C. EXECUTION
1. Where sewer pipe is required to be installed under railroad embankments or
under highways, streets or other facilities in otter than open out, construction
shall be performied 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 pedostrians shall be furnished and maintained,
until such time as the backflil has been completed and then shall be removed
from the site.
. Pits and Treraahes:
a. If the grade of the pipe at the and 1s below the ground surface, suitable
pits or trenches shall be excavated for the purpose of riductirig the
jacking or tunneling operations and for placing end joints of the pipe.
Wherever grid trenches are cut in the sides of the embankment or
beyond A, 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 Enginear.
C. The pits of trenches excavated to facilitate these operations shall be
backfilled Immedlateiy after the casing and carrier pipe installation has
been completed,
& Boring and ,Jacking Steel Casing Pipe, Steel casing pipe shall be installed by
boring Bole with the earth auger and slmultaneously jacking pipe into place.
a. 'The boring shell proceed from a pit provided for the boring equipment
and workmen. The (toles are to be borers mechanically. The boring shah
be done using a pilot hole. By this method an approximate -inch hole
shall be bored the entire length of the crossing and shall be checked for
Me and grade on the opposite end cf the bore from the work pit. This
pilot hole shall serve as the centerline of the larger diameter hole to be
bored. Other methods of maintaining line and grade on the casing may
be approved it acceptable to the Engineer. Excavated materlal 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, ,setting or
sluicing Will not be permitted.
b. In unconsolidated soil formatlons, a gel -forming colloidal drilling fluld
consisting of at least 10 irerc:ent of high grade carefully processed
bentortlte may be used to consolidate outtIngs of the bit, seal the walls of
the Dole, and furnish lubrication for subsequent removal of cuttings and
Install allan of the pipe iMMediateiy thereafter.
D-4
C. Allowable variation from the line and grade shall be as specified under
paragraph A- . 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 encasernont pipe shall be
supported by "skids" or °bands° to prevent the pipe and bells frbm
snagging on the inside of the casing, and to keep the Installed line from
resting on the balls.
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 specitled.
c. The Contractor shall prevent over-belllng the pipe while Installing it
through the using. A method of restricting the movement between the
assembled ball and spigot whare applicable shall tie provided.
d. At all bored, jacked, or tunneled installatlons, the annular space between
the carrier pipe and casing shall be filled with grout. Cane 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 atterthe 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. SorYng 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 bone 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.
Casiq pipe shall be provided at no aciftonal cost and shall be
subsidiary to the east bld for Installation By Other than Open Cut+
C. Bore and jack in accordance with paragraph C.. above.
d, Short length of sewer consisting of a single pipe section may be installed
by jacking without a bore hole if permitted by #ha Engineer and in soft soil
layer. All voids outside of installed pipe shall be pressure grouted.
6. Tunneling: Where the charactedstics of the self, the size of the proposed pipe,
or the use of monolithic sewer would make the use of tunneiing nmra sattlsfacbory
than jacking or boring, or when shm m on the plans, a tunneling method may be
used, with the approval of the Engineer or railroadfbighway officials.
D-49
a. When tunreling is permitted, the lining of the tunnel shall be of sufflclent
strength of support the overburden. The Contractor shall submit the
proposed liner method to the Engineer for approval. The tunnel liner
design shaII Bear th9 seal of a licensed professional engineer In the Stata
of Texas. Approval by the Eng[neer shall not refieve the Contractor of the
responsibility for the adaquscy of the finer method.
b. the spare between the tunnel liner and the limits of excavatlon shall be
pressure grouted or mud -jacked.
C. Access holes for pladng ooncrete shell be space at maximum intervaIs_of
10 feet,
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT: Installatfon of pipe by other than open cut will be
measured by the linear foot of pipe, wmpfete ire place. Such measurement will be made
between the ends of the pipe along the centrai axis as installed. The work performed
and materials famished as prescribed by this item will be paid for at the Contract Unit

Section 3 -� Oak Witt
Oak vvi is paused by' the fungus Cemfacysift fagaeearum. It is comparable to -Dutch
c1m ciis=e.,.a fungal Wecdon•that has destr9y6d entire elm p6pulations in the
midwest and'northcast Urdted Mates. Although all oak species car' contraet oak wilt,
red or SpaWsh oak and live .oak aro the tm most =ceptible,`
Oak wdl( should not be confused with oak decHne. Decline 1s .a teh_8 1 term .used
wheri a tx .under stress falls prey to any- number of-disea_ses.or insects.... Oak wilt
invades the water and food tissues of oak roots, trunks, arid' 11mbs. it is a true wilt
-disease.
AM-c€ed Ar r
Oak wilt has been found in sevexal counties, mostly in central Tmas. C1ort yrmecl
uses of the disease have also been found -in other parts of Tmw.
How U. Spreads
The oak wflt fungus most often spreads undergmiand from infeaed trees to adjar nt
hcalthY trees through inte=nnecting roots. Sap beetles also carry fungal spores'
from infected trees to open =is or wounds on healthy trees. Tbo fungus can also be
spread by pruning tools. Also, it is beUeved that.a ,major cause of widespread
infection infection has' been the tribution of-fiwgt s-iz& ed -1iremod.

Spanish or Red Dabs infected 'with the na w:Rt fungus often die yr thin one to four
weeld, whlic live oaks may dsc within: a pexiod ranging from one, month to two- years.

"'here is no cure for oak wilt. A. fungicide has been developed that wlll- control the
disease, {f It is. detected in the early stages. .'(Contact the Construction and
MOn.enaum Division for information.)
Therefore, the following preventive measures offer the aaly means of control:
Perform tteaessar pruning and' eutti3ng of healthy tr= during the winter month
of January and Februaxy when sap beetles are le st'active.
V Treat w6und,s with pruning paint to dlscoumge insects, egpeculuy Bunn Warm
weather.
t rMte all pruning tools in a solution of bleach and water after each tree.
DaMoy the tree cuttings by burning or burying the wood.
Once a tree.'has been confirmed to have oak wilt, steps can be taken to prevent
spread, including.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Corrpro Companies was retained by Carter do Burgess to perform corrosion
protection design services along the proposed. -route of the 3 -inch diameter
Water Tranwmission Pipeline to serve Sendera'Ranch. The approximate length of
the right-of-way is 22,5 0,feet (4.3 miles). TIm proposed pipeline will be. offered
for bid with the followin* alteipates:
• Prestressed concrete_. cylinder pipe {AWW — -301L) with electrically
bonded joints and cathodic protection.
• Polyethylene wrapped ductile iron pipe with electrically boned joints and
cathudic protection.
Upon completion of the corrosion evaluatiaa, a corrosion protection design was
prepared including the requirements for joint bonding, electrical isolation, stray
ci=nt control, corrosion control test stations and cathodic protection.
This report presents the results of the corrosion evaluation and corrosion
protection design.
IQ OORRO IVITY EVALUATION
The purpose of the study is -to evaluate the soil conditions,'tie DC earl curxent
activity, the foreign line crossings, and the availability or AC power ,along the
proposed pipeline route. 'rhe _evaluation is the basis for determining the corrosion
protection requirements for'the pres4 sed concrete cylinder pipe (PC CP) and the
polyethylene wrapped ductile irotx pipe material alternates.
The soil is corrosive with respect to PCP and ductile. iron. The soil
resistiviti at %c elevation where the pipe is to be installed for both
Contract I and Contract II are indicative of corrosive conditions with
70.8 a of the measurements lass than 3,000 ohm -cm, 62..511/o of the
measurements less than 2,000 ohm -cm, and 33.3% of the measurements
less than 1,000 ohm-= in the 5 to 10 fbot layer.
Two out of five sail samples tested present a signitict chloride -ion
content in the soil (i.e., higher than 50 gpm). Chloride ions act as cathode
depolarizers and contribute to high corrosion stew of FCCP and ductile
iron.
The pipe materials. tc be considered for this water line are PCCP and
ductile iron. These materials are subject to corrosion in the soil and
1
ground water environments enwuntered atop- the. pipeline'alignm nt and
should he catliodicE ly protected to provide the requishe design life.
2.2 RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
Field and laboratory testing were performed to collect chemical and
electrical data to evaluate the effect of spit wrrosivity on PCCP and
ductile iron, along the proposed pipeline alignment. The test procedures
employed are described in Appxdix A,
Soil resisiivity measurements were recorded from grade to depths of Eve,
ten and fifteen feet at tw=ty-foie locations alang the pipeline route.
ix en measurements were collected along the pipeline right-of-way,
south o C - Highway 287, corresponding to Contract 1. The remaining eight
soil resistivity measurements were collected along the pipeline right-of-
wy, nwth of Mghway 2-87, corresponding to CGntrauf II. This data is
presented in Appendix B .
, trucr=-to-soil potential measurements were obtained on a foreign
pipeline crossing to determine if this structure is associated with an
existing cathodic protection system that might cause • stray current
interference problems on the water pipeline. it was also noted that an
additioul gas pipeline is being installed parallel to the water lime-rightwof=
vvay. Measured stmoture-to-soil potential data is also included -ire
Appendix 8. Intcrfcxence from overhead AC distribution power lines is
not ekpeot�ed to be a problem for this. pipeline alignment+ Provisions for
interference testing and bonding at foreign pipeline crossings are included
in the design.
oiI samples collected by Corrpro personnel at five locations were tested
in the laboratory for pH, chloride ion concentration, sulfide ion
concentration and conductivity. Laboratory test results are tabulated in
Appendix C.
Considering each of the chemical and electrical soil pmpeilios that are
tested in the field and the laboratory, general guidelines for interpreting
the results are as follows:
■ Soil Moisture - The higher the soil moisture content, the greater the
anticipated rate of corrosion. Mais=6 contents can range frrom 'I%
(very dry sands) to 40% (clays holding a great deal of moisture).
Typical values are 10 to 15 % with over 20% moisture considered high,
pH - Acid soils and groundwater are more conducive to galvanic
corrosion offerxom materials than alkaline soils and groundwater,
2
• -Conductivity - For a given corrosion cell with a fixed potential
difference between the anode and cathode, the higher the conductivity,
the greater the metal loss. Conductivities over 350 micromhoslcm
(equivalent to a resistivity of 2850 ohm -cm) are considered high,
• Sulfide Conic;etktration - Any detectable concentrations -of sulfide ions
are indicative of anaerobic conditions that may support high rates of
metal dissolution due to microbiologically influenced corrosion.
• Chloride Concentrations - Chloride ions are cathode &poiIarizera
which enhance the into of corrosion. The higher the concentration, the
greater the rate of corrosion. Many soils have chloride conemtrationg
less than 10 ppm. Concentrations over 50 ppm are significant.
+ Soil Resistivity - Resistivity is a common parameter for evaluating the
corrosiveness of the soil. Resistivity is the inverse of conductivity and
is measured in units of ohm -centimeters. Corrosivity is often an
inverse function of resistivity with low resistivity soils -usually more
corrosive than high resistivity soils. resistivity is also related to the
concentration of salts with a low resistivity indicating- high levels of
salt.
It should be stres&)d that there is na single c mical or electrical property
of the sail that determines the rate of corrosion. Consideration of the
interrelationsbip of all of the above factors is important to an accurate
assessment of the potential rates of corrosion and the design of corrosion
protection systems.
Using* the Barnes Layer procedure, soil resistivities were calculated for the
5 to 10 feat and 10 to 15. feet layers. This data .is tabulated in Appendix B.
Statistical distribution of the soil resistivity for the layers of interest, here
the water pipe is to be installed, are su,mnuulzed as follows:

With respect to the cheraicO propeilies of the soil, the test results of the
samples indicate;
+ A pki range from a minimum of 7.9 to a maximum of 8.2.
+ Chloride ion concentrations from 6 to 130 ppm.
* No detectable sulfide ions.
a Conductivities from 506 to 1,588 micromhos,
In addition, the proposed pipeline alignments were_ surveyed for the
location of Boreign line crossings and the location of AC power suitable
for inrstallatian of impressed current cathodic protection syst=s.
2.3 - CORROSION PROTECT) ON RE Q:MREMENTS
n analysis of the field data obtained during the. survey and of the types of
proposed pipe nmterials was made too determine the requirements for and
types of cathodic protection that could be considered for the water pipeline
to serve Send.era R=h.
The soil clwmistry{ and low resistivity ind€cat., that ferrous matQn.ai is will
be subject to electrochemical corrosion.
The PC:CP pipe is electxicaily discontinnous along its length because of
the dielectric sealing materials used at each pipe ,point, Joisnt banding will
therefore be required to maintain electri,: continuity. The same
requirement applies to the ductile iron pipe option at joint locations,
The lugh pH of the mortar coating on tht PC:CP provides corrosion,
protection for the embedded steel components. However, high
concentrations of chloride ions and low soil resisEvities will compromise
the level of corrosion protection, raking the steel susceptible to corrosion.
The polyethylene wrap planned for the ductile iron pipe is in effect a non -
bonded dielectric coating arnd is considered the primary corrosion control
mcchanism for this pipe configuration. Nevcrfficle,%s, corrosion wilt occur
at those areas where there are breaks to the coating; therefore, thp, coating
must be - supplemented with cathodic protection. It raust be noted,
however, that in some cases the polyethylene bag wrap may preclude the
cathodic protection current from reaching the pipe surface. As a result,
oormsion may still occur ifmoi"e is pro sent between the plastic and the
metal.
In surnmar'y, it is recommended that cathodic protection be installed for
both pipe materials. In addition to the installation of cathodic protection,
51
electrical continuity bonds must be installed on all buried rnechaniick[
,points.
It is necessary to electrically isolate the pipeline at all tie -iris to other
pipelines. In additior4 where the pipe gasses through. casings, the carrier
pipe in the casings must be electrically isolated from the steel casing.
Monitoring test stgions should be installed for. the pipeline and at each
end of all . pipeline casings. Monitoring test stations should also be
installed at each road crossing and at the location of all in -line isolators.
iD C ORRO 81ON PROTECTION DFMGN REPORT
3.1 SUND4ARY
The proposed pipeline construction will be offered for competitive bidding
based on the following alternate pipe configurations:
• 36 Inch Diameter Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe; A corrosion
control system consisting of galvanic anode cathodic proteWcn, joint
continuity_ bonds, monitoring teat stations and joint isolation at.
connections to existing pipelines is re mm xded for this pipeline
configuration.
6 Inch Diameter Polyethylene Wrap Coated Ductile Iron Pipe: A
corrosion control system consisting of galvanic anode caftdic
p to on, joint continuity bonds, monitoring test stations, joint
isolation at connections to existing pipelines and electrical isolation at
cased crossings is recommended mended for this pipeline configuration.
.2 PROTECTIVE COATING
The mortar coating on the PCCP provides a high pH environment, which
is protective. of the steel - embefinemts. The mortar coating should be
applied in accordar= with AWWA Standards to make certain that it is of
low porosity and low permeability. The pipe should be handled without
cracking the mortar and the joints iciest be properly diapered.
The polyethylene encasement for the external suffices of the ductile iron
pipe maCerial should be in accordance with A WWAStandards.
5
3.3 PIPE BEDDING & BACKFILL
There may be plates along the pipeline right -of- ay where the- pipe will
be installed in rocky areas. It is essential that the pipe be provided with
proper bedding to prevent physical damage to the pipe, mortar and/'o r
polyethylene encasement. It is recommended that bedding materials such
as crushed rock and/or Olean river sand be used for this'purpose. BackfiLl
material should also be finely graded to prevent damage to either the
polyethylene encasement or mortal coating,
3.4 CATHODIC PROTECTION
The recommended sacrificial anode cathod-lu protection. systems for the
different pipe configurations acre 'as follows:
The PCCP pipeline configuration will require twenty (2D) a-a0de
groundbeds each consisting of ten, 48 pound prepackaged magnesium
anodes. The groundbeds will be distributed as follows:
- Contwt I: Thirteen anode groundbeds shall be installed on the
pipe section installed south of Highway 287. The approximate
spacing required between groundbeds is 1200 f t. fax t1-iis pipe
section.
Contract 11: Seven mode grouudbeds shall be installed an the pipe
section installed north of Highway 287, The approximate spacing
required between groundbeda is 1,340 feet for this pipe section.
In addition, the P CP option will require three bonding clips welded
across each joint to erx ure electrical continuity of the pipeline.
Cathodic protection for the' 3 -inch diameter with poly&hylene
encasement ductile u-an pipeline will require seem' (7) anode
grotuidbeds each cornsisting of a group of ten, 48 pound prepackaged,
=gnesitm anodes. The groundbeds will be distributed as follows-,
- Contract 1: Four mode groundbeds shall be installed on the pipe
section installed south of Highway 287. The approximate spacing
required between groundbeds is 4,000 feet for this pipe section,
Contract 11: Three anode groundbeds shall be installed on the pipe
section installed north of Righ ay 287. The approximate spacing
required between groundbeds is 2,500 feet for this pipe section,
In addition, the ductile iron pipe option will require two bonds th'erxnite
welded across each joint to ensure electrical continuity of the pipeline.
Refer to Appondix Car, Specification for Magnesium Anode Cathodic
protection system; Appendix H, Dmwin,gs; and Appendix L
Z
.5
3.
3.'7
JOINT 13DNDI G & ELECTRICAL ISOLATION
For all pipe materials, bonding of mechanical joints is required. Bond
cables should be thz= to welded across ductile iron pipe joints. On the
other hand, steel clips should be welded across PC P joints except -when
the joints are restrained by welding.
The new 3 -inch pipeline should be electrically isolated from the existing
transmission mains -and the laterals.
Refer to Appendix E, Joint Bonding and Electrical Isolation; Appendix H.,
Drawings; and Appendix I.
AC PMU ATI N
`I'bcre Ill not be any exposure of the buried pipeline to paralleling high
voltage overhemd power lines an therefore AC mitigation procedures are
not anticipated.
TEST STATIONS
Test stations are required for both pipe materials at groundbed locations,
cased crossings, foreign line crossings, major highway crossing, Fal tie -Ins .
with laterals and spur lines, and isolation joints. Cathodic protection
monitoring test stations should also be iusuMed at locations so as to limit
the maxirnrun d!Muce between the two tm-t statiow to one mile.- Test
station schedules for both pipe materials are presented in Appendix D.
Test Station types are as follows:
1. T - Standard pipe -to -soil' potential tneasurernent test
station (see Drawing TS type test station in Appendix H of
this specification),
. CP - Test station installed at the ends of metallic pipeline
casings with lead wires to the pipeline and mead wires to the
casing (see Drawing CP type test station in Appendix H of
this- specification). CP test stations shall be installed at
both ends of all metallic casings.
3. FL - Vest station installed at crossing of underground,
steel Piping systems owned by others (foreign pipellnes
(sae Drawing FL type test station in Appendix H -off this
specification). In addition to the test lead wires to be
installed for the pipeline and tfie fixvip pipelines, bond
wires shall also be installed, one to the 36" diameter water
7
line and one tea the foreign pipeline. The bond wires shall
be No. 6 A G, single conductor, str=dcd, copper wire
with THW or THHN insulation. The insulation shall be
white in color for bond wires installed on the 36" diameter
water line and . red in color for bond wires installed on
foreign pipelines,
4. IF - Test station installed across insulating joints. (see
Drawing IF type test station in' Appendix lI - of . this
specification).
Note. Lead wires and bond wires are to be installed on
the; foreign pipelines by the foreign pipeline owners.
Carter & . IRu,rges,s will make arrangements with the
foreign pipeline owners for installation of lead wires
and bond wins on the foreign pipelines. Contractor
SHALL NOT install lead wires or band wires on foreign
Pipelines.
3.8 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The use of sacrificial galvanic anode type cathodic pro wrdon systems for
berth pipeline schemes will provide the means for adjusting the cathodic
protection current output to accommodate changes iti pipeline coax ngs
arndior soil conditions.
The naonitoring- stations and pcnnanent reference electrodes inswled at
gxoundbed lecatioas, foreign. pipeline crossings, eased crossings and
braried isoladon fittings Aill allow for proper system monitoring and
interference testing.
