3.0 MATERIAL
A. GENERAL
All drainage work shall be carried out in conformity with the drawings and
specification.
B. EXCAVATION
The bottoms of all excavations shall be trimmed and consolidated to the correct
levels. Where the bottom is insufficiently firm, the Contractor shall excavate until, in
the ER.’s opinion a firm bottom is obtained and the level shall be made up with
material of the same composition as for drain beds. Particulars of such additional
work shall be agreed with the ER before the work is covered up.
Care shall be taken not to undermine the foundations of buildings and, if so directed
by the ER, planking and strutting shall be left in or other means adopted to protect the
foundations.
D. BACKFILLING
Trenches shall be filled to a depth of 12" with selected fine materials carefully hand
packed around the pipe. On no account shall material be tipped into the trench until
the first 12" has been completed. Filling shall be continued in layers not exceeding
12" thick, well rammed and if necessary, watered.
E. CONCRETE BEDS
Concrete beds shall be (1:3:6 – ½" aggregate) in beds for drains shall be a minimum
of 6" thick unless indicated otherwise. Beds shall be finished to the correct gradients.
Where as directed, beds shall be reinforced.
Care shall be taken not to undermine the foundations of buildings and, if so directed
by the ER planking and strutting shall be left in or other means adopted to protect the
foundations.
Precast concrete channel shall be cast to the size and shape as shown on the drawings
and shall be of concrete (1:2:4 – ¾ aggregate).

Moulds for the manufacture of the concrete units shall be of strong construction lined
with approved metallic surface. The units produced must be sound and with a smooth
inside surface to the satisfaction of the ER.
The block drains shall be jointed with 1:3 cement mortar to produce a smooth surface
and even gradient.
Precast concrete kerb shall be cast to the size and shape as shown on the drawings and
shall be of concrete (1:2:4 – ¾" aggregate).
I. COVERING
Positions of drains generally shall be as shown on drawings but the exact alignment
and invert levels shall be confirmed by the ER. on the site.

Drains shall be formed in accordance with the sizes and cross-sections shown on
drawings. They shall be so constructed that the inverts slope at a uniform or
increasing gradient. Where natural ground conditions do not permit this, silt pits shall
be provided when steep gradients change into a flatter gradient.
Precast concrete drains shall be laid true to line and grade and level on a firm base
with closely butting joints. No joint shall exceed 3/8" in width and the precast section
in place shall be buttered with mortar, squeezed out and struck off flush with the
finished surface. All cavities on the sides of the invert shall be completely backfilled
and rammed. Precast side slabs shall be laid fully resting on firm ground breaking
joints with the invert. Where the slab and top edge of the invert meets, a continuous
strip of in-situ concrete shall be provided as shown on drawings to give a firm bond
between the two meeting edges and to seal it watertight. The slab shall be tamped to
rest squarely on ground surface and shall not be left supported on soil loosely packed
behind the slab.
Drains shall be cascaded with drops where directed with overlapping joints and joints
made good with in-situ concrete. Drain inter-sections shall be carefully constructed
with in-coming drain inclined to the direction of flow of the main drain. All inter-
sections shall be neatly built-in and made good with in-situ concrete.
The Contractor shall notify the ER when the drains are ready for testing and no
trenches are to be filled in until the drains have been tested.
Allow for testing the drains in section, with the water test or by other means when laid

and again on completion of the Contract. If the drains do not pass the test or are found
to be out of alignment the whole of the defective length shall be taken out and re-laid
or replaced at the Contractor’s expense and the drains re-tested until they are
satisfactory.
All rubbish particularly earth, mud, wood chipping, shaving and sawdust, shall be
removed from the steel reinforcement before concrete is placed and the formwork to
be in contact with the concrete shall be cleaned and either thoroughly wetted.
Note : Care should be taken that the oil or composition is kept out of contact with the
reinforcement.
The safety for application of this work shall comply with NSD’S Health, Safety
Environment Manual. All basic requirements for personnel will be check prior to
work.
