The pipes under test shall show no signs of localized swelling, seepage cracking,

leakage or weeping and shall not burst during the prescribed test period.

During execution if required the sampling of pipes shall be made from the

procured, tested and delivered lot of pipes at site randomly. The same shall

be tested for the tests mentioned in Para no. 2.4.2 above. The Contractor shall

have to borne all the cost of testing in such a case over and above the cost of

regular testing.

The type test shall be carried out as per IS:12235 - 2004 and its latest revision/

amendments. The type tests are intended to prove the suitability and

performance of a new composition, a new technique or a new size of a pipe.

Such tests, therefore, need be applied only when a change is made in Polymer

composition or method of manufacture, or when a new size of pipe is to be

introduced. Engineer- In-Charge or his representative/PMC/TPI may call for the

fresh samples for the type tests if required.

2.6 Laying of Pipes.

Excavation of pipe trench shall be carried out in accordance with

designed longitudinal section of sub minor.

2.6.1 Underground Installation of UPVC Pipe:

Generally, the width of the trench should be minimum dimension

compatible with safe working and the satisfactory laying, jointing and

bedding of pipe as per drawing or as directed by Engineer-In-Charge. The

depth of the trench will be @ 1.0m from ground level plus diameter of pipe or

as mentioned in the drawing or as directed by Engineer-In-Charge.

As excavation proceeds, all unstable trench walls need to be supported as per

requirement is mandatory for trenches of 1.00 m or deeper. The cost for this

is incorporated in the relevant item of excavation of pipe line and no extra

payment shall be made / entertained for this activity. Bed of the trench shall

be well dressed and shall be free from clods. If any stones or other objectionable

solid material met with during excavation of trench at bottom, it should be

removed and if required the bed should be leveled with selected soil

available from the excavation of the trench.

Preparation for pipe laying.

Pipes shall be joined to form a single long length above ground prior to staking

into the trench as per site situation or as directed by Engineer - In - Charge. To

prevent scratches on surface of pipe / damage to pipe of the road surface,

pipe rollers should be used.

Before commencing of pipe laying into the trench a check should be made for

deep cuts, scratches or other damages in the pipe and the fusion joint system

is sufficiently cooled.

The pipes shall be laid in proper line and level as per drawing or as directed

by Engineer - In - Charge. Gradual changes in direction of polyethylene can be

accommodated by pipe deflection but every effort should be made to keep the

pipe as central as possible within the trench to enable correct side fill

compaction. Similar care should be taken when any distortion of the coiled

pipe has occurred.

2.7 Jointing of pipes: (1) Preparing Joints.

The pipes shall be jointed by flush joint as instructed by the Engineer-In-Charge.

Caulking space shall be as per relevant IS code according to the diameter of the

pipes. The next pipe shall then to be pressed against the first so that the recess

the end of first pipe and that of the second properly fills with Synthetic ring and

both pipe shall have pressed against each other properly. The joints shall be

smooth finished. The Contractor shall have to make sufficient room for making

the joints leak proof at the bottom of joint by excavating the earth as per

requirement. But due care shall be required during the backfilling in that

portion. No extra payment shall be made for making sufficient room for the

jointing of pipes at bottom of joint.

2.8 Connections through walls of wells:

Pipe may have to go through Concrete walls of wells. In such a case, the pipe

should have a puddle flange welded around the pipe to ensure a leak proof

joint between the pipe and the masonary well wall. The cost of connection is

included in this item.

2.9 TESTING OF PIPE LINE

2.9.1 Inspection and test after erection

In addition to the progressive supervision and inspection by the Engineer in

charge or his representative/PMC/TPI, the Contractor shall offer for inspection

to Engineer-in-Charge or his representative/PMC/TPI, the complete erected or

its parts on which tests are to be carried out.

After such inspection by Engineer-in-charge or his representative/PMC/TPI,

t he Contractor shall have to carry out the testing for leakage/seepage from

pipe line /structures in the presence of Engineer-In-Charge or his

representative/PMC/TPI. All the structures shall be observed, checked and

tested for leakage and constructional defects.

(1) The length of pipeline to be tested shall be the length between well to

well or as directed by Engineer - In - Charge. Generally for sub-minor

the testing shall be carried out for full length at a time, if length of sub-

minor is less than 1.0 km and for more length of sub-minor the testing

shall be carried out in two stages as directed / decided by Engineer - In -

Charge. The Contractor shall have to make all the arrangement of water for

testing, labours, supervisory staff, etc. for the period of testing. The

necessary arrangement for plugging of opening in the wells (end well of

reach under testing) shall be made by the Contractor at his cost. After

testing Contractor shall have to remove the plugging at his cost, but care

should be taken that no damage will occur to the work executed. If any

damage will occur to any parts of work executed the same shall be

required to be repaired by the Contractor at his cost to the satisfaction of

Engineer - In - Charge.

(2) Backfilling of pipeline trenches can be done before the testing of pipe

(a) Initial Filling: The water shall be filled in the portion under testing

up to predetermined level and shall be continuously maintained at

predetermined level at predetermined locations(wells) for 48 hours.

The purpose of initial filling shall be to provide sufficient time/water

for absorption in the masonary structures (wells).

(b) Observation/Checking/Testing for Leakage:

The level of water surface shall be measured after 48 hours of initial

filling and thereafter at an interval of 24 hours for at-least 5(Five) days.

During the testing the joints of pipe line shall be observed and checked,

if any leakage found, the pipe shall be emptied out by the Contractor at

his cost and shall be rectified at his cost. The testing procedure shall be

repeated, till the rectification of the damages/defects/leakages is of the

acceptable engineering standard.

During the testing after initial filling the level of water surface in the

wells under consideration shall be measured. The difference in the

levels of the water surface after duration of 24 hours shall not be

more than 50 mm for a length up-to 1.0 Km. For more/less length the

tolerance limit of difference shall be arrived proportionately.

Work of UGPL sub-minors shall be inspected by PMC/Third Party

and payments shall be done after getting approval of PMC/Third

Party. Modalities of PMC/Third Party Inspection shall be

separately decided and given by SSNNL.

2.10 Rejection of the system or system components

If any leakage found during testing of pipe line, Contractor will have to

attend immediately and rectify at his cost within 5 (Five) days. If Contractor

fails to rectify the defect the entire length of pipe line between two adjacent

wells shall be rejected and not accepted. The payment shall not be made for

the rejected work. The difference in water level during testing shall be within

the tolerance limit as specified above, otherwise the work shall not be

accepted and paid. If any intermediate payment made to the Contractor

for portion under rejection, the same shall be recovered from the

outstanding dues of the Contractor

2.11 MONSOON DAMAGES

Damages due to rain or flood to UGPL and / or in foundation of structure

shall have to be made good by the Contractor till the work is finally

handed over to the SSNNL.

The responsibility of de-silting and making good the damages due to

rain or flood rests with the Contractor, throughout

the defect liability period of work and not only limited to earthwork. No extra

cost is payable for such operations to protect the work done during the

construction and the Contractor shall therefore have to take all necessary
