3.09 TESTING, INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

A. MATERIAL TESTING

1.

All material testing shall be performed by a registered independent, third-
party laboratory, and paid for by the Contractor.

The Contractor shall provide test results of the short term properties of the
cured lining material in the quantity of one test per liner batch, or 3,000 feet of
installed liner, or as required by the Owner. The liner shall be in compliance
with the physical properties described in these Specifications. Flexural

strength and modulus shall be tested in accordance with the requirements of
ASTM D 790.

B. INSPECTION

C.

D.

1.

After the work is completed, the Contractor shall inspect the pipeline by
closed circuit color television inspection and shall provide the Engineer with
one copy of a videotape or acceptable digital format recording of this
inspection log for the Owner’s records. Any repaired areas shall be re-
televised.

FIELD TEST (THICKNESS)

1.

Remove the CIPP liner material from the host pipe core samples. Remove
any inner liner film, pre-liner and resin that is not contained within the tube.
Measure the liner thickness at three spots on each sample. The resulting six
measurements will be averaged. The average thickness shall be equal to or
greater than the required thickness for the particular section. No undersize
allowance is permitted. In accordance with D 790-03, referenced in ASTM
1216, the calculated wall thickness refers only to the part of the liner that
consists of a saturated tube. Elements that are not part of the saturated tube do
not contribute to the structural integrity of the liner, thereby excluding tube
that is not fully saturated or portions of resin without the tube carrier.

ACCEPTANCE

1.

Prior to final acceptance, any defects that may affect the integrity or strength
of the pipeline is the opinion of the Engineer shall be repaired by the
Contractor at no additional cost to the Owner.

. Pipeline shall be true to line and grade, with no visual bulges, sags,

protrusions, deflections, offset joints, leaking joints, or other visible
infiltration, or other defects that would impair the intended use of the
completed pipeline.

3. Final acceptance of work shall not be granted until all defective areas are
repaired in accordance with the CIPP manufacturer’s recommendations and to
the Engineer’s satisfaction.

4. Any repairs required by the Engineer as a result of the post construction
internal inspection shall be performed by the Contractor.

5. Contractor shall perform a post construction internal inspection in accordance
with Section 02760. Final acceptance of the work shall not be granted until
post installation inspection has been reviewed and approved by the Engineer.

SECTION 02651

CURED-IN-PLACE (CIPP) LINING OF EXISTING SEWERS
(ULTRAVIOLET CURING)

PART 1 GENERAL

1.01 DESCRIPTION

A.

SCOPE

The work consists of furnishing all labor, equipment, materials, and incidentals
required to rehabilitate existing sewer mains by the installation of cured-in-place
pipe (CIPP) into the existing main. Work will include bypass pumping, sewer
cleaning and root cutting including decanting and disposal of debris at the City
landfill, initial closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection, identification of
existing live taps, removing of protruding taps by remote methods, installation of
resin-impregnated tube into the existing pipe followed by ultraviolet curing as
specified by the resin manufacturer, reopening service taps into the line, sampling
and testing, final closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection, and all other related
work. Before final acceptance of each line segment, a post-rehabilitation video
inspection and sample testing must be conducted and approved. Rehabilitation
must be completed for the full length from the manhole to manhole, resulting in a
sound, tight-fitting water-tight liner with a smooth interior surface. All such work
shall comply with these specifications and the specific product manufacturer’s
recommendations. Any conflict between the product manufacturer’s
recommendations and any portion of the contract documents shall be resolved
with the Engineer prior to proceeding with the work.

The Contractor, or the sub-contractor(s), shall not change any material, design
values or procedural matters stated or approved herein, without informing the
Engineer and receiving written advance approval of the change

Note:

Reference is made to the Supplementary Conditions Section A. Prosecution of
Work for a description of the process by which the Engineer will direct the
Contractor to make spot repairs both before and after lining.

SAFETY

This standard does not address safety problems associated with the use of this
product. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to establish appropriate safety
and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior
to use.

LINER TUBE

1.

ACCEPTABLE MATERIALS
Fiberglass (cured with ultra-violet light).
TUBE CHARACTERISTICS AND STANDARDS

At the time of manufacture, each lot of glass fiber liner shall be inspected
for defects and tested in accordance with applicable ASTM standards. At
the time of delivery, the liner shall be homogeneous throughout, uniform
in color, free of cracks, holes, foreign materials, blisters, and deleterious
faults.

For testing purposes, a production lot shall consist of all liner having the
same marking number. It shall include any and all items produced during
any given work shift and must be so identified as opposed to previous or
ensuing production.

The ENGINEER may at any time direct the manufacturer to obtain
compound samples and prepare test specimens in accordance with
applicable ASTM standards.

An “inner liner” and “outer liner” film must be used for resin control (to
prevent resin migration and contamination). The “inner film” and “outer
film” must both be certified styrene gas barriers. The “inner liner” film
must be removed during the installation process unless it is a permanent
part of the system and is made an integral part of the carrier tube by
bonding or fusing to the carrier tube.

The material shall be manufactured in such a manner as to result in a tight-
fitting, continuous liner after installation. There shall be no measureable
annular space. The liner shall have a snug fit at manhole terminations as
shall be evidenced by flares.
