EXECUTION

GENERAL
Sewer pipelines shall be constructed to the alignment an d grade shown on the plans, and in compliance with the specified requirements of this Section and of the specific Section of these Specifications for the particular pipeline material being used.

SEWER INSTALLATION
A. Sewer pipelines shall have a minimum wall -to-wall horizontal clearance of three (3) feet and a minimum vertical clearance of twelve (12) inches from all other improvements and utilities unless otherwise shown on the plans as being allowed by City of Richmond under Special Approval.

B. Where sewer pipelines are to be installed in the vicinity of potable water pipelines, wall -to-wall sewer-to- water pipeline separation shall be in conformance with the minimum requirements shown on SS -13 of the Standard Drawings. Sewer pipeline installation in the area la beled “Special Permission,” will not be allowed unless specifically approved in writing by the water utility.

C. Pipe cover for sewer pipelines shall be in conformance with the requirements showed in the Standard Drawings, unless otherwise shown on the plans as being allowed by City of Richmond under a Special Approval.

D. For main sewers and trunk sewers, the grade line shall be established by setting cut stakes and obtaining

137
City of Richmond approval for cut sheets. During pipe installation, the Contractor shall continuously utilize an industrial- standard laser grade control system to confirm that the pipe is installed to the design grade, subject to the following requirements:

1. The Contractor shall provide a properly calibrated laser instrument and an operator w ho is qualified and trained in the operation of the particular laser instrument being used. The operator shall adhere to the provisions of the CalOSHA Construction Safety Orders regarding the use of laser equipment.

2. Laser control points shall be establishe d bench marks or construction cut stakes identified on the City of Richmond approved cut sheets.

3. Laser must contain a direct grade reading screen, which will allow the Inspector to verify the grade at all times.

E. Pipe shall not be laid when the Inspector determines that the condition of the trench is unsuitable.

F. If the sewer is to be laid in an area that is to be filled, and the cover prior to filling is less than the required minimum cover specified pipe material and type, the pipe shall not be laid until t he area has been properly filled and compacted to a level at least equal to required minimum cover above the proposed pipe, unless otherwise authorized by the Inspector.

G. If field conditions in areas that are potentially unstable or subject to settlement wa rrant, the Inspector may require that the Contractor substitute a different pipe material/type for the pipe shown on the plans.

H. Pipe, fittings and appurtenances shall be carefully handled and protected against damage, impact shocks, and free fall. Pipe shall be stored in a manner which will protect it from damage at the trench site or elsewhere. The Contractor shall inspect each pipe and fitting prior to installation to determine that only undamaged material is installed.

I. Before placement of pipe in the trench, each pipe or fitting shall be thoroughly cleaned of any foreign substance and shall be kept clean at all times thereafter.

J. Sewer pipelines shall be laid upgrade from the point of connection to the existing sewer with the bell end at the upgrade end of each pipe length.

K. Layout of curves should not be allowed except by special variance from COR.

The pipe shall be laid on properly compacted beddin g material as specified in Section 4-1.07 - Excavation, Bedding and Backfill. No blocking will be permitted and the pipe shall have full bearing for its entire length between bell holes excavated in said bedding material to prevent point loading at the bel ls or couplings and to allow for unobstructed assembly of all joints. Excavation shall be made as needed outside the normal trench section at field joints to permit adequate access to the joints for field connection operations and for application of coating on field joints. After jointing is completed, bell holes shall be backfilled with properly compacted bedding material, taking care not to damage, move, or lift the pipe from its bedding support.

M. Where it becomes necessary to modify the design pipe alignm ent to resolve conflicts with unforeseen obstructions or other causes, the Contractor shall propose a revised alignment to the Inspector who may allow installation per the revised alignment or may require that the revision be submitted to the Engineer for consideration. Such revision may be made by the deflection of joints, by the use of fittings or by forced bending of the pipe if permitted, however, in no case shall the deflection in the pipe or at any joint exceed the maximum deflection recommended by the pipe manufacturer.

N. Sewer pipes, branches, stubs, or other open ends which are not to be immediately connected, shall be plugged or capped.

O. The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to prevent excavated or other foreign material from getting into the pipe during the laying operations. At all times when laying operations are not in progress and at the close of the day’s work, the openings of all pipe and specials, whether in the trench or in

138
storage, shall be protected with suitable bulkheads to p revent unauthorized access by persons, animals, water, or any undesirable substance.

P. The Contractor shall prevent the pipe from floating during and after its installation.

2. Where the connection is to be made by constructing a new manhole on an existing sewer, the manhole and new connection shall conform to the details shown in SS-1 through SS-2 & SS-5A & 5B of the Standard Drawings.
