 1. Introduction

The objective of this method statement is to establish the necessary guidelines for the
installation of Sewage Network in accordance with the contract requirements.
This Method Statements aims to ensure that work quality assurance and quality control
activities are conducted in a systematic manner, works are inspected and conformance
is verified and documented.
2. Purpose:

This is to define the installation and testing of underground sewer pipelines.

This method statement is applicable to the installation and testing of underground sewer

 7 Lower bedding must be finished with fine clean sand per project
specification and leveling should be assured.
8 Pipe laying and jointing (push fit).
 The spigot and the socket to be joined should be carefully examined
for any damage and the surface of the pipe must be clan.
 Putting the gasket in the proper place at the socket of the pipe.
 Putting the mineral grease according to specification on the spigot of the
pipe and in the socket of the other pipe till the region of fit.

9 While pipes installation in the excavated area, the slope must be kept according
to the shop drawing.
10 The drainage system will be tested before backfilling with water test or air test
as below.

INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE PK#1
  Water Test.
A test pressure of 12 kPa head of water above the crown of the pipe at the high end but not
more than 60 kPa head at the low end by means of a standpipe. A period of one hour be
allowed for absorption. The loss of water over a period of 30 minutes shall be measured
by adding water from a measuring vessel at regular intervals of 10 minutes and logging
the quantity of water required to maintain the original level in the standpipe. The
quantity of water added for sewers up to 300 mm nominal bore shall not exceed 0.06
1/h per 100 meter per millimeter of nominal diameter. For sewers exceeding 300 mm
nominal diameter, the quantity of water added shall not exceed 0.12 1/h per 100 meter
per millimeter of nominal diameter.

 Air test.
The length of sewer under test shall be tightly plugged and air pumped in until a pressure of
100 mm water column is indicated in a U-tube connected to the system. At this
pressure, all pipes shall be checked with soap solution to detect any leakage. If any leaks
are found the air pressure shall be released and the leaks eliminated, the testing
procedures shall then be repeated again from the beginning until no leaks occur. The air
pressure shall then be increased until a pressure of 100 mm water column is achieved.
After allowing time for stabilization the air pressure shall not fall to less than 75 mm
water column during a period of 5 minutes without pumping.
11- Backfilling of clean sand above the sewage pipeline as per project specification.
12- Install the catch basin pipeline with all accessories.
13-Putting the marker tape on the compaction backfilling sand.
14-Backfilling using suitable selected excavated material or any suitable material

INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE PK#1
 15-Disposing of surplus excavated material and unsuitable excavated material off
the project.
16- Testing the pipeline after backfilling with infiltration test as below.
Infiltration tests shall be carried out after backfilling. All inlets to the system shall be
tightly closed and the residual flow shall be deemed to be infiltration. The following
1imits.of infiltration shall not be exceeded:
 Up to 750 mm nominal diameter - 0.08 liter per 100 meter per millimeter
of nominal diameter per hour.
 b. Over 750 mm nominal diameter- 0.16 liter per 100 meter per millimeter
of nominal diameter per hour.
