7.7 METHOD AND SEQUENCE OF CONSTRUCTION OF MECHANICAL

INSTALLATIONS.

 Any material delivered to the site not confirming to the approved material submittal

shall be returned to the supplier and replaced with approved material.
  No materials will be permitted to enter the work locations without being inspected
on arrival to the site.
  Work shall be carried out by the site personnel under strict supervision and guidance
of the concerned engineers/ supervisors/ foreman.
  QA/QC inspector/ engineer shall check all the installations as per the installation
Data sheet/Test check sheets.
 Inspection request will be prepared, signed by the subcontractor/main contractor and
shall be submitted without delay to Engineer for His inspection and approval as per
approved Inspection and test Plan.
  Site Engineer is responsible for all the installation activities for getting the work
inspected and approved by Engineer.

7.8 Installation procedure of  Pipe Work for Water Treatment Plant
7.8.1 General Requirements
 All the materials received at site will be inspected, upon receipt.
  Any discrepancies, damages, etc. should be notified and report to the supplier
for further action.
 All construction/ inspection/ testing works shall be carried out in accordance
with specifications.
 Work shall be carried out by the site foreman staff under the guidance of site
engineer and shall further be checked and approved by Engineer.
 If any damage for the material has been happened on the site, the site persons
will be responsible for the damage.

7.8.2 Handling

  During transportation pipes must be handled with care.

  Do not drop or drag pipes especially on hard surfaces. This is particularly
important where the pipe ends have been pre- prepared in the form of spigots
(e.g. chamfered ends) and integral sockets.
  Where ever possible the loading and unloading of pipes to be carried
safely. When mechanical fitting equipment is to be used, no metallic slings,
hooks or chains should be used in direct contact with the pipe. Ropes or web
slings are preferred, as they will not damage the pipe wall.

7.8.3 Installation
  Mark the routing of pipe work according to approved shop drawings.
6.2.5.1 Pipe Work (for uPVC Pipes)
  Measure length of pipe required, making due allowance for
any pipe fittings to be used. Cut the pipe to the measured
length.
 Ensure that the ends are cut square and clean all burs.
 A chamfer to the depth of half wall thickness to be applied to
each spigot.
 The spigot and socket to be jointed
should be carefully examined for any damage which could
impair the jointing procedure.
  The spigot insertion depth should be measured as
the depth form the mouth to the shoulder of the socket.
 The insertion depth should be marked on the spigot
using marker.
 The jointing system for piping system is “Solvent weld.”
 The mating areas of the spigot and the socket should
be thoroughly cleaned using the pipe cleaner and a clean rag.
 Using a brush apply an even layer solvent cement to the
spigot and socket mating surfaces. The glue should be applied
in a lengthwise direction and not with a circular motion.
 The glue should be applied simultaneously to the spigot and
socket by two people.
 Immediately following gluing application ensure that the pipe is
suitably anchored, and push the spigot home in the socket
without turning the pipe.
 The spigot should be inserted with a steady, continuous
motion and held in place for 20 seconds.
 Remove the surplus glue from around the mouth of the socket.
 Leave the joint undisturbed for five minutes, and then handle
with reasonable care.
6.2.5.2 Pipe Supports 
 For the pipes above ground supports will be given of ring type 
pipeclamps with rubber packing and for pipes at more height
will be given standard galvanized channel support with pipe
clamps.
6.3 Installation for Pressure Testing
6.3.1 Procedures for Installation
 Check first the approve drawing submitted for the location and marking of
the pipes.
 Prepare the necessary materials for installation
  Start layout of the pipe as per coordinated marking and levels.
  After the layout make a support for all the pipes using thrust block, rubber
clamp and steel bar.
  Prepare the materials for the pressure testing such as plugs, pressure
pump, pressure gauges and other equipment / tools required.
 Clean the edge of the pipe and put plug on locations where valves are not
required.
 After putting plug, install the pressure pump with threaded nipples, connect
to the valve for the purpose of bleeding to the part you can remove the air
inside the pipelines then connect a G.I Tee to interlink between the
calibrated pressure and the pipe to be tested.
 Fill entire system with water through any water supply faucet by meansof
pail and put it on the pressure hand pump.
 Check for any leak in the connection /layout. If so, modify/ rectify first before
applying the pressure.
 The working pressure of the pipe is 4 bars; however, for testing Pressure
the lines until it reaches the test pressure of 6 bars which is1.5 times of the
working load.
 Check the points / connections again for leakage. If there is no leak close
the valve and remove the pressure hand pump.
 Maintain pressure in the pipe line for at least 4 hours.
 Prepare the necessary documents such as drawings, pressure test
certificate indicating the start and end, together with the pressure rated and
losses and get signature from Consultant
 After checking the bar rating passed, remove the pressure of the pipes up to
1 bar by experience person.
 After remove the end plugs and valves.
  Remove the water and flushed the lines.
 Close all the end points using masking tapes.

suction and delivery lines as per the approved drawings.
6.4.3 Route and level shall be as per the approved drawing and clearance to
be maintained as required.
6.4.4 After installation of equipment’s & piping’s in pump room are completed
and raise stage by stage WIR for getting approval from the Engineer.
 6.4.5 Installation of cable tray and trunking shall be carried out as per
specification and approved shop drawing.

6.7 Flocculation,

4.1.3 Flocculation

Flocculation shall mean a process to enhance agglomeration or collection of smaller floc

particles into larger, more easily settleable or filterable particles through gentle stirring by
hydraulic or mechanical means.

a. Basin Design - Inlet and outlet design shall minimize short-circuiting and destruction of
floc.

Series compartments are recommended to further minimize short-circuiting and to

provide decreasing mixing energy with time. Basins shall be designed so that
individual basins may be isolated without disrupting plant operation. A drain and/or
pumps shall be provided to handle dewatering and sludge removal.

b. Detention – The detention time for floc formation should be at least 30 minutes
with consideration to using tapered (i.e., diminishing velocity gradient)
flocculation. The flow-through velocity should be not less than 0.5 nor greater
than 1.5 feet per minute.

c. Equipment - Agitators shall be driven by variable speed drives with the peripheral
speed of paddles ranging from 0.5 to 3.0 feet per second. External, non-
submerged motors are preferred.

d. Piping - Flocculation and sedimentation basins shall be as close together as possible.

The velocity of flocculated water through pipes or conduits to settling basins shall be
not less than
 0.5 nor greater than 1.5 feet per second. Allowances must be made to minimize
turbulence

at bends and changes in direction.

e. Other designs - Baffling may be used to provide for flocculation in small plants only
after consultation with the reviewing authority. The design should be such that the
velocities and flows noted above will be maintained.
