4.0 Method

4.1 Storage

4.1.1 When offloading pipes shall be lowered to the ground either manually or with
mechanical aid like crane depending on the quantity of the pipe and should not be
dropped to the ground. Refer – Manufacturer’s instruction for transport, handling and
storage.

4.1.2 Pipes shall be given adequate support at all times and shall be stacked on a flat surface
free from any sharp objects.

4.1.3 Timber supports of a least 3” wide shall be placed beneath the pipes with spacing not
greater than 1.8 mtr. Closer supports will be required for sizes below 160 mm.

4.1.4 Pipes and fittings shall not be stored under direct sunlight.

4.1.5 Socketed pipes shall be stacked in layers with sockets placed at alternate ends of the
stack and with the sockets protruding to avoid unstable stacks and the possibility of
imparting a permanent set to the pipes.

4.1.6 Larger pipe sizes of thicker class shall always be placed at the bottom.

4.2 Installation

4.2.1 Pipes are brought to the work place manually from the store to the area.

4.2.2 Ensure that the mating areas of spigot and socket are thoroughly clean and square.

4.2.2 Set the rubber ring into groove.

4.2.3 Assess the full socket depth by simple measurement and mark spigot accordingly.

4.2.4 Apply lubricant to the spigot side and to the inside of the joint on rubber.

4.2.5 Accurate axial alignment of the spigot and socket prior to joining is important, hand
feed spigot into rubber joint until resistance from the inner sealing section is felt.

4.2.7 Complete the joint by applying leverage to the following socket and using a timer block
to prevent damage.

4.2.8 Connect installation underground drainage pipe with stub out underground piping by
joint.
4.2.9 Testing and commissioning after connection underground drainage piping by leakage
test after connection.

Important Notice

a) If pipes are cut on site, make sure that the new spigots are cut square with a fine toothed
saw and are chamfered to half pipe thickness with a coarse file before jointing.

b) All pipes and fittings delivered to site for the work should be stored in an approved
manner to avoid deterioration due to accidental damage and atmospheric condition.

c) Before final erection, all pipes should be free of dust, scale rust or other form of
corrosion.

d) All pipes will be laid to a uniform slope as indicated on the drawing on a prepared
trench bed.

e) Before laying, all pipes and fittings should be checked for defects and jointing spaces
cleaned properly.

f) Socketed pipes to be laid with sockets uphill. Scoop out compact bed locally at pipe
sockets where socket pipes are used. Adjust pipes to line and level with the help of 1
mtr. Long spirit level and if required the surveyor’s help can be obtained. Ensure pipe
bottoms rest uniformly on the bedding.

g) To avoid possible damage or deformation of the pipe, its support by the ground in which
it is laid should be made as uniform as possible and must be free from large stones,
sharp edged flints or other hard objects.

4.3 Back-Filling

4.3.1 Before commencing to place any side fill material; any levelling pegs or temporary
packing shall be removed.

4.3.2 Filling around the pipes shall be done with the same bedding material to a minimum
height of 100mm and a maximum of 300mm and be thoroughly compacted.

4.3.3 Plastic identification tape shall be installed during back filling operations. The tape
shall be centered on the pipeline with lettering facing upwards.

 RISK ASSESSMENT & CONTROL GUIDELINES

1. Executing Steps:
1.1. Planning
a) Construction and HSE team must ensure that hazard identification is complete.
b) Construction and HSE team must prioritize the hazard issues, which are of significant in nature. (It means that
risks have well established legal requirements, potentially high risks).
c) Construction and HSE team to prepare the risk assessment plan for the priorities identified hazards for these
potential high risks.

1.2. Risk Assessment

Risk is the probability of an event occurring in a given set of circumstances. The ‘event’ is an exposure to hazard. The
hazard is the potential to cause harm. The risk assessment is the technique of evaluating not just the likelihood of an
event occurring, but also the outcome will be in terms of injury, loss, damage or harm.
1.3. Risk Assessment Process
The process of carrying out a risk assessment should be as follows.
1. Identify the hazards.
2. Identify who might be harmed and how.
3. Evaluate the risk and implement the control measures.
4. Record the significant findings.
5. Review the assessment and update if necessary.

1.4. Examination of the Hazards and Risk Associated

 Competent staff must be used in examining the risk associated with the identified hazard.
 Competent staff should examine following aspect to determine the risk involved:
o Examine the existing control measures in place.
o Identify employees at risk.
o Likelihood of risk.
o Severity
o Risk level and their tolerability.

1.5. Evaluating the risk:

Once the necessary information has been obtained on the hazards encountered by work activities, next stage is to
access the risks.
1.5.1. Risk Rating Score
Risk rating score is a combination of two factors.
 The severity of the risk that could injure persons or cause damage to plant.
 The likelihood of the risk that it could happen (Probability).

RISK RATING = LIKELIHOOD X SEVERITY

NOTE: Each activity has to be assessed for the risk value for determining the level of Severity and likelihood are mentioned in
the table below.
