18.14 Handling, Transportation Storage and Lowering of pipes


During handling, transportation, storage and lowering, all sections shall be
handled by such means and in such a manner that no distortion or damage is
done to the section or to the pipes as a whole.
The following procedures should be followed so as to eliminate potential damage
to pipes and fittings and to maintain maximum safety during unloading, lifting and
lowering.

Pipes must not be stored or transported where they are exposed to heat
sources likely to exceed 60oC.
Pipes shall be stored such that they are not in contact with direct sunlight,
lubricating or hydraulic oils, petrol, solvents and other aggressive materials.
Scores or scratches to a depth of greater than 10% or more of wall thickness
are not permissible; any pipes having such defects should be strictly rejected.
PE pipes should not be subjected to rough handling during loading and
unloading operations. Rollers shall be used to move, drag the pipes across any
surface.
Only polyester webbing slings should be used to lift heavy PE (>315mm) pipes
by crane. Under no circumstances, chains, wire ropes and hooks are used on
PE pipes.
Pipes shall not be dropped to avoid impact or bump. If any time during handling
or during installation, any damage, such as gouge, crack or fracture occurs, the
pipe shall be repaired if so permitted by the competent authority before
installation.
During coiling care should be taken to maintain the coil diameter at or above the
specified minimum to prevent kinks. Coiling shall be done when the pipe attains
the ambient temperature from the extruder. In uncoiling or recoiling care should
be taken that sharp objects do not scour the pipe.
When releasing coils, it must be remembered that the coil is under tension and
must be released in a controlled manner. The end of the coil should be retained
at all times, then the straps released steadily, one at a time. If the coil has bands
at different layers of the coil, then they should be released sequentially starting
from the outer layers. The amount of the energy locked up in the coil will depend
on the size of the pipe, the SDR of the pipe, and the size of the coil.
Straight lengths should be stored on horizontal racks giving continuous support
to prevent the pipe taking on a permanent set
Bare coils shall be wrapped with hessian cloth for long distance (> 300Kms)
transportation. The truck used for transportation of the PE pipes shall be
exclusively used of PE pipes only with no other material loaded especially no
metallic, glass and wooden items. The truck shall not have sharp edges that can
damage the Pipe.
Pipes manufactured at factory are to be carried to the site of work directly or
stacked suitably and neatly along the alignment/road side/elsewhere near by the
work site or as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge.
Damages during transit, handling, storage will be to the Contractors account
and replacement for such pipes has to be made by the Contractor without any
extra cost as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge.

18.15 Lowering, Laying of Pipes


Each pipe shall be thoroughly checked for any damages before laying and only
the pipes which are approved by the Engineer-in-Charge shall be laid.
While installing the pipes in trenches, the bed of the trench should be level and
free from sharp edged stones. In most cases, the bedding is not required, as
long as the sharp and protruding stones are removed, by sieving the dug earth,
before using the same a backfill material. While laying in rocky areas suitable
bed of sand or gravel should be provided. The fill to about 10 to 15 cm above
the pipe should be fine sand or screened excavated material. Where hard rock
is met with, bed concrete M15, 15 cm or 20cm thick sand bed as approved by
the Engineer-in-Charge may be provided

As PE pipes are flexible, long lengths of fusion-jointed pipes having joints made
above ground can be rolled or snaked into narrow trenches. Such trenches can
be excavated by narrow buckets.

During the pipe laying of continuous fusion jointed systems, due care and
allowance should be made for the movements likely to occur due to the thermal
expansion/contraction of the material. This effect is most pronounced at end
connections to fixed positions (such as valves etc) and at branch connections.
Care should be taken in fixing by finishing the connections at a time the length
of the pipe is minimal (lower temperature times of the day.)

For summer time installations with two fixed connection points, a slightly longer
length of PE pipe may be required to compensate for contraction of the pipe in
the cooler trench bottom.

The final tie-in connections should be deferred until the thermal stability of the
pipeline is achieved.

The flexibility of polyethylene pipes allows the pipe to be cold bend. The fusion
jointed PE pipe is also flexible as the plain Pipe. Thus the total system enables
directional changes within the trench without recourse to the provision of special
bends or anchor blocks. However, the pipe should not be cold bend to a radius
less than 25 times the OD of the pipe.

The Installation of flanged fittings such as connections to sluice/air/gate valves


and hydrant tees etc., requires the use of stub ends (collars/flange adaptors
complete with backing rings and gaskets. Care should be taken when tightening
these flanges to provide even and balance torque.

Provision should be made at all heavy fittings installation points for supports
(such as anchoring of the flange in the soil) for the flange joint to avoid the
transfer of valve wheel turning torque on to the PE flange joint.

PE pipe is lighter than water. Hence care should be taken for normal
installations where there could be a possibility of flooding of the trench thus the
trench shall be kept free of water till the jointing has been properly done

WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT

Page 81

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Bansujara Major Irrigation Project

When flooded, some soils may lose cohesiveness, which may allow the PE pipe
to float out of the ground. Several design checks are necessary to see if
groundwater flotation may be a concern. Obviously, if the pipeline typically runs
full or nearly full of liquid, or if groundwater is always below the pipe, flotation
may not be a significant concern.

However, weights by way of concrete blocks (anchors) are to be provided so


that the PE pipe does not float when suddenly the trench is flooded and the soil
surrounding the pipe is washed away. Thus site conditions study is necessary to
ensure the avoidance of flotation.

Pipe embedment backfill shall be stone-free excavated material placed and


compacted to the 95% maximum dry density.

18.16 Jointing of Pipes


The pipe shall have Electro-fusion jointing system that shall provide for fluid
tightness for the intended service conditions.
18.17 Bedding, Backfilling and Compaction
18.17.1 Bedding
In case of sandy strata no separate bedding is required. However the bottom
face / trench bed where pipe shall be placed shall be compacted to provide a
minimum compaction corresponding to 95% of maximum dry density. The pipe
bedding should be placed so as to give complete contact between the bottom of
the trench and the pipe. The minimum cover over buried pipe should be 1 m.
18.17.2 Back Filling
Backfilling should be placed in layers not exceeding 15cm thickness per layer,
and should be compacted to a minimum of 95% maximum dry density. The
refilling should be done on both sides of pipe together & height difference in
earth fill on each side should not be more to cause lateral movement of pipe.
Most coarse grained soil is acceptable. This may comprise of gravel or sand.
However silty sand, clayey sand, silty and clayey gravel shall not be used unless
proposed to be used in conjunction with gravel or clean sand.
It is very important that the pipe zone backfill material does not wash away or
migrate in to the native soil. Likewise, potential migration of the native soil in to
the pipe zone backfill must also be prevented.
Heavy earth moving equipment used for backfilling should not be brought until
the minimum cover over the pipe is 90 cm in the case of wide tracked bulldozers
or 120 cm in the case of wheeled roaders or roller compactors.
18.17.3 Compaction
Vibratory methods should be used for compaction. Compaction within distances
of 15 cm to 45 cm from the pipe should be usually done with hand tempers. The
backfill material should be compacted not less than 95% of maximum dry
density.
18.18 Thrust Block
RCC thrust block should be suitably designed & provided at bends and at places
of reduction in cross section to take care of trust

1.3. Kinetic Air valves
1.3.1. General
Kinetic air valves are required with pressure rating appropriate for the working
conditions and approved by the Employer, confirming to IS: 14845.
1.3.2. Scope and general design features
The air valves shall be capable of exhausting air from pipeline automatically when being
filled. Air shall be released at sufficiently higher rate so that there shall be no restriction
for the inflow rate. Similarly, the valves shall be capable of ventilating pipeline
automatically when being emptied. The air inflow rate should be sufficiently high to
avoid development of vacuum in the pipeline.
The design shall be such that, higher the rate of flow the greater the resultant down
thrust, keeping the ball 'glued' to its seat until the last drop of air is expelled from the
pipe system.
Each air valve shall be provided with an isolating sluice valve with flanged end
connection. The possible air velocity (inflow and outflow) must be at least 10 m/s.
1.3.3. Construction features
The flow of air should be as unobstructed as possible. The low pressure orifice shall be
in the same axis as the main discharge / incoming air flow and must have a diameter
sufficiently large. The valve body shall be designed in such a way that the turbulent air
at the time of filling of pipeline shall not circulate and cause the ball to be caught in the
discharging air stream and blowing the valve shut permanently. The cone angle of the
low pressure (large orifice) chamber shall be such that even at a critical velocity of air
escaping at 344 m / sec the total impact force on the vulcanite covered ball is less than
the suction force on the annular area between the ball and cone. The annulus around
the low pressure vulcanite covered ball is to be generously proportioned for discharge of
air under various differential pressures. Normal range of cone angle is 450 to 600.
The orifice shall be carefully profiled to allow the requisite flow of air under varying
differential pressures. It shall be in molded synthetic rubber such that even after
extended contact the, vulcanite covered ball does not stick to it, when the line pressure
becomes zero.

1.5

Anti Vacuum Valve:

1.5.1 Scope:
The Anti vacuum valve will be installed to prevent the formation of vacuum in large
diameter (having of 1000 mm. and above) water mains to prevent line collapse under
such conditions of flow as may result, for example, from too rapid a closure of an
upstream head gate or shut down valve, a down stream burst or ordinary emptying or
recharging of a pipeline.
1.5.2 Design features:
Design of the anti vacuum valve shall automatically allow induction of large volumes of
air to prevent vacuum formation; and also provide an automatic means of ventilating a
line when it is being emptied of water, and of exhausting air when it is being recharged.
It should be suitable to react automatically, sensitively, and positively even after long
periods of inactivity, to changes of pressure within a pipe, and whenever necessary,
permit air to flow in at a sufficiently high velocity, and at low enough induction pressure, to
safeguard the line against collapse.
Cowled Inlet Type of the anti - vacuum valve should have an annular cowl shrouding the
orifice, providing protection to the orifice and the seating. It should be suitable for air to
flow through the ports provided around the periphery of the body assembly. Such
WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT

application is confined to situations where no damage is likely to occur surrounding


structures from sudden intakes of air.
1.5.3

Operation :
About Operation, the valve element should be in the form of the disk which is sensitively
balanced by a counterpoising mechanism. The disk guide pin should be attached to a
crosshead, to which is fitted at either end a cranked lever that should rock about an
intermediate pivot pin and should be applicable to carry an adjustable counterweight on
its outer arm. The parts should so arranged that by adjusting the position of the
counterweights, the valve must be balanced at any desired points on its working travel.
Thus, when swinging freely the valve may be balanced at a partially opened position in
which case, if it is closed by hand, it self-opens to the pre determined point of equilibrium,
and vice- versa. Also attached to the crosshead should be an oil dashpot which should
give free opening, in a downward direction, but offer resistance to closing, in an upward
direction, and avoid all possibility of oscillation of the suspended.
In action, therefore, the valve should not remain at either extremity of its travel unless it is
acted upon by some external force. During normal operation, the disk should be held
shut by the water pressure in the pipe. If the pressure on the underside of the disk falls
below that of the atmosphere, the valve should immediately open to admit air and break
vacuum. With very small vacuum, say 1 inch of mercury or about psi below
atmosphere, should open fully and offer a wide passage for free flow of air. On the
cessation of air inflow, the valve must return to a position of slightly open, which is
sufficient for the escape of air during refilling of the line. When the rising water makes
contact with the underside of the disk, closure is completed: only a very small water
pressure should be required to close the valve, consequently, the quantity of water overflowing through the orifice during final closure will be negligible.

1.5.4 Manufacturers Test certificate


The manufacturer shall provide a test certificate confirming that all the Anti vacuum
valves have been tested in accordance with the relevant standards and performance of
the test results observed.
1.5.5

Inspection
The inspection and testing of the sample Anti vacuum valves shall be carried out by the

issue of the test certificate by the inspecting agency for satisfactory performance of the
tested valves. The inspection charges for such tests shall be paid by the contractor to
the inspecting agency.

1.5.6

Marking
Each valve shall be permanently marked with a plate securely fixed to the body with the
information as specified under relevant standards.
The design, construction material, manufacture, inspection, performance and testing
