SEWER CLEANING GENERAL a) The Contractor will be provided with sewer lines that have been periodically cleaned by the ADSSC Operation and Maintenance Section or a nominated Contractor. Any additional cleaning required to carry out the Works specified herein will be the responsibility of the Contractor. b) The scope of operations for sewer and manhole cleaning is intended to include, but not be limited to the following elements of work: Location of manholes using suitable detection techniques and removal of overburden. ii. Cleaning of manholes with water jetting, and/or wire brushing or other approved means. iii. Removal of any sand, debris etc. from manhole bases and benching. iv. Stanking off flows and pumping where necessary. v. Cleaning of sewers using hydraulically propelled or mechanically powered equipment or water jetting. vi. Removal of all sand and debris etc. jetted or dredged from the sewers and disposal of same to an approved tip. vii. Controlling of odour and nuisance arising out of cleaning, flow diversion or over pumping operations. c) The designated sewer manhole sections shall be cleaned using hydraulically propelled, high-velocity jet, or mechanically powered equipment. The equipment and methods selected shall be satisfactory to the Engineer. The equipment shall be capable of removing dirt, grease, rocks, sand, and other materials and obstructions from the sewer lines and manholes. If cleaning of an entire section cannot be successfully performed from one manhole, the equipment shall be set up on the other manhole and cleaning again attempted. If, again, successful cleaning cannot be performed or the equipment fails to traverse the entire manhole section, it will be assumed that a major blockage exists and the cleaning effort shall be abandoned. d) If the Contractors cleaning equipment becomes lodged in a sewer it shall be removed by the Contractor at his own expense. This shall include excavation, repair of sewer, backfill and surface restoration. e) All sludge, dirt, sand, rocks, grease, and other solid or semi-solid material resulting from the cleaning operation shall be removed at the downstream manhole of the section being cleaned. Passing material from manhole section to manhole section, which could cause line stoppages, accumulations of sand in wet wells, or damage pumping equipment, shall not be permitted. i.

All works shall be carried out in such manner as to cause minimum disruption, noise or any nuisance to the public. b) Manholes and sewers being worked on shall be completely isolated and bypassed such that they do not contain any sewage. This shall be achieved by plugging, pumping and bypassing or diverting the flow. c) When flow in a sewer line is plugged, pumped and bypassed or diverted sufficient precautions must be taken to protect the sewer lines from damage that might result from sewer surcharging. Further, precautions must be taken to ensure that sewer flow control operations do not cause flooding or damage to public or private property being served by the sewers involved. 3.3.2 PIPE STOPPERS a) The flow shall be stoppered off using an approved type of pipe stopper. Stoppers shall be suitable for the sizes and classes of pipe in which they are used and must not cause damage to existing pipes. Stoppers must be able to withstand the maximum possible differential head at each location and shall be fully restrained in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. b) The Contractor shall be solely responsible for maintaining such stoppers in good working condition and for the consequences of any failure thereof. c) Where a section of the sewerage system is isolated for work involving man-entry to the isolated area, a minimum of two stoppers shall be used at each boundary location isolating the area from the main sewer and

subsidiary sewers. At least one of these stoppers at each location should be of an approved pneumatic type. 3.3.3 PUMPING AND BYPASSING OF FLOW a) Pumping shall be carried out using suitable mobile pumpsets to the approval of the Engineer. b) The pumps shall be controlled by suitable level controls installed to operate at levels to be approved by the Engineer and shall be capable of dealing with the flow in the sewer and any material likely to be transported in it without being blocked. c) The Contractor must provide enough temporary pumps of sufficient pumping capacity or where approved, a temporary sump to avoid surcharging upstream sewers. d) Constant full time attendance shall be provided by the Contractor at each pumping location such that in the event of mechanical breakdown, flooding or blockage, immediate assistance will be summoned. e) Discharge of pumped sewage shall be made to a manhole downstream of the sewer length being surveyed. The open end of the pump discharge pipe shall be laid so as to minimise turbulence of the pumped flow. f) The pump discharge pipe shall be of suitable armoured material which in all locations subject to traffic flow shall be suitably protected with steel preformed plates bridging the pipe or by other approved means. Such protection shall be adequate to allow passage of vehicular traffic over the pipe without undue inconvenience.
g) The Contractor shall restrict the sewage residence time in bypass hoses to not more than 10 minutes or as approved by the Engineer and shall provide adequate standby facilities of both suitable pumps and generators for use at short notice in the event of failure of either piece of equipment. h) For main streets, non disruptive road crossings may be required and the Contractor shall include the cost of constructing such crossings in his rates of rehabilitation works.

3.3.6
ODOUR CONTROL DURING DIVERTING OF FLOW
PUMPING
AND
BYPASSING
OR
a) The Contractor shall take necessary arrangements for controlling odour and prevent any nuisance and inconvenience to the local residents and the public generally as a result of pumping and bypassing or diverting of flow. b) The Contractor shall include in his proposed method the equipment and chemicals he is proposing to use to contain the odour release for approval by the Engineer. c) The Contractor shall install temporary chemical dosing system to contain the odour release if other measures fail. d) For odour control, the measurement of hydrogen sulphide shall not be more than 1 ppm measured at a distance of 5m from the point of discharge to the adjacent property. 3.3.7 GENERAL CLEANLINESS OF AREAS DURING SEWER CLEANING a) The Contractor shall ensure that while removing manhole covers and subsequent cleaning operations there is no spillage of sewage, debris and other particles onto the streets, near manholes and other areas causing nuisance to the local residents and the public.

b) The Contractor shall clear all spillages, wash and clean affected surfaces with water as and when spillage occurs. 3.4 SEWER MANHOLE SEALING a) It is the intent to provide for the elimination of extraneous water leakage into manholes that are otherwise structurally sound. All manhole sealing shall be done during high groundwater conditions, unless the points of leakage have been previously identified. b) The basic equipment shall consist of chemical pumps, chemical containers, injection packers, hoses, valves, and all necessary equipment and tools required to seal manholes. The chemical injection pumps shall be equipped with pressure meters that will provide for monitoring pressure during the injection of the chemical sealant. When necessary, fluid bypass lines equipped with pressure-regulated bypass valves will be incorporated into the pumping system. c) At each point of leakage within the manhole structure the existing GRP lining, if applicable, shall be removed over a sufficient area to expose the leakage point so that a hole could be carefully drilled from within the manhole and shall extend through the entire manhole wall. In cases where there are multiple leaks around the circumference of the manhole, fewer holes may be drilled providing all leakage is stopped from these holes. Into the previously drilled holes, chemical sealant injection devices shall be placed In such a way that they will provide a watertight seal between the holes and the Injection device. A hose, or hoses, shall be attached to the injection device from an injection pump. Chemical sealing materials as specified shall then be pumped through the hose until material refusal is recorded on the pressure gauge mounted on the pumping unit or a predetermined quantity of sealant has been injected. Care shall be taken during the pumping operation to ensure that excessive pressures do not develop and cause damage to the manhole structure. Upon completion of the injection, the injection packers shall be removed and the remaining holes filled with mortar and troweled flush with the surface of the manhole walls or other surfaces. The mortar used shall be of the fast set type with nonshrinking characteristics. d) After the manhole sealing operation has been completed, the manhole shall be visually inspected for the elimination of excessive infiltration by the Contractor in the presence of the Engineer. In addition, the Contractor will be required within one year to visually inspect the manholes that were sealed. Any sealing work that has become defective shall be resealed by the Contractor at no additional expense to ADSSC. e) All GRP lining removed or damaged as a result of the sealing works shall receive an insitu GRP lamination to the requirements of Section 03600 of the specification. In places where other liner materials are encountered proposals for the repair of the liner shall be submitted to the Engineer for his approval.

f)
Where the points of leakage are extensive but the manhole is structurally sound the leaks shall be repaired and an insitu GRP lamination to the requirements of Section 03600 of the specification shall be applied over the entire surface area of the existing GRP liner to the manhole.
g) Every precaution must be taken to prevent the formation of blisters in the existing GRP lining due to the change in environmental conditions within the manhole during the repair process. If blisters do occur then the blistered areas must be cut out and the areas repaired by applying an insitu GRP lamination to the cut out area. Where the entire surface area is to receive an insitu GRP lamination this repair work shall be carried out prior to the application of the overall lamination. The Contractor shall also review his repair procedure and submit alternative proposals with a view to preventing the formation of blisters for the Engineers approval. 3.5 SEWER PIPE JOINT SEALING a) Sewer pipe joints shall be sealed utilising the internal joint sealing method. It is realised that this method may only be used on sewer pipe sections in sound physical condition. Longitudinally cracked or broken pipe will not be sealed. When bell cracks or chips are evident from pipe section offset, sealing may be undertaken where the offset is small enough to allow proper seating of the sealing packer on both sides of the joint to be sealed. b) The basic equipment shall consist of a closed-circuit television system, necessary chemical sealant containers, pumps, regulators, valves, hoses, etc., and joint sealing packers for the various sizes of sewer pipes. The packer shall be cylindrical and have a diameter less than the pipe size and have cables attached at each end to pull it through the line. The packer device shall be constructed in a manner to allow a restricted amount of sewage to flow. Generally, the equipment shall be capable of performing the specified operations in lines where flows do not exceed the maximum line flows for joint testing/sealing. c) Joint sealing shall be accomplished by forcing chemical sealing materials into or through faulty joints by a system of pumps, hoses, and sealing packers. Jetting or driving pipes from the surface that could damage or cause undermining of the pipelines shall not be allowed. Uncovering the pipe by excavation shall not be allowed. The packer shall be positioned over the faulty joint by means of a measuring device and the closed-circuit television camera in the line. It is important that the procedure used by the Contractor for positioning the packer is accurate to avoid overpulllng the packer and thus not effectively sealing the intended joint. The packer ends shall be expanded using controlled pressure. The expanded ends shall seal against the inside periphery of the pipe to form a void area at the faulty joint, now completely isolated from the remainder of the pipeline. Into this isolated area, sealant materials shall be pumped through the hose system at controlled pressures which are in excess of groundwater pressures. The pumping

unit, metering equipment and the packer device shall be designed so that proportions and quantities of materials can be regulated in accordance with the type and size of the leak being sealed. d) Upon completing the sealing of each individual joint, the packer shall be deflated until the void pressure meter reads zero pressure, then reinflated and the joint retested. Should the void pressure meter not read zero, the Contractor shall clean his equipment of residual grout material or make the necessary equipment repairs/adjustments to produce accurate void pressure readings. Joints that fail to meet the specified test criteria shall be resealed and retested until satisfactory results are obtained. e) Residual sealing materials that extend into the pipe, reduce the pipe diameter, or restrict the flow shall be removed from the joint. The sealed joints shall be left reasonably flush with the existing pipe surface. If excessive residual sealing materials accumulate in the line the manhole section shall be cleaned to remove the residual materials. f) Complete records shall be kept of joint sealing performed in each manhole section. The records shall identify the manhole section in which the sealing was done, the location of each joint sealed, and the joint sealing verification results.
3.6
PREPARATION PRIOR TO LINER PIPE INSTALLATION a) Sewer sections to be lined shall be kept free of flows by one of the methods identified in Clause 3.03 above. b) Prior to insertion of a sewer lining the Contractor shall ensure that the sewer is clean and in a condition acceptable for the lining process to proceed. A CCTV inspection shall be used following such cleaning to ensure that sewer lengths are suitable for the lining process to be carried out. CCTV inspection shall be carried out in accordance with Section 02700 of the specification. c) Where infiltration of groundwater at pipe joints, cracks, collapsed pipe and other defects have been identified these shall be repaired by methods approved by the Engineer prior to the installation of any lining. d) No lining work shall be permitted until the prepared sewer has been inspected and approved by the Engineer. e) Where it is necessary to carry out any modification to existing manholes to enable manhole and/or sewer cleansing, CCTV survey or sewer rehabilitation, the Contractor shall carry out any such modification to the Engineers approval. Following completion of the works in a manhole, the Contractor shall return the manhole to its original or better condition to the approval of the Engineer including reinstatement to surfaces disturbed as a result of manhole modification/sewer rehabilitation. Modification to manhole may include removal of manhole cover slab,
