Fig.25: Crossing a shallow river. - Crossing a road The pipe must be buried at a minimum depth of 1m. Use only GI pipe, a GI sleeve or concrete culvert. - Marking blocks To mark the pipe laying, concrete or masonry marking blocks must be installed every 100m, especially at the joints level, and at each sensitive point (junctions, change of direction, etc). Ideally, you must indicate on the blocks the pipe type and diameter, the direction of the flow direction and a block registration number. Fig.26: Marking block. 57
III.6. WORK DURATION AND MANPOWER The time necessary to construct a GFS depends on many factors such as length and complexity of the network, participation and motivation of the beneficiaries, weather, etc. The work requiring specialized workers during the construction of GFS are the pipe laying and the civil work. This work requires the supervision of 1 or several experience technicians. The villagers are generally involved in various works as follows: • The clearing of the future pipeline layout and transportation of equipment, • The trench and foundations digging • The drainage of remaining water and external protection of the various infrastructure works (for example protection fence) In table 14 are indicated the necessary manpower and average completion period of main works of a GFS construction.
