 Prior to full welding of pipes, QC inspector shall conduct inspection to
document work compliance. Following are items to be verified:
o Bevel angle, root opening, and tack weld shall be in accordance with
the approved Welding Procedure Specification and ASME B31.3 Sec.
328.4.2 & 328.4.3.

 The same methodology shall be applied for the erection/ installation of
the next succeeding pipe spool to the lower level until the last pipe
spool is fully installed to complete the piping systems.
 Ensure that line is blinded as per the marked P&ID by PRC operation
for the Tie-in activity.
 Ensure that the line is purged and gas detection is done before cold
cutting.
 Ensure that there is no any gas is coming from the line before welding.
If required use mechanical plugs.
PIPING RTR
 Excavate trenches to ensure that sides will be stable under all
working conditions. Slope trench walls or provide supports in
conformance with safety standards.
 The trench width must be maintained within certain limits. A very
wide trench will increase the volume of backfilling material
required and compaction labor and effort. The minimum trench
width(W) at the bottom of the trench for a single pipe shall be:
W=1.25XOD+300mm Note: - Project specific AWWA-M45
calculation shall be referred for each project.
 Manual lowering of small diameter pipes into the trench can be
executed by at least two men. It is recommended that the weight
carried by one man do not exceed 20 kg. Pipes weighing up to 120
kg can be lowered by means of two ropes. The ropes must be
anchored to stakes.
 Mechanical Crane lowering is used for larger diameter pipes,
especially when combined with pipe assembly in the trench.
 Road crossings require special attention and requirements.
Precautions shall be taken to protect the pipes, which cross
underneath roads against the possible consequences of traffic
loads. The influence of the wheel load of traffic passing a buried
pipe reduces with increased burial depth.
 Minimum cover depth can be reduced with special installation
such as:
 Sleeve pipe.
 Concrete Protection Slabs.
 Concrete encasement of the pipe
 The Geotextile Filter Fabric shall consist of thermal bonded/needle
punched synthetic polymer fibers. Composed of at least 85 percent
by mass polyolefins, polyesters, polypropylene, polyethylene or

polyamides. They shall be formed into a network such that the
filaments or yarns retain dimensional stability relative to each other,
including selvages.
 Geotextile filter fabric shall be lined at the bottom, sides and top of the
pipe embedment zone. This can be same as a gift-wrapping method
along with the backfill material.
 Sequence of Geotextile application.
1. Placing the geotextile to line the trench bottom and sides.
2. Bedding and Pipe laying on the geotextile.
3. Backfilling with appropriate backfill materials.
4. Covering the embedment zone with geotextile.
 Permanent sheeting can be used to distribute the pipe’s lateral loads
appropriately. The sheeting should be at least 300 mm higher than
the pipe crown level and driven below the foundation level. The
sheeting system is to be designed by a specialist and the material to
be of quality to last the lifetime of the pipe.
 Glass Reinforced Plastic pipes are generally joined using Double Bell
Couplings in buried installation. Other jointing system such as
flanges (inside chambers), adhesive bonded joints, mechanical
couplings, Rubber seal lock joints, REKA Seal Lock Joints and
lamination joints may also be used for joining the Glass Reinforced
Plastic pipes.
 A prepared surface is a surface on the inside of a bell or on the outside
of a pipe end that has been abraded manually or mechanically. By the
abrasion process, the reinforcement of the composite may come in
direct contact with the environment and is therefore sensitive for
contamination.
 Drying of wet surfaces is performed using a clean, dry and non-fluffy
cloth and is followed by heating of the bonding areas.
 The temperature of the bonding surfaces of spigot and bell during the
bonding procedure should be kept between 15 0C and 40 0C, but
also at least 3 0C above dew the point.
 A machined, prepared or sanded bonding surface that has been in
contact with oil or grease shall not be used and must be cut.
 Machined, prepared or sanded bonding surfaces that are contaminated
by other means than oil or grease can be cleaned by sanding.
 Bonding surfaces must be sanded equally in a circumferential
direction. The bonding surface must stay smooth by applying even
pressure on the sanding equipment.
 Break sharp edges of the tip of the machined spigot end. The bonding
surface is cleaned using a dry and clean dust bristle.

 Ensure that the pipe is adequately supported or clamped on a pipe
vice. Use rubber padding having a minimum thickness of 2 mm to
protect the pipe from damage.
 Determine the required length from the product drawing or by
measurement. Scribe the pipe at the required length, using a
pipefitters’ wrap-around the minimum cut length shall be as per the
product drawing.
 Cut the pipe square using a diamond or carbide coated hacksaw or an
abrasive wheel.
 Various types of shavers are available. To operate the shaver, carefully
follow the applicable shaver instructions.
 The pipe end to be shaved shall be clean.
 Start the shaving procedure using a maximum shaving feed of 2 mm.
Be careful shaving the first layer as the pipe wall might have an
unequal thickness over the circumference.
 Repeat the shaving action until the required spigot dimension as per
the product drawing is achieved. Measurement of the nose thickness
(T) at several spots (3 – 6) in the circumference of the head of the
spigot with a Vernier calliper can be used to obtain an indication of
having achieved the required spigot diameter (S1).
 Use an unprepared (dummy) bell to check the correctness of the
shaved spigot end dimensions by determining the actual insert depth
of the spigot in the bell. Mark the actual insert depth of the spigot in
the (dummy) bell on the section containing the spigot end.
 The spigot diameter (S1) is checked by comparing the actual insert
depth with the allowable values of the insert depth.
 The actual insert depth shall comply with the following requirement:
 The actual insert depth shall be: - Equal to or smaller than the
maximum insert depth, but also - Equal to or greater than the
minimum insert depth. (Minimum insert depth <= Actual insert
depth <= Maximum insert depth).
 The eccentricity of the shaved spigot diameter (S1) relative to the
inner diameter (ID) is determined from a number (>= 6) of
measurements of the nose thickness (T) in the circumference of the
spigot diameter (S1).
 The maximum number of sanding operations for each of the bonding
surfaces, either the bell or the spigot, is two. In case a bonding
surface is subjected to more than two sanding operations the
dimensions shall be checked by determination of the insert depth of
the spigot in the bell to be bonded.
 In this situation, the check of the insert depth shall be performed with

end
 The actual bonding starts with the preparation of the adhesive and
finishes when the adhesive between the jointed parts is cooled down
to ambient temperature, after completion of the curing of the
adhesive.
 Use a fresh spatula or adhesive scraper for the application of adhesive
on the freshly prepared bonding surfaces. In case the spatula used
for mixing is also used for the application of the adhesive, the spatula
must be cleaned firs
 Wet the sanded surfaces of bell and spigot end with some force with a
thin, uniform coating of adhesive.
 Apply a thin (≈ 0.5 mm) and uniform layer of adhesive on the adhesive-
coated bonding surface of the spigot end.
 Make sure to apply an adhesive layer on the cut end of the spigot and
to apply enough adhesive on the cylindrical end of the spigot that
will be covered by the bell
 Protect the adhesive coatings on the bonding surfaces and prevent any
contamination.
 Parts to be jointed shall be aligned as true as possible.
 Insert the spigot into the bell and pay attention to the alignment mark
on the outer surface in line to the orientation of the parts to be
jointed.
 Hook the winches, apply an equal load on each winch and pull the
sections to be bonded in a smooth movement together until the
spigot does not enter any more into the bell; respect the marking on
the outer surface. Make sure that the spigot is inserted centrally into
the bell until the joint is firmly fixed together.
 The curing time starts when the required surface temperature of the
jointed components is reached. Write the starting time of the curing
on the pipe, next to the heating blanket . Curing time is 60 minutes @
125°C (See Note-5) after the heating up the curing surface. Table
9.4.f provides a guideline for the heating up .
