provided. Trenches to be back filled with fine gravel around ducts to minimum depth
of 50 cm.

4.0 Construction Procedures

a. Submittal / approval of drawings for construction.

b. Submittal / approval of materials.

c. Check availability of material and lead time to order material.

d. Keep the materials in good storage conditions, special care must be taken to protect
the units from moisture, corrosion and dust. Pipes must be stored horizontally with
adequate support and handled with care when moving the material around.
e. Obtain excavation permit.

f. Trenching and Excavation for the installation of underground piping.

Check for setting out and mark piping location on ground using pegs confirm the
approved drawing.

Excavate trenches under building slab for 300mm cover over the pipe. A minimum of
600mm cover to be provided where pipe may be exposed to heavy overhead traffic.

Shoring of trenches is to be provided if the excavation depth exceeds 1.5m.

Barricade around the area that have been excavated on soft ground.

Keep excavations dry wherever necessary.

The pipes shall not rest on rock at any point, including joints.

The side-fill should be shovelled under the pipe to make sure that there are no voids
in the side fill.

The haunch areas adjacent to the pipe between the bottom of pipe and its horizontal
centreline shall be filled with a clean course-grain material such as sand, gravel, or soil.

unless otherwise indicated.

Building Sanitary and Storm Drain: 2 percent downward in the direction of flow for
piping NPS 3 (DN 80) and smaller;1 percent downward in direction of flow for piping
NPS 4 (DN 100) and larger.

Horizontal Sanitary and Storm Drainage Piping: 2 percent downward in direction of

flow.
Vent Piping: 1 percent down toward vertical fixture vent or
toward vent stack.
h. Make changes in direction for Sanitary, Vent and Storm drainage piping using
appropriate branches, bends, and long-sweep bends. Use proper size of standard
increasers and reducers if pipes of different sizes are connected. Reducing size of
drainage piping in direction of flow is prohibited.

i. Clean pipes and fittings, removed oil, grease and any other loosely

adhering deposits
j. Carefully unload required lengths and sizes of pipes to the work area.

k. Install pipes on the concrete pads making sure that they are secured in place and to
the required slope.

l. Install following pipes and fittings as per its application:

5) THRUST BLOCKS:
