PART 3 - EXECUTION 3-01 EXAMINATION A. Verify site conditions. Locate, identify, and protect existing above and below grade utilities from damage. 3-02 PREPARATION A. Protect all improvements not authorized for removal. B. Employ equipment and methods appropriate to the work site. C. Identify location of proposed storm drainage facilities to be constructed. Expose connection points to existing system. D. Protect excavated areas from drainage inflow, and provide drainage to all excavated areas. Dewater as necessary. E. Comply with safety requirements as they pertain to excavations, per Section 31 23 00/3-01C. 3-03 EXCAVATION A. Excavate soil required to locate existing utilities and install the work, use hand method as necessary in congested area. B. Employ equipment and methods appropriate to the work site. C. Cut trenches just wide enough to enable installation and proper backfill and do not interfere with 45 degree bearing splay of foundations. When excavating through tree roots, cut roots by hand. D. Excavate trenches to provide the minimum cover required. E. Excavate trenches, pits, or holes bottoming in hardpan to a minimum of 6 inches below the grade for the bottom of the pipe and any couplings. F. In all trenches or excavation sites where a firm foundation is not encountered, such as soft, spongy, or otherwise unsuitable material, remove the material to a minimum of 12 inches, or to a depth determined by the Engineer, below the bottom of the proposed pipe or structure. G. Stockpile excavated material to be returned to trench adjacent thereto in location, which will not be detrimental to existing improvements, or pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Remove unsuitable or excess materials not being used, from site. 3-04 INSTALLATION AND BEDDING OF PIPE A. Install the pipe and fittings to the lines and grades shown on the construction plans. B. Install pipe and fittings in accordance with the manufacturer s recommendations. CHILDREN S WATER PLAY AREA 33 40 00 PAGE 3
AGE IMPROVEMENTS C. Lay all pipe with bell end of pipe upgrade from structure to structure. D. Excavate suitable bell holes in the bedding material, so that the bells do not bear on the subgrade or bedding. E. Ensure that all joints are watertight. F. Bed concrete pipe in Type B or C soil envelope, and compact to a minimum of 85 percent relative compaction. Place and compact the bedding material under, around and over the pipe, filling the trench cavity and extending from the bottom of the trench (4 inches below the outside bottom of the pipe barrel) to a level 12 inches above the outside top of the pipe barrel. 3-05 INSTALLATION OF AGE STRUCTURES AND APPURTENANCES A.
