If the same thing is happened twice in the 15 days, the work will be suspended, and hot
bin sample should be re-tested.
3. If the marshal density and GMM not found within JMF limit the production will be
rejected.
Q. What is the reason if loss of stability is high?
 If stripping value of aggregate is less than 95% then loss of stability will be high.
 If Natural sand is more in the Asphalt Mix.
 If plastic material is used in the Mix.
 If sand equivalent value is less, it will give high loss.
 If Bitumen content is less, it will give high loss.
 The compaction temperature of the marshal specimen will effect on the loss of stability.
 The weather temperature in which marshal specimen are kept will be effect on loss of
stability.
Q. If the %age of air void are more in the Mix how you will control it?
 Increase the bitumen content up to certain limit.
 Increase filler material in the Mix.

Q. If air void & stability is less in the Mix?

 Increase the coarse Aggregate and used the good quality of Aggregate.
Q. If stability is high (abnormal) & flow is less?

 Its mean pavement is rigid and brittle, under heavy traffic cricks will be produce in the
Mix. So, reduce the course Aggregate and increase fine Aggregate. Its mean low
penetration bitumen is used in the Mix. If marshal specimen compacted at high
temperature, it will give high stability.
Q. What is rigidity and stiffness?

 When low penetration bitumen is used in the Mix it will give high stability and low flow
value. The pavement will be rigid, under heavy traffic cricks will be produce in the
pavement.
Q. what is the difference between Modified and standard proctor?

Gyration Numbers

N initial
The number of gyration use is a measure of mixture compactability during construction, is
called Number of initial gyration.
Mix that compact too quickly (Air void at N initial are too low) may be tender (soft) during
construction & unstable when subject to traffic.

N Design:
The design number of gyration required to produce a sample with the same density as expected
in the filed after the indicated amount of traffic.
A mix with 4% air voids at N design is required in the Mix design.
N Maximum:
The number of gyrations required to produce a Lab density that should never be exceed in the
field.
If the air voids in the N maxim are too low, than the field mixture may be compact too much
under traffic resulting in excessively low air voids and potential (possible) rutting.

Selection of Material:

1. Binder: As per ASTM D 8 Asphalt as defined as, ‟A dark brown to black cementitious material in
which major constituents are bitumen. They are occur in the nature or obtained in the
petroleum processing. Binder or Bitumen are the principle or main constituent of Hot Mix
Asphalt. Asphalt function as an inexpensive, waterproof, thermoplastic, viscoelastic adhesive.
2. Rheology: The branch of physics that deal with the deformation and flow of matter.
Determination & flow of asphalt binder in HMA is important in determining HMA pavement
performance.
3. Asphalt Binder grade selection:
 Generally one need to:
 Determine project weather data.
 Select reliability.
 Determined design temperature.
 Derive the performance grade.
 In the Kingdom:
 Selection of Asphalt Binder Grade is Based on the Kingdom
Temperature Zoning Map.
 Verify Asphalt PG.
 Determine temperature- viscosity relationship.

Pipes:
For NDRC we are using the following pipes.
1. We are using GRP and concrete reinforcement pipe for storm water and sewerage work.
The fluid is flowing in this pipe, while somewhere we are using concrete pipe in NDRC, in
this case we are using,
2. Concrete pipe is a sleeves and another pipe will pass in it.
3. HDPE pipe: it is use for potable/drinking water. It site we are testing doing test for
HDPE pipe, pressure test, Flashing test, disinfection test, and joint test.
4. GRP pipes: After installation we are checking deflection test at 2%, after backfilling we
are doing deflection at 3%, when road completed than check deflection at 5%. For big
dia we are using deflective meter for deflection test.
5. UPVC Pipe: After installation check the deflection test at 3% before backfilling, and after
final back filling deflection will be, check it 5%. Further information I will ask from
Abdullah.

For storm water pipe line, 800mm dia we have perform Air pressure test for leakage from
Manhole 07 to 7A. 100mm pressure given through gauge for 4 minutes and after 4 minutes
the level did not drop its means that there is no leakage. This pipeline was not for pressure
but we have check the leakages.
 Sewerage water Pipe: There are 4 types of pipe
UPVC:
1. PN-10.

2. PN-16
GRP Pipe:
1. GRP Pipe stiffness 5000.
2. GRP Pipe stiffens 10000
UPVC pipe for sewerage and storm water we can use min 16mm dia uo to 300mm dia
abive 300 we will used GRP pipe.
UPVC pipe PN-10 we can used If the depth of trench is more than 4 meter and
From 4 meter up to the finishing level, we will use UPVC PIPE PN-16.

GRP Pipe.
From ground level up to 6 meter depth we can used 5000 stiffness GRP pipe, from 6 meter up
to 10 meter we can use 10000 stiffens GRP pipe, if the depth is more the 10 meter we will
change the stiffens value or we will make concrete in surrounding of the GRP Pipe.
Sewerage Pipe greater the 300 mm dia slope will be min 0.75% and for storm water, slop will be
3% min.
Sewerage line upvc pipe testing.
Hydro test or pressure test initial test before backfilling, after backfilling from Manhole to
Manhole pressure test or mirror test.

will be prepare by concrete C-40, GRP cover slab liner 7mm. opening
double triangle DI cover frame clear opening 300X300
Potable water pipe:
In potable water, we are using 2 types of pipe.
1. HDPE Pipe: PN-10 and PN-16 (PN-10 not used)
2. DI pipe (Ductile iron Pipe).
HDPE pipe: There is two type of pipe, PN-10 and PN-16. It is pressure pipe so we are not
using PN-10 but we are using PN-16. PN-16 is stronger than PN-10. We are using HDPE pipe
 up to 400mm and above 400mm dia we are using DI Pipe for drinking or potable water. The
HDPE pipe we will consider outer dia while in DI we will consider internal dia.
DI pipe (Ductile iron Pipe) SDR 17 = PN-10 and SDR 11 = pn-16. SDR stand for standard
dimension ratio
For joint of HDPE pipe, we are using Butt fusion Machin and electro fusion Machin. Butt
Machin we are using normally in the open space while electro fusion machine we are using in
the complicated area just like trench.

Testing of HDPE Pipe:

Hydro test: we will use drinking water in the pipe for this test. The water will be filled in the
pipe from lower point to highest point, by this way all Air will be replace by water in the pipe.
Let us suppose that it is mention in the specification that working pressure will be 6bar in the
pipe.
Test Procedure for HDPE pipe:
The test of the pipe will start from Manhole to Manhole, the pipe will be little back filled, but all
joint will be expose means not backfilled to see the leakages in the joint.
Step No 01. Give pressure to the pipe = working pressure+1.5 = 6+1.5 =7.5 bar pressure to the
pipe for one hours than release the pressure.
Step No 02. Give pressure to the pipe = working pressure+1.5+1.5= 6+1.5+1.5=9 bar for one
hour, than release the pressure.
Step No.03. Give pressure to the pipe = working pressure + 1.5 = 6+1.5 = 7.5 bar for one hours
the release. If we did not found any leakage, its mean the line is pass or ok.

Test Procedure for DI pipe:

Before commencement of the test, the pipe should be backfilled up to 30cm only joint would
be expose.
In the DI pipe, we will put drinking water for 12 hours, after 12 hours we will start the test. This
test we can complete in one-step.
Step No 01. After 12 hours we will give the pressure in the pipe = Working pressure + 1.5 =
6+1.5 = 7.5 bar and we will maintain it up to 3 hours, after that we will check if the pressure
dose not drop its mean that the line is ok there is no leakage in the pipe. Two pressure gauge
will be fixed at lower end of the pipe and upper end of the pipe. The DI pipe have socket and
spiked (It mean one pipe have socket and the other pipe have spiked they are joint through
this). Warring tap will be put 30cm below from the ground level above the pipeline.

Potable water Chamber:

 1. Gate valve.
2. Air release valve.
3. Washout chamber.
4. Control Valve.
5. Flow valve.
Flow valve and control valve are fixing to gather that is called sector-measuring point.
These two are fix where you are taking the connection of the pipe. All chamber should
be waterproof from outside and inside will be epoxy coated.
Any Main hole coming in the road the cover frame will be DI-400, and the main hole
coming in the footpath the cover frame will be use D-250.
Etisalat Chamber: pipe use for these activities is D-54 and D-55.
JRC-04 it is used for single or double pipe.
JRC-12 it is used for 4way & 2 Way.
JRC-14 it is used for above 4way pipe.
JRC stand for Joint research center

Q. What is wet utility and dry utility?

1. Sewerage water, storm water, Potable water, irrigation & Recycle water are wet
utilities.
2. Du, Etisalat (Telecommunication work) and streetlight are dry utilities.

Valves:
There are two types of valves.
1. Get Valves: up to 300mm dia we are using gate valves
2. Batter fly valves: Above 400 mm dia, we are using Batter fly valves.
DI fitting
Flange Adopter and Dismantle Joint use in Chamber, its use is only for maintenance
purpose. Dismantle joint use for washout.
Vent pipe are two types
1. L shape use in the urban area.
2. Vertical pipe use in the desert area.
Purpose: both are used for air ventilation
GRP Ladder never use in the sewerage manhole while use in the storm water
manhole. Sewerage manhole made from GRP material, while storm water
Manhole made from concrete.
Shutdown: shutdown is required where you want to connect you pipeline with active
pipeline. For should down approval we will submit the following documents to operation
maintenance authority.
1. Method statement.
2. Pipe test report.
3. Approved shop drawing.
4. NOC.
The contractor will submit the above documents to operation maintenance deportment
for approve. From 7 to 10 days they will visit the site and will give you the time for
shutdown, on shutdown day they will come to the site and will close the pipe after that
you will start the work.

Telecommunication network:
Pipe D-54 and D-55 used in the telecommunication network. GRC chamber used for
telecommunication work.

What is ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management system?

Technical committee 176 formed in 1980, ISO 9001 originally published by technical committee
in 1987, than revise in 1994, 2000 & in 2008. The latest revision of ISO 9001:2015 was publish in
September 2015.
ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies the requirements for quality management
system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate/establish/determine/prove the
ability to consistently (regularly) provide products & services that meet the customer and
regulatory (controlling) requirements.
ISO 9001 is the most popular standard of ISO 9000 series. ISO 9001 is the only standard in the
series to which organization can certify. ISO 9001:2015 certification means that an organization
has demonstration the following.
 Fallows the ISO 9001 standard.
 Fulfill its own requirements.
 Meet customer requirements & statutory/ legal and regulatory requirements.
 Maintain documentation.
ISO 9001 was first published/issued in 1978 by international organization for standardization
(ISO). The current version of ISO 9001 was release in September 2015. It is use in more than 160
countries.
ISO 9001 applies to any organization and industry, more than one million organizations from
more than 160 countries have applied the ISO 9001 standard requirements to their quality
management systems. All type and size of organization used ISO 9001 standard help them.
Those organizations that use ISO 9001 are encourage to move/transition to ISO 9001:2015 as
soon as possible. ISO 9001 based on the Plan-do-checked-Act Methodology & provide a
process-oriented approach, to documenting and reviewing the structure, responsibilities, and
process enquired to achieve effective quality management in an organization. Specific section
of the standard contains information of many topics, such as.
 Requirement for quality management system (QMS).
 Documents information
 Planning.
 Process interactions.
 Responsibilities of management.
 Management of sources.
 Human resources
 Organization work environment.
 Product realization.
 Steps from design to delivery.
 Measurement.
 Analysis & improvement of the QMS through activities like internal audits, and
corrective & preventive action.

proofing are fallow

1. First Primer applied at outside Manhole Body. Then 2.1 mm Bitumen Membrane and then 6mm
Bit board.

Sewerage Main Hole & Cover: we can used upvc pipe for sewerage work up to dia 350mm more the
350mm we will used GRP pipe, we will use Geotextile around the pipe if it is Upvc or GRP.

Inside Manhole 7mm GRP lamination while outside applied primer then 2.1mm membrane and then
6mm bit board

Double Tringle Main Hole Cover is used for Sewerage. Its clear opening is 600mm. The Main Hole cover
is 375 Micron epoxy coated both side. For sewerage Line we can used Upvc and GRP, so we will use
Geotextile around the Pipe.

Portable water Chamber: Its submittal will be approved by DEW Department.

If the chamber height is up to 1.5m we will make it from solid block, if its height is more than 1.5m then
base will be prepared from concrete and the wall will be solid block Masonry, and the top slab will be
from concrete. Water proofing for portable chamber is, applied primer outside on the chamber, then 1.6
mm Membrane, after that 12mm Bit board will be applied.

4. Puncher resistance DIN 54307 1.5 KN

5. Permeability DIN 605020 50 l/sq.m/s

GRP Pipes:
We will used GRP pipes for Sewerage in all Dia.

For Drainage work we will used Upvc pipe dia up to 315mm, after 315mm we will used GRP pipe
because in the UPVC pipe maxim available pipe dia is 315mm.

Excavation of Trench for pipe:

Excavation of Trench will be done as per the below formula,

Width of the Trench =(1.5 X Pipe Dia) +500 Late us supposed that pipe Dia is 300mm now (1.5 X
300)+500 =950mm so width of the trench should be keep 950mm but as per Dubai specification each
trench dia should be min 700mm.

After this we will compact the bed and Lab will perform FDT Test, then spread Geotextile in such a
position that it can overlap 50cm at the joint. 15cm Aggregate will be put on Geotextile if pipe dia is
required up to Max 300mm and also 30cm aggregate will be on the top of pipe, then the Geotextile will
be overlap on each other. The first 2 Layer will be compacted by hand compactor and will be checked by
visual no FDT is required, after that up to 2 Mater used Plate compactor or babe roller & performed FDT
for compaction.

If pipe used in the trench is more than 300mm dia than after geotextile we will put Aggregate layer
20cm than we will put pipe and on the top of the pipe we will put 30cm aggregate layer than overlap the
geotextile 50cm on each other. The first 2 Layer will be compacted by hand compactor and will be
checked by visual no FDT is required, after that up to 2 Mater used Plate compactor or babe roller &
performed FDT for compaction.
