TRENCH EXCAVATION
Obtain work permit before starting excavation work. Marking is to be made Excavate trench up to required level with free working The side slopes of cutting shall generally have the following slopes for stability. slope 1:1 1:2 for excavation in clay, muram & boulders etc hard muram
Pipes shall be transported to the site of laying and stacked along the route Padding shall be placed between coated pipes and timber to avoid damage to the coating Suitable gap during pipe stacking should be left at proper intervals to permit access from one side to the other
Unloading & stocking of material : Each pipe & special should be properly stacked at site in such a manner so as not to distort their circularity or cause any damage to their outer coating.
PIPE HANDLING
manual pipe handling : B f Before h dli the handling th pipe, i work men should wear helmet and gloves 1. Ropes p used to lift the material must be in g good condition, , and it should not be let over sharp edges Ensure that the persons are moved away from the pit while placing the pipe (if it is heavy) while handling materials in the wet season, ensure that the materials are free from slush as it may cause slipping.
2.
3.
Pipe handling by machinery Slings should be in good condition and free from defects, Ensure proper clamping of slings, these are provided on same direction on free length g Ensure p proper p visibility y for the crane.
Pipes should be lowered slowly in to the trench by means of chain p pulley y block and tripod p stand or cranes or with the help of ropes. Rubber gaskets shall be inserted into the groove in the socket. Spigot end shall be lubricated with good quality of grease or oil, then the spigot shall be slipped into socket by means of jack on the other end. end p g ends of all p pipes p shall face up p stream irrespective p of Spigot the direction of water flow.
Lowering and laying : Pipe Pi shall h ll be b laid l id in i dry d condition diti and d under d no circumstances i t they shall rest on sludgy bedding. Pipes shall rest continuously on the bottom of the trench.
