C. Install PE piping according to ASTM D 2321.

D. Install PVC piping according to ASTM D 2321.

E. Install clay piping according to ASTM C 12 and NCPI's "Clay Pipe Engineering Manual."

F. Install concrete piping according to ACPA's "Concrete Pipe Handbook."


3.9 PIPE JOINT CONSTRUCTION

A. Cast-Iron Soil Pipe and Fittings: Hub and spigot, with rubber compression gaskets according to CISPI's "Cast Iron Soil Pipe and Fittings Handbook." Use gaskets that match class of pipe and fittings.

B. Join PE pipe, tubing, and fittings with couplings for soiltight joints according to AASHTO's "Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges," Division II, Section 26.4.2.4, "Joint Properties."

C. Join perforated, PE pipe and fittings with couplings for soiltight joints according to AASHTO's "Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges," Division II, Section 26.4.2.4, "Joint Properties"; or according to ASTM D 2321.

D. Join PVC pipe and fittings according to ASTM D 3034 with elastomeric seal gaskets according to ASTM D 2321.

E. Join perforated, PVC pipe and fittings according to ASTM D 2729, with loose, bell-and-spigot joints.

F. Join perforated, clay pipe and fittings with gaskets according to ASTM C 425.

G. Lay clay pipe and fittings with open joints and open-joint screening material.

H. Join perforated, concrete pipe and fittings with gaskets according to ASTM C 443/C 443M.

I. Special Pipe Couplings: Join piping made of different materials and dimensions with special couplings made for this application. Use couplings that are compatible with and that fit both pipe materials and dimensions.

3.10 FOUNDATION RETAINING-WALL AND LANDSCAPING SUBDRAINAGE CLEANOUT INSTALLATION

A. Install cleanouts from subdrainage piping to grade. Locate cleanouts at beginning of piping run and at changes in direction. Install fittings so cleanouts open in direction of flow in piping.

B. In vehicular-traffic areas, use NPS 4 (DN 100) cast-iron soil pipe and fittings for subdrainage piping branch fittings and riser extensions to cleanout plug. Set cleanout frames and covers in a cast-in-place concrete anchor, 18 by 18 by 12 inches (450 by 450 by 300 mm) in depth. Set top of cleanout plug flush with grade. Cast-iron pipe may also be used for cleanouts in nonvehicular-traffic areas.

C. In nonvehicular-traffic areas, use NPS 4 (DN 100) PVC pipe and fittings for subdrainage piping branch fittings and riser extensions to cleanout plug. Set cleanout frames and covers in a cast-in-place concrete anchor, 12 by 12 by 4 inches (300 by 300 by 100 mm) in depth. Set top of cleanout plug 1 inch (25 mm) above grade.

3.11 SPORTS FIELD DRAINAGE INSTALLATION

A. Playing field contractor shall commence the work after entire subbase has been fine graded to

specified tolerances. Absolutely no installation of sub-surface drainage system materials shall begin without the prior approval of subbase by Owner, Field Engineer and Geo-technical Engi-neer. Subbase elevations of the field shall strictly conform to the grading plan for the field. Playing


field contractor shall immediately notify Owner, Field Engineer and Geotechnical Engineer if play-ing field subbase does not appear to meet specified tolerances or if other noticeable problems appear to exist such as soft areas or settlement problems.

B. The location of each run of sub-drain pipe shall be staked out and the trench shall be graded us-

ing laser equipment to the grades shown on the plans. Install geotextile on subbase and on bot-tom and sides of trenches with an overhang of the trench sidewall as indicated on the installation details. All pipes shall be carefully placed in the trenches and bedded with approved bedding ma-terial per plan details and specifications. The interior of pipes shall be kept free from dirt, debris and other deleterious material when pipe installation is not in progress by temporarily closing ends of all pipes. After installation of sub-drain pipe, fill trench with specified gravel backfill and plate compact material in trenches. Bedding material must be even with the top of the trench and the rest of the subbase.

C. Install the geotextile across entire subbase. The fabric shall be installed in a roof shingle like pat-

tern with the upslope piece overlapping the down-slope piece. D. Install strip of geo-textile filter fabric over the width and length of the compacted bedding material

at the trench drains. Secure as needed for placement of the material. E. Install the flat drains as indicated on the drawings connecting to the perimeter drain.

F. Install stone over flat drains using properly sized equipment to prevent damage to the flat drains.

G. Sports Field Contractor to verify acceptability of completed subsurface drainage system before

proceeding surface installation.

3.12 CONNECTIONS

A. Piping installation requirements are specified in other Division 15 Sections. Drawings indicate general arrangement of piping, fittings, and specialties.

B. Connect low elevations of subdrainage system to solid building storm drainage system.


A. Testing: After installing drainage fill to top of pipe, test drain piping with water to ensure free flow before backfilling. Remove obstructions, replace damaged components, and repeat test until results are satisfactory.

3.14 CLEANING

A. Clear interior of installed piping and structures of dirt and other superfluous material as work progresses. Maintain swab or drag in piping and pull past each joint as it is completed. Place plugs in ends of uncompleted pipe at end of each day or when work stops.
