8. DETAILED METHODOLOGY
Following are the step-by-step procedures to be followed for the installation of Storm water Network.
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.
8.3 Construction Of Chamber Base Slab, Wall, And Cover Slab: Cast-In-Situ
Curing shall be carried out by applying approved curing compound material over concrete
surface / covering the concrete surface using polythene sheet / wet hessian cloth as per project
specifications.
Approved chamber covers shall be fixed as per shop drawings / Standard details.
Surrounding and above the cover slab area shall be finished as per approved shop drawings.
The Pipes shall be lifted and placed at required location without any damage.
The placement of pipe shall be in accordance with the Manufacturer Recommendation and
Approved drawings.
The pipes shall only be lifted using straps and if required it shall have additional padding.
No sharp objects or Chains shall be used to lift the pipes.
The bedding material will be spread and levelled to the pipe gradient to a level of 15 cm below
pipe invert level, so as to have a compacted invert level.
GRP pipes will be laid in fine sand bed the fitting connection will be rubber joint.
The pipes will be checked for line and level jointly by our Surveyors and the Engineer’s
Inspectors.
Side bedding will be placed carefully and side discharge skip, discharging the materials centrally.
The pipe surround material will be placed carefully in the same manner, to a level of 15 cm in
above the crown of the pipe.
8.7.1 Preparation:
Ensure that all materials, including UPVC pipes and fittings, are stored in a cool and dry place.
Verify that the pipes and fittings comply with the required standards and specifications.
Step-1: If a person is injured/need medical assistance, remove the injured person from where
danger still exists and get first aid, do not leave the injured person until help arrives.
Step-2: For major injuries and incidents, call emergency service required and give location and
nature of emergency.
