4. Difinitions
This area is located in an undeveloped suburb of the city and there are few other buildings in the
construction site area (The underlying pipeline needs to be checked and re-checked before each
section of excavation construction to prevent the old embedment pipeline have been dig a broken).
According to the Tender Documents, we can know the soil quality of this area is well.
The work includes site clearance,excavation,backfilling and compaction of trench, installation of uPVC
pipe, VC pipe，GRP pipe, manholes and relevant pipe fittings, connection to the existing lines, concrete
encasement, set warning tape, installation of manholes, and pipe connection to manhole.

7. Detailed Construction Sequence
7.1 Material Procurement
All the materials shall be inspected in accordance with the requirements of the Specification and
cannot be used unless they are proved qualified.

7.2 Surveying and Pipeline Axis Setting Out

With reference to the drawings, the central benchmark of the pipeline will be set by GPS surveying;
the locations of bends and valve chambers are marked and staked with GPS and level according to
benchmarks. The central axis of the pipeline in a portion of a straight line is marked with lime.
Where obstacles are found above or underground within the site, they shall be marked and removed
or be provided with protection measures while setting out.
All sewage pipelines shall be laid accurately to the lines, and levels gradients shown on the approved
drawings so that the pipeline is straight between successive manholes in the vertical and horizontal
planes.

 Drawing 7-1 Setting Out (Indicative)

7.3 Trench Excavation

Trench excavation shall accord with the requirements of the Specification. Trench excavation is mainly
mechanical excavation assisted by manual. Mechanical excavation is carried out with
excavators. We will determine the form of excavation according to the geological survey report. ,such
as step excavation or slope excavation.

DRAWING 7-2 Diagram of Excavation Section

Earth excavated is laid 1.5m away from the top line of the slope. To avoid trench collapse after
excavation and delaying the work progress, pipe installation is executed immediately after excavation
for trench.
The specific excavation width is shown in the section.

 DRAWING 7-3 PIPE TRENCH DETAIL
The general trench section is as section A shows.

Section A

Where the underground water level is high, CHEC shall adopt an open channel using a sewage pump
for dewatering.

After excavations have been completed to the design level and, the trench formation compacted, the
Contractor shall issue a formal notice to the Engineer that the trench formation is ready between
designated points for inspection. The Engineer will without unreasonable delay inspect the said trench
formation, unless he considers it unnecessary and advises the Contractor accordingly. Any rejection of
trench formation will be confirmed in writing by the Engineer.

7.4 Pipe Installation

Pipes shall be delivered to the construction area in batch based on the construction schedule. uPVC
pipes shall be flexibly jointed with rubber ring joints. GRP pipe shall be jointed with dual-bell coupling.
The quality of rubber joint rings and solvent cement used as well as the connection method for joints
must be in accordance with the Specification. The pipe is inserted until to the marked line with a chain
hoist or other drawing force machinery, aligning the spigot with the socket to ensure the portion to be
inserted is level. The pipe shall be aligned carefully in both the horizontal and vertical planes. During
laying operations, no debris, tools, cloth or other materials are allowed to enter the pipe. The
connection of pipe to manhole shall use approved epoxy grout for seal.
7.5 Pipe Test
All pipelines shall be tested between manholes or valve chambers not exceeding 400 m.On completion
of testing the section of pipeline shall be properly sealed to prevent the intrusion of any extraneous
matter, until connected to the pipeline network. All flexible pipelines shall be tested for deflection as
per this specification.
7.6 Backfilling
Backfilling shall be done immediately after finishing pipe installation and testing. Provide warning tape
located at 300 mm above the top of the pipe in all trenches.
Trench Backfilling (Within the Pipe Zone): Trench backfill shall contain no rocks or stones larger than 25
mm in the greatest dimension and shall be free of vegetation, trash, chunks of highly plastic clay, or
other unsatisfactory- material.
Trench backfilling consists of two procedures: a) Backfilling prior to Test. The trench shall be hand
tamped and backfilled with part of sand above the pipe and leave the pipe joints clean. The gap
between the bottom of the pipe and the trench bottom must be tamped and no backfilling is allowed
within 0.3m on each side of the connection for further test observation. b) Massive backfilling after the
pipe is approved quality fied with an ex-filtration test. Backfilling is executed on both sides of the pipe

7
simultaneously and the soil shall be compacted layer by layer.
