2. Perform a survey of existing and proposed 200 mm diameter PE 100, PN16 HDPE Fire Water
pipeline route to identify the existing Fire Water pipelines, Tie-in points, Blind off locations and
other nearby facilities at the site.

8.2 EXCAVATION AND PIPELINE LAYING AND TIE-IN

1. Before carrying out the excavation works, the scanning of the area within the site boundary will be
done to identify location of existing underground services and same shall be informed to QP of
any interference of existing services with the proposed pipeline route.
2. The proposed area will be excavated.
3. The excavation dept will 2.o meters or as per QP specification
4. If the bottom of the excavated trench is rock or hard material, then the bottom of the trench will be
cushioned with well compacted soft bedding material to a minimum thickness of 300mm below
the barrel of the pipe.
5. Pipe will be laid to a min. depth of cover as specified in the drawings and specification.
6. Before laying each pipe will be carefully inspected that there is no damage to pipe, the trench must
be completely dry.
7. The trench formation should be well prepared and checked.
8. During laying operation the ends of the pipe shall remain sealed by pipe end caps, until
immediately prior to jointing and will be laid as stated in QCS 2014, Section 19, Part 03.
9. Pipe handling will be in accordance with the requirements of specification. Exposed pipe shall be
properly supported and protected from UV light, environmental attack and mechanical damage.
10. The induction of stresses in the pipe or in joints during installation shall be avoided.
11. The necessary tie-in to the existing 200mm diameter HDPE Fire Water Pipeline outside the
excavation limit of the proposed Secondary school will be done.
12. Ensure that the pipe is uniformly supported.
13. The trench will be in compliance with the requirements of specification, and proper bedding and
padding material will be used where required.
14. The pipeline will be supported with a thrust block at every unrestrained joint.
15. It will be ensured that no stone or rock impingement exists at the pipeline to soil interface.
16. Immediately after installation of each pipe or lengths in sections from fittings to fittings inspection
request will be raised.
17. Construction of valve chambers for isolation gate valves with appropriate size will be done in
accordance with QP specifications and standards
18. Hydro test shall be carried out as per QP specification.
19. Marker tape and route marker as per applicable QP Specification will also be provided.
