stoneware, cast iron or R..C. pipes, to be water tight by filling in<br />

pipes with water before filling in the trenches to the level of 1.5 M<br />

above the top of the highest pipe in the stretch and heading the<br />

water up for the period of one hour or such further time as the<br />

Engineer may direct. The apparatus used for the purpose of testing<br />

shall be approved by the Engineer. The contractor, if required by the<br />

Engineer, shall pump the excavation dry and keep it so during the<br />

period of testing. No test applied to part of a stretch when adding<br />

water from a measuring vessel at regular 10 minutes interval, and<br />

noting the quantity required to maintain the original water level. For<br />

the purpose of this test the average quantity added should not excess<br />

1 litre / hour / 100 linear metres /10 mm of nominal internal<br />

diameter).<br />

c)<br />

Any leakage including excessive sweating which cause a drop in the<br />

test water level will be visible and the defective part of the work<br />

should be removed and made good.<br />

In the case of cast iron rising mains, they shall be tested for a safe<br />

pressure as directed by the Engineer.<br />

The manholes when they have been raised above the highest subsoil<br />

water level expected in the monsoon shall similarly tested for water<br />

tightness as for the pipe lines. The procedure for this shall be as<br />

follows.<br />

The mouths of all pipes entering the manholes shall be suitably<br />

plugged with brick, or wooden any other type of plug. The manhole<br />

under test shall then be filled with water upto the general subsoil<br />

water level and observed for a period of one hour. If the level dose<br />

not drop by more than 50 mm in one hour, it shall be assumed that<br />

the manhole is tight.
