.4 Should a sanitary or combined sewer be accidentally cut, any spillage and soil

contaminated by the spill shall be scraped off and removed from site.

.5 Should any sanitary or combined sewer spillage enter the pipe all pipe installation

must stop. Once the leak is contained and the pipe pumped out, the Contractor

shall clean the pipe as directed by the Contract Administrator. This may include

high pressure washing and scrubbing with a beach solution. Once the pipe has

been cleaned to the satisfaction of the Contract Administrator, pipe laying may

resume.

3.4 Installation of Ductile Iron Pipe

.1 The installation of ductile iron pipes and fittings, and all other related work, shall

be in conformance with AWWA C600 except as stated otherwise in this

Specification or on the Drawings.

3.5 Pipe Bedding

width of the trench floor and it shall be compacted against the undisturbed sides of

the trench excavation.


Section 02507




.6 The Contractor shall carry out compaction density tests in conformance with its

Quality Control Program. The number of tests shall be sufficient to give

reasonable assurance that the specified compaction densities of the pipe bedding

are being achieved throughout the depth of the backfill material and over the

entire length of the project.

.7 In addition to the tests required to be performed by the Contractor, the Owner

may, at its own initial expense, carry out Quality Assurance density tests in any

layer of any section of compacted backfill material. The Owner will engage the

services of a recognized materials testing firm to carry out any such compaction

density tests.

.8 The cost of any initial Quality Assurance test, contemplated above, will be borne

by the Owner. However, in the event that the compaction does not meet the

specified density, the cost of additional testing in the same vicinity, required to

ensure that the specified densities have been achieved, shall be borne by the

Contractor.

3.6 Trench Widths

.1 Trench widths at the top of pipe level shown on the drawings and given in the

guidelines in AWWA C600 shall be the widths measured to the insides of trench

shoring cages.

.2 Trenches shall be excavated to a suitable width to allow the placement of trench

supports and provide sufficient working space for pipe laying, pipe jointing, and

bedding installation between the side of the pipe and the face of any trench

support system.

3.7 Pipe Laying and Jointing

.1 Bell holes shall be excavated in the pipe bedding at the pipe joint locations to

depths and widths sufficient to permit the jointing to be readily and efficiently

completed. The dimensions of the bell-hole depressions shall be large enough to

ensure that the pipe is supported by the full length of its barrel and is not resting

on the bells.

.2 Pipes shall be laid to the lines and grades shown on the drawings to within a

maximum tolerance of 50 mm for line and 25 mm for grade. When the line

and/or grade of pipe laid deviates by more than the maximum allowable amount

from the specified line and/or grade, the pipe shall be taken up and re-laid. Line

and grade tolerances shall be checked before backfilling so that any corrections

can be made without the need for re-excavation.

.3 There is a possibility that some of the bell and spigot ends of the ductile iron pipe

may not properly fit together. The Contractor shall check the dimensions of the

pipe before installation and adjust the laying sequence to account for dimensional

discrepancies. This is particularly important where full length pipes are to be cut


Section 02507




to shorter lengths. Only pipes with minimum or zero out of roundness (ovality)

shall be chosen for cutting.

.4 Gaskets shall be installed in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions. Only lubricant supplied by the manufacturer shall be used.

.5 Care shall be taken to ensure that any foreign material is removed from the bell

areas before installing the gaskets, and that the gaskets are correctly seated to give

a water-tight seal. Any gaskets moved out of position during installation shall be

removed, cleaned and re-affixed before relaying. Any damaged gaskets shall be

replaced.

.6 Joints shall be made in strict accordance with the pipe manufacturer’s instructions

and shall be closed by application of a truly axial force to the pipe. Steady firm

pressure shall be applied either by hand or by bar and block assembly to insert the

spigot end of a pipe into the bell end of the adjoining pipe. The pipe shall be

inserted to the proper depth of insertion (usually marked on the spigot end of the

pipe by the manufacturer).

.7 In order to avoid damage to the bells or over-insertion, the pipe shall not be

worked from side to side, or be forced into position with the use of heavy

equipment.

.8 Where thrust restraint devices are required at joints (e.g. Uni-Flange or Megalug

wedge action retainer glands), they shall be installed strictly in conformance with

the manufacturer’s instructions.

.9 Pipes shall be laid true to a straight line alignment and a straight line grade. A

curved alignment will only be permitted where explicitly shown on the Drawings.

Where a curved alignment is permitted, the pipe shall be laid to a uniform

curvature. The deflection at any one joint shall not exceed the maximum amount

specified.

.10 For push-on and mechanical type joints, the deflection at any one joint shall not

exceed the angles or full pipe offsets given in AWWA C600. Where the required

grade or alignment change exceeds these figures, the deflection shall be taken

over a number of consecutive joints such that the deflection at any one joint does

not exceed the maximum joint deflection allowed.

.11 No pipe shall be laid or jointed when the trench bottom is frozen or under water,

or when in the Contract Administrator’s opinion the trench condition or the

weather is unsuitable for such work.

3.8 Polyethylene Encasement

.1 The entire length of the new water main, including all fittings and valves shall be

encased in linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) film in accordance with

AWWA C105. The Contractor shall ensure that the tube or sheet sizes chosen

will properly fit over the bells of the new ductile iron main including any special

bells (i.e., those for Thrust-Lock restrained type joints), over wedge action retainer

glands on mechanical joints, and over restrained flange adaptors.


Section 02507




.2 At all locations where the new water main is less than 450 mm clear distance

above a sanitary or storm sewer, or where the horizontal separation between the

water main and a sanitary or storm sewer is less than 3.0 m, polyethylene

encasement shall be done according to Method A of AWWA C105.

.3 Where it is impractical to polyethylene encase some components of the water

main, the Contractor may request the Contract Administrator to allow exposed

bolts, rods, lugs and other fastening devices to be petrolatum packed and tape

wrapped (Denso-pasted).

.4 Other specifications for polyethylene encasement may be provided in an

addendum.

3.9 Corrosion Protection

valves are necessary to fill and drain the pipe. Filling shall be done from the low

point of the line at a flow velocity not exceeding 0.3 m/s. 50 mm (2-inch) gate or

automatic air relief valves shall be installed at test heads and high points to ensure

that no air is trapped prior to commencement of hydrostatic testing. During the

course of filling, the air valves shall be checked to see that air is escaping

properly.

.7 The pipe shall be hydrostatically tested in accordance with the method given in

AWWA C600. The hydrostatic testing pressure shall be no less than 2413 kPa

(350 psi).

.8 If during testing, the quantity of makeup water required to maintain the pressure

within 34.5 kPa (5 psi) of the specified test pressure exceeds the maximum

allowed, the pipe installation being tested will be rejected.

.9 The costs of all testing, re-testing and all subsequent activities required to bring

the pipeline to compliance with the testing standard shall be borne by the

Contractor.
