 Detailed shop-drawings design, supply, installation and testing of about 200 km of HDPE
pipes for a new water distribution network diameter ranging from 63mm to 450mm
including fittings, accessories, related manholes, 11 DMA’s chambers, 185 fire hydrants and
8,490 house connections in the cities of Khashuri, Osiauri and Tskhramukla.

2. PREPARATION
2.1 Site Investigation
Prior to the starting of the works, the Contractor has investigated the existing pipelines as well as
other underground facilities. The representatives of relevant departments of local utilities such as
water, gas electricity and telecommunication will be involved in investigation works. The special
attention will be paid to avoid damaging the existing fiber optic, energy, gas and other important
lines. The statement of construction method for the pipe laying work will be submitted to Police,
Road Department of the local Government and other authorities concerned prior to commencing the
work on public roads for getting their approval. Before excavation, photos of existing situations of
the coverings and surrounding structures will be taken. If there are any damages in the surrounding
areas, this will be documented and submitted for The Engineer's review.
2.2 Site Mobilization
Construction materials will be stocked in the Contractor’s warehouses. Currently Contractor holds 2
warehouses. One of them locates near the Contractor’s office area, another one locates in Surami
district. The location of water supply network construction activity is not permanent. Week by week
work will be done in different streets. Therefore, Contractor may arrange additional warehouses in
different locations to make easy the material transportation. This issue will be agreed with Engineer
and Local Authorities. Exact number of equipment and construction material will be delivered to
construction site to avoid road blockage or messy environment.

2.7 METHODOLOGY
DEEP WELL SUMP:

The dewatering pump will be placed at the location determined by the site authorities.
Dewatering will be carried out by two or any of the following methods as appropriate.

P a g e | 10

DEWATERING
The area for installing deep sump well will be marked by surveyor and the area will be checked for
existing underground utilities.
The sump well will be installed into the ground using water jet. If the strata are hard to penetrate,
then suitable bore holes will be made for installing the deep well sump.
After the hole is drilled, an Ø300mm UPVC or CHDPE perforated pipe is installed into the drilled
hole surrounded with 3/8 3/16 aggregate filter materials to prevent the fines entering the system.
The submersible pump will be installed into the perforated pipe. The pump is connected to the
electrical power generator.
The outlet of these well pumps is connected to the vertical pipes, which is connected to the suction
hose.
The suction hose transfers the water to the sand settling tank. The silts settled in the tanks will be
removed and dumped in an approved location.
The pumps will be operated until the work is completed. On completion of all dewatering activities
the bore holes will be filled with suitable approved material.
Water levels will be checked and recorded regularly to derive the drawdown.

DEWATERING
OPEN CUT SUBMERSİBLE PUMP SYSTEM:

At areas affected by low water seepage, an open cut submersible pumping system will be installed
to pump out the seeping water instead of the deep well system.
The size of the pump will depend on the amount of seepage occurring.
The pump will be placed at a low level area.
The water is pumped to the settling tank using a flat suction hose.
The water will be removed periodically from the settling tank to avoid spilling of water.
The silt will be removed and dumped at an approved location.
3. INSPECTION
Through daily schedule Engineer will be informed about Inspections. As per approved Quality
Control Plan documentations site activities will be inspected by Engineer and Contractor Quality
Control team. On the QCP documents and daily schedule the location and time of inspection will be
indicated.

and Employer. Therefore, all site activities will be inspected and required Quality Control
documents, site check sheets, approval forms will be filled and signed. All of these documents and
as-built drawings will be part of Handover documents.
