UNDER GROUND DRAINAGE PIPE WORK

1.0

Purpose
To define the method of installation of underground pipe work.

2.0

Scope
This method is applicable for drainage pipe work below ground.

Method
3.1

Preparation Work
3.1.1 Check the trench route to be made to ensure that the
pipes to be installed are as indicated on approved
construction drawings.
3.1.2 Check the materials to be used are as per the
approved make.
3.1.3 Levelling of ground before excavation to be done by
the main contractor.
3.1.4 Excavate the trench as per the route marked on
approved drawing. The trench bed must be compacted
smooth and must be free from foreign particles
3.1.5 Check whether the inside portion of pipe is properly
cleaned before installation / fit up.
3.1.6 Place concrete blocks at standard distance to support
the
pipes.
3.1.7 Lay the pipes as per the invert levels & slope
mentioned in the approved layout with proper supports,
using the water level & measuring tape with respect to the
benchmark level.
3.1.8

Inspection of pipe work and levels to be checked.

3.1.9 Tangent Glue is applied on the pipe after cleaning it

and abrading the surface to roughness using sand paper
and left for few minutes to dry it.
3.1.10 Inspect the pipe work for leakage by gravity leakage
test. (by Consultant)

1.0

Purpose
This method of statement is to define the installation of Pipe work at high level.

2.0

Scope
This method of statement is applicable for installation of Pipe works at high level
for drainage pipe works.

Installation Procedure
3.1.1 Installation of pipes
3.1.2 Mark out the location of hanger thread rods for pipe installation
as per the approved construction drawing.
3.1.3 Drill the marked position for hangers and supports by using the drill bit
of appropriate size.
3.1.4 Fix the unfix anchor at drilled position by gentle and uniformly
hammering.
3.1.5 Fix the threaded rod of 6mm diameter appropriate size & length in the
anchor by twisting by turning.
3.1.6 After fixing the threaded rod, insert a 6mm diameter washer of
appropriate size in to the rod.
3.1.7 Finally fix the washer near to the slab by tightening a nut over it, this
will improve the strength and load bearing capacity of threaded rod.
3.1.8 After cutting the pipes in the required length, both ends should be
chamfered properly to remove the unevenness and surface is made
rough using sand paper for length of 3 cm (approx) for good adhesive
surface preperations.
3.1.9

Install the pipe in position as per the approved layout and make the
end connection of pipes as standard specification for each service.

3.1.10 After completion of pipe end connection, fix / tight the support clamps
properly to make the pipe straight and level as per the layout.
