or dropped to the ground nor set on sharp objects. 3.2 3.3 Storage surface shall be as level and as firm as possible and clear of rocks and solid objects that might damage the pipes. GRE pipes and fittings may be stored outside providing that; - Storage areas, perfectly flat. - Storage is not done on hard soil Adequate support shall be set using wooden beams of proper size and length. - Pipe are supported in a way that prevent any distortion of the pipes. Intervals shall not exceed 3mt and minimum of 1.5 mt. 3.4 Pipes shall be stored in separate stock piles with limited height of 2-3mt according to there class and nominal diameter but not more than 3 pipes high. Wooden wedges to avoid sliding of whole pipe stock shall be placed on both sides of first layer in the stock on the timber bearer. Pipes of larger than 1400 mm dia shall not be stocked. 3.5 3.8 3.9 The protective end covering shall be left in place until the time of installation. Small diameter pipes not exceeding 60 kg, shall be unloaded and handled by hand. Mechanical unloading and handling shall be adopted for pipes heavier than 60kg. Nylon or canvas slings shall be used for the purpose and pipe shall be balanced while lifting. (No steel cables or chains shall be used). 4. Installation : 4.1 As soon as excavation trench is dry and ready for handling the pipe line, pipe lowering activity shall start, and jointing shall be made inside the trench. naked flames or sources of heat

Pipe and pipe components shall either be lowered manually or mechanically depending upon pipes weight. Pipes weighing up to 175 kg may be lowered manually by means of two nylon or canvas slings. While mechanical lowering shall be used for larger diameter pipes. 4.2 Before lowering the pipes into the trench, the top 2-3 cm of compacted bedding shall be lightly racked and small "bell" holes shall be dug under each joint location such that the pipes does not rest on the joints. In other words the bedding material shall provide continues support over the entire length of the pipe excluding the joints locations. 4.3 4.4 Before jointing, the tapered socket and tapered spigot end shall be thoroughly cleaned. Assembly of tapered socket and tapered spigot ends may be made by hand, however for pipes of diameters > 150 DN a come - along type puller shall be used. The come - along type puller shall be done as following; Two nylon slings or ropes shall be tied around both the bell section and the spigot end to be installed. leave the slings slightly loose. Slings on either sides of the pipe shall be connected with jack pullers. The slack on both sides shall then be taken up after placing the adhesive bonds material ) and continue jacking the spigot end into the bell until the end of the bell edge reaches the insertion limit marked on the spigot end. 4.5 For large diameter pipe ND> 1000 and as an alternative to come - along jack, the bucket of the backhoe may be used to push the pipe into the previously
