Laying stoneware pipes on concrete In trench where ordinary socket and spigot stoneware pipes are to be laid on concrete bed the method to be adopted is as follows. When the earth is taken out to the proper depth and gradient a concrete bed of suitable thickness and width is to be laid as directed by the Engineer. The top of this concrete bed shall also be to the required gradient. When the concrete has set sufficiently a series of special concrete invert blocks are to be laid about 60cm apart and leveled so that their top surface may be exactly the level of the sewer invert, less the thickness of the pipes. The correctness of level of the pipes is to be ascertained by working a straight edge from the invert of each pipe to block ahead. The pipe must also be checked at intervals for the proper line and level and the first pipe of any length must be very carefully bedded and leveled into position. The object to be obtained by the method above described is to ensure that the outside of the sockets shall be raised approximately 25mm above the concrete bed in order to allow the joints to be made properly in the under side. In his prices for laying concrete, the contractor must allow for doing the work in the manner as above described including cost of blocks. Junctions on stoneware pipes Where shown on the drawing or where directed by the Engineer junction pipes shall be provided at intervals during the construction of sewers, the jointing being effected in a similar manner to the pipe of the sewer in which they are placed. These junction arms shall be closed with stoneware or cement disc and the sockets filled with cement mortar. The trench shall not be filled in until the position and orientation of each junction has been measured and recorded by the Engineer. Manholes Manholes shall be constructed on the sewers I the positions shown in the drawings or in such position as the Engineer may direct. The work shall be done strictly in accordance with the detailed drawings except where alterations are required by the Engineer. The excavation shall not be large that sufficient to admit of the trench being properly timbered and to facilitate plastering outside. The bottom of the excavation shall be properly leveled up, rammed and a bed of concrete laid thereon. When the concrete has sufficiently set the construction of the brick walls shall then be proceeded with and all stoneware pipe connections through the wall shall be made and all iron work fixed in as construction proceeds. Manhole less than 2.5mm from invert to sewer to ground level shall be built rectangular and shall have a flat top constructed as shown in the drawings. Manholes more than 2.5m from surface to invert shall be built circular and the wall corbelled as shown in the drawing. The inside of all manholes shall be plastered with cement mortar 1:3 20mm thick and outside of all manholes with cement mortar 1:5 12mm thick. The manholes bottoms shall be neatly formed to the radius of the pipe and all side connection curved and

Water Test of Sewers All sewers shall be tested before the filling in of the trench or other excavations. Testing shall also be done after refilling of the trench or other excavation, if considered necessary by the Engineer. The testing or retesting shall be carried out by and at the expenses of the contractors who shall also provide the necessary appliances and water for the same. The tests will only be made from manhole to manhole after the manholes connected with the length under test have been completely finished. The test shall be carried out in the following manner. The pipes shall be carefully cleared of all earth or material that may be lying thereon or therein and all joints shall be exposed right round so that through examinations may be made while the pipes are under test. The ends of the pipe shall be closed by means of expanding stoppers and all junctions with stoneware stoppers or cement disc fixed in cement mortar. The last but one pipe at the higher end of the length shall be a junction pipe with the junction arm at the top which will permit of the filling of length with water and also allow the escape of all air in the pipes. The expanding stoppers at each end of the length under test shall have a hold in the centre with a small piece of a pipe screwed therein and threaded on the projecting piece to permit of a flexible tube not less than 2m long fixed there to by a coupling.

After the above mentioned expanding stoppers have been fixed together with flexible tubing and funnel, the length shall be then be filled with water through the junction arm of the pipe provided therefore. As soon as the water has risen of the level of the filling junction arm an expanding stopper shall be fixed thereon. After a short time has been allowed for absorption, water shall be poured into the funnel until the same is filled to the top. If any of joints are leaking or if during a period of ten minutes the water level in the funnel drops 25mm or more (no more water being added or serer interfered with in any way during the period) the test shall be considered unsatisfactory. If the water does not drop more than 25mm and there is no sign of leakage at any of the joints, the test shall be continued for one hour and at the end of the hour the pipelines including the joints shall be examined and if no indication of sweating or leakage is found then the test will be considered satisfactory. Should the test be unsatisfactory, all such joints or pipes found to be defective shall be removed, replaced or re-laid to the satisfaction of the Engineer by the contractor at his cost.

The vertical boards of minimum 25cm x 4cm sections shall be spaced sufficiently apart to leave unsupported strips of maximum 50cm average width. The detailed arrangement, sizes of the timber and the spacing shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. In all other respects, the specification for close timbering shall apply to open timbering. In case of large pits and open excavations, where shoring is required for securing safety of adjoining structures or for any other reasons and where the planking across sides of excavations / pits cannot be strutted against, suitable inclined struts supported on the excavated bed shall be provided. Load from such struts shall be suitably distributed on the bed to ensure no yielding of the strut. Inspection by Engineer: When the required levels of trench excavation are reached, the Engineer will inspect the ground exposed and if he considers that any part of the ground is by its nature unsuitable he may direct the contractor to excavate further and to refill the further excavation with such material as he may direct. Should the bottom of any trench excavation while acceptable to Engineer at the time of his inspection subsequently become unacceptable due to exposure to weather conditions or due to flooding or have become puddle soft or loose during the progress of the works the contractor shall remove such damaged, softened or loosened material and excavate further. Disposing material from trench excavation: The contractor shall make his own arrangements for the temporary storage of any excavated material which is required for use in refilling trench excavations, including any necessary double handling. Any excavated material not required for or not suitable for use as refilling shall be removed. Trenches not to be left open: Trench excavations shall be carried out expeditiously and subject to any specific requirements of the contract, the refilling and surface restoration of trench excavations shall be commenced and completed as soon as reasonably practicable after the pipes have been laid and joined. Refilling the trenches: With a view to restrict the length of open trenches, on completion of the pipe laying operations, refilling of trenches shall be started immediately by the contractor. Pipe laying and testing shall follow closely upon the progress of trench excavation and the contractor shall not permit unreasonable excessive lengths of trench excavation to remain open while awaiting testing of the pipe line.

The trench shall be filled with excavated material above the top of pipe, back filling is to be done keeping at least 90cm length of pipe at the joints, for verification of joints for water tightness during testing. Care shall be taken while back filling, not to injure or disturb the pipe. Filling shall be carried out simultaneously on both sides of the pipes so that unequal pressure does not occur. Walking or working on the completed pipelines shall not be permitted until the trench has been filled to a height of at least 30cms over the top of the pipe except as may necessary for tamping etc., during back filling work. Filling-in shall be done in layers not exceeding 150mm in thickness accompanied by adequate watering, ramming etc., so as to get good compaction. The trench shall refilled so as to build upto the original ground level, keeping due allowance for subsequent settlement likely to take place. Before and during the back filling of the trench, precautions shall be taken against floatation of the pipeline due to the entry of large quantities of water into the trench causing an uplift of the empty or the partly filled pipeling. Measurement: The laying of sewers (RCC/Stoneware) shall be measured from inside of the first manhole to the inside of the adjoining manhole. The manholes are measured from the invert of the manhole to the ground level as the depth of manhole. 10. LAYING & JOINTING OF STONEWARE PIPES:
The contractor should take levels for the laying of sewer line, trunk main, pumping station, pumping main up to Sewage Treatment Plant site before commencement of the work at his own cost. The laying, jointing & testing of stoneware pipes shall conform to BIS code. Before laying the pipes, the contractor shall carefully brush them to remove any soil, stones or other material which may be therein, even and regular bed having bee prepared and joint pit excavated to form a recess under the socket of each pipe of greater width and depth than to enable the pipe jointing to be properly done. Each pipe shall then be carefully lowered and placed singly in the trench and shall rest on the solid ground for a distance of not less than two thirds of its entire length. Each pipe shall be brought into a true line from manhole to manhole. For this purpose, a strong twine line (rat thread) sufficiently long to reach the full length between manholes shall be used. Each pipe shall be set correctly to level by means of the boning rod and sight rails. The pipe shall be laid according to the invert levels provided for the sewer line, true to line and gradient. Any variation in levels during execution or any other revision in design, if found necessary shall be carried out by tenderer without any extra cost. The spigot of each pipe shall be carefully wrapped with a ring of tarred spun yarn dipped in cement grout gasket sufficiently thick to properly fit the socket of the adjoining pipe and to allow true alignment. The pipe shall then be driven fully home into the socket of the adjacent previously laid pipe and yarn or tarred gasket carefully driven home with a caulking tool.

The remaining space in the socket shall then be tightly and completely filled with cement mortar composed of one part of Portland cement and one and a half parts sand and shall be neatly beveled off alround the circumference and finished at an angle of 45 degrees outside the socket of the pipes. A wooden caulking tool shall be used for forcing the mortar into the sockets. A tightly fitting bag of shavings or straw having a rope attached shall be drawn through the pipes as thework proceed to ensure that there is no cement or yarn or other obstruction projecting into the interior. All joints shall be kept moist either by means of wet bags, wet clay or wet earth whichever may be ordered by the engineer to protect them form the sun. such covering shall be removed when the length is tested for water tightness.
Laying of stoneware / RCC pipes on rocky strata: In trenches where the soil is rocky & slushy or at road crossings, socket and spigot stoneware pipes / RCC pipes are to be laid on sand bed & the method to adopted is as follows. When the earth is taken out to the proper depth and gradient, bedding of suitable thickness is to be laid as directed by the Engineer. The top of this bedding shall also be to the required gradient and to the required hydraulic level. In case concrete bedding is necessary in shallow trenches of rocky, slushy or road crossings M15 concrete at the bottom and alround the pipe shall be carried out, keeping the hydraulic level as per the approved drawings. Junctions on stoneware pipes: Where shown on the drawings or where directed by the engineer junction pipes shall be provided at intervals during the construction of sewers, the jointing being effected in a similar manner to the pipes of the sewer in which they are placed. These junction arms shall be closed with stoneware or cement discs and the sockets filled with cement mortar. The trench shall not be filled in until the position and orientation of each junction has been measured and recorded by the Engineer. Laying & jointing of RCC pipes: The laying & jointing of RCC pipes shall be done as per IS 783. The laying of RCC pipes between the manholes is similar to the procdure adoted for laying of stoneware pipes, perfectly true both in alignment and gradient on specified bedding. The pipe shall be laid according to the inver levels provided for the sere line. Any variation in levels during execution or any other revision in design, if found necessary shall be carried out by tenderer without any extra cost. After jointing, extraneous material, if any shall be removed from the inside of the pipe and the newly made joints shall be thoroughly cured.

Cleaning of pipes: As soon as stretch of RCC pipes has been laid complete from manhole to manhole or for a stretch as directed by owner / engineer, contractor shall run through the pipes both backwards and forwards a double disc or solid or closed cylinder 75mm less in diameter than the internal diameter of pipes. The open end of an incomplete stretch of pipe line shall be securely closed as may be directed by owner / engineer to prevent entry of mud or silt etc. If as a result of the removal of any obstructions owner / engineer consider that damages may have been caused to the pipe lines, 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 required by owner / engineer. It shall also be ascertained by contractor that each stretch from manhole to manhole or the stretch as directed by engineer is absolutely clear and without any obstruction by means of visual examination of the interior of the pipe line suitably enlightened by projected sunlight or otherwise. Cleaning out sewers and manholes: During the whole of the work the contractor shall keep interior surface of sewers and manholes free from cement mortar, bricks, soil or other superfluous matter and shall handover the sewers perfectly clean and free from deposit on completion. Rubber ring joints: The RCC pipes shall be of spigot & socket type with rubber ring joints. In the case of rubber ring joints the groove and the socket shall be thoroughly cleaned before inserting the rubber gasket. While inserting the gasket it shall be made sure that it faces the proper direction and that, it is correctly seated in the groove. After cleaning dirt or foreign material from the plain end, lubricant shall be applied in accordance with the pipe manufacturers recommendations. The contractor shall make sure that the plain end is beveled as square or sharp edged may damage or dislodge the gasket and cause a leak. When the pipe is cut at site, the plain end shall be beveled with a heavy file or grinder to remove all sharp edges. The RCC pipes with the rubber ring accurately positioned on the spigot shall be pushed well home in to the socket of the previously laid pipe by means of uniformly applied pressure with the aid of a jack or similar appliance. The plain end of the pipe shall be pushed into the socket of the pipe and while pushing the pipe shall be kept straight. If any deflections are to be made in the alignment, it may be made after the joint is assembled. A timber header shall be used between the pipe and crow bar or jack to avoid damage to the pipe while the plain end of the pipe is pushed into the socket either with a crow bar or jack, or lever pullar. Rider sewer: Rider sewer of 200mm dia SW pipes are provided on both sides of the road where the road width is more than 30m and house service connections are connected to the rider sewer. The rider sewers are connected to the main sewers at intervals wherever required as per site condition or as directed by the Engineer in charge.

TESTING OF STONEWARE & RCC PIPES:
All sewers shall be tested before the filling in of the trench or other excavations. Testing shall also be done after refilling of the trench or other excavations, if considered necessary by the engineer. The testing or re-testing shall be carried out by and at the expense of the contractors who shall also provide the necessary appliances and water for the same. The tests will only be made from manhole to manhole after the manholes connected with the length under test have been completely finished. The test shall be carried out in the following manner. The pipes shall be carefully cleared of all earth or material that may be lying thereon or therein and all joints shall be exposed right round so that through examination may be made whilst the pipes are under test. The ends of the pipe shall be closed by means of expanding stoppers and all junctions with stoneware stoppers or cement disc fixed in cement mortar. The last but one pipe at the higher end of the length shall be a junction pipe with the junction arm at the top which will permit of the filling of the length with water and also allow the escape of all air in the pipes. The expanding stoppers at each end of the length under test shall have a hold in the centre with a small piece of a pipe screwed therein and threaded on the projecting piece to permit of a flexible tube not less than 2m long fixed thereto by a coupling. At the end of the flexible tubing, the following shall be fixed. a) at lower end of length, a clock b) at top end of length, a funnel of 15cm diameter. The top of the funnel shall be fixed rigidly at a height of 30cm above the ground level, or such other height as may be decided by the engineer. After the above mentioned expanding stoppers have been fixed together with flexible tubing and funnel, the length shall then be filled with water through the junction arm of the pipe provided therefore. As soon as the water has risen to the level of the filling junction arm an expanding stopper shall be fixed thereon. After a short time has been allowed for absorption, water shall be poured into the funnel until the same is filled to the top. If any of joints are leaking & if during a period of ten minutes the water level in the funnel drops 25mm or more (no more water being added or sewer interfered with in any way during the period) the test shall be considered unsatisfactory. If the water does not drop more than 25mm and there is no sign of leakage at any of the joints, the test shall be continued for one hour and at the end of the hour the pipe lines including the joints shall be examined and if no indication of sweating or leakage is found then the test will be considered satisfactory. Should the test be unsatisfactory, all such joints or pipes found to be defective shall be removed, replaced or re-laid to the satisfaction of the engineer by the contractor at his cost. The test shall be done as many times as may be necessary until the length is found to be watertight to the satisfaction of the engineer. The water required for testing shall be clean. In case of testing of cement concrete sewer pipes of more than 600mm diameter, the permissible quantity of water replenished can be increased by 10% for each additional 100mm dia of pipe

2. laying of Cast Iron Pipes 2.1 The laying and jointing or cast iron pipes shall be carried out as follows: Before laying the pipes, the contractor shall carefully brush them to remove any soil, stones or other materials which may be therein. An even and regular bed having been prepared and joint pit excav2ted to form a recess under the socket of each pipe of no greater depth and width than to enable the pipe jointing to be property done. Each pipe shall then-be carefully lowered and placed singly in the trench and shall rest in the solid ground for a distance of not less than two thirds of its entire length. In places where the soil is not hard, cement concrete bed blocks or timber piles have to be provided under the pipes if directed by the Engineer in charge. 2.2 Pipes not Truly Laid Any pipe or pipes laid, which on inspection are found to diverge from the true lines and levels shall be removed and re laic to the true lines and levels and the old jointing properly cleared off the pipes and fresh joints made by the contractor at his expense. Any pipes damaged in removal shall be replaced by the contractor at his cost. 2.3 Cutting of C I Pipes Where necessary and as ordered by the Engineer in charge, the Contractor shall cut the pipes and fix and joint common collars for jointing spigot ends. The cut ends of the pipe shall be made truly at right angles with the axis of the pipe. 2.4 Covering up Open Ends The Contractor shall take particular care to ensure that the apertures and open ends of pipes are carefully covered whenever the workmen are not actually employed therein. 2.5 Jointing of C I Pipes The trench must be kept quite dry during jointing unless in any particular case the Engineer permits laying of the pipe in wet conditions. Plain spigot and socket pipes shall be joined as follows. 2.6Lead Joints Generally lead joints shall be used for all sizes. In the case of 100 mm pipes, cement joints may be used if specified in which case for every ten cement joints, one lead joint shall be used. Provision of lead joints shall also be made at street crossings, at closing joints and for all specials and as determined by the Engineer depending upon the site condition. The spigot of ti1e pipe must be forced well home into its socket and must be centered, so that the joint may be of even thickness all round. As many laps of white hemp spun yarn as may be needed to leave the space required for the lead shall be driven to the bottom of the socket without being forced through the joint into the pipe but carefully driven home with a caulking tool. The proper depth of each joint shall be tested before running the lead by passing completely round it a wooden gauge, notched out to the correct depth of lead, the notch being held close against the face of the socket. The joints shall then be run with molten lead insufficient quantity so that after being caulked solid, the lead may project 3 mm beyond the face of the socket against the outside of the spigot but must be flush with outside edge of the socket. For pouring lead in the joints, a ring of hemp rope covered with clay shall be wrapped around the pipe at the end of the socket leaving an opening at the top of the socket into which the lead can be poured. The hemp rope shall be supported by clay packing so as to withstand the operation of lead pouring.

b) Cement Joints The cement for the joints shall conform to IS 269/ 1989 specification for ordinary, rapid hardening and low heat portland cement. Cement and water taken in proportion 8: 1 by weight shall be thoroughly mixed. The mixture shall be such that when it is tightly compressed by hand into a ball and the ball. is broken into two pieces the break shall be clean. If the hand becomes water stained, it has to be considered that the water is excessive. If there is evidence of crumbling in the break, water added is less than required. The cement mixture shall ring with metallic sound while caulked. Cement which has been wet for more than one hour or which has undergone initial set shall not be used for jointing. Making the joints When new pipes are laid close ahead of a newly made cement joint, the disturbance caused during the forcing home of the pipe ends into the sockets during the adjustment of the pipe to proper alignment may damage the new joint. To avoid this damage, jointing shall be done only when there are atleast six pipes laid to the final grade and alignment ahead of the joint to be made. Starting at the bottom of the joint space shall be filled with wetted cement and caulked. The remaining joint space shall than be refilled with cement and caulked until the joint is practically flush with the face of the socket. The mixture shall be thoroughly compacted to make water tight joint. No water shall be allowed to touch the joint until the initial set had taken place. Immediately after initial set has taken place, the joint shall be covered with wet burlap, or other approved wet materials to ensure complete hydration of the cement. No water shall be allowed into the pipe until the elapse of 12 hours after the last joint in the line is made. Filling the pipe with water without pressure after this interval will be beneficial to curing of the joint. c) Rubber Ring Joints In the case of rubber ring joints or push on joints, the groove and the socket shall be thoroughly cleaned before inserting the rubber gasket. While inserting the gasket It shall be made sure that it faces the proper direction and that it is correctly seated in the groove. After cleaning dirt or foreign materials from the plain end, lubricant shall be applied in accordance with the pipe manufacturer's recommendations. The Contractor shall make sure that the plain end is beveled as square as sharp edges may damage or dislodge the gasket and cause a leak. When the pipe is cut at site, the plain end shall be beveled with a heavy file or grinder to remove all sharp edges. The plain end of the pipe shall be pushed into the socket of the pipe and while pushing, the pipe shall be kept straight. If any deflections are to be made in the alignment, it may be made after the joint is assembled. A timber header shall be used between the pipe and crow bar or jack to avoid damage to the pipe while the plain end of the pipe is pushed into the socket either with a crow bar or jack, or lever puller.

The length of pipes to be tested shall first be filled in with water from a higher section of pipes already laid or with clean water shall be arranged at the contractor's expense with the approval of the Engineer. Before the actual testing pressure is applied any air which has lodged in the length of pipes to be tested shall be got rid of, by screwing on at the highest part of the length of pipes or temporary air valve, or, by opening a temporary stop-cock or by other mean as the Engineer may direct. The test pressure shall then be applied to the length of pipes under test by a hand or powered hydraulic test pump. The connection of the test pump to the length of pipes shall either be at the union connection provided at ~ blank flange or shall be at a temporary stop cock or fountain connections as the Engineer may in the circumstances direct. The actual test shall be made by pumping water into the length of pipes under test, until the test pressure as specified above has been reached on the pressure gauge. The test pressure shall be maintained for one hour or for such other period of time as may set by the Engineer and each joint will be inspected. While the pressure is on, the pipes should be struck smartly with a 2 kg hammer. When a flange joint is found to be leaking, care shall be taken that while tightening up the flanges, the neighboring joints are not affected. If the length of pipe line under test is found to be satisfactory and no leaks or sweatiness are found at the pipe joints or at the joints of specials and connections then this length of pipe line will be passed by the Engineer. But should any pipe, joint, special or connection be found to sweat or leak, the contractor shall make good at his cost such defective joint and the length of pipe line shall be re tested by the Engineer until ail pipes, joints, specials and connection are found to be satisfactory. H any pipe or special leaks or bursts, the damaged portion shall be removed and new pipes or specials shall be laid and jointed at the contractor's cost. 2.15 Restoring Road Surface The surface of the road or ground shall be finished off to the proper level with the same kind of materials the surface consisted of before the excavation commenced, except in the case of superior roads and tarred roads in which case the surfaces should be finished off with water bound macadam surface.
