Procedures

1 Quality Inspection Plan (QIP) specific to project requirements shall be made and inspection
activities shall be recorded on the given Format
2 Layout marking for excavation using the latest construction drawings
3 Excavation must proceed with the help of the Excavation method statement.
4 The piping material shall be shifted from the warehouse or from lay down area by using a
suitable crane and nylon slings for lifting purposes. Proper care should be taken for shifting
of pipes depending upon the nature of the material, e.g. cement lined piping needs more
care in handling as compared to drainpipes.
5 The pipes shall be lowered into the trench directly on sandbags (or firm bearing surface as
per project specification) except portions where field joints shall be done. After welding and
testing activity, the bearing shall be extended under leftover positions.
