7.1 INTERNAL PIPE SURFACE PREPARATION


Prior to cement mortar lining the pipes will be internal cleaned to remove scale,
dirt, dust, grease and oil that may prevent the cement mortar lining from adhering
to the pipe wall. The pipe may be internal cleaned by mechanical wire brushing or
by sweep blasting. Sweep blasting material shall be clean, dry and free of
contaments and have less than 0.05 % chloride ion content and less than 0.40 %
sulfate. Acceptance criteria for the steel surface shall be St. 2 finish of ISO-8501-
1:2007 and AWWA C205. When the cleaning operation of a pipe is completed,
the pipe ends shall be closed with plastic end covers that will eliminate debris or
foreign objects from entering the pipe.
Sweep Blasting is a principle of cleaning one surface using jet of sand at high
pressure. The theory involves the use of such fine aggregate of sand or whatever
suits the situation to directly remove dirty and foreign material from body of metal
to ensure base metal surface finish are obtained.
Before and during application of cement mortar lining of a pipe, the temperature of
the steel pipe shall not be allowed to exceed 35 degree Celsius. A cooling plant
shall be employed (when required) using water for mixing and for spraying chilled
water on to the external surface of the pipes.

7.2 MACHINE APPLIED CEMENT MORTAR LINING


The cement mortar lining application will be carried out during the cooler period of
the day or at night when the ambient temperatures are at the lowest.

An operator controlled centrifugal lining machine in one course will apply the cement
mortar lining by traveling the machine from one end to the other end of the pipe
without interruption.

The centrifugal lining machine applies the mortar through a rotating head spraying
the mortar on to the surface whilst traveling.

The rate of mortar discharge and the travel speed of the machine are regulated to
produce a dense and homogenous lining to the specified thickness and tolerances.
The centrifugal lining machine is provided with a mechanical rotating trowel
arrangement that will apply a uniform pressure on the surface of the fresh-sprayed
cement mortar lining producing a smooth and even surface finish.

The mortar is feed to the lining machine by one of the following method:
7.2.1 Mortar hoses in multiple lengths which are fitted together will be
attached to a mortar pump at one end and fixed to the lining
machine hopper.

7.2.2. Mortar is transported from the batch plant by means of a suitable


machine and discharged into the lining machine hopper.

The lining machine then travels to the far end of the pipe and the lining process
commences.

A sufficient quantity of mortar is batched to ensure that the cement mortar is applied
in one course without interruption.

The wet lining thickness of the fresh cement mortar lining will be checked at each
pipe end by means of a depth gauge inserted at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions.
(See Form No. FM/QC/031 in Exhibit 1)

Nominal Pipe Diameter Lining Thickness Nominal Tolerances


24 to 36 Inch 10 mm - 2.0 mm / + 3.0 mm
Larger than 36 Inch 13 mm - 2.0 mm / + 5.0 mm
Weld Bead - - 1.50 mm / + 1.50 mm

Immediately after applying the cement mortar lining, a cutback of maximum 150mm
in length for pipe diameter 28 inch and larger will be made at each end of the pipe
in the cement mortar lining using a thin edged scriber tool. The cement mortar lining
in the cutback area will remain in place to prevent corrosion until time of welding.
Both pipe ends will be closed immediately after completion of the cement mortar
lining for the initial curing period.

Prior to and during lining the temperature of the pipe must not exceed 35 degrees
Celsius.

7.3 HAND APPLIED CEMENT MORTAR LINING


Pipe bends, fittings, spools, vents and drains which cannot be cement mortar lined
machine will be cement mortar lined manually (hand applied) by experienced hand
finishers. The surface of the fresh cement mortar will be hand worked with steel
trowels to a smooth finish.

Factory made sharp bends shall be applied to the interior of fittings larger than 24
Inch will be reinforced according AWWA C205 with galvanized wire mesh size 13
gauges, 2-inch x 2-inch, or similar suitable mesh fixed to the internal pipe surface
using Hempel SA Knifing filler. The wire mesh is cut to fit the internal circumference
of the fitting wall and is braced and held in position away from the fitting wall with
temporary spacers. The bracing and spacers will be removed when the Hempel
Knifing filler has hardened.
The cement mortar is then applied to the wall of the fitting.

8.0 INSITU LINING OF PIPE JOINTS


Insitu lining of pipe joints will be done after completion of welding, application of
heat shrink sleeves and prior to application of joint lining the backfilling of pipeline
trench has to be completed with access opening at every 500 meters for 28 to 34
Inch pipes, 1,500 meters for 36 Inch pipes, 2,000 meters for 40 to 48 Inch pipes,
2,500 meters for 50 to 60 Inch pipe and 5,000 meters for 62 to 100 Inch pipe. The
steel surface of the joint area to be lined will be cleaned to the same standard as
described in section 5.1 of this procedure.

The mixing, batching, mix proportions and raw materials will be the same as for lining
of straight pipes. Materials will be pre-weighed into bags and delivered to the joint
access point.

The adjacent edges of the existing cement mortar lining will be dampened with clean
potable water and a bonding agent Master Cast or Nitobond SBR will be applied and
allowed to become “tacky”.

The cement mortar will be applied to the joint with a centrifugal joint lining machine
and will be finished smooth by hand troweling to the level of the adjacent cement
mortar lining surface.

The fresh mortar will be delivered to the joint lining machine by a soft wheeled mortar
buggy.

Cement mortar Joints lining in steep areas or sections which cannot be cement
mortar lined by machine will be cement mortar lined manually (hand applied) by
experienced hand finishers. The surface of the fresh cement mortar will be hand
worked with steel trowels to a smooth finish
Joint lining will commence at the farthest joint from the pipeline entry point and work
progressively back applying lining to each joint.

As soon as possible after preset of the joint cement mortar lining, the joints are
sprayed with potable water to keep the surface damp and the relevant pipe sections

Slump tests in accordance with ASTM C 230 or DIN 1060 are carried prior to
cement mortar lining application and periodically throughout each lining shift.
Maximum permitted temperature of the fresh mortar shall not exceed 32 degree
Celsius.

11.0 PIPE AND LINING INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Cement mortar lining will be applied to pipes which have been received at the lining
yard and which are within the limitations and tolerances as per M01 (Steel Pipes for
Mainlines) and M02 (Polyethylene Coating) specifications. The steel pipes and the
external polyethylene coating of each pipe will be inspected upon arrival at the lining
yard.

Pipes that have incurred damage and/or are considered unfit for cement mortar
lining will be placed in a segregated area. Damage Pipe Work report will be initiated
together with an investigation into the cause and SWCC/Consulting Engineer will be
informed.

The internal surface of the pipes accepted for lining will be inspected by the Q/C
technician prior to lining. The pipes will be cleaned to St 2 finish of ISO-8501-1:2007
and AWWA C 205 as per cement mortar lining procedure and the condition of the
surface will be recorded on the Lining Inspection Report.

The QC technician will check the cement mortar lining application in progress for
each pipe for lining thickness and surface smoothness. The results will be recorded
on the “Wet Lining Thickness Inspection Report”. The wet lining thickness will be
measured immediately after application of the cement mortar lining using a
hardened needle inserted at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock position on both pipe ends.

The cement mortar lining dry thickness and tolerances will be in accordance within
the parameters of the latest edition of AWWA C 205 table 1.

The start time of cement mortar lining of each pipe will be recorded on the “Wet
Lining Thickness Report”.

Any noticeable defects such as voids, lumps and sack pockets which are not within
the parameters of the project specification may be a cause for rejection and the lining
will either be repaired or removed from the pipe.

11.1 LINED PIPE INSPECTION

Immediately after the initial curing period (preset) when the mortar has reached
sufficient strength a visual inspection with lights will be made on every lined pipe to
determine the quality of the lining and to identify the areas to be repaired.

The surface of the cement mortar lining shall be smooth and even. The surface shall
not be flattened at individual spots nor show waves or grooves. Trowel marks, single
waves or grooves are not ground for rejection as long as the minimum or maximum
specified thickness is maintained. Aggregate grains may only sporadically stand out
of the surface.

The absolute roughness value as per Colebrook White formula shall be at the
maximum 0.1 mm or less. Due to inevitable shrinkage of the cement mortar lining
hairline cracks are unavoidable. Hairline cracks and surface cracks will be allowed
up to a maximum width of 0.8 mm. The length of cracks shall not exceed 50% of
