3.03 TESTING OF MANHOLES ON GRAVITY LINES
A. At the option of the Contractor, either the following hydrostatic or vacuum test shall be performed.

B. Hydrostatic Test:
(1) Insert inflatable plugs in all sewer inlets and outlets. (2) Fill the manhole with water to a point six inches below the base of the manhole frame.
(3) Maintain the water at this point for one hour to allow time for absorption. (4) Begin one -hour test period. Measure the amount of water added in one - hour period to maintain the water level at six inches below the base of the manhole frame. Do not allow water level to drop more than 25% of the manhole depth.
(5) Determine the allowable leakage by the following formula. (6) L=0.0002 x D X H 1/2
(7) L = Allowable leakage, gallons per minute.
(8) D = Depth of manhole from top to bottom, feet.
(9) H = Head of water in feet as measured from the surface of the water in the manhole to the sewer line invert or to the prevailing ground water surface outside the manhole. The lesser height governs. (10) If the leakage exceeds the allowable, determine the cause, take remedial action and re -test the manhole. If the leakage is less than the allowable and leaks are observed, repair the leaks.

C. Vacuum Test:
(1) General: Test in accordance with ASTM C 1244.
(2) Test prior to backfilling around the manhole.
(3)
Test Preparation: Plug all lift holes and pipes entering or exiting the manhole.
(4) Place test head inside the top section of the manhole's cone section and inflate in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. (5) Draw a vacuum of 10 -inches of mercury and shut the pump off. (6) With the valve closed, the time for the vacuum to drop 9 -inches shall be measured.

The manhole shall pass the test if the time is greater than 60 seconds for (7)

(3) Allow time for thrust blocks to cure prior to testing. (4) Flush all pipes prior to testing to remove all foreign material. (5) Perform pressure and leakage test concurrently.
(6) Test pressure: See Subsection titled "System Performance Requirements."
(7) Apply test pressure by means of a pump connected to the pipe. (8) Base test pressure on the elevation of the lowest point in the line. (9) Fill each closed valve section or bulk -headed section slowly. Expel air from section being tested by means of permanent air vents installed at high points or by means of temporary corporation cocks installed at such points. Remove and plug the temporary corporation cocks at the conclusion of the test.
(10) Allow water to stand in the pipe for 24 hours before test pressure is applied.
(11) Allow the system to stabilize at the test pressure before conducting the leakage test.
(12) Do not operate valves in either the opening or closing direction at differential pressures above the valves rated pressure. (13) Maintain test pressure as specified for type of pipe being tested. (14) Pressure Test: Examine any exposed pipe, fittings, valves, hydrants and joints during the test, if no leaks are observed the section of line has passed the pressure test. If leaks are observed, repair any damaged or defective pipe, fittings, valves, or hydrants, and repeat the pressure test.

P = Average test pressure during the leakage test, pounds per square inch (gauge).

C. PE Pipe Leakage Test:
(1) Apply the test pressure and allow the pipe to stand, without makeup pressure, for sufficient time to allow for diametric expansion or pipe stretching to stabilize, approximately two to three hours. (2) After the above stabilization has occurred, return the section being tested to the test pressure. Hold the test pressure for one to three hours. If the pressure in the test section drops, and it is determined the drop may be the result of expansion resulting from increasing temperature, a limited amount of additional water may be added to bring the pressure back to the test pressure. Allowable amounts of make-up water, to compensate for expansion due to increasing temperature, are as shown in the following table. Make-up water is only allowed during this final test period and not during the initial stabilization described in the previous paragraph.

If the additional water added is less than the allowable shown in the table and there are no visual leaks or significant pressure drops, the tested section passes the test.

3.05 TESTING OF GRAVITY PIPING MAINS
A. Obstructions: After backfilling and compacting, but before paving or other surface improvements, test sewer for obstructions either by rodding or by the sewer ball method. Provide for intercepting all grit, rocks and other flushed debris to keep debris from entering the existing system.

B. At the option of the Contractor, either the following hydrostatic or air test shall be performed.

C. Hydrostatic Test:
(1) Test after backfilling to finish grade or pavement structural section subgrade in paved areas.
(2) Test sewer mains between successive manholes by closing the lower end of the sewer main to be tested and the inlet sewer main of the upper manhole with stoppers.
(3)
Fill pipe and manholes with water to a point four feet below the ground surface of the upper manhole, but in no case less than four feet above the pipe invert. If ground water is present, the water surface at the upper manhole shall be at least four feet above the level of the ground water. (4) Fill piping at least one hour prior to testing.
(5) Test piping at least two hours by maintaining the head specified above with measured additions of water. The sum of these additions of water, in the two-hour test period, shall be the leakage amount.
(6) The maximum allowable head of water above any portion of sewer being tested shall be 15 -feet. Where the difference in elevation between successive manholes exceeds 15 -feet, a test tee shall be installed between manholes, and the testing shall be carried on between the tee and the manhole.
(7)
The allowable leakage shall not exceed 0.1 -gallons per minute per inch diameter, per 1000 -feet of sewer main being tested.
(8) If the leakage exceeds the above amount, determine the cause and remedy it prior to retesting.
(9)
If the leakage is less than the allowable, but leaks are observed, repair the observed leaks.

D. Air Test:
(1) Test after backfilling to finish grade or pavement structural section subgrade in paved areas.
(2) Apply to each length between adjacent manholes.
(3) Supply pressure gauge with minimum divisions of 0.10 -psi and with an accuracy of +/- 0.04 -psi. When requested by the Owner, provide SANITARY SEWERAGE UTILITIES 33 30 00 - 7

Page 2378 of 3058 ends

CITY OF BEAUMONT
certification that the gauge has been tested for accuracy within the last six months by a reliable testing firm.
(4) Pressurize the test section to 3.5 -psi, and then hold the pressure above

3.0 -psi during a saturation period of at least 5 minutes. At the end of the saturation period, note the pressure, which must be a minimum of 3.0 -psi, and begin the timed period. If the pressure drops 0.5 -psi in less than the time given in the following table the section of pipe has not passed the test.

(6) If the time for the pressure to drop 0.5 -psi is 125% or less of the time indicated, the line shall immediately be re -pressurized to 3.0 -psi and the test repeated. If, during the 5 -minute saturation period, the pressure drops less than 0.5 -psi after the initial pressurization and air is not added, the section undergoing the test shall have passed.
(7)
If the test did not pass, find and repair the leak to the satisfaction of the Owner.
(8) When the prevailing ground water is above the line being tested the air pressure shall be increased 0.43 -psi for each foot the water table is above the invert of the pipe at the highest manhole.

3.06 TESTING OF LATERALS
A. At the option of the Contractor, either the following hydrostatic or air test shall be performed.

B. Hydrostatic Test:
(1) Test laterals before backfilling
(2) Plug lateral at its ends and fill with water through the cleanouts. (3) Maintain the water level in the cleanouts as high as possible throughout SANITARY SEWERAGE UTILITIES 33 30 00 - 8

CITY OF BEAUMONT
the test period.
(4) One hour after filling with water, examine the lateral for leakage. (5) Repair all leaks to the satisfaction of the Owner.
(6) Do not backfill the trench until testing and repairs of the lateral are complete, and approved by the Owner.
(7)
Following approval of the Owner, remove all plugs, dispose of the water and complete the connection to the main.

C. Air Test
(1) Test after backfilling to finish grade or pavement structural section subgrade in paved areas.
(2) Test in accordance with subsection above titled "Testing of Gravity Piping Mains," paragraph titled "Air Test."

B. Pipe Depth and Trench Configuration: Conform to typical trench section(s) indicated.

C. Excavation, Bedding, Backfill, and Compaction: Section 31 23 33 — Trenching and Backfilling.

D. Handling: Carefully handle during loading, hauling, unloading and placing operations to avoid breakage or damage. Use strap type slings for lifting and placing; no chains or hooks will be permitted. Comply with manufacturer's recommendations.

E. Laying: Before lowering pipe into the trench, remove all stakes, debris, loose rock and other hard materials from the bottom of the trench. Lay accurately in conformance with lines and grades indicated. Start laying the pipeline at the low end and proceed upstream. Lay bell and spigot pipe with the bell end facing upstream. Lay pipe on a bed prepared by handwork, dug true to grade. Furnish firm bearing for pipe throughout it's entire length with bell holes provided at the ends of each pipe length of sufficient size to permit making up the particular type of joint being used. Adjust pipe to line and grade by scraping away or filling and tamping material under the body of the pipe for the entire pipe length and not by blocking or wedging. After final positioning, hold pipe in place in trench with backfill material placed equally on both sides of the pipe at as many locations as required to hold the pipe section in place.

F. Curved Alignment: When necessary to conform to the alignment specifically indicated, lay pipe on a curved alignment by means of asymmetrical closure of joints or bending of the pipe barrel. Use shorter lengths of pipe than the standard length if necessary to achieve curvature specified. Do not exceed the recommendations of the pipe manufacture for deflections at the joints or pipe bending.

G. Closure: Close open ends of pipes and appurtenance openings at the end of each days work or when work is not in progress.
