7. PIPE INTERCONNECTION PROCEDURE
The sequence of activities is as shown in the Table hereunder, all these activities are explained briefly in the
subsequent part of the section.
This consist of preparatory works that includes site clearing and mobilization of materials, tools and
equipment required as per Sec. 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0.
After the successful Hydro-testing undertaken by FFC and Chlorine Disinfection undertaken by ACCIONA
AGUA of the permeate line, the new line will now prepare for tapping to the existing DN 1600 pipe line
connected to the existing reservoir.
The surveyor shall check the alignment of each pipes prior to start of any activity.
The crane shall be position as shown in Fig. 1.0 in such a way it can easily hoisted all the necessary
materials needed for the execution of works.

Fig. 2.0 Pipe Layout before Interconnection
With the approval of the Engineer, for the tapping work and closure of valves connected to the DN1600
pipe, AJF crew shall remove the DN1600 blind flange of the existing pipe by removing bolts and nuts.
6.3 DEWATERING
After removing the blind flange, drain the remaining water inside the pipe. If the volume of water inside pipe
is big, pump shall be used and discharge it to the existing drainage manhole.
Install the 1600mm x 1000 reducer by fixing bolts, nuts, washer and gasket. Install also the 1000 mm and
flexible connector that will connect 1000 reducer and the new 1000 mm and permeate pipe.
