and high-level alarm functions shall not be controlled by the same switch. Float switches of
any kind, including float trees, will not be accepted due to the periodic need to maintain
(rinsing, cleaning) such devices and their tendency to malfunction because of incorrect
wiring, tangling, grease buildup, and mechanical cord fatigue. To assure reliable operation of
the pressure switches, each core shall be equipped with a factory installed equalizer
diaphragm that compensates for any atmospheric pressure or temperature changes. Tube
or piping runs outside of the station tank or into tank-mounted junction boxes providing
pressure switch equalization will not be permitted due to their susceptibility to
condensation, kinking, pinching, and insect infestation. The grinder pump will be furnished
with a 6 conductor 14 gauge, type SJOW cable, pre-wired and watertight to meet UL
requirements with a FACTORY INSTALLED NEMA 6P EQD half attached to it.

alarms are activated, the contacts on the alarm pressure switch activate, and the
redundant pump starting system is energized.
2. The audible alarm may be silenced by means of the externally mounted, push-to-silence
button.
3. Visual alarm remains illuminated until the sewage level in the wet-well drops below the
“off” setting of the alarm pressure switch.
a. The visual alarm lamp shall be inside a red, oblong lens at least 3.75" L x 2.38" W x
1.5" H. Visual alarm shall be mounted to the top of the enclosure in such a manner
as to maintain NEMA 4X rating. The audible alarm shall be externally mounted on
the bottom of the enclosure, capable of 93 dB @ 2 feet. The audible alarm shall be
capable of being deactivated by depressing a push-type switch that is encapsulated
in a weatherproof silicone boot and mounted on the bottom of the enclosure (push-
to-silence button).
b. For duplex stations, in addition to the above, two high level indicator lights shall be
mounted within the enclosure on the duplex panel’s alarm circuit board. During high
level alarm indication on duplex stations, the appropriate indicator light will
illuminate to indicate which core requires service.
c. The entire alarm panel, as manufactured, shall be listed by Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc.
3.00 EXECUTION
3.01 DELIVERY
A. All grinder pump units will be delivered to the job site 100 percent completely assembled,
including testing, ready for installation. Field installation of the pump in tanks under 96
inches is not allowed. Field installation of the level sensor into the tank is not allowed.
Grinder pump stations will be individually mounted on wooden pallets.
3.02 INSTALLATION
A. Earth excavation and backfill are specified under SITE WORK, but are also to be done as a
part of the work under this section, including any necessary sheeting and bracing.
B. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for handling ground water to provide a firm, dry
subgrade for the structure, and shall guard against flotation or other damage resulting from
general water or flooding.
C. The grinder pump stations shall not be set into the excavation until the installation
procedures and excavation have been approved by the ENGINEER.
D. Remove packing material. Users instructions MUST be given to the OWNER. Hardware
supplied with the unit, if required, will be used at installation. The basin will be supplied
with a standard 4" inlet grommet (4.50" OD) for connecting the incoming sewer line.
Appropriate inlet piping must be used. The basin may not be dropped, rolled or laid on its
side for any reason.
Packaged Sewage Lift Station (Duplex Grinder Pumps) 22 13 44-8
DTN1810 – Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements
E. Installation shall be accomplished so that 1" to 4" of accessway, below the bottom of the lid,
extends above the finished grade line. The finished grade shall slope away from the unit.
The diameter of the excavated hole must be large enough to allow for the concrete anchor.
F. A 6" inch (minimum) layer of naturally rounded aggregate, clean and free flowing, with
particle size of not less than 1/8" or more than 3/4" shall be used as bedding material under
each unit.
G. A concrete anti-flotation collar, as detailed on the drawings, and sized according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, shall be required and shall be pre-cast to the grinder pump or
poured in place. Each grinder pump station with its pre-cast anti-flotation collar shall have a
minimum of three lifting eyes for loading and unloading purposes.
H. If the concrete is poured in place, the unit shall be leveled, and filled with water, to the
bottom of the inlet, to help prevent the unit from shifting while the concrete is being
poured. The concrete must be manually vibrated to ensure there are no voids. If it is
necessary to pour the concrete to a level higher than the inlet piping, an 8" sleeve is
required over the inlet prior to the concrete being poured.
I. The CONTRACTOR will provide and install a 4-foot piece of 4-inch SCH 40 PVC pipe with
water tight cap, to stub-out the inlet for the property owners’ installation contractor, as
depicted on the contract drawings.
J. The electrical enclosure shall be furnished, installed and wired to the grinder pump station
by the CONTRACTOR. An alarm device is required on every installation, there shall be NO
EXCEPTIONS. It will be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR and the ENGINEER to
coordinate with the individual property owner(s) to determine the optimum location for the
Alarm Panel.
K. The CONTRACTOR shall mount the alarm device in a conspicuous location, as per national
and local codes. The alarm panel will be connected to the grinder pump station by a length
of 6 conductor 12 gauge type TC cable as shown on the contract drawings. The power and
alarm circuits must be on separate power circuits. The grinder pump stations will be
provided with 32’, 25’ of useable, electrical supply cable to connect the station to the alarm
panel. This cable shall be supplied with a FACTORY INSTALLED EQD half to connect to the
mating EQD half on the core.
3.03 BACKFILL REQUIREMENTS
A. Proper backfill is essential to the long-term reliability of any underground structure. Several
methods of backfill are available to produce favorable results with different native soil
conditions. The most highly recommended method of backfilling is to surround the unit to
grade using Class I or Class II backfill material as defined in ASTM 2321. Class 1A and Class 1B
are recommended where frost heave is a concern, Class 1B is a better choice when the
native soil is sand or if a high, fluctuating water table is expected. Class 1, angular crushed
stone offers an added benefit in that it doesn’t need to be compacted.
B. Class II, naturally rounded stone, may require more compactive effort, or tamping, to
achieve the proper density. If the native soil condition consists of clean compactable soil,
with less than 12 percent fines, free of ice, rocks, roots and organic material, it may be an
acceptable backfill. Soil must be compacted in lifts not to exceed one foot to reach a final
Proctor Density of between 85 percent and 90 percent. Heavy, non-compactable clays and
silts are not suitable backfill for this or any underground structure such as inlet or discharge
lines.
Packaged Sewage Lift Station (Duplex Grinder Pumps) 22 13 44-9
DTN1810 – Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements
C. Another option is the use of a flowable fill (i.e., low slump concrete). This is particularly
attractive when installing grinder pump stations in augured holes where tight clearances
make it difficult to assure proper backfilling and compaction with dry materials. Flowable
fills should not be dropped more than 4 feet from the discharge to the bottom of the hole to
avoid separation of the constituent materials.
D. Backfill of clean native earth, free of rocks, roots, and foreign objects shall be thoroughly
compacted in lifts not exceeding 12" to a final Proctor Density of not less than 85 percent.
Improper backfilling may result in damaged accessways. The grinder pump station shall be
installed at a minimum depth from grade to the top of the 1 1/4" discharge line, to assure
maximum frost protection. The finish grade line shall be 1" to 4" below the bottom of the
lid, and final grade shall slope away from the grinder pump station.
E. All restoration will be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR. Per unit costs for this item
shall be included in the CONTRACTOR’S bid price for the individual grinder pump stations.
The properties shall be restored to their original condition in all respects, including, but not
limited to, curb and sidewalk replacement, landscaping, loaming and seeding, and
restoration of the traveled ways, as directed by the ENGINEER.

raceway at the same time and use U.L. listed, wire pulling lubricant for pulling No. 4
AWG and larger wire.
5. Except for hand-pulled conductors into raceways, all wire and cable installation shall be
installed with tension-monitoring equipment. Where conductors are found to have
been installed without tension-monitoring, the conductors and cables shall be
immediately removed from the raceways, permanently identified as rejected material,
and removed from the jobsite. New conductors and cables shall be reinstalled, tagged
and raceways resealed, all at the Contractor’s expense.
6. Do not exceed cable manufacturer’s recommendations for maximum pulling tensions
and minimum bending radii. Where pulling compound is used, use only UL listed
compound compatible with the cable outer jacket and with the raceway involved.
7. All wire and cable installed in cable trays shall be UL Listed as Type TC, for cable tray use.
8. Where single conductors and cables in manholes, hand holes, vaults, cable trays, and
other indicated locations are not wrapped together by some other means such as arc
and fireproofing tapes, bundle throughout their exposed length all conductors entering
from each conduit with nylon, self-locking, releasable, cable ties placed at intervals not
exceeding 4 inches on center.
9. Properly support cables in accordance with the NEC and manufacturer’s
recommendations in all raceways. Provide strain relief as required.
10. Arrange wiring in cabinets and panels neatly cut to proper length, remove surplus wire,

3.00 EXECUTION
3.01 PREPARATION
A. Clear and grub the area to be excavated prior to the start of excavation in accordance with
Section 31 11 00 “Clearing and Grubbing [Civil].”
3.02 EXCAVATION
A. When footing concrete or masonry is to rest upon rock, remove the rock to a depth
sufficient to expose sound rock. Level off or cut the rock to approximate grades, and
roughen the area. When footing concrete or masonry is to rest on an excavated surface
other than rock, take care not to disturb the bottom of the excavation, and do not make
final removal of the foundation material to grade until just before the concrete is placed.
Foundation material shall be protected, after exposure, with a concrete seal slab.
B. For footings where the soil encountered at established footing grade is an unstable material,
use the following procedure unless other methods are specified: Remove unstable soil.
Carry the excavation at least 1 foot beyond the horizontal limits of the structure on all sides.
Replace the unstable soil with compacted select fill. Place in uniform layers at a suitable
depth for compaction. Wet each layer if necessary and compact by rolling or tamping to
provide a stable foundation for the structure.
C. When unfeasible to construct a stable footing as outlined above, construct footing by the
use of special materials, such as flexible base, cement stabilized base, cement stabilized
backfill, or other material, as directed by the Engineer.
Structural Excavation and Backfill 31 23 10 - 4
Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
D. Perform excavation to permit surfaces to be brought to final line and grade within plus or
minus 0.1 foot. Restore over-break at the Contractor’s expense. In general, perform
excavation in open-cut from the surface of the ground and at the line and grade indicated.
E. The sides of the excavation, from the bottom of the excavation to the top of the ground
shall be supported in accordance with OSHA requirements. Maintain the supports
throughout construction. Remove supports after the completion of the work.
3.03 DEWATERING OF SITE
A. Pumping or bailing from the interior of any foundation enclosure shall be done in a manner
which precludes the possibility of movement of water through or alongside any concrete
being placed. No pumping or bailing shall be permitted during the placing of structural
concrete, or for a period of at least 24 hours thereafter, unless from a suitable sump
separated from the concrete work by a water-tight wall. Pumping or bailing during
placement of seal concrete shall be only to the extent necessary to maintain a static head of
water within a cofferdam. Do not start pumping or bailing to de-water a sealed cofferdam
until the seal has aged at least 36 hours.
3.04 PLACEMENT OF MATERIAL
A. General:
1. Backfill excavated spaces and areas not occupied by the permanent structure, except
that no backfill shall be placed against any structure until the concrete has reached its
28-day compressive strength or 7 days whichever is longer. Do not place backfill
adjacent to support walls until the top slab has been in place at least 4 days.
2. Take care to prevent wedging action when placing backfill around structures. If backfill
is to be placed on two or more sides of the structure or facility, simultaneously place the
backfill on all sides to avoid uneven loading on the structure.
3. Do not permit rollers to operate within 3 feet of structures.
4. Maximum placement lifts measured in the loose condition are as follows:
a. 8 inches when heavy compaction equipment is used.
b. 4 inches when hand-directed compaction equipment is used.
5. Subgrade preparation for slab-on-grade:
a. Provide a 3-inch layer of compacted Fine-Graded Granular Material.
B. Moisture Control:
1. General: The materials in each layer of the fill shall uniformly contain the amount of
moisture within the limits specified below necessary to obtain the maximum dry density
for the soil. Compact On-sit Soils, Class 1 and Class 2 Earth Fill with a moisture content
of at or within 5 percentage points wet of optimum moisture content. Compact Class 3,
Class 4, and Class 5 Earth Fill with a moisture content within 2 percentage points dry to
5 percentage points wet of optimum moisture content. The moisture content ranges
specified above for the various classes of earth fill represent maximum upper and lower
limits of the particular range. Determination of the maximum dry density-optimum
moisture shall be by one or more of the following ASTM procedures D 1556 or D 6938.
Structural Excavation and Backfill 31 23 10 - 5
Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
Completely cohesionless materials which are to be compacted to a specified relative
density shall be at a moisture content which will allow use of the specified compaction
equipment and consistent achievement of the specified density.
2. Moisture Control During Placement: After spreading the soil, adjust the moisture
content of the soil if necessary by either aeration or the addition of water to bring the
moisture content within the range specified. Uniformly distribute the moisture content
throughout the layer of soil to be compacted. In order to accomplish this distribution,
thoroughly mix the layer of soil by disking, harrowing, or by the use of a power-driven
pulverizer. Should the surface of a previously compacted layer become dry due to
exposure to the elements, appropriately wet surface of the compacted layer prior to
placing the succeeding layer of soil, and properly disk or harrow the surface. Should a
layer of soil be over wet, allow the layer to dry to a proper moisture content prior to
compacting. Should the surface of a layer become smooth and hard, roughen the
surface by scarifying, and wet the surface if necessary prior to placing the next layer of
soil. Reprocess any layer which becomes damaged by weather conditions to meet the
specification requirements. There shall be no additional payment made for such
reprocessing.
C. Compaction:
1. Compaction shall be by power hand equipment or rubber tired equipment, provided the
rubber tired equipment does no damage. Compaction by power hand equipment or
rubber tired equipment shall be completed such that there will be a 24-inch overlap by
roller compaction.
2. Compact the Class 1 and Class 2 Earth Fill zones by a minimum of eight passes with a
tamping roller. Compact the Class 3, Class 4, and Class 5 Earth Fill zones by a minimum
of eight passes with a tamping roller or by a minimum of four passes with a tamping
roller, followed by a minimum of four passes with a pneumatic roller. A vibratory roller
shall be required if the material is sandy and if requested by the Engineer. A pass shall
consist of one trip over the area being compacted. The front and rear axle rollers on
self-propelled models shall only be considered as one pass per trip. The initial and final
area to be rolled shall each have eight passes. Stagger passes between the initial and
final area in order to establish overlapping with at least eight passes at all locations.
Approve the exact method based upon the test section. Dumping, spreading, sprinkling,
and compacting may be performed at the same time at different points along a section
where there is sufficient area to permit these operations to proceed simultaneously.
3. Areas of the fill being compacted with power hand tampers or vibratory plate hand
compactors shall receive a minimum of eight passes of the equipment with an overlap
of 50 percent of the equipment base plate width.
4. The in-place density of On-Site Soils and Class 1 through Class 5 Earth Fill shall not be
less than 95 percent of maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698, Standard
Proctor, except compact the top 12 inches of fill underneath roadways and parking
areas to not less than 100 percent of maximum dry density as determined by ASTM
D698, Standard Proctor. In areas cut underneath roadways and parking areas scarify
and re-compact the top 8 inches of the subgrade within the specified moisture content,
to not less than 100 percent of maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698,
Standard Proctor.
Structural Excavation and Backfill 31 23 10 - 6
Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
5. Compact cohesionless materials, on which it is not practical to control the density by
proctor methods, to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum density as determined
by ASTM D4253. At the discretion of the Engineer, an alternate method of determining
the maximum density may be used which has been correlated with methods ASTM
D4253 and ASTM D4254.
6. If necessary, to achieve the specified density, increase the number of passes of the
compaction equipment, and/or modify the weight of the compaction equipment.
7. Regardless of the density achieved, the number of passes of the compaction equipment
shall not be less than eight.
3.05 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. The Owner is responsible for the costs involved in providing an Owner approved testing
laboratory to perform quality control testing of backfill operations. The testing laboratory
shall make tests of in-place density in accordance with ASTM Standards. The testing
laboratory shall monitor backfill operation continuously or at intervals acceptable to the
Owner and Engineer at structures. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to notify
the testing laboratory before backfill operations begin.

dimension shall be increased as necessary to provide a minimum clearance of 2 inches
from the bottom of the trench to the bottom of the bells, flanges, valves, fittings, etc.
3. The entire foundation area in the bottom of all excavations shall be firm, stable
material. Loose material shall be removed, leaving a clean, flat trench bottom, and
material shall not be disturbed below required sub grade except as hereinafter
described. If the subgrade is soft, spongy, disintegrated, or the character of the
foundation materials is such that a proper foundation cannot be obtained at the
elevation specified, direct the Owner’s attention to such condition. Where directed by
the Owner, deepen the excavation to a depth where a satisfactory foundation can be
obtained. The sub grade shall then be brought back to the required grade with coarse
gravel, thoroughly compacted to 75 percent relative density as determined by ASTM
D4253 and D4254.
D. Correcting Faulty Grade: If the trench is excavated to a faulty grade (at a lower elevation

Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
unless otherwise permitted in writing by the Owner. Backfill and/or protect trenches as
necessary to prevent injury to livestock, adjacent property, Owner’s personnel, and the
public.
3.03 BACKFILL
A. Time of Backfilling: Backfill operations shall immediately follow pipe jointing, joint coating
application, and curing.
B. Braced and Sheeted Trenches: Remove sheeting and shoring as backfilling operations
progress. Incorporate methods so that a good bond is obtained between the backfill
material and the undisturbed trench walls.
C. Protection of Pipe During Backfilling Operations: Take the necessary precautions to protect
the pipe during backfilling operations. Take care to prevent damage to the pipe or to the
pipe coating, and repair any damaged pipe before it is backfilled. Backfill the trench in a
method to prevent the deformation or other deflection of the cylindrical shape of the pipe
by more than the allowable pipe deflection as specified elsewhere. Use methods such as
stulling or ellipsing as necessary.
D. Concrete Cradle, Encasement or Concrete Arch: Where indicated, install the pipe in
concrete cradle, encasement, or concrete arch. Take precautions to prevent pipe
movement or deflection during construction.
E. Concrete Blocking: Place blocking to rest against firm undisturbed trench walls. The
support area for each block shall be at least as great as that indicated in the Standard Details
and shall be sufficient to withstand the thrust, including water hammer, which may develop.
Each block shall rest on a firm undisturbed foundation of trench sides and bottom.
F. Aggregate Fill Bedding:
1. After the trench has been cut to the depths indicated, bring up the bedding layer to a
point slightly above grade in maximum 4-inch lifts and uniformly compact to the density
indicated. Form bell holes and scoop out a trough to grade so that the pipe is uniformly
supported by the embedment material. Lay and joint the pipe. Bring up the
embedment material in maximum 4-inch lifts on either side of the pipe to the elevation
above the pipe shown on the plans. Uniformly compact the material as specified below.
Water jetting shall not be permitted.

accommodates consistent placement and compaction to the minimum relative density
specified above.
8. The Contractor will arrange and pay for density and moisture testing. The testing
frequency and methods shall be as required by the Engineer. The cost of repeating
failed tests shall be borne by the Contractor. The Engineer may waive testing
requirements on cohesionless bedding where testing is not practical because of limited
space between the pipe and trench walls, however, the minimum number of passes of
the compaction equipment specified above shall be achieved.
H. Backfill Procedure for Public and Private Roads: Backfill material above the pipe zone for
existing roads including City Roads, County Roads, paved or improved private roads,
driveways, and any proposed roads as indicated shall consist of flexbase material compacted

3.00 EXECUTION
3.01 PREPARATION
A. In conformance with the typical sections, lines, and grades indicated, excavate and shape
the road bed. Remove unstable or otherwise objectionable material from the subgrade and
replace with approved material. Fill holes, ruts, and depressions with approved material.
Sprinkle the subgrade, if necessary, and reshape and roll to the extent directed in order to
place the subgrade in an acceptable condition to receive the base material. The surface of
the subgrade shall be smooth and conform to line, grade, and typical sections. Prepare
sufficient subgrade in advance to insure satisfactory prosecution of the work.
B. Utilize material excavated in the preparation of the subgrade in the construction of adjacent
shoulders and slopes or otherwise disposed of as directed. Secure any additional material
required for the completion of the shoulders and slopes from sources indicated or
designated by the Owner’s Representative.
C. Immediately before placing the base course material, check the subgrade for conformance
with the grade and typical sections indicated. The surface of the subgrade shall not show
deviation in excess of 1/4 inch in 5 feet in cross-section, nor 1/2 inch in 16 inches
longitudinally.
3.02 PLACEMENT
A. Number of Courses: Where the base course exceeds 6 inches in thickness, construct the
base course in two or more courses of equal thickness as indicated on the typical section.
B. Placing Types A, B, and C: Spread and shape the material deposited on the subgrade the
same day. Move the material at least once from the original position in which it is
deposited. In the event of inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances which
render impractical the spreading of the material during the first 24 hour period, scarify and
spread the material as directed by the Owner’s Representative. Sprinkle the material, if
directed, and then blade, drag, and shape to conform to the typical section as indicated.
Correct or replace and remove areas and “nests” of segregated course or fine material with
well graded material as directed by the Owner’s Representative. If additional binder is
considered desirable or necessary after the material is spread and shaped, furnish and apply
material in the amount directed by the Owner’s Representative. Carefully incorporate such
binder with the material in place by scarifying, harrowing, brooming, or by other approved
methods.
C. First Course (Types A, B, and C): Sprinkle the course as necessary and compact to the extent
necessary to provide not less than the percent density as hereinafter specified under
“Density.” In addition to the requirements specified for density, compact the full depth of
the flexible base to the extent necessary to remain firm and stable under construction
equipment. After each section and course of flexible base is complete, the independent
testing laboratory shall make tests of the material. If the material fails to meet the density
Aggregate Base Courses 32 11 23 - 5
Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
requirements, rework the material as necessary to meet the requirements. Throughout this
entire operation, maintain the shape of the course by blading, and smooth the surface upon
completion in conformity with the typical sections, lines, and grades indicated. On the
surface of which pavement is to be placed, correct any deviation in excess of 1/4 inch in
cross-section and in a length of 16 inches measured longitudinally by loosening, adding, or
removing material, reshaping, and re-compacting by sprinkling and rolling. Immediately
correct irregularities, depressions, or weak spots which develop by scarifying the areas
affected, adding suitable material as necessary, reshaping, and re-compacting by sprinkling
and rolling. Should the base course, due to any reason or cause, lose required stability,
density, and/or finish before the surfacing is complete, re-compact and refinish the base
course at the Contractor’s sole expense.
D. Succeeding Courses (Types A, B, and C): Use the same construction methods as prescribed
for the first course. Prior to placing the surfacing on the completed base, “dry cure” the
base to the extent directed by the Owner’s Representative.
E. Density: The density of the flexible base material shall not be less than 95 percent
maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698. Perform testing of densities of
compacted base in accordance with a method approved by the Owner’s Representative.
F. Curb and Gutter: Place and compact paving types with flexible base under the curb and
gutter at the same time and in the same operation as the flexible base under the pavement.
Place the flexible base in 6-inch maximum courses. Place and compact the first course
under both the curb and gutter and the pavement.

32 13 13 CONCRETE PAVING
1.00 GENERAL
1.01 WORK INCLUDED
A. Furnish labor, materials, equipment and incidentals necessary to construct finished
pavement of Portland cement concrete on the prepared subgrade, with reinforcement in
conformity with the plans, and as specified herein to the lines and grades as established by
the Engineer.
1.02 QUALITY ASSURANCE
A. Design Criteria:
1. The concrete shall be designed for a minimum compressive strength as indicated in
Paragraph 2.04G. Flexural strength is to be determined as a simple beam with center
point loading (ASTM C293). While concrete placing operations are in progress, beam
and cylinder specimens, of such dimension and numbers as may be required, shall be
made by the Owner’s independent testing laboratory each day. Beams and cylinders
shall be continuously cured in water until tested.
2. If the concrete fails to meet the strength requirements, as shown by the failure of any
flexural or compressive test specimen on 2 out of 3 consecutive days’ tests, increase the
cement factor in the increments of 1/2 sack per cubic yard of concrete until the strength
requirements are met and redesign the concrete mix. No increase in price or extra
compensation shall be allowed the Contractor for such increase in the cement factor.
Failure of all the test specimens, either flexural or compressive, on any day’s run of
concrete, may be cause for rejection of that particular section of pavement. In such
event, submit a redesign of the concrete mix.
3. Redesign of the concrete mix by the Contractor, when required, shall include the
required corrective measures as indicated by the deficiencies in the original design mix.
Material samples shall be resubmitted for the laboratory check of the redesign mix.
Sources of supply of materials may be changed, if desirable, at this time.
B. Concrete Mix Control: Furnish, at the Contractor’s own expense, continuous plant control
of the concrete by securing the services of an independent local testing laboratory,
sufficiently experienced. The following tests and inspections shall be required:
1. Check incoming aggregates, fine and coarse, for gradations, specific gravity, unit weight,
abrasion wear, etc.
2. Determine moisture contents of the aggregates to adjust bin weights to comply with
designs.
3. Make all concrete designs in accordance with the applicable specifications.
4. Check scales as needed for accuracy.
5. Help maintain proper slumps, as specified.
6. Send inspection reports for each day’s operations.
7. Check fibrous reinforcement for conformance as specified.
Concrete Paving 32 13 13 - 2
Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
8. If the characteristics of the aggregate furnished in the design are such that when mixed
with the minimum allowable amount of cement and the maximum allowable amount of
water, the slump and workability requirements are not met or if free water comes to
the surface of the slab during finishing operations, as specified, add mineral filler or
cement only to the limits provided in Paragraph 2.01D, or may be required to redesign
of the concrete mix. When the finishing machine has gone over an area twice and all
surface voids are not filled, the workability shall be considered as unsatisfactory,
terminate concreting operations and redesign the concrete mix.
C. Laboratory Testing:
1. Material samples submitted for approval shall be sufficiently large to permit the
Owner’s independent testing laboratory-to-laboratory batch the construction of test
beams to check the adequacy of the design. When the design mix has been approved,
there shall be no change or deviation from the proportions thereof or sources of supply
except as hereinafter provided. No concrete shall be placed on the job site until the mix
design has been approved by the Engineer in writing to the Contractor.
2. The concrete shall contain not less than 5 sacks of cement per cubic yard. Total water
shall not exceed 7 gallons per sack of cement. The mix shall be uniform and workable.
The amount of coarse aggregate (dry-loose volume) shall not be more than 85 percent
per cubic yard of concrete.
3. The net amount of water shall be the amount added at the mixer plus the free water in
the aggregate or minus the amount of water needed to compensate for absorption by
the aggregates. Free water or absorption determinations shall be based on a 30 minute
absorption period. No water allowance shall be made for evaporation after batching.
4. When gauged by the standard slump test, the settlement of the concrete shall not be
less than 3 inches nor more than 5 inches.
1.03 SUBMITTALS
A. Submittals shall be in accordance with Section 01 33 00 “Submittal Procedures.”
B. Within a period of not less than 10 days prior to the start of concreting operations, submit
to the Engineer a design of the concrete mix he proposes to use together with samples of
materials to be incorporated into the mix and a full description of the source of supply of
each material component. The design of the concrete mix shall conform to the provisions
and limitation requirements of these specifications.
C. Manufacturer’s Certified Test Reports for each lot of silicone joint sealant shipped to the
project site.

in pavements shall conform to the requirements of the governing item of this specification.
1. Batch Mixing including Material Transportation: Mix the concrete in a batch-mixer, as
indicated and only in the quantities required for immediate use. The mixing of each
batch shall continue for a period of not less than 1 minute after all materials comprising
the batch are in the mixer. The mixer discharge gate shall be locked by the automatic
timing device until the required time has elapsed. The entire contents of the drum shall
be discharged before any materials are placed therein for the succeeding batch.
Retempering or remixing shall not be permitted.
a. Batch boxes, containers, or vehicle bodies used in transporting material from the
proportioning plant to the mixers shall be tight and of a sufficient size to hold a
batch of maximum size with a margin of safety to prevent spillage. The batch must
be protected when hauling is in progress so as to positively prevent any loss of
material and minimize loss of moisture by evaporation. On long length hauls, this
may require tarpaulin covers. Partitions intended to separate batches shall be
adequate and effective in preventing material spilling from one compartment into
another while in transit or when being dumped.
b. When cement is transported in the original package, do not empty from the bags at
a greater distance from the mixer than 1000 feet.

Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
c. The mixer shall produce a concrete of uniform consistency and appearance. Correct
spilling of the mixer by reducing the size of the batch. When a 27-E mixer is used, a
maximum overload of 20 percent above the rated capacity of the mixer shall be
permitted. In other size mixers, a maximum overload of 10 percent above the rated
capacity of the mixer shall be permitted. Replace pick-up and throw-over blades
inside the mixer drum when worn down 3/4 inch.
d. When the use of a mixer of a capacity greater than that of a 27-E mixer is used,
increase the mixing time to 1-1/2 minutes.
e. Do not use concrete which has developed initial set or has been mixed longer than
30 minutes.
f. Thoroughly clean the mixer each time when out of operation for more than 30
minutes.
2. Transit Mixing: When transit mixing is used, the transit mixer shall be of an approved
revolving drum or revolving blade type so constructed as to produce a thoroughly mixed
concrete with a uniform distribution of the materials throughout the mass and shall be
equipped with a discharge mechanism which insures the discharging of the mixed
concrete without segregation.
a. The mixer drum shall be water-tight when closed and equipped with a locking
device which automatically prevents the discharging of the mixer prior to receiving
the required number of revolutions.
b. Accurately measure the entire quantity of mixing water by visible calibrated
mechanism. Leaking water valves shall be considered as ample reason for
condemnation of the mixer unit by the Engineer and removal from the job. Mix
each batch not less than 70 nor more than 100 revolutions at the rate of rotation
specified by the Manufacturer as mixing speed. Any additional mixing shall be done
at a slower speed specified by the Manufacturer for agitation, and shall be
continuous until the batch is discharged.
c. Truck mixers shall be equipped with actuated counters by which the numbers of
revolutions of the drum may be readily verified. The counters shall be actuated at
the time of starting mixing at mixing speeds.
d. The rate of delivery of the mixed concrete shall be such that the interval between
loads shall not exceed 10 minutes. Deliver the concrete to the site of the work and
discharge from the mixer within a period of 90 minutes, or before the drum has
been revolved 300 revolutions, whichever comes first, after the introduction of the
mixing water with the dry materials.
3. Central Mixing Plant: A central mixing plant shall be allowed provided the method of
mixing and handling has first been approved by the Engineer and concrete produced is
in conformity with the specification requirements as herein provided.
a. Mix the concrete in a batch mixer of approved type and in the same manner as
indicated.
b. Haul the concrete in vehicles so constructed and operated as to provide continuous
mechanical agitation during the transportation period. The rate of delivery of the
mixed concrete shall be such that the interval between loads shall not exceed 10
Concrete Paving 32 13 13 - 17
Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
minutes. Deliver the concrete to the site of the work and discharge from the
transporting vehicle within a period of 90 minutes after the introduction of water
into the batch at the central mixing plant.
4. Commercial Concrete Plants: In the event the Contractor elects to use concrete
produced by a commercial concrete plant, an agreement shall be drawn and executed
by the responsible executive management of said plant granting the Engineer ingress
and egress to all parts of the plant with full authority to have any and all required tests
of aggregates and to observe all batching plant and/or central mixing plant operations.
This regulatory access shall be applicable only to the concrete produced by the
commercial plant for the work herein specified.
3.07 CONCRETE PLACEMENT
A. Unless otherwise provided for on the plans, the full width of the finished pavement shall be
constructed monolithically. Rapidly deposit the concrete on the crushed stone drainage
course in successive batches and distribute to the required depth and for the entire width of
the pavement by shoveling or other approved methods. Where bar mats or wire mesh
reinforcing is specified, see Paragraphs 3.04 A, B and C for method of concrete placement.
Do not use rakes in handling concrete. The placing operation shall be continuous. At the
end of the day, or in case of unavoidable interruption or delay of more than 30 minutes,
place a transverse construction joint at the point of work stoppage, provided the point at
which work has been suspended is not less than 8 feet from the last regularly established
joint. If the length is less than 8 feet, remove the concrete back to the last regularly
established joint (Refer to Paragraph 3.05C).
1. Inspection: Before placing concrete, inspect and complete formwork installation, steel
reinforcement, and items to be embedded or cast in. Notify other trades to permit
installation of their work.
2. Remove snow, ice, or frost from subbase surface and reinforcement before placing
concrete. Do not place concrete on frozen surfaces.
3. Moisten subbase to provide a uniform dampened condition at time concrete is placed.
Do not place concrete around manholes or other structures until they are at required
finish elevation and alignment.
4. Comply with ACI 301 requirements for measuring, mixing, transporting, and placing
concrete.
5. Do not add water to concrete during delivery or at Project site.
6. Do not add water to fresh concrete after testing.
7. Deposit and spread concrete in a continuous operation between transverse joints. Do
not push or drag concrete into place or use vibrators to move concrete into place.
8. Consolidate concrete according to ACI 301 by mechanical vibrating equipment
supplemented by hand spading, rodding, or tamping.
a. Consolidate concrete along face of forms and adjacent to transverse joints with an
internal vibrator. Keep vibrator away from joint assemblies, reinforcement, or side
forms. Use only square-faced shovels for hand spreading and consolidation.
Concrete Paving 32 13 13 - 18
Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
Consolidate with care to prevent dislocating reinforcement, dowels, and joint
devices.
9. Screed pavement surfaces with a straightedge and strike off.
10. Commence initial floating using bull floats or darbies to impart an open textured and
uniform surface plane before excess moisture or bleed water appears on the surface.
Do not further disturb concrete surfaces before beginning finishing operations or
spreading surface treatments.
11. Curbs and Gutters: When automatic machine placement is used for curb and gutter
placement, submit revised mix design and laboratory test results that meet or exceed
requirements. Produce curbs and gutters to required cross section, lines, grades, finish,
and jointing as specified for formed concrete. If results are not approved, remove and
replace with formed concrete.
12. Slip-Form Pavers: When automatic machine placement is used for pavement, submit
revised mix design and laboratory test results that meet or exceed requirements.
Produce pavement to required thickness, lines, grades, finish, and jointing as required
for formed pavement.
a. Compact subbase and prepare subgrade of sufficient width to prevent displacement
of paver machine during operations.
13. When adjoining pavement lanes are placed in separate pours, do not operate
equipment on concrete until pavement has attained 85 percent of its 28-day
compressive strength.
14. Cold-Weather Placement: Comply with ACI 306.1 and as follows. Protect concrete work
from physical damage or reduced strength that could be caused by frost, freezing
actions, or low temperatures.
a. When air temperature has fallen to or is expected to fall below 40 F (4.4 C),
uniformly heat water and aggregates before mixing to obtain a concrete mixture
temperature of not less than 50 F (10 C) and not more than 80 F (27 C) at point of
placement.
b. Do not use frozen materials or materials containing ice or snow.
c. Do not use calcium chloride, salt, or other materials containing antifreeze agents or
chemical accelerators unless otherwise specified and approved in mix designs.
15. Hot-Weather Placement: Comply with ACI 301 and as follows when hot-weather
conditions exist:
a. Cool ingredients before mixing to maintain concrete temperature below 90 F (32 C)
at time of placement. Chilled mixing water or chopped ice may be used to control
temperature, provided water equivalent of ice is calculated to total amount of
mixing water. Using liquid nitrogen to cool concrete is Contractor’s option.
b. Cover steel reinforcement with water-soaked burlap so steel temperature will not
exceed ambient air temperature immediately before embedding in concrete.
c. Fog-spray forms, steel reinforcement, and subgrade just before placing concrete.
Keep subgrade moisture uniform without standing water, soft spots, or dry areas.
Concrete Paving 32 13 13 - 19
Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
3.08 FINISHING
A. Machine Finishing:
1. When the concrete has been deposited, level and strike off concrete to such elevation
that when mechanically screeded and tamped the concrete is thoroughly compacted
and finished to the required line, grade, and section with surface voids filled. Where bar
mats or wire mesh reinforcing is specified, see Paragraph 3.04 A and B for method of
procedure.
2. After the finishing machine has processed the concrete surface, use the longitudinal
float on the surface. Operate the float from parallel bridges or float carriages moving on
the side forms. Operate the float transversely across the slab with a sawing motion,
always maintaining the float parallel to the center line of the pavement, in such a
manner as to remove variations in the surface. Add concrete to fill minor depressions, if
needed, during the longitudinal floating operation. The longitudinal float shall not be
moved ahead more than one-half its length at each time. The longitudinal float must be
maintained straight and free from warp at all times. Take care to preserve the true
cross-section of the pavement.
3. While the concrete is still workable, test for irregularities with a 10-foot straightedge
placed parallel to the center line of the pavement so as to bridge depressions and to
touch high spots. Ordinates measured from the face of the straightedge to the surface
of the pavement shall at no place exceed 1/16 inch per foot from the nearest point of
contact, and in no case shall the maximum ordinate to a 10-foot straightedge be greater
than 1/8 inch. Rework and refinish any surface not within the tolerance limits.
4. While the concrete is still workable, give the surface final belting in order to produce a
uniform surface of gritty texture. This belting shall be of short, rapid, transverse strokes
combined with a longitudinal sweeping motion. When the burlap drag is permitted in
lieu of the belting, accomplish the burlap drag finish by drawing a wet drag over the
surface in a longitudinal direction to produce a uniform surface of a gritty nature.
5. Carefully tool the edges of slabs and joints requiring edging with an edger, of the radius
required by the plans, at the time the concrete begins to set and becomes non-
workable. Leave work smooth and true to lines.
B. Hand Finishing:
1. Hand finishing shall be permitted only in intersections, driveways, and parking areas
inaccessible to a finishing machine.
2. When the hand method of striking off and consolidating is permitted, level and strike off
the concrete, as soon as placed, and screed to such elevation above grade that when
consolidated and finished the surface of the pavement is at the grade elevation shown
on the plans. Vibrate the entire surface to consolidate the concrete so as to insure
maximum compaction and a minimum of voids. For the strike off and consolidation,
provide both a strike template and tamping template on the work. Once in operation,
move the strike template forward with a combined longitudinal and transverse motion
and manipulate so that neither end of the template is raised from the forms during the
striking off process. Keep a slight excess of material in front of the cutting edge at all
times.
Concrete Paving 32 13 13 - 20
Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
3. The longitudinal floating, straight edging, belting, and joint finishing shall be as specified
above.
3.09 CURING
A. The curing of concrete pavement shall be thorough and continuous throughout the entire
curing period. Failure to provide proper curing as specified herein shall be considered
sufficient cause for immediate suspension of the paving operations. The curing method
specified herein does not preclude the use of any of the other commonly used methods of
curing, and the Engineer may approve them if so requested by the Contractor. If any
selected method of curing does not afford the desired results, the Engineer shall have the
right to order that another method of curing be instituted. Immediately after the finishing
of the surface, cover the pavement with a continuous, uniform, water-impermeable coating.
The impermeable coating shall be of the type specified in Paragraph 2.04D. After removal of
the side forms, the sides of the slab shall receive a like coating before earth is banked
against them. Apply the solution under pressure with a spray nozzle in such a manner as to
cover the entire surfaces thoroughly and completely with a uniform film.
B. The rate of application shall be such as to ensure complete coverage and shall not exceed
200 square feet per gallon of curing compound when applied mechanically and 150 square
feet per gallon of curing compound when applied by hand sprayers. When thoroughly dry, it
shall provide a continuous and flexible membrane, free from cracks or pinholes, and shall
not disintegrate, check, peel, or crack during the curing period. If for any reason the seal is
broken during the curing period, immediately repair the seal with additional sealing
solution.
C. When tested in accordance with ASTM C156, the curing compound shall provide a film
which will have retained within the test specimen the following percentages of the moisture
present in the specimen when the curing compound was applied:
Curing Compound – Moisture Retained
Time Retained Moisture
(Min.)
After 24 hours 97%
After 3 days 95%
After 7 days 91%
3.10 CLEANING JOINTS
A. Immediately after sawing the joint, completely remove the resulting slurry from the joint
and clean the immediate area by flushing with a jet of water under pressure, and by the use
of other tools as necessary. After flushing, blow out the joint with compressed air. When
the surfaces are thoroughly clean and dry and just before the joint sealer is placed, use
compressed air having a pressure of at least 90 psi to blow out the joint and remove traces
of dust. Equip air compressors, used for cleaning joints, with suitable traps capable of
removing surplus water and oil in the compressed air.
B. In the event freshly cut sawed joints become contaminated before they are sealed, reclean
the joints as outlined above.
Concrete Paving 32 13 13 - 21
Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
C. Cleaning methods shall not alter the joint profile, including rounding of the top corners, or
alter the texture of the concrete riding surface. Accomplish cleaning of the joint faces by
sandblasting.
3.11 INSTALLING BACKER-ROD IN JOINT
A. Prior to placing the backer-rod, thoroughly dry and clean the joint. Complete any necessary
cleaning, air blasting, or air-drying before placing backer-rod and sealant. If backer-rod
specified for applicable joint detail are on joints less than 1 inch wide after cleaning, install a
round backer-rod of resilient material, compatible with silicone sealant, and slightly
oversized to prevent movement during the sealing operation in the joint at the depth
specified on the appropriate joint detail in the plans. The thickness of the backer-rod shall
be greater after squeezing it into the joint and some “rebound” may occur allowance must
be made for this to ensure placing at correct depth. Backer-rod shall be a readily
compressible, non-reactive, non-absorptive type material such as expanded closed cell
polyethylene foam rod.
3.12 INSTALLING SILICONE SEALANT
A. The installation of the silicone sealant is to be done as soon after cleaning and after placing
the backer-rod as reasonably possible to ensure that joint is still clean and dry. In the event
the joint does become contaminated, damp, or wet, remove the backer-rod, clean and dry
the joint, and reinstall a new backer-rod prior to placing the sealant material. The sealant
material used shall be a low modulus silicone sealant material as specified. The
temperature of the concrete surface and air at time of placement must be 40 F or higher.
Apply the silicone sealant by pumping only.
B. The pump shall be of sufficient capacity to deliver the necessary volume of material to
completely fill the joint to the specified width and height of sealant in one pass. The nozzle
shall be of sufficient size and shape to closely fit into the joint and introduce the sealant
inside the joint with sufficient pressure to prevent voids occurring in the sealant and to force
the sealant into contact with the joint faces. Tool the sealant, after being placed, to provide
the specified recess depth, thickness, and shape of sealant. Apply sufficient force or
pressure to the sealant in this tooling operation to force the sealant against the joint faces
to ensure satisfactory wetting and bonding of the sealant to the joint faces. The silicone
sealant is not self-leveling and will not position itself correctly in the joint under its own
weight. Place the sealant to reasonably close conformity with the dimensions and shape
shown on the plans. Any unreasonable deviation shall be cause for rejection and necessary
corrective action shall be made by the Contractor.
3.13 PAVEMENT TOLERANCES
A. Comply with tolerances of ACI 117 and as follows:
1. Elevation: 1/4 inch.
2. Thickness: Plus 3/8 inch, minus 1/4 inch.
3. Surface: Gap below 10-foot long, unleveled straightedge not to exceed 1/4 inch.
4. Lateral Alignment and Spacing of Tie Bars and Dowels: 1 inch.
5. Vertical Alignment of Tie Bars and Dowels: 1/4 inch.
Concrete Paving 32 13 13 - 22
Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements DTN18104
6. Alignment of Tie-Bar End Relative to Line Perpendicular to Pavement Edge: 1/2 inch.
7. Alignment of Dowel-Bar End Relative to Line Perpendicular to Pavement Edge: Length
of dowel 1/4 inch per 12 inches.
8. Joint Spacing: 3 inches.
9. Contraction Joint Depth: Plus 1/4 inch, no minus.
10. Joint Width: Plus 1/8 inch, no minus.
3.14 PAVEMENT MARKING
A. Do not apply pavement-marking paint until layout, colors, and placement have been verified
with Engineer.
B. Allow concrete pavement to cure for 28 days and be dry before starting pavement marking.
C. Sweep and clean surface to eliminate loose material and dust.
D. Apply paint with mechanical equipment to produce pavement markings of dimensions
indicated with uniform, straight edges. Apply at manufacturer’s recommended rates to
provide a minimum wet film thickness of 15 mils.
3.15 OPENING PAVEMENT TO TRAFFIC
A. Exclude traffic from the pavement for a period of not less than 14 days unless the Engineer
directs that sections be opened to traffic at an earlier date. On sections of the pavement
where the use of Type III cement is required, or permitted, the pavement may be opened to
traffic after 4 days. Should tests of beam specimens show a flexural strength of not less
than 500 pounds per square inch, the Engineer may direct that the pavement so
represented be opened to traffic in less than 14 days and for Type III cement in less than 4
days. In all cases, clean the pavement and fill and trim the joints before opening to public.
B. When it is necessary to provide for traffic across the pavement, construct, at the
Contractor’s own expense, suitable and substantial crossings over the concrete which will be
adequate for the traffic using same.
C. Opening pavement to traffic shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for the work
and shall not in any way affect the time charge on the entire project. The number of days
stated in the contract shall govern for the completion of the entire work covered by the
contract.
3.16 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL; TESTING OF MATERIALS
A. Samples of all materials for test shall be made at the expense of the Owner. In the event
the initial sampling and testing does not comply with the specifications, all subsequent
testing of the material in order to determine if the material is acceptable, shall be at the
Contractor’s expense at the same rate charged by the commercial laboratories.
1. Testing Agency: Engage a qualified independent testing and inspecting agency to
perform field tests and inspections and prepare test reports.
2. Testing Services: Testing of composite samples of fresh concrete obtained according to

with the applicable ASTM Specification. A certificate of compliance with ISO 9000 shall be
furnished, by the manufacturer for all material furnished under this Section. Polyethylene
plastic pipe and fittings may be rejected for failure to meet any of the requirements of this
Section.
3.00 EXECUTION
3.01 HANDLING
A. The joints shall be handled near the middle with wide web slings and spreader bars. Rope
slings also work well with straight lengths. The use of chains, end hooks or cable slings that
may scar the pipe are not permitted. The following procedures shall be observed when
handling HDPE pipe.
1. Always stack the heaviest series of pipe at the bottom.
2. Protect the pipe from sharp edges when overhanging the bed of a truck or trailer by
placing a smooth, rounded protecting strip on the edge of the bed.
3. The load should be anchored securely to prevent slippage.
B. Lengths of small-diameter, lightweight pipe can be unloaded manually.
C. Pipe applications shall normally be handled by:
1. Unloading the pipe from the truck in a row along the side of the installation area and
moving the fusion unit along the row of joints.
2. Stacking the pipe beside the fusion unit and trailing the pipe out after fusion, then
dragging the long length of pipe into place for installation. It is suggested that as the
pipe is fused and moved through the fusion machine, additional joints of pipe should be
placed in the moveable jaw side of the machine for each subsequent fusion. This
prevents the hydraulic system of the machine from having to pull the previously fused
long length.
D. Dragging the pipe into place is permitted provided the pipe isn’t damaged from sharp rocks
or excessive abrasion created by pulling the pipe great distances.
3.02 STORAGE
A. If the pipe must be stacked for storage, avoid excessive stacking heights. Out-of-roundness
can be created in the lower rows of pipe, due to excessive stacking heights. The limitation
on storage height is 8 rows for pipe 6 inches or less, 3 rows for pipe 8 inches or less, 2 rows
for pipe 32 inches or less and 1 row for pipe 63 inches or less.
HDPE Piping 33 31 13.16 - 4
DTN18104 – Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements
B. Care shall be taken to ensure that the pipe is stacked in straight rows. The expansion and
contraction caused by uneven heating by the sunlight shall be prevented by restraining the
racks.
C. Pipe laid directly on the ground shall be placed on an area free of loose stones or sharp
objects. Scarring or gouging of the pipe shall be avoided.
3.03 PIPE JOINING
A. The polyethylene pipe shall be assembled and joined at the Site using the thermal butt-
fusion method to provide a leak proof joint. Threaded or solvent-cement joints and
connections are not permitted. All equipment and procedures used shall be in strict
compliance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Fusing shall be accomplished by
personnel certified as fusion technicians by a manufacturer of polyethylene pipe and/or
fusing equipment.
B. The butt-fused joint shall be in true alignment and shall have uniform roll-back beads
resulting from the use of proper temperature and pressure. The joint shall be allowed
adequate cooling time before removal of pressure. When cool, all weld beads shall then be
removed from both the inside and outside surface such that the joint surfaces shall be
smooth. The fused joint shall be watertight and shall have a tensile strength equal to that of
the pipe. All joints shall be subject to acceptance by the Owner’s Project Representative. All
defective joints shall be cut out and replaced at no cost to the Owner. Any section of the
pipe with a gash, blister, abrasion, nick, scar or other deleterious fault greater in depth than
10 percent of the wall thickness, shall not be used and must be removed from the Site.
However, a defective area of the pipe may be cut out and the joint fused in accordance with
the procedures stated above. In addition, any section of pipe having other defects such as
concentrated ridges, discoloration, excessive spot roughness, pitting, variable wall thickness
or any other defect of manufacturing or handling as determined by the Owner’s Project
Representative shall be discarded and not used.
3.04 BENDING PIPE
A. HDPE may be cold-bent to a minimum radius of 40 times the pipe diameter as it is installed,
eliminating the need in many cases for elbows for slight bends. The minimum bending
radius that can be applied to the pipe without kinking varies with the diameter and wall
thickness of the pipe. Contractor shall conform to manufacturer’s recommendations. If
adequate space is not available for the required radius, a fitting of the desired angle shall be
fused into the piping system to obtain the necessary change in direction.
3.05 INSTALLATION BELOW GROUND
A. Pipe Laying:
1. When pulling pipe, either a pulling head or a suitable wraparound sleeve with rubber
protective cover shall be used to prevent the pulling cables from damaging the pipe.
The pipe shall not be pulled by the flanged end.
2. Open cut installations shall be in accordance with Section 31 23 33.19 “Trenching and
Backfill.”
HDPE Piping 33 31 13.16 - 5
DTN18104 – Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant Phase II Improvements
B. Grouting (Continuous or at Manholes): Pipe running through a manhole wall shall be
anchored by attaching a collar or side fused branch saddles to the pipe and encasing them in
the wall of the manhole.
3.06 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Testing shall be as specified in Section 01 45 23 “Testing and Inspection Services.”
B. Hydrostatic Testing for pressure piping systems shall be performed in accordance with ASTM
F2164. Testing pressure shall not exceed 1.5 times the system design pressure and total
testing time including the time required to pressurize, stabilize, hold test pressure, and
depressurize should not exceed 8 hours. If 5 psi is lost during testing pipeline must be re-
pressurized.
C. HDPE pipe deflection shall not exceed deflection percentages identified in ASTM F1962 or
manufacturer’s maximum allowable deflection, whichever is lower. Allowable pipe
deflection varies based on DR rating. The following maximum deflection percentages can be
used for the following DR ratings: DR21 – 7.5 percent, DR17 – 6.0 percent, DR15.5 – 6.0
percent, DR13.5 – 6.0 percent, DR11 – 5.0 percent, DR9 – 4.0 percent, DR7.3 – 3.0 percent.
Deflection measurements can be taken by mandrel or by measurement of inside diameter
before and after backfill operations.
D. Do not enclose or cover any Work until inspected.
3.07 CLEAN AND ADJUST
A. Remove surplus pipeline materials, tools, rubbish and temporary structures and leave the
construction site clean, to the satisfaction of the Owner’s Project Representative.
