[Link] Pipe Laying and Jointing

Remove fins and burrs from pipe and fittings. Before placing in position,
clean pipe, fittings, valves, and accessories, and maintain in a clean
condition. Provide proper facilities for lowering sections of pipe into
trenches. Do not under any circumstances drop or dump pipe, fittings,
valves, or any other water line material into trenches. Cut pipe in a neat
workmanlike manner accurately to length established at the site and work
into place without springing or forcing. Replace by one of the proper
length any pipe or fitting that does not allow sufficient space for proper
installation of jointing material. Blocking or wedging between bells and
spigots will not be permitted. Lay bell-and-spigot pipe with the bell end
pointing in the direction of laying. Grade the pipeline in straight lines;
avoid the formation of dips and low points. Support pipe at proper
elevation and grade. Secure firm, uniform support. Wood support blocking
will not be permitted. Lay pipe so that the full length of each section of
pipe and each fitting will rest solidly on the pipe bedding; excavate
recesses to accommodate bells, joints, and couplings. Provide anchors and
supports where necessary for fastening work into place. Make proper
provision for expansion and contraction of pipelines. Keep trenches free of
water until joints have been properly made. At the end of each work day,
close open ends of pipe temporarily with wood blocks or bulkheads. Do not
lay pipe when conditions of trench or weather prevent installation. Depth
of cover over top of pipe shall not be less than 3 feet.

[Link] Installation of Tracer Wire

Install a continuous length of tracer wire for the full length of each run
of nonmetallic pipe, in accordance with Manufacturer’s Recommendations, and
Specification Section 01-35-00. Attach wire to top of pipe in such manner
that it will not be displaced during construction operations.
