and backfilling is authorized by Geotechnical Testing Agency. Use care in backfilling to avoid damage or displacement of pipe systems.

c. Refer to Section 02222 – Excavation, Backfill, and Compaction of Utilitites.

8. Provide 4-inch-thick concrete base slab support for piping or conduit less than 2'-6” below surface of roadways. After installation and testing of piping or conduit, provide minimum 4-inch-thick encasement (sides and top) of concrete prior to backfilling or placement of roadway subbase.

B. Backfill excavations as promptly as progress of the Work permits, but not until completion of the following:

1. Acceptance of construction below finish grade including, where applicable, dampproofing, waterproofing, and perimeter insulation.

2. Inspection, testing, approval, and recording locations of underground utilities have been performed and recorded.

3. Removal of concrete formwork.

4. Removal of shoring and bracing, and backfilling of voids with satisfactory materials. Cut off temporary sheet piling driven below bottom of structures and remove in manner to prevent settlement of the structure or utilities, or leave in place if required.

5. Removal of trash and debris from excavation.

6. Permanent or temporary horizontal bracing is in place on horizontally supported walls.

C. Placing and compacting

1. Ground Surface Preparation: Remove vegetation, debris, unsatisfactory soil materials, obstructions, and deleterious materials from ground surface prior to placement of fills. Plow strip, or break up sloped surfaces steeper



than 1 vertical to 4 horizontal so that fill material will bond with existing surface.

2. When existing ground surface has a density less than that specified under “Compaction” for particular area classification, break up ground surface, pulverize, moisture-condition to optimum moisture content, and compact to required depth and percentage of maximum density.

3. Place backfill and fill materials in layers not more than 8 inches in loose depth for material compacted by heavy compaction equipment, and not more than 4 inches in loose depth for material compacted by hand-operated tampers.

4. Before compaction, moisten or aerate each layer as necessary to provide optimum moisture content. Compact each layer to required percentage of maximum dry density or relative dry density for each area classification. Do not place backfill or fill material on surfaces that are muddy, frozen, or contain frost or ice.

5. Place backfill and fill materials evenly adjacent to structures, piping, or conduit to required elevations. Prevent wedging action of backfill against structures or displacement of piping or conduit by carrying material uniformly around structure, piping, or conduit to approximately same elevation in each lift.

6. Control soil and fill compaction, providing minimum percentage of density specified for each area classification indicated below. Correct improperly compacted areas or lifts as directed by Geotechnical Testing Agency if soil density tests indicate inadequate compaction.

3) Under walkways, compact top 6 inches of subgrade and each layer of backfill or fill material at 95 percent maximum density.



b. Moisture Control: Where subgrade or layer of soil material must be moisture conditioned before compaction, uniformly apply water to surface of subgrade or layer of soil material. Apply water in minimum quantity as necessary to prevent free water from appearing on surface during or subsequent to compaction operations.

1) Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry, soil material that is too wet to permit compaction to specified density.

2) Stockpile or spread soil material that has been removed because it is too wet to permit compaction. Assist drying by discing, harrowing, or pulverizing until moisture content is reduced to a satisfactory value.

3) If aeration does not reduce the moisture content to an acceptable level, admixtures (lime, fly-ash, cement, or dry granular soil) will be required to modify moisture and aid in compaction. If admixtures are used, laboratory testing must be performed to determine the appropriate admixture(s) amounts, maximum dry density, and optimum moisture content.

3.06 Field Quality Control

A. Notify Geotechnical Testing Agency for inspection and approval of subgrades and fill layers before subsequent construction is permitted thereon. Allow testing service to inspect and approve each subgrade and fill layer before further backfill or construction work is performed.

1. Field density tests may also be performed by the nuclear method in accordance with ASTM D 2922, providing that calibration curves are periodically checked and adjusted to correlate to tests performed using ASTM D1556. In conjunction with each density calibration check, check the calibration curves furnished with the moisture gages in accordance with ASTM D3017.

2. If field tests are performed using nuclear methods, make calibration checks of both density and moisture gages at beginning of work, on each different type of material encountered, and at intervals as directed by the Geotechnical Testing Agency.

C. Footing Subgrade: For each strata of soil on which footings will be placed, perform at least one test to verify required design bearing capacities.



Subsequent verification and approval of each footing subgrade may be based on a visual comparison of each subgrade with related tested strata when acceptable to Engineer.

D. Paved Areas: Perform at least one field density test of subgrade for every 2,000 sq. ft. of paved area or building slab, but in no case fewer than three tests. In each compacted fill layer, perform one field density test for every 2,000 sq. ft. of overlaying building slab or paved area, but in no case fewer than three tests.

E. Foundation Wall Backfill: Perform at least one test for each 50 feet or less of wall length, but not fewer than two tests.

F. Backfill at Retaining Wall: Perform at least one test for each 50 feet or less of wall length but not fewer than two tests.

G. Trench Backfill: Perform at least one test for each 50 feet or less of trench length, but not fewer than two tests.

H. If in opinion of Geotechnical Testing Agency, based on testing service reports and inspection, subgrade or fills that have been placed are below specified density, perform additional compaction, or remove and replace compacted fill material until specified compaction is achieved.

2. This section covers the testing and disinfection of water mains. The Contractor shall prepare a schedule and procedure for the testing and disinfection, and shall submit the same to the Owner for approval two weeks in advance of the time he intends to start the testing and disinfection, and shall give the Owner 24 hour notice prior to the performance of any test on the mains. The Owner reserves the right to modify the testing and disinfection plan submitted by the Contractor based on the Owner's knowledge of the operational requirements of the water system.

B. Hydrostatic and Leakage Test

1. Where any section of water connection is protected by concrete reaction backings, the hydrostatic pressure test shall not be made until at least 7 days have elapsed after the concrete reaction backing was installed. If high early strength cement concrete is used for the reaction backing, the hydrostatic pressure test shall not be made until at least 3 days have elapsed.

2. The General Contractor shall test each section between valves that have been incorporated into the pipeline to assure that those valves are pressure tight when in a closed position. The section of water main being



tested shall be filled with water a minimum of 24 hours before the main is tested. During the filling of the pipe, extreme care must be exercised to insure that all air is expelled from the pipeline. If necessary, the General Contractor shall install taps on the main at the points of highest elevation. After completion of the test, the taps shall be tightly plugged unless otherwise noted. The taps necessary to release air or water from the main shall be made at the General Contractor's expense, unless retained by the SEPTA for other use.

3. After the pipeline has been filled with water for 24 hours, a hydrostatic or pressure test shall be conducted by the Contractor. The duration of the pressure test shall be at least one hour. Each section of the water main shall be tested under a pressure of 150 psi, measured at the low point of the particular section being tested.

4. The section of pipe line being tested shall have the specified test pressure applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a manner satisfactory to the Owner. The pump, connection tap on the main, and all necessary apparatus, except the gage, shall be furnished and installed by the Contractor. The Contractor shall have backup equipment for testing to prevent delays if the original equipment breaks down. The Contractor shall furnish the test gage.

5. All exposed pipes, joints, fittings and valves will be carefully examined during the test, and all joints showing visible leakage shall be made tight. All defective pipe, fittings, and valves shall be removed from the line and replaced by the Contractor at no expense to the Owner.

6. Where the trench has been completely backfilled, whether at the option of the Contractor or required by the Owner, and the pressure gage fails to hold the required specified pressure, the Contractor shall open up the trench at his own expense and repair any leaks.

7. The leakage test shall have a minimum duration of 2 hours, and shall be at the same pressure as specified for the hydrostatic test. The leakage test shall be conducted in the same manner as the pressure test, except that the Contractor shall provide means for measuring the leakage, satisfactory to the Owner.

8. The leakage test may be conducted at the same time as the pressure test, provided suitable means are provided to measure the leakage during the pressure test, and a record of water added to the pipeline is kept for a period of at least two hours.

9. Should any test of a section of pipeline disclose leakage greater than that permitted, or any identifiable leakage, the Contractor shall, at his own



expense, locate and repair the source of the leakage and shall retest the pipeline until the leakage is within the permitted allowance.

C. Preliminary flushing: Prior to disinfection, the sections of pipeline being disinfected shall be flushed as thoroughly as possible with the water pressure and outlets available. Flushing shall be done after the pressure and leakage tests have been completed. If necessary, the line shall be opened up to flush as in a case where no hydrants are available.

D. Chlorinating: Before being placed in service, all pipe installed under this contract shall be disinfected by chlorinating, utilizing either liquid chlorine or calcium hypochlorite.

1. Liquid Chlorine: A chlorine gas water mixture shall be applied by means of a solution feed chlorinating device in combination with a booster pump for injecting the chlorine gas water mixture into the main to be disinfected. This method shall be used only if the Contractor can demonstrate to the Owner that the person supervising the operation is thoroughly familiar with and experienced in the handling of chlorine gas and that the equipment to be used is suitable, and that proper safety equipment is available.

2. Calcium Hypochlorite Solution: A chlorine water solution of 1 percent available chlorine shall be prepared, using granular calcium hypochlorite, and this solution shall be injected or pumped into the pipeline. A chlorine water solution of 1 percent available chlorine may be prepared by mixing approximately 1 pound of calcium hypochlorite with 8.5 gallons of water.

E. Application of Chlorine: The hypochlorite solution shall be applied to the water main with a gasoline or electrically powered chemical feed pump, designed for feeding chlorine solutions. For smaller applications, the solution may be prepared in a barrel, and then pumped into the main with a hand pump, such as a hydraulic test pump. The dosage rate shall be such that the chlorine concentration in the water in the pipe is a minimum of 50 ppm available chlorine.

F. Point of Application: The point of application of the chlorinating agent shall be at the low end of the pipeline section, and through a corporation stop inserted in the top of the new pipe.

G. Rate of Application: The chlorine solution shall be pumped slowly into the new pipeline and application shall not cease until the entire main is filled with the chlorine solution. If required by the Owner, the chlorine residual shall be measured at several points along the section of main being tested.

H. Prevention of Reverse Flow: Great care shall be exercised in manipulating valves, so that the strong chlorine solution in the line being treated will not backflow into the adjoining water distribution system.



I. Retention Period and Chlorine Concentration: The chlorinated water shall be retained in the main for at least 24 hours, during which time all valves and hydrants in the section treated shall be operated, in order to disinfect the appurtenances. At the end of this 24 hour period, the treated water shall contain no less than 25 ppm chlorine throughout the length of the main. Should the initial procedure fail to result in the conditions specified, the chlorinating procedure shall be repeated until such results are obtained, at the General Contractor's expense.

J. Point of Discharge: The General Contractor shall discharge the sterilizing solution from the mains through the outlets at the end of the main. The General Contractor shall exercise all due precautions in discharging the chlorine bearing water, since it is extremely toxic, and if allowed to flow into streams, can readily destroy aquatic life. If any damage to property or fish life occurs due to the disposal of the sterilizing solution, the cost of damage shall be paid by the General Contractor.

K. Final Flushing: Following chlorinating, the heavily chlorinated water shall be thoroughly flushed from the line at its extremities until the replacement water throughout its length, upon test, be proved comparable to the quality of water in the existing distribution system.

L. Flushing Water: Water for flushing will be provided by SEPTA, but at no time shall valves on the water distribution system operated without the presence of a duly qualified representative of SEPTA.

3.3 PIPE IDENTIFICATION

A. A plastic dig-warning tape shall be buried 24 inches above the top, but no shallower than 12 inches from the top of the final grade, for the pipe’s full length. The tape shall be at least 6 inches wide. The tape shall have colored lettering or background color and worded to indicate the presence and the contents of the pipeline. Colors shall be as follows:

1. Force main: brown 2. Gravity sewer: green 3. Water: blue 4. Reclaimed water: purple

B. Install 14-gauge UF (Underground Feeder per National Electric Code Article 339) solid tracer wire and joint seal (Kearney Aquaseal, Bishop, or approved equal) along all non-metallic pipe. The wire shall be taped below the spring line of the pipe and shall be stubbed up at all valves and hydrants. At each valve the wire shall be installed along the outside of the valve box. Sections of wire shall be spliced together using a Buchanon tool or wirenut. Splicing by twisting the wire together is not acceptable. The wire shall have a plastic insulation, colored as follows:



1. Force main: brown 2. Gravity sewer: green 3. Water: blue 4. Reclaimed water: purple

C. Each segment of tracer wire shall be demonstrated to be electrically continuous between turn-ups after backfilling and before the pipe is accepted as complete.
