Valves
Do not operate valves within or directly connected to the existing water system unless expressly directed to do so by the Contracting Officer.
3.1.3 Earthwork
Perform earthwork operations in accordance with Section 31 00 00 EARTHWORK.
3.2 INSTALLATION
Install all materials in accordance with the applicable reference standard, manufacturers instructions and as indicated herein.
3.2.1 Piping
3.2.1.1 General Requirements
Install pipe, fittings, joints and couplings in accordance with the applicable referenced standard, the manufacturer's instructions and as specified herein.
3.2.1.1.1 Termination of Water Lines
Terminate the work covered by this Section at a point approximately 5 feet from the building, unless otherwise indicated.
Do not lay water lines in the same trench with gas lines, fuel lines, electric wiring, or any other utility. Do not install copper tubing in the same trench with ferrous piping materials. Where non-ferrous metallic pipe (i.e., copper tubing) crosses any ferrous piping, provide a minimum vertical separation of 12 inches between pipes.
3.2.1.1.2 Pipe Laying and Jointing
Remove fins and burrs from pipe and fittings. Before placing in position, clean pipe, fittings, valves, and accessories, and maintain in a clean condition. Provide proper facilities for lowering sections of pipe into trenches. Under no circumstances is it permissible to drop or dump pipe, fittings, valves, or other water line material into trenches. Cut pipe cleanly, squarely, and accurately to the length established at the Site and work into place without springing or forcing. Replace a pipe or fitting that does not allow sufficient space for installation of jointing material. Blocking or wedging between bells and spigots is not permitted. Lay bell-and-spigot pipe with the bell end pointing in the direction of laying. Grade the pipeline in straight lines; avoid the formation of dips and low points. Support pipe at the design elevation and grade. Secure firm, uniform support. Wood support blocking is not permitted. Lay pipe so that the full length of each section of pipe and each fitting rests solidly on the pipe bedding; excavate recesses to
SECTION 33 11 00 Page 10 accommodate bells, joints, and couplings. Provide anchors and supports for fastening work into place. Make provision for expansion and contraction of pipelines. Keep trenches free of water until joints have been assembled. At the end of each work day, close open ends of pipe temporarily with wood blocks or bulkheads. Do not lay pipe when conditions of trench or weather prevent installation. Provide a minimum of 2-1/2 feet depth of cover over top of pipe.
3.2.1.1.3 Tracer Wire
Install a continuous length of tracer wire for the full length of each run of non-metallic pipe. Attach wire to top of pipe in such manner that it will not be displaced during construction operations.
3.2.1.1.4 Connections to Existing Water Lines
Make connections to existing water lines after coordination with the facility and with a minimum interruption of service on the existing line.
Make connections to existing lines under pressure in accordance with the recommended procedures of the manufacturer of the pipe being tapped and as indicated , except as otherwise specified, tap concrete pipe in accordance with AWWA M9 for tapping concrete pressure pipe .
3.2.1.1.5 Sewer Manholes
No water piping is to pass through or come in contact with any part of a sewer manhole.
3.2.1.1.6 Water Piping Parallel With Sewer Piping
a. Normal Conditions: Lay water piping at least 10 feet horizontally from sewer or sewer manhole whenever possible. Measure the distance from outside edge to outside edge of pipe or outside edge of manhole.
When local conditions prevent horizontal separation install water piping in a separate trench with the bottom of the water piping at least 18 inches above the top of the sewer piping.
b. Unusual Conditions: When local conditions prevent vertical separation, construct sewer piping of AWWA compliant ductile iron water piping and perform hydrostatic sewer test, without leakage, prior to backfilling. When local conditions prevent vertical separation, test the sewer manhole in place to ensure watertight construction.
3.2.1.1.7 Water Piping Crossing Sewer Piping
Provide at least 18 inches above the top (crown) of the sewer piping and the bottom (invert) of the water piping whenever possible. Measure the distance edge-to-edge. Where water lines cross under gravity sewer lines, construct sewer line of AWWA compliant ductile iron water piping with rubber-gasketed joints and no joint located within 10 feet, horizontally, of the crossing. Lay water lines which cross sewer force mains and inverted siphons at least 2 feet above these sewer lines; when joints in the sewer line are closer than 3 feet horizontally from the water line relay the sewer line to ensure no joint closer than 3 feet.
a. Normal Conditions: Provide a separation of at least 18 inches between the bottom of the water piping and the top of the sewer piping in cases where water piping crosses above sewer piping.
