9 SAFETY
The EPC Contractor shall establish a safety program that includes but is not limited to
the handling, shipping and storage of contract materials present onsite as well as
maintaining all necessary documentation/material data specifications of contract
materials containing known hazardous or toxic substances.
10 CONSTRUCTION EXECUTION
The EPC Contractor shall produce the procedure and work plans for the construction
and installation of all constituent parts of the underground gravity pipe drainage system
for Company approval prior to commencement of the Work. The procedure and work
plans are to be submitted to the Company for review.
11.1 General
All materials shall be stored in such a manner as to protect them from deterioration and
contamination from whatever source.
11.3 Pipework
All pipes and fittings shall be thoroughly inspected on delivery and again before being
placed in position. Throughout the operations of delivery, handling, storing and
transporting on or about the site, EPC Contractor shall use such methods, plant and
equipment as will prevent damage to the pipes and to any coating. Impacts shall be
avoided. Ropes, cables and hooks shall not be used during handling. Instead, wide
straps shall be used and shall be of a length suited to the diameter of the pipes.

stored one on top of another. They shall be placed on wide timber bearers with
suitable interplacing of a protective material.
Coated and wrapped carbon steel, uPVC and PE pipework shall be protected from the
direct rays of the sun. To avoid damage to linings or pipes and fittings special care and
attention shall be taken when lifting, moving and placing pipe on site.
12 WORKMANSHIP
12.2 Bedding
A bed of selected bedding material as specified in Section 8.4 shall be laid and
compacted to 100mm minimum thickness over the full width of the trench, where the
bed thickness is measured from the bottom of pipe to the trench bottom. The bed
thickness shall be increased to 150mm in rock or hard soil conditions. The bed shall be
scooped out locally at pipe sockets where socketed pipes are used. The bed thickness
under sockets shall not be less than 50mm.
Pipes shall be adjusted to line and level within tolerances specified in the design to
ensure that pipe barrels rest uniformly on the bedding along their whole length. Where
side fill is required, further selected backfill material shall be laid and compacted
uniformly by hand halfway up each side of the pipe.
Pipe laying should commence at the downstream end of the system. Immediately
following the excavation of the trench, the pipe shall be laid and jointed in accordance
with the Manufacturer's recommendations and as detailed on the EPC Contractor’s
drawings. Joints shall be undamaged and clean. Brick or other hard blocks, etc shall
not be placed under the pipes for temporary support.
Cutting of pipe shall be carried out with manufacturer’s recommended tools and
procedures. Damage to internal and external coatings and or linings shall be repaired
in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
The full length of each section of pipe shall rest solidly upon the pipe bed. A pipe that
has the gradient or joint disturbed after laying shall be taken up and relaid. Pipes shall
not be laid when trench conditions are unsuitable for the work. When work is not in
progress open ends of pipes, fittings and valves shall be securely closed so that no
water, sand or other substance will enter the pipes or fittings. Pipe ends left for future
connection shall be valved, plugged or capped.
Each length of pipe shall be laid in a dead straight line both in the horizontal and
vertical planes, the levels and/or gradients shown on the EPC Contractor’s drawings
being rigidly adhered to, unless otherwise approved by the Company. Permanent
adjustments to line and/or level shall not be achieved by local packing. As the work
progresses the interior of the pipe shall be cleared of all superfluous materials. As
soon as possible after the joint is made, sufficient backfill material shall be placed
along the pipe to prevent pipe movement of line or grade and the invert level checked.

Duqm Refinery Project – EPC Package 2 Drainage Material and Workmanship
Bases to manholes etc shall be cast in concrete, minimum grade of concrete shall be in
accordance with Concrete Mix Design Criteria (DRP001-OUF-SPE-C-000-002). The
minimum size of the base shall be equal to the external dimensions of the manhole
chamber.
Concrete manholes shall be constructed with precast concrete sections complying with
the relevant requirements specified in section 8.5 with ogee or similar approved joints.
A chamber ring with openings for the drain inlets and outlets shall be set vertically in
the manhole base, and subsequent sections added, as required, and set vertically, to
build the manhole up to surface level.
Care shall be taken to locate step irons in succeeding precast units vertically above
step irons in proceeding units.
All spun concrete manhole sections shall be supplied with mastic fillets at the joints to
provide watertight seals.
Bed the top pre-cast concrete section dry pending completion of surrounding levels.
Replace or adjust as necessary to give accurate and even final levels.
All frames shall be solidly bedded so that the manhole cover is even with the
surrounding finished surface. Any installed cover or frame not level or that allows
rocking of the cover, shall be made level or replaced at EPC Contractor's expenses.
Building debris being allowed to accumulate in drains shall require rodding and clearing
out at EPC Contractor's expense.
13 TESTING
The leak test shall comprise of either a water test in accordance with clause 13.2 or an
air test in accordance with Clause 13.3 of this Specification. Sections between
manholes shall be tested separately unless otherwise specified. All the necessary
apparatus and attendance for the test shall be provided by the EPC Contractor.
Pipework failing to satisfy the requirements of the water test shall be taken up, re-laid
and re-jointed as necessary and again tested to establish watertightness; at no extra
cost to the Company.
The drainage system shall not be deemed to have failed by means of an air test. A
water test should be carried out prior to the rejection of the system.
The section of the drain to be tested shall be suitability stoppered or plugged at the end
of connections. The test section shall then be filled with water up to the ground level of
either the downstream or upstream manhole, as appropriate, but with a maximum
pressure of 50 kPa and a minimum pressure of 10 kPa measured at the top of the pipe.
Steeply graded drains shall be tested in stages where the above maximum pressure
would be exceeded if the whole section were tested at once.
Unless otherwise agreed by the Company the test shall commence one hour after
filling the test section, at which time the water level in the feed pipe shall be made up to
produce the required test head. The test shall be continued for sufficient time to allow
the Company to inspect the pipeline and satisfy himself regarding its water tightness
and in any case for not less than one hour.
The pressure shall be maintained within 1 kPa of the test pressure by topping up with
water. The total amount of water added during the test shall be measured and
recorded with the head of water at the required test pressure.
The test requirement is satisfied if the amount of water added is not greater than:
The system is deemed to have passed the test if there is no fall in the head of water
during the test period.
13.4 Manholes
Each manhole shall be tested for water tightness in the presence of the Company by
filling with water to a level not exceeding 1.2m above the pipe soffit level or to ground
level. EPC Contractor shall be responsible for locating, making good any leakages and
the work will be accepted as satisfactory only when a visual inspection for water
tightness reveals no leaks or external damp patches. This test is to be carried out prior
to the placing of the backfill material.
14 INSPECTION
The EPC Contractor shall produce specification for the inspection of all pipes, fittings
and all ancillary concrete structures pertaining to underground gravity pipe drainage
system. The procedure and work plans shall be issued to Company for approval prior
to commencement of work.
