1. PREAMBLE
SSNNL had decided to opt for UGPL for distributaries, Minors and Sub‐minors to avoid
costly Land Acquisition, Saving in time, to give assured water to each farmers etc. Keeping
in view, the work of preparation of guide line for design of UGPL was awarded to
WAPCOS. The guide line for UGPL was approved by SSNNL vide letter No. DGM (Co‐ordi.)
/ 2012 / PR‐3 / Part‐I dtd.25.10.2013.
According to guide line
i) Minimum 4 kgs / cm2 pressure pipe of PVC / UPVC shall be used for Sub‐minors
ii) Minimum 6 kgs / cm2 pressure pipe and stiffness class ‘B’ type of GRP / HDPE shall
be used for minors and distributaries.
Unit rate is approved by SSNNL for providing and laying of PVC / UPVC pipe up to 400 mm
diameter. Hence in planning, up to 400mm. diameter UPVC pipes are provided and
beyond 400 mm diameter GRP pipes are used.
2.0 The various fittings / structures constructed along UGPL are as below
1) Air valve
2) Scour tee
3) Sluice valve (if required)
4) Thrust and support block
5) Road Crossings
6) Off‐take well
7) Inspection well (RCC) for silt deposition / removal.
8) Stainer in offtaking well fitted on exit pipe.
3.0 The UGPL system is designed for full supply discharge at design FSL hence it is
desirable to run the pipe either at full supply discharge or at a discharge which give
minimum flushing velocity. During first irrigation, scour valves should be let open to
scour out any foreign material deposited. It is desirable to repeat the same process at
the end of last irrigation so that whatever silt deposited in UGPL during irrigation get
scour out.

2. INSPECTION OF UGPL PURPOSES.
Inspection of UGPL should be conducted quarterly in a year for following purposes.
Walk through is necessary for this.
1) To collect facts and to probe for causes till the satisfaction.
2) To find relationship among deficiencies in UGPL
3) To inspect whole UGPL system including structures. particular attention should be
paid to areas where data indicate that change is occurring or where past
deficiencies have been noted.
4) To sketch out deficiency and note its important characteristics.
5) To measure the deficiency
6) Take photographs of deficiency
7) To locate the deficiency relative to same standard reference point. Detailed note
should be prepared.
8) To report the findings of inspection.
Note: As pipe line is buried under ground, it become utmost necessary to keep the alignment
plans of UGPL while conducting walk through so that proper maintenance / repair can
be conducted. The alignment plans shall include.

5. OPERATION OF UGPL SYSTEM
To accomplish the objectives of assured water supply and its equitable distribution the
operation of canal system and rotational scheduling within a chak plays important role in RWS.
There are two important features of the implementation of system as under.
1) Operation of canal system
2) Weekly Rotational Schedule within a chak
As per planning of canal system of S.S.P. there are two category of canals (considering that the
whole canal system is open canal system)
1) Conveyance system
Main canal, Branch Canal, distributary canals.
2) Distribution System
Minor and Sub minor canals.
Conveyance system canals only feed water to the distribution system, where as minors feed
water to sub minors (40 to 50 ha. Chak) and turn out on sub minor feed water to each sub chak
(5 to 8 ha.)
2.1 As decided by SSNNL to construct minor and Sub minor canals as UGPL the UGPL
system has been designed on the same strategy as adopted / planned for open canal
system. In some cases it is also asked to design distributary as UGPL
2.2 It is desirable to run the canals at their designed discharge with designed FSL
2.3 As per planning of Narmada Canals the irrigation water is to be supplied for kharif (16th
June to 15th November) season and Rabi season (16th October to 15th March). Irrigation
water is not to be supplied in hot weather season.
2.4 The system is to be operated either ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’. The period of rotation is generally
kept 7 days. However, considering the constraints of the system, this may be varied to
the desired days considering the capacity of main canal, crop water requirement, depth
of application etc.
3.0 The operation schedule shall be prepared for canal and shall be planned according to
the availability of water
8
4.0 Rotational schedule within a chak. Weekly rotational water system 10 days water
rotational schedule within a chak (40‐50 ha) is to be prepared by agency in consultation
of concerned Dy. Executive Engineer/ Executive Engineer based on the receipt of water
demand forms, showing the time allocation (per rotation) to each of the beneficiary of
a chak out let specifying the day and time (hours) when he will get the water for
irrigation. The time allocated to each beneficiary should be in proporation to the CCA
holding. A format for detailed calculations for RWS is appended herewith.
Steps required for preparing RWS Schedule:
Step1:
Find the service area at the outlet head.
Step2:
Determine the CCA of chak
Step3:
Determine the discharge required for the outlet using the following formula.
i.e. Service Area
Command area of outlet
Step4:
Enlist names of farmers under column3 survey numbers under column4 and CCA under
column5.
Step5:
Find the length of field channel from turnout (i.e. distance of the inlet from the turnout)
and enter under column6.
Step6:
Workout relevant distance from one inlet to subsequent inlet and enter under column7
Step7:
Workout distance between one turnout to subsequent turnout for calculating transport
time and enter under column.8
Step8:
Calculate percentage seepage loss at the rate of 3% per 100 meters for the distance
under column6 and enter under column9
9
Step9:
Calculate dividing factor by deducting losses from column10 and by dividing it with 100
Step10:
Calculate notional area by dividing CCA by dividing factor and enter under column11.
Step11:
Calculate the transport time (TT) at the rate of 0.1 hr/100 mts of related distance
(under column7 and distance between T.O.) and enter under column12.
Step12:
Calculate base time (BT) from the following formula.
BT = 168 – total of column 12
Total notional area (i.e. total of clumn11)
Step13:
Calculate time allocated and enter under column13 Time allocated = NA * BT =
Column11 * BT
Step14:
Calculate final time allotted and enter under column14. Final time =Time allocated + TT
Step15:
Covert final time into hours and minutes and enter under column.15
Step16:
Prepare the weekly schedule starting from 8.00 AM and go on adding the final time and
obtain timings for each field.

8. REPAIR OF PVC/UPVC PIPES
The underground PVC/UPVC pipes can sustain damage due to encroaching tree or plants roots
or from animals digging underground. For repair of PVC/UPVC pipes following steps should be
followed.
Step 1:
Locate the leakage.
Step 2:
Turn of the UGPL system.
Step 3:
Dig along the side and top of UGPL. Locate the leakage, expose the surrounding area
along sides to know further damage if exists.
Step 4:
Evaluate whether the entire pipeline is to be replaced or just the section of the pipe.
Step 5:
Wipe down the area to be repaired with a rag. The dry area will allow the sealant to
stick and repair.
Step 6:
Cut down a section of pipe by sawing through the pipe about 15 cm’s on each side of
damaged area to ensure that any hairline fractures or damaged area can also be
repaired. Pipe should be cut square and remove the burns that are on the inside and
outside of cut pipes.
Step 7:
Remove the tree or the plant roots if any of the surrounding of damaged pipe area up
to about 1.2m.
Step 8:
Cut a new portion of PVC / UPVC pipe to be fitted in place of cracked / damage pipe.
Make sure that it will fit snugly and securely without any gaps.
15
Step 9:
Apply the silicon sealant along the ends of each side of the new PVC / UPVC pipe. Place
the new section in place along the line, securing it in place. Hold it for several minutes
to ensure it will not slip. Brush off nay excess glue or beading.
Step10:
Install the coupling joints to telescopic coupler over each of the sealant lines. Tighten
them securely in place and let them set for at least two hours.
Step11:
Turn the UGPL on and test the UGPL to see that there is no leakage. Let the system run
for at least for 30 minutes.
Step12:
Place the surround dirt back around the PVC pipe and cover it up completely as before.

9. REPAIR OF GLASS FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC PIPES (GRP)
Damaged GRP pipes can be repaired quickly and easily by qualified person only at jobsite. The
repair design depends on the wall thickness, wall composition, application & type of extent of
damage. Pipe manufacturer’s consultation is necessary before repair damaged or defective
pipes.
Following damages generally do not need to be repaired:
(1) Scrapes & gauges on the pipe exterior are less than 10 percent of the wall‐pipe thickness.
(2) Scratches, Scrapes and abrasion that do not penetrate through the entire liner.
Damaged pipe can either be replaced or repaired. During repair, the pipe line should not be
under pressure and the area to be repaired must be dry throughout the procedure. Following
repair techniques can be used in consultation with the pipe manufacturer.
(1) Patching (for small areas).
(2) Cut out & replace
(3) Repair Clamps/ Couplings
(4) Hand Lay‐Up
(5) Flexible Steel couplings
The repair to GRP pipe is job specific & should be decided in consultation with pipe
manufacturer.
REPAIRS TO SMALL DIAMETER GRP PIPES:
Following steps should be followed: ‐
(1) Shut‐ off the water flow in pipe.
(2) Locate the damage.
(3) Clean the Pipe surface.
(4) Roughen the pipe surface to approximately 60 microns and inscribe the lines on the
surface of the GRP pipe in various directions so that the adhesion of epoxy coating can
attain high bonding strength.
(5) Prepare suitable amount of epoxy stick & suitable length of stainless steel pipe clip. Mix
the epoxy sticks and tighten the pipe clip beside the pipe leak. Slide the stainless steel
pipe clip and tighten the adjustable fastener of stainless steel clip slightly on the leak
location.
17
REPAIR A DEFECTIVE PIPE SECTION
(1) Locate the pipe segment mechanically damaged and determine the extent of damage
(2) Cut out the damaged pipe section including safety margin of approximately 30 cm’s
distance on each side of damage.
(3) Cut a repair pipe to a length around 1 to 2 cm shorter than the damaged section cut
out of the pipe line. Chamfer the cut edges.
(4) Use mechanical couplings and slipped them on the exposed pipe ends.
(5) Insert the repair piece.
(6) Slip the mechanical couplings back to the previously marked mounting depths & lock
them. Use lubricant on mechanical couplings if required.
REPAIR OF GRP PIPE WITH LAMINATE:
This requires special skills and only qualified person may repair the Pipe with laminate.
Hand Lay‐up Repair:
Job specific lay‐up instructions shall be obtained from pipe manufacturers. Some
manufacturers provide field lay‐up kits individually prepared for pipe diameter and pressure
rating. Kits include premeasured Rasin, Catalyst & precut glass‐mat. The ambient temperature
should be between 15 to 38 degrees Celsius & the repair should be protected from sun while
curing. Lay up repair require clean, controlled condition and skilled trained personnel.
COMPOSITE PIPE WRAPPING:
Apply suitable reinforcement laminates (e.g. fibreglass repair tapes) to the pipe section. When
performing pipe wrapping the fibber glass tape should start at least 10 to 20 cm before the leak
area. Wrap the pipe as tightly an evenly as possible, pulling with sufficient strength during each
round of wrapping. Apply with at least 50 % overlap & ensure that the wrapping thickness &
length of repair complies the recommendation of the manufacturer. The wrapping should be
done in one direction. It is advisable to alternate subsequent rolls of fibreglass in another
application direction so as to achieve maximum strength.
Allow the repaired area to be cured for several hours.
