5. PROCEDURE AND SEQUENCE

- The Contractor shall furnish all labor, tools and materials necessary for the
complete installation of the plumbing system which includes pipe lines
inside(including under) Buildings
- Underground Soil, Waste, Drain and Vent Pipe and Fittings - Underground soil, waste,
drain and vent pipe and fittings shall be uPVC; HDPE; PPR pipe.
- Underslab sanitary sewer pipes from fixtures to the building main shall be uPVC pipe.
Fittings shall be uPVC and solvent weld shall comply ASTM solvent cement.
- All excavation shall be restored to its required level. The bottom of trench shall be dry
prior to installation. After installation, all pipe ends shall be capped to prevent egress of
unsuitable materials.
- The trench bottom shall be continuous, smooth, free of rocks and in accordance to the
line and grade shown in the drawing.

6. WORKING METHOD/PROCEDURES

- Remove foreign matter from inside of pipe before installation.

- Adequately support vertical lines at their bases or by a suitable hanger place in
horizontal line near riser or by a base fitting set on pedestal.
- Run piping in straight lines and square with the building. Riser lines to be plumb. Provide
dielectric fittings for connecting dissimilar metals
- Do not route piping over any electrical equipment where the possibility of damage
exists. Provide flanges and unions throughout piping system to facilitate the installation
and removal of piping and equipment.
- Sewer lines shall not cross over water line. In case inevitable, suitable measures at the
crossing shall be taken.
- Valves shall be installed in horizontal lines with stems either horizontal or vertical.
Isolation valves shall be installed at any other points indicated or required for draining,
isolation, or sectionalizing purposes as per Drawings. Valves shall be installed such that
maintenance access is maintained for all parts requiring service. Control valves shall be
provided in water pipes to provide complete regulation of plumbing fixtures and
equipment
- Provisions must be included for servicing and removal of equipment without dismantling
piping works. Place water supply pipes, storm drainage pipes, sanitary sewer pipes,
waste pipes and drain pipes at elevation and slopes as per drawing.
- Preparation for the first fix shall commenced immediately upon completion of civil
works

Work Item: Calculation Works
 [Housing Complex]Method Statement for uPVC, HDPE, PPR Piping Work
NS2-DD09-P0UYK-770011

- Marking for the pipe route considering the other agencies shall be done with due
consideration for slopes and tapping points as per the drawings.
- After the chasing works, the concealed pipes shall be concealed
- The process of installing pipelines shall be inspected by the stakeholders and ensured to
follow the required procedures. (There will be no leak if the installation process follows
the right procedures). Visual leak check shall be carried-out after the installation.
- Pipes shall be joint when the length of a pipe has been put into use, and in case in case
that there are changes on the elevation and direction of the pipeline in accordance with
the design, joint fittings shall be needed.
- Checking the slope of pipes following the design: Before installing pipes in the concrete
structure or associated with other structures, the elevation (pipe bottom) shall be
determined by the theodolite. For the pipelines on the ground, the elevation shall be
determined by the theodolite and the land area is prepared following the design
elevation, then pipes shall be directly installed on the prepared ground. After the pipe
installation, checking the slope again by the theodolite and tape measure. Tolerance of
elevation and location of pipe ≤ 5mm.
- The bottom of pipe and back fill material shall not have any sharp edged material
which may damage the pipes. Hence generally, the bottom 100mm shall be filled
with sand and also back filling shall be done with sand till 100mm above the pipe
to ensure no damage to pipe and to consolidate properly without applying
excessive loading.

7. QUALITY CONTROL
- The Site Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) for this work summarize various
characteristics to be checked. The concerned Site Engineer/Foreman will be responsible
to ensure stage wise compliance for these operations and the Site QA/QC
Engineer/Inspector will carry-out quality control checks and report the inspection
results.

8. PRESSURE TEST (For water supply pipe)

- Pressure test is not made to discover premature failure of components, but to find
installation errors or fabrication defects of piping.
- Preparation: Piping network shall be prepared for carrying out a pressure test. For this, dead
plugs shall be installed at the outlets (in case of hydrostatic pressure testing, a venting point
shall be made at the highest outlet). Pressure gauge having the proper range and that has a
valid calibration shall be installed and connected to the piping network.
- Hydrostatic Pressure Testing:

Work Item: Calculation Works
 [Housing Complex]Method Statement for uPVC, HDPE, PPR Piping Work
NS2-DD09-P0UYK-770011

+ The purpose of the Hydrostatic Pressure Testing is to discover the premature failure of
components and to improve the reliability and safety of the tested system. Hydro testing will
be applied to all water-based system. The items below describe the steps to be taken to
complete the hydrostatic pressure testing.
+ Isolate piping from the existing main network (if applicable) closing by blind flange or
plug. Confirm that a drain at lowest point & vent valves at highest point have been installed
in the piping network. Fill water in the piping network to be tested for the hydrostatic test.
+ Testing pressure shall be equal to working pressure plus 5 daN/cm2, but not exceed 10
daN/cm2 and keep during time 10 minutes. Allowed reducing pressure in testing time < 0.5
daN/cm2 (TCVN 4519:1988 Indoor water supply and drainage system – Codes for
construction, check and acceptance)

9. LEAKAGE TEST (For drainage pipe)

- QA/QC Inspector shall review all documents within test boundary and notify the Owner of
test schedule with related documents.
- It is required to prevent movement of pipe, the pipe trench between joints may be temporary
fixed before testing.
- Vent shall be provided at high points of test boundary and filling and drain line shall be
installed for testing.
- Before filling of water, Piping Engineer shall verify that all preparation for test is
completed.
- The system shall be visual checked for leaks.
- After leakage test is completed low point drain valve shall be opened and the system
through
drained.
