3. GENERAL 1) When there is a conflict among the requirements of the Project Specification and this

specification, the requirements of Project Specification shall govern. 2) When there is a conflict among the requirements of the applicable standards and this

specification, the requirements herein shall govern. 3) All drawings and documents shall be based on combination of modified metric and US

customary units as specified in GES-001, paragraph 3.3. 4. DESIGN 4.1 GENERAL

1) All piping shall be designed, fabricated and installed by a qualified contractor in accordance with this specification, individual job specifications and procedures approved by OWNER.

2) Non-metallic piping shall generally be used for underground applications as it precludes the necessity of outside coating/wrapping and cathodic protection.

3) In case, specific project requirements dictate the need or feasibility for above ground installation of non-metallic piping, special attention is to be paid to design and layout for its protection from mechanical damage and ultraviolet rays. Care is also to be exercised in the design of supporting system to avoid over stress of piping.

4.2 DESIGN CONDITIONS Except for the specific line conditions, design conditions for underground piping are as follows:

1) Typical soil conditions at pipe depth: • Soil Type (Note 1) Coarse-grained soils with little or no ........................... fines • Compaction (Note 1, 2) Slight; 40% relative density • Type of installation (Note-2) Coarse-grained, shaped bedding with

slightly compacted backfill material placed at the sides of the pipe; 40-70% relative density

• Groundwater Level (Note 1) 1500mm below ground level • Soil specific weight (Note 2). 1,900 kg/m3

2) Burial Depth to top of pipe (unless dictated by specific project requirements and designed accordingly)

3000mm (Note 3) Maximum 1500mm (Note 3). Minimum

3) Live loads for road crossing only (Note 3)


October, 1999 of 14

Vehicular traffic load/Single-wheel load. . . . 9000kg NOTES: Note 1 - To be verified with soil report Note 2 - To be verified with vendor data and details developed during engineering. Note 3 - Stringent requirements may apply depending on vendor requirements or specific road

traffic, e.g., for modularization path or for continuous burial of pipe under the road.

4.3 DESIGN STUDIES AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS 1) The following studies shall be performed for each underground system:

• Thrust load study • External load study • Thermal expansion study • Hydraulic study

2) The following pipe properties to be used for design studies and calculations shall be reported by the manufacturer:

• Hoop tensile module of elasticity : EH • Hydrostatic design basis :HDB • Ring flexual modulus of elasticity : :E • Minimum pipe stiffness :F/y • Long-term ring-bending strength :Sb • Poisson’s ratios :Vh, Vl

3) Unbalanced thrust forces at changes in direction and/or at the ends shall be restrained to prevent joint separation or over-stressing the piping. Relationship of this restraint and the soil condition surrounding the pipe shall be taken into consideration in the design of restraints and/or thrust blocks.

4) Uplift forces (buoyancy) and external pressures due to high groundwater level at pipe depth shall be considered for underground lines especially in their empty condition. Means to restrain the buoyancy and to withstand the external pressures, may includes stiffening ribs, increasing pipe wall thickness or other methods as recommended by the manufacturer.

5) Thermal expansion due to elevated service temperature shall be accommodated by one or a combination of such means as, flexible system/joints, increased wall thickness, etc. 6) Vendor shall provide hardness and hydrostatic design stress (HDS) values and class limitations

working pressure as-a-minimum. For this test, the means of sealing the ends of the pipe shall be by a test ring incorporating the proposed rubber ring, or a gasket, etc., that will be used in the installed pipeline.


October, 1999 of 14

2) Field hydrotest of all non-metallic piping is mandatory and shall be performed as per project procedures. Hydrotest pressure, as-a-minimum, shall be as per line designation table.

3) No hydrostatic testing procedures shall induce loads in the pipe for which it was not

designed. 4) The sealing integrity of each dual O-ring bell and spigot joint shall be predetermined by

use of the test port installed between the O-ring pair prior to filling the pipe with water. 5) The line shall be filled with water in such a way that all air is vented before the line is

pressurized. The line shall be initially pressurized at 50% of the design operating pressure for 10 minutes to seal all gaskets and O-rings.

6) The line shall then be brought gradually to the test pressure, blanked off and observed for

7) After the pressure test, the line shall be emptied and inspected for surface cracks or

structural damages.

11. EXAMINATION AND INSPECTION 1) The seller shall have, as part of his usual business practice, an established, routine, and

documented quality control program. This program shall provide evidence that the materials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection, and testing of the items conform to the specifications and requirements established in the Purchase Order. This program shall ensure that all variables affecting the requirements for reliability, safety, operability and durability of the complete items have been considered, evaluated, tested, and controlled. When requested, the Seller shall submit his quality control program for approval.

2) All items shall be new (not previously used) and the interior and exterior surfaces shall

be free of debris. 3) Inspection shall be per GES-025-01 and project execution procedures for shop and field

inspection. 4) Items containing defects or not in complete compliance with the requirements of the

Purchase Order and referenced documents, will be rejected. 5) Discovery of defects, after inspection and acceptance of the items by the Purchaser, does

not relieve the Seller of the responsibility to comply with the requirements of this specification and the Purchase Order.


October, 1999 of 14

12. REPAIRS - METHODS AND PROCEDURES 1) Repair methods for minor blemishes and damage shall be proposed by the Contractor and

must be completely compatible with the construction of the pipe manufacturer. 2) Repairs will not be allowed when a pipe has a crack extending through the entire wall

thickness, if a hole is made in the pipe wall, or equally serious damage has occurred. In such cases, the pipe shall be removed and not incorporated in the Works.

13. HANDLING AND SHIPPING 1) All pipe and fittings shall be properly handled in a safe manner that will not allow

damage, scuffing, or over-stressing. The pipe and fittings must not be allowed to impact on any hard objects as non-visible impact damage may occur resulting in future failures or leakage.

2) All shipments shall be adequately packaged, braced and cradled in order to prevent

damage during transit. Ends shall be adequately protected from damage. 3) All handling shall be by means of non-abrasive slings for the purpose of preventing

damage to the pipe surface. The use of cables or chains is prohibited. 4) Polyvinyl chloride pipe (PVC) and fiberglass (FRP) piping shall not be stored as above

ground piping in areas exposed to direct sunlight since ultra-violet rays are detrimental to the life of the pipe.
