directed by Owner/Engineer to prevent entry of mud or silt etc.
If as a result of the removal of any obstructions Owner/Engineer considers that
damages may have been caused to the pipelines, he shall be entitled to order the
stretch to be tested immediately.Should such test prove unsatisfactory, contractor
shall amend the work and carry out such further tests as are requiredby
Owner/Engineer.
It shall also be ascertained by contractor that each stretch from Machinehole to

Water for testing of pipes shall be arranged by him.Damage during testing shall
be contractor’s responsibility and shall be rectified by him to the full satisfaction
of Owner/Engineer.Water used for test shall be removed from pipes and not

After the joints have thoroughly set and have been checked by Owner/Engineer
and before backfilling the trenches, the entire section of the sewer or storm water
drain shall be proved by contractor to be water tight byfilling in pipes with water
to the level of 1.50 m above the top of the highest pipe in the stretch and heading
the water up for the period of one hour.The apparatus used for the purpose of
testing shall be approved by Owner/Engineer.Contractor if required by
Owner/Engineer shall dewater the excavated pit and keep it dryduring the period
of testing.The loss of water over a period of 30 minutes should be measured by
adding water from a measuring vessel at regular 10 minutes intervals and noting
thequantityrequiredtomaintaintheoriginalwaterlevel.Fortheapprovalofthis test the
average quantity added should not exceed 1 litre/hour/100 linear metres/10 mm
of nominal internal diameter.Any leakage including excessive sweating which
causes a drop in the test water level will be visible and the defective part of the
work should be removed and made good.
In case of pressure pipeline the completed stretch of pipeline shall be tested for
sitetestpressureasspecifiedin IS-458-2003.The sitetestpressureshouldnotbe less
than the maximum operating pressure plus the calculated surge pressure, but in
no case should it exceed the hydrostatic test pressure as specified in IS:458

D.1.18 MEASUREMENT
All RCC pipes shall be measured according to the work actually done and no
allowance will bemade foranywastein cuttingto theexact length required.The
measurement for pipes shall be in running meter nearest to a cm. of length along

The rate for providing, laying and jointing of RCC pipes shall be deemed to
include the cost of rubber rings, jointing material, testing and extra excavation
required for ordinary bedding of pipes and also for pipe sockets, if any.
If any damage is caused to the pipeline during the execution of work or while
cleaning/testing the pipeline as specified.Contractor shall be heldresponsible
for the same and shall replace the damaged pipeline and retest the same at his
own cost to the full satisfaction of Engineer.

such materials shall not be changed without prior approval of the Engineer-in-charge.
D.6.4.2.1.4 Aggregates shall consist of natural sand, stone (crushed or uncrushed) and gravel from a
source known to produce satisfactory aggregate for concrete and shall be chemically inert,
non-flaky, strong, hard, durable against weathering, or limited porosity and free from

by cement / epoxy pressure grouting, guniting or such other methods as may be approved by
the Engineer.All such rectification of the Client / Engineer at no extra cost to the Client.
D.6.23 TESTINGCONCRETESTRUCTURESFORLEAKAGE
D.6.23.1 Hydro-static test for water tightness shall be done at full storage by Engineer, as described
D.6.23.1.1 In case of structures whose external faces are exposed, such as elevated tanks, the
requirements of the test shall be deemed to be satisfied if the external faces show no sign of
leakage or sweating and remain completely dry during the period of observation of seven
days after allowing a seven day period for absorption after filling with water.
D.6.23.1.2 In the case of structures whose external faces are submerged and are not accessible for
inspection, such as underground tanks, the structures shall be filled with water and after the
expiry of seven days after the filling, the level of the surface of the water shall be recorded.
The level of water shall be recorded again at subsequent intervals of 24 hrs. over a period of
seven days.Backfilling shall be withheld till the tanks are tested.The total drop in surface
level over a period for seven day shall be taken as an indication of the water tightness of the
structure.The Engineer shall decide on the actual permissible nature of this drop in the
surface level, taking into account weather the structures are open or closed and the
corresponding effect it has on evaporation losses.Unless specified otherwise, a structure
whose top is covered shall be deemed to be water tight if the total drop in the surface level
over a period of seven days does not exceed 40 mm.
D.6.23.1.3 Each compartment / segment of the structure shall be tested individually and then alltogether.
D.6.23.2 For structures such as pipes, tunnels etc. the hydro-static test shall be carried out by filling
with water, after curing as specified, and subjecting to the specified test pressure forspecified
period.If duringthis period the loss of water does not exceed the equivalent of the specified
rate, the structure shall be considered to have successfully passed the test.
D.6.24 OPTIONALTESTS

water are not in accordance with the specifications or if specified concrete strengths are not
obtained,hemayordertests tobecarriedoutonthesematerialsinlaboratory, to be approved by the
Engineer, as per relevant IS Codes.Client shall pay only for the testing of material supplied
by the Client, otherwise Contractor shall have to pay for the tests.Transporting of all material
to the laboratory shall however be done by the Contractor at no extra cost to Client.

removaloriftheworkscubesdonotgivethestipulatedstrengths,Engineerreservestheright to order
the Contractor to take out cores and conduct tests on themor do ultrasonic testing or load
testing of structure, etc.All these tests shall be carried out by Contractor at no extracost to the
Client.Alternatively Engineer also reserves the right to ask the Contractor to dismantle and
re-do such unacceptable work at the cost of Contractor.
D.6.24.3 If the structure is certified by Engineer as having failed, the cost of the test and subsequent
dismantling / reconstruction shall be borne by Contractor.
