and fittings indicated, specified and/or necessary to complete the work.
2. All excavation shalt provide an open area conforming to the outside diameter of
the casing and/or carrier conduit. The excavation shall be to an alignment and
grade which will allow the carrier conduit to be installed to proper line and grade as
shown on the Plans and as established in the Specifications.
3. Work shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Fort
Worth Water Department, the Texas Department of Transportation, or railroad
company, as applicable.
d. MATERIALS:
1. Casing Pipe: Casing pipe shall be steel conforming to ANSI B36.10 and the
following:
a. Field Strength: 35,000 psi minimum.
11/02/04 Revised ASC-5R Addendum 1
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
b. Wall thickness: 0.312 in, minimum (0.5 for railroad crossings).
C. Diameter: As shown on the drawings (minimum size requirements).
d. Joints: Continuous circumferential weld in accordance with AWS D1.1.
2. Carrier Pipe in Casing: Carrier pipe shall be as shown on drawings and as
specified in the General Contract Documents.
3. Sewer Pipe without Casing Pipe: Shall be minimum Class 51 ductile iron pipe, or
as designated on the plans.
4. Grout: Grout shall be Portland Cement grout of min. 2000 psi compressive
strength at 28 days. Proportioned not less than 1 cu. ft, of cement to 3 cu. ft. of
fine sand with sufficient water added to provide a free flowing thick slurry.
e. EXECUTION
1. Where sewer pipe is required to be installed under railroad embankments or under
highways, streets or other facilities in other than open cut, construction shall be
performed in such a manner so as to not interfere with the operation of the
railroad, street, highway, or other facility, and so as not to weaken or damage any
embankment or structure. During construction operations, barricades and lights to
safeguard traffic and pedestrians shall be furnished and maintained, until such
time as the backfill has been completed and then shall be removed from the site.
2. Pits and Trenches:
a. If the grade of the pipe at the end is below the ground surface, suitable pits
or trenches shall be excavated for the purpose of conducting the jacking or
tunneling operations and for placing end joints of the pipe. Wherever end
trenches are cut in the sides of the embankment or beyond it, such work
shall be sheeted securely and braced in a manner to prevent earth from
caving in.
b. The location of the pit shall meet the approval of the Engineer.
C. The pits of trenches excavated to facilitate these operations shall be
backfilled immediately after the casing and carrier pipe installation has
been completed.
3. Boring and Jacking Steel Casing Pipe: Steel casing pipe shall be installed by
boring hole with the earth auger and simultaneously jacking pipe into place.
a. The boring shall proceed from a pit provided for the boring equipment and
t workmen. The holes are to be bored mechanically. The boring shall be
done using a pilot hole. By this method an approximate 2-inch hole shall
be bored the entire length of the crossing and shall be checked for line and
grade on the opposite end of the bore from the work pit. This pilot hole
shall serve as the centerline of the larger diameter hole to be bored. Other
11/02/04 Revised ASC-6R Addendum 1
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
methods of maintaining line and grade on the casing may be approved if
acceptable to the Engineer. Excavated material shall be placed near the
top of the working pit and disposed of as required. The use of water or
other fluids in connection with the boring operation will be permitted only to
the extent required to lubricate cuttings. Jetting or sluicing will not be
permitted.
b. In unconsolidated soil formations, a gel-forming colloidal drilling fluid
consisting of at least 10 percent of high grade carefully processed
bentonite may be used to consolidate cuttings of the bit, seal the walls of
the hole, and furnish lubrication for subsequent removal of cuttings and
installation of the pipe immediately thereafter.
C. Allowable variation from the line and grade shall be as specified under
paragraph A.2. All voids between bore and outside of casing shall be
pressure grouted.
4. Installation of Carrier Pipe in Casing:
a. Sanitary sewer pipe located within the encasement pipe shall be supported
by "skids" or "bands" to prevent the pipe and bells from snagging on the
inside of the casing, and to keep the installed line from resting on the bells.
b. All skids shall be treated with a wood preservative. Skids should extend for
the full length of the pipe with the exception of the bell area and spigot area
necessary for assembly unless otherwise specified.
C. The Contractor shall prevent over-belting the pipe while installing it through
the casing. A method of restricting the movement between the assembled
bell and spigot where applicable shall be provided.
d. Af all bored, jacked, or tunneled installations, the annular space between
the carrier pipe and casing shall be filled with grout. Care must be taken
that not too much water is forced into the casing so as not to float the pipe.
The backfill material will not be required unless specified on the plans and
specified by the Engineer.
e. Closure of the casing after the pipe has been installed shall be plugged at
the ends of the casing as shown on the drawings or as required by the
Engineer.
5. Boring and Jacking Ductile Iron Pipe without Casing Pipe:
_. a. As indicated on drawings and as required and directed by the Engineer
sewer shall be constructed of bore and jacked ductile iron pipe.
b. When a casing pipe is not designated on the drawings, the contractor shall
provide a casing pipe if necessary to achieve line and grade. Casing pipe
shall be provided at no additional cost and shall be subsidiary to the cost
bid for installation By Other than Open Cut.
11/02104 Revised ASC-7R Addendum 1
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
C. Bore and jack in accordance with paragraph C.3. above.
d. Short length of sewer consisting of a single pipe section may be installed
by jacking without a bore hole if permitted by the Engineer and in soft soil
layer. All voids outside of installed pipe shall be pressure grouted.
6. Tunneling: Where the characteristics of the soil, the size of the proposed pipe, or
the use of monolithic sewer would make the use of tunneling more satisfactory
than jacking or boring, or when shown on the plans, a tunneling method may be
used, with the approval of the Engineer or railroad/highway officials.
a. When tunneling is permitted, the lining of the tunnel shall be of sufficient
Strength of support the overburden. The Contractor shall submit the
proposed liner method to the Engineer for approval. The tunnel liner
design shall bear the seal of a licensed professional engineer in the State
t of Texas. Approval by the Engineer shall not relieve the Contractor of the
responsibility for the adequacy of the liner method.
b. The space between the tunnel liner and the limits of excavation shall be
pressure grouted or mud jacked.
C. Access holes for placing concrete shall be space at maximum intervals of
10 feet.
f. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT: Installation of pipe by other than open cut will be
measured by the linear foot of pipe, complete in place. Such measurement will be made
between the ends of the pipe along the central axis as installed. The work performed and
materials furnished as prescribed by this item will be paid for at the Contract Unit Price bid
per linear foot for Pipe Installed by Other Than Open Cut of the type, size, and class of
pipe specified as shown on plans. The furnishing of all materials, pipe, liner materials
required for installation, for all preparation, hauling and installing of same, and for all
labor, tools, equipment and incidentals necessary to complete the work, including

A. GENERAL
Scope. This section describes manhole testing to effectively confirm the watertight integrity of
existing manholes following structural ,infiltration and inflow related repairs and that the appearance
of the work is acceptable.
Description:
Infiltration may be observed in manhole defects at manhole walls, pipe seals or bench/trough areas.
Infiltration related repairs are intended to eliminate leakage of groundwater into manholes,
Inflow may be observed in manhole defects at manhole frames, covers,frame seals, grade
adjustments, grade adjustment seals, corbels, or walls. Inflow related repairs are intended to
eliminate sources of surface water entry that become active during rainfall events.
Structural repairs may be required when making 1/1 related manhole repairs, Structural repairs may
include defects in any manhole components but not displaying 1/1.
Testing, Observations and Guarantee Periods:
11/02/04 Revised ASC-12R Addendum 1
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
The testing required shall be performed by the Contractor at locations designated by the Engineer
and documented to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Any new or rehabilitated manholes that are observed to be leaking by the Engineer during periods
of high groundwater or during inflow conditions shall be subject to additional repairs, The Contractor
shall be responsible for all additional repairs required on these unsatisfactory manholes during the
guarantee period.
All manhole rehabilitation work shall be warranted to be free of defects and of good workmanship
for a minimum of three(3)years from the date of final acceptance of the project Any manhole
repairs completed by the Contractor which fail during the warranty period shall be repaired to the
satisfaction of the City at no additional cost to the City.
B. MATERIALS- Not specified.
C. EXECUTION
Infiltration Testing_
All interior coated manholes and all partial replacement manholes shall be observed (tested)by the
Contractor in the presence of the Engineer for sources of infiltration. Observations will be made
during high groundwater conditions,wherever possible.
Manholes shall be tested after installation with all connections(e)isting and/or proposed)in place.
Drop-connections and gas sealing connections shall be installed prior to testing. The lines entering
the manhole shall be temporarily plugged with the plugs braced to prevent them from being drawn
into the manhole. The plugs shall be installed in the lines beyond drop-connections, gas sealing
connections, etc. The test head shall be placed inside the frame at the top of the manhole(so that
the manhole frame seal is tested)and inflated in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. A vacuum of 10 inches of mercury shall be drawn, and the vacuum pump will be
turned off. With the valve closed, the level of vacuum shall be read after the required test time. If
the drop in the level is less than 1-inch of mercury(final vacuum greater than 9-inches of mercury),
the manhole will have passed the vacuum test. After a successful test, the temporary plugs will be
removed. The required test time is determined from Table 1.

**For all Manholes over 18 feet in depth, add "T"seconds as shown for each respective diameter
for each two feet of additional depth of manhole to the time shown for that 18 foot depth. [Example:
A 30 (thirty)foot deep,48 (forty-eight)inch Manhole Total Test Time would be 75.0 seconds.
45.0+6(5.0)-75.0 seconds] (Values listed above are extrapolated from ASTM C924-85).
Manhole vacuum levels observed to drop greater than 1-inch of mercury(Final vacuum less than 9-
inches of mercury)will have failed the test and will require additional rehabilitation. The Contractor
shall make the necessary repairs to the already completed rehabilitation work at no additional
compensation. If the failure of the vacuum test is determined to be due to preexisting conditions not
on the manhole rehabilitation schedule for that manhole, this additional work may be authorized by
the Owner's Representative. After completion of the additional rehabilitation the manhole shall then
be re-tested as described above until a successful test is made. Only one payment for manhole
vacuum testing will be made on each manhole.
Vacuum testing is required on all manholes having interior rehabilitation.
Inflow Testing:
All partially rehabilitated manholes shall be dyed water tested unless the manhole has successfully
passed the vacuum test. Manholes shall be dyed water tested in the presence of the Engineer.
The dye test shall consist of applying a concentrated dye solution around the manhole frame. Dyed
water shall be applied for at least ten minutes.
Manholes observed to be actively leaking greater than one drip per five seconds will have failed the
test and will not be acceptable. Manholes failing the test will require additional rehabilitation by the
Contractor at no additional compensation.
Other Testing:
One (1) rehabilitated manhole will be randomly selected for further testing. A laboratory selected by
the City will take core samples of wall sections of manholes with wall coatings. Testing of the core
samples will be done to evaluate material thickness, compressive strength,flexural strength and
slant shear bond strength. The following are the minimum required strengths for cementitious and
non-cementitious wall coatings:
Compressive Strength. Compressive strength shall conform to ASTM C 495 and C 109 and shall
meet or exceed a minimum 28-day break of 4,000 psi.
Flexural Strength.Flexural strength shall conform to ASTM C 348 and shall meet or exceed a
minimum 28-daybreak of 1,200 psi.
Slant Shear Bond Strength. Slant shear bond strength shall conform to ASTM 882 modified and
shall meet or exceed a minimum 28-day break of 2,400 psi.
If the manhole tested fails to pass any of these requirements,another manhole shall be selected and
tested. If the second manhole fails,the City may,at its option,stop work until the Contractor can
provide assurance that testing requirements can be met.
Guarantee:
11/02/04 Revised ASC-14R Addendum 1

b) All mortar and other foreign materials shall be removed from lining surfaces adjacent
to the pipe joint, leaving them clean and dry,
c) Field joints in the lining at pipe joints may be either of the following described types:
Type P-1: The joint shall be made with a separate 4-inch (100-mm)joint strip and two
welding strips. The 4-inch (100-mm) joint strip shall be centered over the joint, heat-
sealed to the lining, then welded along each edge to adjacent liner sheets with a 1-
inch (25-mm) weld strip. The 4-inch (100-mm) joint strip shall iap over each sheet a
minimum of Y2 inch (13 mm).
,.� Type P-2 The joint shall be made with a joint flap with locking extensions removed
per Paragraph 2.6 D and extending approximately 4 inches (100 mm) beyond the pipe
end. The joint flap shall overlap the lining in the adjacent pipe section a minimum of%
inch (13 mm) and be heat-sealed in place prior to welding. The field joint shall be
completed by welding the flap to the lining of the adjacent pipe using 1-inch (25-mm)
weld strip.
Care shall be taken to protect the flap from damage. Excessive tension and distortion
in bending back the flap to expose the pipe during laying and joint mortaring shall be
avoided. At temperatures below 50° F (10° C), heating of the liner may be required to
avoid damage.
d) The joint flap or strip on beveled pipe shall be trimmed to a width (measured from the
end of the spigot) of approximately 4 inches (100 mm) for the entire circumferential
length of the lining.
e) All welding of joints is to be in strict conformance with the specifications and
instructions of the lining manufacture. Welding shall fuse both sheets and weld strip
together to provide a continuous joint equal in corrosion resistance and impermeability
to the liner plate. Hot air welding tools shall provide effluent air to the sheets to be
joined at a temperature between 500° and 600°F (2600 and 316° C). Welding tools
shall be held approximately Y2 inch (13 mm) from and moved back and forth over the

junction of the two materials to be joined. The welding tool shall be moved slowly
enough as the weld progresses to cause a small bead of molten material to be visible
along both edges and in front of the weld strip.
Q The following special requirement shall apply when the liner coverage is 360 degrees:
When groundwater is encountered the lining joint shall not be made until pumping of
groundwater has been discontinued for at least three days and no visible leakage is
evident at the joint. When welding the downstream side of a joint strip or flap, do not
weld 6 to 8 inches (150 to 200 mm) at the pipe invert to provide relief of potential
future groundwater buildup.
4. Application to cast-in-place concrete structures - Special requirements.
a) Linear sheets shall be closely fitted and properly secured to the inner forms. Sheets
shall be cut to fit curved and warped surfaces using a minimum number of separate
pieces.
b) Unless otherwise shown on the plans, the lining shall be returned at least 3 inches (75
mm) at the surfaces of contact between the concrete structure and items not of
concrete (including manhole frames, gate guides, clay pipe or brick manholes and clay
or cast iron pipes). The same procedure shall be followed at joints where the type of
protective lining is changed or the new work is built to join existing unlined concrete. At
each return, the returned liner shall be seated to the item in contact with the plastic-
lined concrete using Amer-Plate 19Y adhesive system. If the liner cannot be sealed
with this adhesive because of the joint at the return being too wide or rough or
because of safety regulations, the joint space shall be densely caulked with lead wool
or other approved caulking material to a depth of 2 inches (50 mm) and finished with a
- minimum of 1 inch (25 mm)of an approved corrosion resistant material.
5. Joints in lining for cast-in-place concrete structures.
a) Lining at joints shall be free of all mortar and other foreign material and shall be clean
and dry before joints are made.
b) Field joints in the lining shall be of the following described types, used as prescribed:
Type C-1: The joint shall be made with a separate 4-inch (100-mm)joint strip and two
welding strips. The 4-inch (100-mm) joint strip shall be centered over the joint, heat-
sealed to the liner then welded along each edge to adjacent sheets with a 1-inch (25-
mm) wide welding strip. The width of the space between adjacent sheets shall not
exceed 2 inches (50 mm). The 4-inch (100-mm)joint strip shall lap over each sheet a
minimum of Y2 inch (13 mm). It may be used at any transverse or longitudinal joint.
Type C-2 The joint shall be made by lapping sheets not less than Y2 inch (13 mm).
One 1-inch (25-mm) welding strip is required. The upstream sheet shall overlap the
one'downstream. The lap shall be heat-sealed into place prior to welding on the 1-inch
(25-mm)welding strip.
Type C-3: The joint shall be made by applying 2-inch (50-mm)-wide waterproof tape
or 1-inch (25-mm)-wide welding strip on the back of the maximum %-inch (6-mm) gap
butt joint or by some other method approved by the engineer to prevent wet concrete
11/02/04 Revised ASC-35R Addendum 1
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
from getting under the sheet. After the forms have been stripped, a 1-inch (25 mm)
welding strip shall be applied over the face of the sheet,
c) All welding is to be in strict conformance with the specifications of the lining
manufacturer and Paragraph 3.3 E.
6. Testing and repairing damaged surfaces.
a) After the pipe is installed in the trench, all surfaces covered with lining, including
welds, shall be tested with an approved electrical holiday detector (Tinker & Rasor
Model No. AP-W with power pack) with the instrument set between 18,00 and 22,00
volts.
All welds shall be physically tested by a nondestructive probing method. All patches
over holes, or repairs to the liner wherever damage has occurred, shall be
accomplished in accordance with Paragraph 3.1 H.
b) Each transverse welding strip which extends to a lower edge of the liner will be tested
by the purchasing agency. The welding strips shall extend 2 inches(50 mm) below the
liner to provide a tab, A 10-pound (5kg) pull will be applied to each tab. The force will
be applied normal to the face of the structure by means of a spring balance. Liner
adjoining the welding strip will be held against the concrete during application of the
force. The 10-pound (5 kg) pull will be maintained if a weld failure develops, until no
further separation occurs. Defective welds will be retested after repairs have been
made. Tabs shall be trimmed away neatly by the installer of the liner after the welding
strip has passed inspection. Inspection shall be made within 2 days after the joint has
been completed in order to prevent tearing the projecting weld strip and consequently
damage to the liner from equipment and materials used in or taken through the work.
D. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

glass spray applied with the resin for added tensile and flexural strength where
desired. Sloped surfaces of the floor may be made non-skid by broadcasting
aluminum oxide or silica sand into the surface prior to gelation.
H. (Optional) Depending on flow levels and how long flow can be stopped, inverts
may be lined with an approved 100% solids, fast setting epoxy coating.
6. TESTING AND INSPECTION
A. During application, Applicator shall regularly perform and record epoxy coating
thickness readings with a wet film thickness gage, such as those available through
Paul N. Gardner Company, Inc. meeting ASTM D4414 - Standard Practice for
Measurement of Wet Film Thickness of Organic Coatings by Notched Gages, to
ensure a monolithic coating and uniform thickness during application. A minimum
of three readings per 200 square foot area shall be recorded. Applicator will
submit all documentation on thickness readings to Inspector on a daily basis when
coating application occurs.
B. Applicator may perform holiday detection on all surfaces coated with the epoxy
coating in the presence of Inspector. After the epoxy coating has set hard to the
- touch, surfaces shall first be dried, an induced holiday may then be made on to the
coated concrete surface and shall serve to determine the minimum/maximum
voltage to be used to test the coating for holidays at that particular area. The
spark tester shall be initially set at 100 volts per 1 mil (25 microns)of film thickness
applied but may be adjusted as necessary to detect the induced holiday (refer to
NACE RP0188-99). All detected holidays shall be marked and repaired by
abrading the coating surface with grit disk paper or other hand tooling method.
After abrading and cleaning, additional epoxy coating material can be hand applied
to the repair area. All touch-up/repair procedures shall follow the epoxy coating
manufacturer's recommendations. (Note: This procedure is sometimes difficult or
impossible to perform in tight manhole or vault structures or may provide unreliable
readings when testing coatings applied to concrete.)
C. Upon Owner's request a minimum of 10% of the total structures coated in each
basin and or subdivision may be subjected to random adhesion (bond) testing per
this section. Measurement of bond strength of the epoxy coating to the substrate
may be examined in accordance with ASTM D4541. Any areas detected to have
inadequate bond strength shall be evaluated by the Owner.
The adhesion (bond) testing shall be conducted by using 3 test dollys per
structure. One test dolly shall be affixed within 2 ft of the bench arealbottom of
structure, one test dolly shall be affixed in the middle of the structures wall area
and the final test dolly shall be affixed within two foot of the top of the chimney
area/top of the structure. Further bond tests may be performed in that area to
11/02/04 Revised ASC-51 R Addendum 1
x
PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS
determine the extent of potentially deficient bonded area and repairs shall be
made by Applicator in strict accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
D. (Optional) Manholes coated in their entirety may be vacuum tested. All pipes
entering the manhole should be plugged, taking care to securely place the plug
from being drawn into the manhole. The test head shall be placed and the seal
inflated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. A vacuum pump
of ten (10) inches of mercury shall be drawn and the vacuum pump shut off. With
the valves closed, the time shall be measured for the vacuum to drop to nine (9)
inches. Following are minimum allowable test times for manhole acceptance at
the specified vacuum drop:
DEPTH (FEET) TIME (SECONDS)
48"diameter 60"diameter 72" diameter
4 10 13 16
8 20 26 33
12 30 39 49
16 40 52 67
20 50 65 81
24 59 78 97
Add for 2ft. more depth: 5 6.66 8
Note: These numbers have been taken from ASTM C 1244-93(reapproved 2000).Latest standard edition will
govern.
If the manhole fails the initial test, repairs and adjustments necessary due to
extenuating circumstances (ie, pipe joint, liner, plug sealing) should be made.
Retesting shall proceed until a satisfactory test is obtained.
E. A final visual inspection shall be made by the Inspector and Applicator. Any
deficiencies in the finished coating shall be marked and repaired by Applicator
according to the procedures set forth herein.
F. The municipal sewer system may be put back into non-severe operational service
as soon as the final inspection has taken place. Consult epoxy coating
manufacturer for further recommendations.
