Pipe Installation <br /> <br /> A. General <br /> <br />1. Proper implements, tools, and facilities shall be provided and used for the safe <br />and convenient performance of the work. Pipe, fittings, and appurtenances <br />shall be lowered carefully into the trench by means of a derrick, rope, or other <br />suitable tools or equipment, in such a manner as to not damage materials and <br />protective coatings and linings. Under no circumstances shall pipe materials <br />be dropped or dumped into the trench. The trench should be dewatered prior <br />to installation of the pipe. <br /> <br />2. Pipe and fittings shall be strung out along the route of construction where it <br />will cause least interference with traffic. Commence at the lowest point in the <br />system. Laying of pipe shall be commenced immediately after the excavation <br />is started and every measure must be used to keep pipe laying closely behind <br />trenching. No more than 10 feet of trench shall remain open at the end of each <br />working day. Required connections to existing lines shall be made in <br />accordance with local standards and requirements. Observe extreme care to <br />keep debris from entering lines. Check carefully the invert elevations of <br />existing lines to which connections are to be made and inform the Engineer <br />immediately if there is a discrepancy with the plans. Each pipe shall be <br />inspected for defects prior to being lowered into the trench and swabbed or <br />brushed out so that no dirt or foreign material gets into the finished line. <br /> <br />3. Holes shall be scooped out where the bells occur such that the entire barrel of <br />the pipe is bedded firmly and uniformly. Lay the pipe in straight lines and on <br />uniform grades between points where changes in alignment or grade are <br />shown. Fit the pipe to form close concentric joints. Immediately after each <br />joint is made, drag a close fitting swab past the joint within the pipe. The pipe <br />shall be kept closed by means of a test plug whenever work is not in progress. <br /> <br /> B. Examination of Materials <br /> <br /> All pipe fittings, valves, and other appurtenances shall be examined carefully for <br />damage and other defects immediately before installation. Defective materials shall <br />be marked and held for inspection by the COUNTY, who may prescribe corrective <br />repairs or reject the materials. <br /> <br /> C.
