SPECIFICATIONS.
PIPE.
The pipe shall be vitrified or salt glazed clay pipe, having an internal diameter of the size stated, and no pipe shall be accepted that varies in any diameter more than one quarter of an inch from the standard.
All pipe must be smooth, free from bunches and of uniform thickness.
All pipe for the street sewers will be what is known as deep socket pipe ; that for main sewers will be what is known as double strength deep socket pipe, and that for sub-drains will be stand- ard pipe.
Each piece of pipe shall lay at least two feet in length, but three feet lengths would be preferable. 1
The Y branches for house connections must. be of the same quality of pipe as the line of pipe in which they are introduced. The Y branch will be six (6). inches in diameter unless otherwise specified, and will be closed with a plug or stopper as laid.
On all brick sewers slants will be introduced on an average once in thirty (30) feet where the sewer is laid in the street, and these slants will be plugged the same as the Y branches of the pipe sewers.
BRICKS.
The bricks to be used in brick sewers, manholes, etc., must be hard burned, square face bricks, and no soft or light colored bricks of any description will be allowed to be used.
CEMENT.
All cement of the different brands specified in the detailed speci- fications for different parts of the work must be finely ground, fresh burned cement, subject to the inspection and acceptance of the engineer of the town. The rejection of ten (10) casks of cement
185
in a carload, for any suitable reason, will warrant the rejection of the entire carload. All cement must be furnished in paper lined barrels and kept stored under cover until taken out on the street for use from day to day.
CASTINGS.
All castings for manhole and lantern hole tops must be smooth, tough castings and conform to the detailed drawings furnished for the same. All covers must be chipped smooth so that they will fit readily and easily in any position into their frames.
LAYING.
In laying pipe sewers without a sub-drain the trench must be at least one foot nine inches wider than the external diameter of the pipe which is to be laid therein. It must be excavated to such a depth that when the pipe is laid upon the hard natural bottom ex- cavated for it it will be at the grade and line called for.
The bottom of the trench must be excavated to a circle con- forming to the outside diameter of the pipe for at least one-half the length of the pipe and the pipe carefully laid thereon. The other half of the length of the pipe in the trench will be excavated below the grade of the outside of the pipe sufficient to receive the bell of the pipe and make the joint thereon.
After the pipe has been placed to conform to the line and grades given and the spigot end of one pipe inserted in the adjoining pipe, a hemp gasket, made of twisted or braided hemp and soaked in a grout of neat Portland cement, shall be driven into the annu- lar space between the outside of the spigot and the inside of the bell, so as to make the former central in the latter. The advanced piece of pipe, that is the piece next beyond the joint partially made, shall then be buried for at least two-thirds of its diameter in fine material, packed under and around the pipe with sufficient force to insure the stability of the pipe. The remainder of the joint shall then be made by completely filling the joint with mortar and rounding up around the outside of the spigot a ring . of cement mortar nearly as large as the bell on the adjoining pipe. This mortar shall be forced into the joint and wiped around
186
the spigot of the pipe by hand. The mortar shall be composed of three-fourths pure Portland cement and one-fourth clean, sharp sand tempered with water until it has a consistency to make it hold in place around the under side of the pipe. When the joint has thus been made the remaining space underneath and at the sides of the pipe must be filled with sand or with fine and suitable ma- terial, care being taken in packing the under side of the pipe, not to force in or cause the cement mortar to slump. After the under side of the pipe to the extent of one-half its lower diameter has thus been buried the remainder of the pipe may be covered by carefully shoveling fine material around and over the pipe, pack- ing the same tightly, by hand or suitable wooden rammers, until the entire pipe is covered to a depth of two inches over the top, after which and at proper time the remainder of the trench may be filled in the manner hereafter specified.
In making each joint there shall be on the inside of the pipe opposite to that joint an approved form of rubber follower, which shall either prevent the cement mortar being forced into the pipe as the joint is made, or if forced in shall remove the same and leave the joint perfectly smooth on the inside as it is withdrawn ; the style of follower to be such as may be acceptable to the engineer of the town.
Wherever branches are to be introduced the Y shall project up- wards at an angle of about twenty (20) degrees above the hori- zontal, and the opening of the Y plugged with a vitrified clay plug or stopper, carefully cemented into the Y.
Where sub-drains are to be laid the trench shall be excavated to a width nine (9) ·inches greater than where no sub-drains are laid, and at least one foot deeper.
The bottom of the trench where the sub-drain is to be laid shall be excavated the same as if the main sewer pipe was to be laid therein, the pipe laid in it, the spigot end of one being made central in the other by the use of suitable stoneware plugs, and one-half of the joint on the under side of the pipe to be filled with cement mortar the same as specified in making the joints of the main sewer pipe.
·
187
After the joint has been made it shall be buried in fine material as specified in the other work, and then the trench shall be filled around and over the sub-drain with screened gravel or other suit- able material, as the engineer in charge may specify. This gravel to be rammed with wooden rammers to a uniform, hard surface and on this surface shall be laid the main sewer pipe as hereinbe- fore specified.
After the main sewer pipe nas been laid, either with or without the sub-drain, the trench shall be filled in layers of six (6) inches, each layer to be thoroughly rammed with suitable iron rammers and the top finished off with macadam, or such other material as the top of the street in which the excavation was made was originally composed of, and the top surface left with a suitable crown, as may be specified by the engineer for the different kinds of materials with which the trench may be filled.
In filling the trench no stone over six inches in any diameter shall be put in, nor shall any stone other than coarse gravel stones be put in within six (6) inches of the pipe. Nor shall any stone other than those found in the coarse gravel be placed contiguous to another stone.
After filling the trench, all surplus material should be removed from surface of the street and deposited at such point (not to ex- ceed 800 feet from where it is found) as the engineer in charge may direct.
In rock excavation the rock shall be excavated to make a smooth, straight trench, the same as any other material, except that it need not be wider than to permit the introduction of the pipe, the making of good and thorough joints and the re-filling under and around the pipes of at least six (6) inches of suitable ma- terial before the bottom or sides of the trench are reached.
After laying, no main sewer-pipe that does not conform to the line and grade, so that a light can be seen between man-holes or hand-holes, shall be accepted, but will have to be relaid until it does so conform to line and grade.
Whenever water is found in any of the trenches to such an ex- tent that a reasonably dry, hard bottom cannot be obtained,
1
188
pumping-shafts or wells must be erected at suitable points, and pumps-either hand or power, as the circumstances may require- be erected at the same, and the water as it accumulates removed.
After sub-drains have been laid, clear water may be allowed to waste through them, but no water shall be drawn or turned directly from the trench into them; but the water must be col- lected in some form of catch basin, so that all sediment or foreign material will be deposited, and nothing but the clear water flow into the drain.
If at any point the foundation should be found to be soft, spongy, or in any way yielding, it must be removed to a sufficient depth, under the direction of the engineer in charge, and its place supplied with gravel or such other material as the engineer may direct.
Wherever the sides of the trench are in soft material, suitable sheeting, to prevent all caving, must be used. In fact, any and all precautions that are necessary to insure the laying of the pipe upon dry, hard foundations without danger from falling or caving of materials until the pipe is laid, the joint made and covered, must be taken.
Wherever ordered, man-holes and lantern-holes and flush tanks shall be introduced and built according to the detailed specifi- cations hereinafter contained.
BRICK SEWERS.
In laying brick sewers, the excavation at the bottom need be no wider than the outside maximum diameter of the sewer, and the excavation must be made to conform as nearly as possible to the shape of the outside of the bottom of the sewer.
If the bottom is sufficiently hard to support the sewer, no con- crete or other foundation will be introduced, but where the bottom is soft, plastic or yielding, then a concrete foundation will have to be introduced, which concrete foundation will be of such general dimensions as circumstances may require, and as the engineer in charge may direct.
All concrete shall be made either with one part fresh-burned Rosendale cement mixed with five parts of coarse gravel, or with
189
one part fresh-burned Rosendale cement mixed with two parts of clean, sharp sand and four parts of broken stone, the largest dimension of any stone being two inches. The concrete shall be mixed with a sufficient amount of water so that when rammed into place with iron rammers as light moisture shall flush to the top surface.
In all cases where concrete is used it shall be at least six (6) inches wider than the outside dimensions of the sewer on each side ; a bottom course of sufficient thickness shall be put in place and then as the sewer is built the bricks shall be backed up with the concrete to the spring line of the top arch of the sewer.
In laying bricks the invert shall be laid with mortar composed of one part of fresh burned Rosendale cement and one part of clean, sharp sand.
All brick in the invert shall be laid to lines drawn between formers giving the exact shape and size of the sewer.
All joints shall be laid full and flush, and one course shall not be laid upon the other until its joints have been thoroughly filled. All inside joints on the invert shall be trowel struck and the whole inside made smooth and true.
The arch of the brick sewers shall be laid upon suitable centers. All joints shall be flushed full, and the outside, when done, shall be plastered.
The mortar used in laying the bricks of the arch and in plaster- ing the same shall be composed of one-third fresh Rosendale burned cement and two-thirds sharp, clean sand. No mortar shall be used that has been mixed over four hours.
Slants shall be introduced into the brick sewers that have been laid in the public streets and highways on an average of once in thirty (30) feet. They shall be laid at such angle as the engineer may designate at about the spring line of the arch. They shall be thoroughly imbedded in the masonry and their ends plugged with vitrified clay plugs cemented in place.
After the arch has been built and plastered the trench shall be filled at the sides and over the top with fine material carefully placed and rammed to at least four (4) inches above the top of
190
the arch, after which the remainder of the trench may be filled in the same manner as specified for filling the trenches for pipe sewers.
MANHOLES.
Wherever a branch sewer is to connect with another it must be done at a manhole built in conformity with detailed plans as shown.
The ends of the pipes of the sewers must just enter the brick walls of the sides of the manholes at their proper elevations and line. The bottom of the sewer will be made of concrete as speci- fied, and in the top surface of the concrete will be built semi-cir- cular channels to connect the flow from the branch pipes to the main pipes, all as shown.
Wherever manholes are introduced and there are no connecting pipes, they may be oval, as shown in the detailed drawings, Plan No. 2, their use being merely for entrance to the sewer for clean- ing and inspecting.
Wherever there is a change in grade or line on which no manhole is built, a lantern hole must be introduced, built in conformity with the details as shown on Plan No. 2.
At the head of each line of main sewer pipe will be introduced a flush tank. This tank will be a circular manhole built as shown in the details of Plan No. 2, having a circular partition wall through it, and passing from one side of this wall to the other a cast iron siphon pipe. The inside of these flush tanks to the top of the partition wall are to be plastered with a mortar composed of one part clean, sharp sand and three parts pure Portland cement. At a point above the partition wall will be introduced a two-inch water pipe with suitable stop cock and wrench, so that it may be turned from the surface of the ground.
In all excavations where the depth from the surface of the street to the center of the pipe is greater than eight (8) feet the manholes and flush tanks shall be built vertical to the height shown on the plan, and the taper shall be made less than shown, in order that the diameter at the top may be the same, regardless of the depth.
