4 Testing & Commissioning
4.1 Testing of Materials
Materials Generally
All materials to be used in contact with Sewerage or its atmosphere must be shown to withstand

required to pass the 100 day acid test as detailed in Clause 1.2.2 of this Part.
100 Day Acid Test General
When directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall conduct 100 Day Acid Tests as described in CML
5-97 to demonstrate the ability of materials for use in contact with Sewerage or sewer atmosphere to
withstand corrosion.
When this test is required by the Engineer, it shall not relieve the Contractor from any other testing
obligations under the Contract.
For purposes of 100 day acid test, materials shall be considered in two categories as follows:
Materials which serve a primary purpose other than protective (Category 1)
Materials which protect other materials (Category 2).
Samples
The Contractor shall take and provide samples for testing in accordance with CML 5-97 to the
approval of the Engineer.
HALLIBURTON, UAE
If the interim report prepared on the basis of visual observations at 75 days is satisfactory, the
Contractor may request the Engineer's approval to the use of the material before completion of 100
days. Approval shall be at the discretion of the Engineer, and the use of the materials shall be entirely
at the Contractor's risk. The removal and replacement of materials so used and which subsequently
fail the test, as well as any related or consequential work shall be an obligation of the Contractor
under the Contract.
Based on the results at 100 days, materials shall be deemed to be unsuitable for use in contact with
Sewerage or sewer atmosphere in the opinion of the Engineer the tested samples fail to satisfy any of
the following requirements:
Category 1 materials
The surfaces of the samples shall not be corroded
The surfaces of the samples shall not differ significantly from the control sample
Category 2 materials
The underlying material shall not be corroded
The surface of the samples shall not be corroded
The surface of the samples shall not differ significantly from the control sample
There shall be no change in surface hardness
There shall be no splits, cracks, blisters or delamination.
4.2 Testing of Pipelines
4.2.1 General
The Contractor shall submit for the Engineer's approval details of his proposed methods and
programme for testing (including details of test equipment) and shall arrange for all test to be
witnessed by the Engineer or other person appointed by the Engineer. Test equipment shall be
approved by the Engineer and calibration certificates when requested by the Engineer shall be
submitted. The Contractor shall provide all equipment necessary for carrying out testing and cleaning
including pumps, gauges, piped connections, stop ends, and all other temporary works. All water

by the Engineer who may lay down certain restricting conditions. In addition to any tests of individual
joints or other interim tests which may be designated elsewhere, the Contractor shall submit all parts
of the pipelines to a final test.
All pipelines shall be tested between manholes or valve chambers not exceeding 400 m.
On completion of testing the section of pipeline shall be properly sealed to prevent the intrusion of any
extraneous matter, until connected to the pipeline network. The seal should be fitted with a valued
vent to allow equalization of pressure before removal.
All flexible pipelines shall be tested for deflection as per Clause 4.3.6 of this Part.
4.2.2 Sewer Pipelines
HALLIBURTON, UAE
Each pipeline 600 mm or less in diameter shall be tested by air test. Should any pipe fail the air test,
the Engineer may order a water test to be carried out. Acceptance of the pipeline will then be based
on the results of the water test. All pipelines upto and including 1200 mm shall be tested by air test in
accordance with the requirements of BS 8005 : Part 1, Section 5.
The Contractor shall, at his own expense, furnish all equipment and materials for making the tests.
Each pipeline shall be tested before backfilling and also after backfilling before carrying out road
reinstatement or laying new road surfacing. Where the pipeline is located under a new road
alignment, the pipeline will be tested after sub-base compaction in complete. All pipelines shall be
subjected to pass infiltration tests as specified herein. All pipes are to be clean and empty at the time
of testing. Tests shall be performed in the presence of the Engineer.
4.2.2.1 Air Test:
The Contractor shall plug all pipe outlets with suitable plugs, and brace each
Plug securely where needed Air shall be pumped in slowly to the pipe until a pressure of 100 mm
water gauge is indicated on a manometer connected to the system. After the internal pressure of 100
mm water gauge is obtained, 5 min shall be allowed for the air temperature to stabilize within the pipe
air may be added to restore the pressure to 100 mm water gauge. During a further period of 5 min,
the pressure shall not fall below 75 mm water gauge without further pumping.
4.2.2.2 Water Test
All the joints of the pipeline shall be able to withstand a pressure of a minimum 5 m head of water,
above the crown of pipe at the highest point of pipeline without leakage. A layer of embedding soil
equal to the diameter of pipe shall be laid over the pipe to prevent the lifting of pipe while applying test
pressure. However, all the joints shall be left open for the purpose of inspection for leakage if any. All
branches and open ends shall be closed with stoppers, secured with longitudinal braces/thrust block,
before testing begins
Water shall be filled from the lowest point-and air allowed to escape through an air vent fixed for the
purpose at the high points of the pipeline section under test. The diameter of air vent shall be about
one and half times the diameter of water inlet pipe to allow easy escape of air. No entrapped air shall
remain in the pipeline while testing.
a pressure of 5 m head of water shall be maintained for one hour to allow initial absorption of water.
After that the test pressure shall be maintained for 15 min and water added shall be measured. If
water consumption in 15 min does not exceed 0.1 1/ m2 of wetted inner pipe surface and if there are
no visible leakage through joints, the pipeline shall be treated as passed.
4.2.3 Infiltration Test
the upper ends of the sewer and service connections shall be closed sufficiently to prevent the entry
of water and pumping of groundwater shall be discontinued until the groundwater surface reaches its
natural level before beginning the infiltration test
the dewatering system shall be stopped, but not be removed until the infiltration test has been
successfully completed or as otherwise permitted by the Engineer
the infiltration shall not exceed 6 litres per millimetre diameter per kilometre per day of the portion of
sewer being tested, including the length of service connection entering that section
the total length tested in one section shall not exceed 400 m in length. This length is dependent upon
the type of deflection measuring equipment proposed by the Contractor if flexible pipes are used
no gravity pipeline will be accepted if the total infiltration exceeds the above mentioned limit and joints
will not be accepted if during an internal inspection, any infiltration is visible.
