465.07.08.01 Sewer Lining, Sewer Flow By-Pass Plan

When specified in the Contract Documents, during the execution of the work, the sewer flow shall be by-
passed around the pipeline being relined.

Pumps and by-pass lines shall be of adequate capacity and size to handle all flows.

When interruption of sewer line flows is necessary to properly conduct the inspection and rehabilitation
operations, acceptable methods of flow control shall be used. Make all necessary arrangements with the
owners, property managers, and residents of each building. All property owners or tenants or both shall
be contacted to coordinate the repair work to the sewer and minimize any impact to the residents and
businesses.

When specified in the Contract Documents, during the inspection and rehabilitation, sewer flows shall be
shut off in order to enable proper inspection of the pipe invert. After the work is completed, flows shall be
restored to normal.

On all liner installation dates, a primary and stand-by by-pass pump and pump power supply shall be
maintained on-site. Sufficient power supply and hoses shall be on-site in order to allow the pump to
discharge into the next downstream sewer section. The stand-by by-pass pump and power supply shall
be of an equal or better capability than the primary by-pass pump and power supply. No by-pass pumps
or related equipment shall be disconnected or removed from the sewer or work site until after all service
connections have been reinstated and the Contractor has recorded the post-installation video.

All by-pass pumping shall be in place and operational prior to the final pre-installation inspection. All by-
pass pumping capacities and configurations shall be approved by the Contract Administrator prior to the
actual liner installation date. When specified in the Contract Documents, all by-pass pumps and related
equipment shall be silenced equipment or contained within an acceptable sound reduction structure.

465.07.09 Preparation of Existing Pipeline

A pre-installation inspection shall be completed in the presence of the Contract Administrator prior to the
commencement of the pipeline rehabilitation.

The existing pipeline to be rehabilitated shall be prepared in accordance with the manufacturer’s
requirements for PVC Fold and Form Liner installation. Debris, grease, and other deposits shall be
removed from the pipeline. Any obstructions remaining after flushing and cleaning shall be removed
without damaging the existing pipeline walls. All roots that interfere with the lining installation shall be
removed. Any calcite build-up in the existing pipeline that interferes with the PVC Fold and Form Liner
shall be removed by means that do not damage the existing pipeline walls. Protrusions from deposits
such as calcite shall not exceed the maximum allowable values as specified in ASTM F 1216.

Existing protruding service laterals that interfere with the installation or performance of the liner shall be
removed without damage to the lateral or the pipeline wall. Flail type equipment is not permitted for the
removal of protruding laterals.

A screen shall be installed in the downstream maintenance hole in order to catch any material, including
cut outs from service connection openings that may migrate downstream. Such material shall be removed
from the maintenance hole.

If the pre-installation inspection reveals an obstruction such as a protruding service connection, a


dropped joint, or a collapse that prevents the lining process and the obstruction cannot be removed by
conventional sewer cleaning equipment, then a trenchless technique shall be attempted to remove or

November 2018 Page 6 of 10 OPSS.MUNI 465


repair the obstruction. Any necessary excavation shall be approved in writing by the Contract
Administrator prior to the commencement of such excavation.

When the filling of voids is necessary to ensure structural integrity of the pipeline and to prevent bridging
of the liner, a detailed procedure, outlining the process and materials to be used to fill the voids, shall be
submitted to the Contract Administrator for approval prior to commencement of the work.

465.07.10 Access Pits

When possible, existing maintenance holes shall be used as access pit locations. Access pit locations
shall be approved by the Contract Administrator prior to the beginning of construction.
