    HDPE pipe is easy to lay in trenches. The trench should be at least 40 cm wide and checked for proper depth and slope. A 15 cm thick sand or gravel bedding is laid, with stones smaller than 20 mm, to support the pipe without compacting. The initial backfill around the pipe is added in 10 cm layers and compacted to 90% to support and protect the pipe. A 30 cm protective fill above the pipe uses smaller stones and avoids heavy compaction directly on the pipe to prevent damage or floating. The final backfill completes filling the trench with the excavated material compacted to 80% minimum.

    HDPE PIPE LAYING


    The simplicity of laying pipes made fronr- HDPE

    1. Trench
    The trench should be nanow, but not less than 40 cm
    (16 inches) wide and should be checked for depth and slope'

    The bottom of trench must be even and stonefree.

    2. Bedding
    ln normal soil the bedding should be of sand or gravel and 15
    r'
    cm (6 inches) thick. Stones in the graUel:must not be bigger
    than 20 mm. (415 inches). It is not necessary to compact the
    bedding.

    3. Bottom supporting
    When pipe is laid clearances are allowed for sockets and

    flanges so that the pipe is supported along its whole iength.

    The bottom supporting is compacted as shown in the diagram.

    It is important that the supporting is finn and even along whole

    length of pipe, otherwse the pipe could be darnaged. lf more

    than one pipe is being iaid in the trench the initial backfill for

    the lower pipes must be compacted 6efore the next layer of


    pipes is laid.Check the pipe for slope and alignment.

    The initial backfill should be made in 10 cm (4 inches) thick

    layers using sand or gravel and compacted as illustrated in the

    diagram. lf a machine is used for compacting it should be light

    and easy to handle and care should be taken that the machine

    does not contact the top of the pipe.Compact to a 90% Proctor

    density. lt is this initial backfill that supports the pipe and

    protects if from deformation so that compacting must be carried

    out carefully by tamping on each side of the pipe altemately. lt

    is important that gravel size should.not be greater than 20 mm.


    (4/5 inches)diameter.

    .. Use the same s' described'for the initial backfill.


    ,'B-

    It is essential that thbre are no large stones in this fill as they


    can cause point stresses on the pipe and damage it. protective

    filling should be 30 cm. (t foot) thick and tamping with a heavy

    machine on top of the pipe should be avoided. lf ground water

    flows into the trench during ihis operation increase the speed of

    filling or the or the pipe wilt ftoat

    6. Final. Backfill

    complete the filling of the temch with the excavated materiar

    evenly distributing the stones through out ihe fill. compact to

    minimum of g0% Proclor density. Foilow the recommended


    building instructions. The pipelaid will need a minimum of
    maintenance.
