Step-10: Backfilling & Compaction
8.1 Preparation of Work:

 Check and ensure all drawings used for installation are the latest and approved for construction.
 Necessary approval has been obtained for the Earthworks and Material to be used. All materials
must be approved prior to work start.
 The Excavation shall be as per the exact coordinates of approved shop drawings.

8.2 Excavation Compaction and Bedding Works:
Setting Out will be made from the initial/Principal survey control points and as per approved
drawings. The exact layout of the excavation pit will be made considering the working space,
necessary slopes etc. And will be marked by the survey equipment.
8.2.1 Excavation / Trenching Work and Compaction:

 Surveyor to set out coordinates and levels of networks, chamber chambers, chambers, culverts,
etc.
 Barricade the area properly.
 Start excavation using mechanical excavator to the required depth and depth as shown in the
approved drawings. Surface to be trimmed and levelled.
 If any ground water is observed during excavation, further excavation will be stopped with
immediate effect. The excavation will again resume when proper dewatering arrangement has
been made and lowering of the water table has been achieved.

of the rubber gasket.
 Ensure that the lubricant is evenly distributed and covers the entire gasket.
 Insert the lubricated rubber gasket into the groove of the fitting or socket, ensuring that it is
seated evenly.
 Insert the prepared end of the UPVC pipe into the gasketed fitting or socket.
 Use a rubber mallet or dead blow hammer to gently tap the pipe into the fitting, ensuring a
snug fit.
 Make sure the pipe is fully seated in the gasket and fitting.
 Verify that the pipes and fittings are aligned correctly according to the project specifications.
 Make any necessary adjustments to achieve proper alignment.
8.8 Warning Tape Installation, Backfilling and Compaction:

 Once initial gravity / Air test approved by Engineer, backfill can be commenced.
 All materials must be capable of being compacted to the specified density.
 Backfill material shall be graded with maximum size particles not to exceed 100mm.
 Backfilling & compaction operations shall be in accordance with the applicable utility
specification sections.
 Bring up the fill on both sides of pipes together to ensure pipeline alignment is maintained. Use
a handheld compactor to do this.
 Trenches shall be backfilled using stockpile material in 300mm maximum layers over properly
bedded sewer pipes and carefully tamped until the sewer services have maximum cover of
300mm.
 Warning tape shall be laid at least 300mm above pipes or as directed by Engineer.
 Avoid damaging the pipes by direct impact. Keep heavy rocks and other such material out of the
fill adjacent to the pipe and the embedment zone.
 The top 1m of backfill shall be compacted to not less than 95% of MDD as per ASTMD1557.
 Trenches in non-paved areas shall be compacted to 90% of MDD.

 Ensure that the pipe is compacted with a pedestrian roller to the requisite level over the top of
the pipe prior to bringing on compaction and construction loads.
 Inspection request shall be raised as per approved ITP.
 Compaction test reports from approved Third Party Laboratory shall be submitted to the
Consultant.
9. INSPECTION AND TEST PROCEDURE

9.1 Inspection Procedure:
 The material received on site shall be inspected by the consultant prior to commencement of
work and the same should be recorded in MIR.
 Once the pipes are installed, it shall be ensured that they are in compliance with the approved
material, approved Method Statement and it complies with all the reference section stated in
the ITP.
 It shall be verified that the pipe is sloped and installed at exact location coordinates as shown in
approved shop drawing or As-built drawing.
 The slope shall be verified by a surveyor and all joints shall be verified visually to confirm that all
the joints are properly done.
 The backfilling and Inspection chamber, catch basins, Frames and Covers shall be inspected by
the consultant as required.
9.2 Test Procedures:
9.2.1 Visual Inspection:

 Begin with a visual inspection of the installed pipes to identify any visible defects, misalignments,
or damage.
9.2.2 Invert Levels and Gradient Check:

 Verify the invert levels and gradients of the installed pipes using a surveyor's level or other
appropriate tools. This ensures that the pipes have been installed at the correct slope to allow
for proper drainage.
9.2.3 Plumb and Alignment Check:

 Ensure that the pipes are plumb and aligned correctly. Misalignments can affect the flow of
stormwater and contribute to potential issues.
9.2.4 Flow Direction Verification:

 Confirm that the installed pipes are configured to allow for the correct flow direction of
stormwater, preventing any potential stagnation or blockages.

9.2.5 Obstruction Check:

 Inspect the interior of the pipes for any obstructions, debris, or foreign materials that could
impede the flow of stormwater.
9.2.6 Manhole and Gully Assessment:

 Evaluate the functionality of manholes and gullies along the network. Ensure that they are
correctly positioned and allow for proper access and maintenance.
9.2.7 Hydraulic Testing:

 Conduct hydraulic testing to simulate the flow of stormwater through the gravity-fed system.
This involves introducing a controlled amount of water to assess the pipes' capacity and confirm
that the system operates as intended.
9.2.8 Recording and Documentation:

 Maintain detailed records of the testing process, including invert levels, measurements, flow
rates, and any issues identified. Proper documentation is crucial for quality assurance and
compliance reporting.
