Brief Description of Work:

This Method of statements describes theinstallation procedures for the Installation
& testing of HDPE.

2- Sequence of Tasks: (attached additional sheets if required)

• Preparation of welding: before you start the operation, it is important to prepare the work area.
• Select the operation area that is suitable for the work.
• Install the protection tent or other equipment to protect the welding zone against rain, sunshine or
bad weather (if required)
• Set up the welding machine with all the accessories according to the welding pipe size. Check if the
1. machine is functioning.
• All of the problems or missing parts must be fixed prior to the start of the welding operation.
• Welding machine must be calibrated before using
• Pipes to be cut with Over length for shaving and heat fusion
• Using suitable equipment for loading and downloading pipes, shaving tool& Heating plate such as (forklift,
boom truck& Mobile Crane)

2. • Insert two pipes ends on both side of the machine clamps, protrude approx. 3-5 cm. from each shell

side, clamping and adjust the pipe or piping part, the surfaces to be welded should be parallel to
each other.
• Adjust the alignment of pipeline by tightening or los ing bronze nuts on th e to p aluminum clamp s.
• Secure longitudinal movement of theparts to be welded by taking appropriate measures.
• Clean outside and inside pipesurface.

• Insert theshaving toolor trimmer between thetwo pipe

ends into.

• Start the shaving tool or trimmer by turning

on the control switch.
• Slowly approach the pipe ends towards the shaving
4. tool or trimmer by controlling the direction
alvalveon hydraulic control unit while keeping
control pressure a little higher.
• The cutter will cut the surface of both pipe ends making them clean, plane and parallel.

• When the pipe ends had been trimmed squarely and with an even thickness, slowly decrease the

• pressure before switching off.

• Remove the shaving tool or trimmer from welding machine to the support frame and clear the
5. facing
• scraps from pipe ends.

• Inspect the ends, they must be clean and plane; otherwise repeat the step 3 – 5 again.

• During the clearing and inspection, avoid any contact with the surface of pipe ends.

• Recheck the alignment of the pipeline by bringing the pipe ends closely together and measure the actual
6. tolerance.

• Bring the pipe ends apart, to clean both pipe ends using coat with suitable cleaning agent and
7. avoided any contact to the surface after cleaning.
• Repeat the cleaning process, if necessary.

• Open both pipe ends, carefully remove the heating plate without touching the melted area and see to it
8. that
• the removing time should not be longer than permissible time, insert heating plate to the support.

• Immediately increase pressure up to the joining pressure level within the joining pressure built-up time
9. • Uniform beads must be created throughout the whole circumference of the pipe joints.
• Maintain or Keep the joining pressure constant throughout the cooling time or until the welding joint
cools down. Avoid forced cooling down by applying water.

11. Remove the clamps after thecooling stage is complete.

• Welding bead of each jointing has to be visually inspected and measured based on the following:
• Both ends should be almost equal ing dimension thebead
surface should be smooth ene d not shine.
10. • Bead width must be according to the limit dimension

• Possible differences in the formation of the beads may be justified by different behavior of the joined
materials.

Pipe laying:
• Installation Guidelines for PE Pipe.
• The engineer must evaluate the site conditions, the subsurface conditions, and the application objectives to
determine the extent of support the pipe may need from the surrounding soil. Where the pipe burial depth
is relatively deep, where subsurface soil conditions are not supportive of pipe, where surface loads or live
loads are present, or where the pipe DR is high, the engineer will generally prepare a specific installation
• specification.

Trench Length
• The length of o pen trench required for fused pip e sections should be such that bending and lowering
the pipe into the ditch does not exceed the manufacturer’s minimum recommended bend radius and
result in kinking.
12. Trench Width
• The trench width should allow sufficient room for joining the pipe, if required, snaking small diameter
from side to side along the bottom of trench.
Trench Construction
Principal considerations in trench construction are trench width, length, and depth; soil stability; and
groundwater accumulation in the trench. Unstable soils or wet conditions should be controlled byslopingor
bracing thetrenchwalls, de-watering the trench bottom, and/or other measures.
Placing Pipe in Trench
Place HDPE pipe up to 1600 mm diameter in the trench Using equipment to lift, move, and lower
larger diameter pipe into thetrench. Pipe mustnotbe dumped, dropped, pushed, or rolled into the trench.
Backfilling
Backfill the pipes with recommended soiland compaction to be done with suitable equipment

Hydro static Test

Why wo do H.T
To uncover any faults in the pipeline joints - for example, electrofusion, butt fusion or mechanical joints. To

13. reveal any faults in the assembly of fittings, including valves, hydrants, bends, tees, branch saddles, and

flanges. To check that the pipeline will handle pressure greater than its design pressure without leaks.

A fully fused pipe string for installation by a trenchless method such as Horizontal
Directional Drilling, may have a pre- commissioning test, above ground.
Generally, check that the complete pipeline has no leaks and is ‘good to go” into service.
Pre-commissioning testing is not intended to supplement or replace the test requirements of the pipeline product

Standards.
What you need to know
You’ll need to choose an appropriate Test Method, with consideration for:
(a) Pipe diameter, PN class and length to be tested. (b) Length of time for the pressure test itself.
(c) Magnitude of the test pressure and rate of pressurization.
(d) Removing all air from the pipeline during filling with water
(e) Prevent movement of thrust restraints, and have in place all permanent or temporary anchor block supports.
Be sure your test gauges are accurate.
TEST EQU IPMENT
• Test Manifold & the Pump.

PR E ‐TEST PROCEDURES

Before you begin testing...

• Be sure that all Anchor blocks are installed
• Install blank temporary end

When the pipe is pressurized, visually inspect all the exposed joints to be sure they have no leaks. Avoid
testing against any closed isolation valves as these can leak slightly and upset the test.

• Leave all bolted or flanged joints exposed, to allow for re-tensioning during or after testing.
Leave all fusion joints, service connections and valves exposed, wherever possible to check for leaks.

Filling the pipe…

• Always, slowly fill the pipeline with water from the lowest point – this will allow for air to migrate to the high
point and allow it to bleed off through an air valve, hydrant or service connection located at a high point.
14. • Be sure to remove all air out of the line during filling, and before you apply the test pressure. Air trapped in the
line, can make the test appear like you have a leak, (when there actually is no physical leak) and give a false
result.
• The availability of water for testing is important….
• you’ll need a clean acceptable supply and don’t forget you’ll need an approved location to discharge it after the
test.
• As the pipe slowly fills with water, allow a stabilization time-period for the air to escape and water temperature
in the pipe to stabilize. The length of the stabilization time period will depend on the pipe diameter, and ground
gradients or profile - overnight is preferred but should be at least 3 hours. Any trapped air must be bled off
before you start your pressure test.
