3.03 LAYING
A. The elevation and grade line, where shown on the plans, is the elevation of the pipe invert, or the lowest point
on the inside of the pipe. The Contractor shall establish the grade in the trench or excavation, conforming to
grades indicated on the drawings.
B. The subgrade shall be accurately shaped to receive the pipe barrel, and each pipe section, when in place, shall
have a uniform bearing on the subgrade for the full length of the pipe barrel. Pipe shall not be laid unless the
subgrade is free of water and in a condition satisfactory to the Architect/Engineer. Adjustments of the pipe to
line and grade shall be made by scraping away orfilling In with sand or gravel and not by wedging or blocking
up the pipe.
C. Changes in line or grade shall be accomplished by means of pipe specials or joint deflections, conforming to
the recommendations of the pipe manufacturer.
D. Unless otherwise authorized by the Architect/Engineer, the laying of pipes on the prepared subgrade shall be
started at the outlet end with the tongue ends pointed in the direction of flow and shall proceed upstream with
the abutting sections properly matched, true to the established lines and grades so that when laid in the bed
they shall form a smooth, uniform conduit. Proper facilities shall be provided for hoisting and lowering the
sections of pipe into the trench without disturbing the prepared subgrade and the sides of the trench. The ends
of the pipe shall be carefully cleaned before the pipes are placed. As each length of pipe is laid, the mouth of
the pipe shall be protected to prevent the entrance of earth or bedding material.
3.04 JOINTING
A. Mortar Joints: All pipe shall be closely jointed and sealed with stiff mortar composed of one (1) part portland
cement and two (2) parts sand, so placed as to form a watertight joint. The ends of the pipe shall be thoroughly
cleaned and wetted before making the joint. After any section of the pipe is laid and before any succeeding
section is laid, the lower half of the groove of the pipe last laid shall be thoroughly plastered by troweling on an
even layer of mortar. The tongue end of the next section of pipe shall then be inserted, fitted as close as the
construction of the pipe will permit, and the lower half of the inner circumference of the joints of- pipe over
eighteen (18") inches in diameter shall be sealed and packed with mortar and finished smooth and even with
the adjacent sections of pipe. Before this mortar has attained initial set, additional mortar shall then be applied
from the outside and forced into the unfilled portion of the groove to fill completely the annular space around
the tongue. For pipe smaller than eighteen (18") inches in diameter, a swab shall be drawn through the pipe
to remove any fins of mortar from the joint. No backfilling of the trench shall be undertaken until after the
cemented pipe joints have set up. Any pipe which is not in true alignment, or which shows any undue
settlement, or is damaged, shall be taken up and relaid or replaced without extra compensation.
B. Cold Applied, Preformed Plastic Gaskets: These preformed gaskets may be used forsealing tongue and groove
concrete pipe sewers. The gasket shall be produced from blends of refined hydrocarbon resins and plasticizing
compounds reinforced with inert mineral filler and shall contain no solvents, irritating fumes, or obnoxious odors.
The gasket joint sealer shall not depend on oxidizing, evaporating, or chemical action for its adhesive or
cohesive strength and shall be supplied in extruded rope form of suitable cross section. The gasket joint sealer
shall be protected by a removable two piece wrapper designed so that one-half may be removed longitudinally
without disturbing the other half to facilitate application. Preformed gaskets shall be Ram-Nek, as manufactured
by K.T. Snyder Co., Inc., of Houston, Texas, or approved equal.
3.05 BACKFILL
A. After the bedding has been prepared and the pipes installed as required, backfill shall be placed in accordance
with SECTION 31 2333 - TRENCHING AND BACKFILLING. If the material, when tested, fails to meet the
density requirements, the backfill shall be required to be removed and replaced to meet the proper density.
B. Backfill shall not be placed until the Architect/Engineer or his representative has observed the trench and
authorized the placing of backfill. All debris shall be removed from the trench prior to beginning the backfilling
operations. Sheet, shoring and bracing shall be pulled and removed during the progress of the backfilling in
such a manner to protect the trench and the pipe.
C. Backfilling shall then be brought up to an elevation slightly above the original ground level to allow for
subsequent settlement. The top surface of slopes of all backfill shall be neatly graded off in a workmanlike
manner, and where select topsoil, sod, or other material is removed and piled separately, such material shall
be carefully replaced in a manner satisfactory to the Architect/Engineer. The top one (1') foot of backfill material
shall be of as good quality as the original topsoil which was removed.
