1.0 PURPOSE

The Method statement describes the procedure of installation the Plumbing

& Sanitary system associated with installation of internal and external
pipes to ensure compliance with project specification.
 SHUQAIQ III IWP

SHUQAIQ III INDEPENDENT WATER PROJECT

2.0 Scope of Works

This procedure establishes the instructions for the preparation and control of Inspection and
Test Plan (ITP) for plumbing & Sanitary work activities and notification to Acciona Agua
management for their selected inspection point in a timely manner. The method statements
applied to the installation of water supply and drainage for Shuqaiq III IWP.

3.0 SUBMITTALS

A. Product Data: Submit manufacture’s product data, including test reports for each type of
cPVC accessories and other manufactured products, as well as certifications of compliance
with the specified requirements for each type. B. Submit cPVC samples
showing color and texture for engineer selection and approval.

4.0 Materials

A ‘Material Proposals’ schedule shall be submitted to the Acciona Agua

giving details of materials, manufacturer’s name, technical details etc.

Schedule” will be submitted. Total care shall be taken to ensure that the materials that finally
arrive at site and meet all requirements of SHUQAIQ III IWP.

5.0 WORKMANSHIP

Adequate workforce shall be deployed at all times to meet the approved

Construction schedule. The workforce shall be suitably augmented as

demanded by actual site conditions.

6.0 Standards

All work shall be performed accordance with this method statement and the following
standard, codes, and references.

ASTM D1784 or ASTM D 2729 standard specification for unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride
(cPVC) pipe,

ASTM F 439 standard specification for cPVC pipe and fitting,

 SHUQAIQ III IWP

SHUQAIQ III INDEPENDENT WATER PROJECT

ASTM D 1784/ASME B16.5 standard specification for cPVC flange.

No permanent works will commence until such approval has been given.

7.0 Project Management

Site staff will be organized as per an ‘Organization Chart’ issued at the

Beginning of the Project. Any revisions to the site organization will be duly

recorded and intimated to the Project Managers.

Weekly site meetings shall be attended by a senior member of the

contractor’s team. There should be periodic visits by the Executive

Management.

Any deviation from approved working drawings made by site instructions by

the Almourjan shall be indicated in the ‘As Installed’ drawings to be

issued at the end of the project. These instructions will have to be formally

confirmed before the required changes or deviations are implemented.

The site engineers shall co-ordinate with other Departments handling other services

such as electrical, HVAC, Interiors etc as and when required.

A strict quality control program should be implemented and all efforts

must be made to achieve and maintain a high degree of workmanship.

8.0 Pipes in wall chases

8.1 Make sure that walls are at least rough-plastered and finish levels are

marked by the civil contractor. If proper final levels are not marked, the
 SHUQAIQ III IWP

SHUQAIQ III INDEPENDENT WATER PROJECT

pipes could be too deep or too shallow inside. Pipes deep in the wall will

require use of extension nipples at faucets. Wall flanges of concealed stop

cocks, concealed shower mixer etc will not fit-in correctly.

8.2 Mark pipe lines on walls as shown on the working drawing.

8.3 Chase the walls to required depth using a chasing machine.

8.4 Assemble piping starting from branch left in shaft and install in the wall

chase with clamps. Use pre-fabricated assemblies wherever possible.

8.5 Locate fixture outlets according to working drawing and tile-module

drawings. Title modules shall be marked on walls by the contractor.

8.6 Plug all openings and test the pipe work for leaks under specified pressure

and for required duration. Test should be witnessed and approved by

authorized personnel.

8.7 Insulate hot water pipes with the specified material.

8.8 Close the wall chases with cement mortar. If site conditions require a depth

of more than 40mm to be chased, it is advisable to use a suitable mesh

while plastering and ‘making good’.

9.0 Pipes in sunken floor or suspended in ceiling (Drainage)

9.1 Make sure that base water-proofing of toilet floors is completed.

9.2 Locate and mark positions of soil and waste outlets. Make core drills where

necessary.

9.3 Assemble pipe headers and connect them to branches left in the shaft for
 SHUQAIQ III IWP

SHUQAIQ III INDEPENDENT WATER PROJECT

this purpose. Pre-fabricate wherever possible.

9.4 Make sure that pipes are in proper slope and are supported adequately.

Always ensure that the spacing of supports is as per specifications. Ensure

that floor traps are installed in level (not tilted) so that the water seal is not

diminished.

9.5 Test the pipes and attend to leaks, if any.

9.6 Supervise the filling of sunken floors by civil team so that the

alignment and slope of drainage pipes are not disturbed.

9.7 Keep all open ends plugged to prevent ingress of construction debris.

10 Sanitary fixtures & CP fittings

All installation works shall be as shown on the drawings and shall conform to the applicable
ASTM standards.

All fixtures shall be fastened and/or supported in accordance with the given requirements.

Flush the installed pipe work (water supply and drainage) to remove debris or

blockages, if any.

Check CP fittings for leaks and firmness. Refit them if necessary. Ensure

that proper tools are used. They must not make scratches or any other kind

of damages on the chrome plated fixtures.

11 Disinfection

The water distribution system should be thoroughly disinfected before being

put to use. The following simple procedures will ensure satisfactory results:

Flush and clean water tank(s) and distribution pipe work with potable

water to remove dirt and any foreign matter.

 SHUQAIQ III IWP

SHUQAIQ III INDEPENDENT WATER PROJECT

Fill the tank(s) with water mixed with chlorine solution at the rate of 50

parts per million. Retain chlorinated water in the system allowing the

chlorine to spread throughout pipe work.

Open the farthest draw-off points or drain plug/valve to draw water.

Repeat the procedure till odor of chlorine is felt at all locations when

Checked at random.

Drain out chlorinated water and fill the system with potable water.

12.0 QUALITY CONTROL
