sending <strong>of</strong> such lists or statements by the Contractor, in accordance with the foregoing<br />

provision, was impracticable he shall nevertheless be entitled to authorize payment for such<br />

work, either as daywork, on being satisfied as to the time employed and the labour, materials<br />

The notice given under Sub-Clause 4.12(d) shall describe the physical<br />

conditions in sufficient detail as required by the Employer's Representative<br />

and so that those conditions can be inspected by the Employer's<br />

Representative and shall set out the reasons why the Contractor considers<br />

them to be Unforeseeable. The Contractor shall continue executing the<br />

Works, using all reasonable measures as are appropriate for the physical<br />

conditions, and shall comply with any reasonable instructions the Employer's<br />

Representative may give.<br />

If and to the extent that the Contractor encounters physical conditions which<br />

the Employer' Representative determines are Unforeseeable, gives a Claim<br />

Notice in accordance with Sub-Clause 4.12(d), and suffers delay and/or<br />

incurs Costs due to these conditions, the Contractor shall be entitled subject<br />

Before an extension <strong>of</strong> time for any such delay, or additional Costs is finally<br />

agreed or determined under Sub-Clause 4.12(h), the Employer's<br />

Representative may also review whether other physical conditions in similar<br />

parts <strong>of</strong> the Works (if any) were more favourable than could reasonably have<br />

been foreseen at the Date <strong>of</strong> the Contract. If and to the extent that these<br />

more favourable conditions were encountered, the Employer's<br />

Representative may proceed in accordance with Sub-Clause 3.5<br />

[Determinations] to determine the reductions in Costs and a reduction in any<br />

entitlement to an extension <strong>of</strong> time, which were due to these conditions,<br />

which may be included (as deductions) in the Contract Price and Payment<br />

Certificates. The net effect <strong>of</strong> all adjustments under Sub-Clause 4.12(g)(ii)<br />

and all these reductions, for all the physical conditions encountered in similar<br />

parts <strong>of</strong> the Works, shall not result in a net reduction in the Contract Price or<br />

adopt these revised methods, which may require increases in the working<br />

hours and/or in the numbers <strong>of</strong> Contractor's Personnel and/or Goods, at the<br />

9.3 Retesting<br />

Retesting<br />

If the Works, or a Section, fail to pass the Tests on Completion, Sub-Clause 7.5<br />

[Rejection] shall apply, and the Employer's Representative or the Contractor may<br />

require the failed Tests on Completion, and Tests on Completion on any related<br />

work, to be repeated under the same terms and conditions.<br />

9.4 Failure to Pass Tests on Completion<br />

Failure to Pass Tests on Completion<br />

(a)<br />

If the Works, or a Section, fail to pass the Tests on Completion repeated<br />

under Sub-Clause 9.3 [Retesting], the Employer's Representative may, in its<br />

sole and absolute discretion:<br />

(i) order further repetition <strong>of</strong> Tests on Completion under Sub-Clause 9.3<br />

[Retesting];<br />

(ii)<br />

(iii)<br />

if the failure deprives the Employer <strong>of</strong> substantially the whole benefit<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Works or Section, reject the Works or Section (as the case may<br />

be), in which event the Employer shall have the same remedies as<br />

are provided in Sub-Clause 11.4(b) [Failure to Remedy Defects]; or<br />

issue a Taking Over Certificate, if the Employer so requests.<br />

to cover the reduced value to the Employer as a result <strong>of</strong> this failure.<br />

Unless the relevant reduction for this failure is stated (or its method <strong>of</strong><br />

calculation is defined) in the Contract, the Employer may require the<br />

reduction to be:<br />

(i)<br />

(ii)<br />

agreed by both Parties (in full satisfaction <strong>of</strong> this failure only) and paid<br />

before this Taking Over Certificate is issued; or<br />

determined and paid under Sub-Clause 3.5 [Determinations].<br />

(c)<br />

The Contractor may apply by notice to the Employer's Representative for a<br />

Contractor's opinion, be complete and ready to be Taken Over. If the Works<br />

are divided into Sections, the Contractor may similarly apply for a Taking<br />

Over Certificate for each Section.<br />

The Employer's Representative shall, within 28 days after receiving the<br />

Contractor's application:<br />

(i)<br />

(ii)<br />

issue the Taking Over Certificate to the Contractor, stating the date on<br />

which the Works or Section were completed and Taken Over in<br />

accordance with the Contract, except for any minor omissions,<br />

outstanding work and defects which the Employer's Representative, in<br />

its sole and absolute discretion, is satisfied, will not substantially affect<br />

the use <strong>of</strong> the Works or Section for their intended purpose (either until<br />

or whilst this work is completed and these defects are remedied)<br />

(such outstanding works and defects constituting the "Punch List");<br />

or<br />

reject the application, giving reasons and specifying the work required<br />

to be done by the Contractor to enable the Taking Over Certificate to<br />

be issued. The Contractor shall then complete this work before<br />

issuing a further notice under Sub-Clause 10.1(b).<br />

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Works, or any Section or part <strong>of</strong><br />

the Works, will not be complete and the Employer is not bound to take<br />

otherwise uses a part <strong>of</strong> the Works in accordance with this Sub-Clause 10.2,<br />

the Contractor shall not be entitled to any extension <strong>of</strong> time or any increase to<br />

the Contract Price.<br />

If a Taking Over Certificate has been issued for a part <strong>of</strong> the Works (other<br />

than a Section), the Delay Damages thereafter for completion <strong>of</strong> the<br />

remainder <strong>of</strong> the whole <strong>of</strong> the Works shall be reduced. Similarly, the Delay<br />

Damages for the remainder <strong>of</strong> the Section (if any) in which this part is<br />

11.3 Extension <strong>of</strong> Defects Notification Period<br />

Extension <strong>of</strong> Defects Notification Period<br />

(a)<br />

(b)<br />

The Defects Notification Period for the Works or a Section shall be extended<br />

if and to the extent that the Works, Section or a major item <strong>of</strong> Plant (as the<br />

case may be) cannot be used for the purposes for which they are intended by<br />

reason <strong>of</strong> a defect or damage or failure by the Contractor to comply with any<br />

other obligation <strong>of</strong> the Contract and such extension shall be equal to the<br />

period for which the Works cannot be so used for the purpose intended or, if<br />

instructed in writing by the Employer’s Representative, the Defects<br />

Notification Period shall recommence (and restart from the beginning) from<br />

the date <strong>of</strong> the repair, replacement or making good <strong>of</strong> such defect or damage,<br />

but only in respect <strong>of</strong> that part <strong>of</strong> the Works repaired, replaced or made good.<br />

If delivery and/or erection <strong>of</strong> Plant and/or Materials was suspended under<br />

the defect or damage is to be remedied. The Contractor shall be given<br />

reasonable notice <strong>of</strong> this date.<br />

If the Contractor fails to remedy the defect or damage by this notified date<br />

and this remedial work was to be executed at the cost <strong>of</strong> the Contractor under<br />

Sub-Clause 11.2 [Cost <strong>of</strong> Remedying Defects], the Employer may (at its sole<br />

and absolute discretion):<br />

(i)<br />

carry out the work itself or by others, in a reasonable manner and at<br />

the Contractor's cost and risk, and the Contractor shall pay to the<br />

Employer the Costs incurred by the Employer in remedying the defect<br />

or damage;<br />

require the Employer's Representative to agree or determine a<br />

reasonable reduction in the Contract Price in accordance with Sub-<br />

Clause 3.5 [Determinations]; or<br />

if the defect or damage deprives the Employer <strong>of</strong> substantially the<br />

whole benefit <strong>of</strong> the Works or any major part <strong>of</strong> the Works, terminate<br />

the Contract as a whole, or in respect <strong>of</strong> such major part which cannot<br />

be put to the intended use. Without prejudice to any other rights,<br />

under the Contract or otherwise, the Employer shall then be entitled to<br />

11.5 Removal <strong>of</strong> Defective Work<br />

Removal <strong>of</strong> Defective Work<br />

If the defect or damage cannot be remedied expeditiously on the Site and the<br />

Employer gives consent, the Contractor may remove from the Site for the purposes<br />

<strong>of</strong> repair such items <strong>of</strong> Plant and/or Works as are defective or damaged. This<br />

consent may, at the Employer's absolute discretion, require the Contractor to<br />

cost <strong>of</strong> these items, or to provide other appropriate security approved by the<br />

Employer.<br />

the tests described in the Contract, including Tests on Completion. The<br />

requirement shall be made by notice within 28 days after the defect or<br />

damage is remedied.<br />

These tests shall be carried out in accordance with the terms applicable to<br />

the previous tests, except that they shall be carried out at the risk and cost <strong>of</strong><br />

been completed until the Employer's Representative has issued the Final<br />

Completion Certificate to the Contractor, stating the date on which the<br />

Contractor completed its obligations under the Contract.<br />

The Employer's Representative shall issue the Final Completion Certificate<br />

within 28 days after the latest <strong>of</strong> the expiry dates <strong>of</strong> the Defects Notification<br />

Periods or as soon thereafter as the Contractor has supplied all the<br />

Contractor's <strong>Document</strong>s and completed and tested all <strong>of</strong> the Works, including<br />

Notification Period expired. A copy <strong>of</strong> the Final Completion Certificate shall<br />

be issued to the Employer.<br />

Notwithstanding the issue <strong>of</strong> a Final Completion Certificate, the Contractor<br />

shall be responsible for remedying at its cost and expense any Latent Defect,<br />

as well as any damage to the Works caused by such Latent Defect, which<br />

appears or occurs at any time during the Latent Defect Period. The<br />

Employer's Representative shall give the Contractor written notice <strong>of</strong> any<br />

such Latent Defect or damage. The Employer shall afford the Contractor<br />

such access to the Permanent Works as may be reasonable in all the<br />

circumstances for such purposes. The Contractor shall remedy such Latent<br />

Defect or damage as soon as reasonably practicable.<br />

If the Contractor fails to remedy any Latent Defect or damage within a<br />

reasonable time, a reasonable date may be fixed by (or on behalf <strong>of</strong>) the<br />

Employer, on or by which the Latent Defect or damage is to be remedied.<br />

The Contractor shall be given reasonable notice <strong>of</strong> this date. If the Contractor<br />

fails to remedy the Latent Defect or damage by this notified date the<br />

Employer may carry out the work himself or by others, in a reasonable<br />

manner and at the Contractor's cost (but the Contractor shall have no<br />

responsibility for this work) and the Contractor shall pay to the Employer the<br />

costs reasonably incurred by the Employer in remedying the Latent Defect or<br />

damage. This Sub-Clause shall not relieve the Contractor from any <strong>of</strong> its<br />

warranties, obligations or liabilities under or in connection with the Contract or<br />

otherwise at Law.<br />

11.10 Unfulfilled Obligations<br />

Unfulfilled Obligations<br />

After the Final Completion Certificate has been issued, each Party shall remain liable<br />

the omission <strong>of</strong> the work will result (or has resulted) in this sum not<br />

forming part <strong>of</strong> the Contract Price; or<br />

this cost is not deemed to be included in the evaluation <strong>of</strong> any<br />

substituted work,<br />

then the Contractor shall give notice to the Employer’s Representative<br />

accordingly, with supporting particulars.<br />

(b)<br />

Upon receiving the notice under Sub-Clause 12.4(a), the Employer’s<br />

to give notice in accordance with Sub-Clause 20.1(a), the Contractor shall<br />

written notice to the Employer, to that effect with reasons and interim written<br />

particulars (including details <strong>of</strong> the likely consequences <strong>of</strong> the event on<br />

submit to the Employer's Representative, at intervals <strong>of</strong> 30 days, further<br />

interim written particulars until the actual event or delay caused (if any) is, or<br />

should be, ascertainable, whereupon the Contractor shall as soon as<br />

practicable but in any event within 14 days give a final Claim Notice to the<br />

Employer's Representative including the particulars set out in Sub-Clause<br />

If the Contractor fails to give the initial notice, the further interim particulars<br />

Despite any other provisions <strong>of</strong> the Contract, the Employer or the Employer's<br />

Representative may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time make a<br />

fair and reasonable extension <strong>of</strong> the Time for Completion. The Employer and<br />

the Employer's Representative have no obligation to grant, or to consider<br />

whether they should grant, an extension <strong>of</strong> time and they are not required to<br />

exercise this discretion for the benefit <strong>of</strong> the Contractor.<br />

For the avoidance <strong>of</strong> doubt, a delay caused by any act or omission <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Employer or any failure by the Employer or the Employer 's Representative to<br />

comply with this Sub-Clause 20.1 will not, for any reason, render Sub-Clause<br />

8.7 [Delay Damages] void, invalid or unenforceable, and will not relieve the<br />

Contractor <strong>of</strong> its obligations under Sub-Clause 8.7 [Delay Damages], or limit<br />

the Employer's entitlement to invoke the remedies set out in Sub-Clause 8.7<br />

[Delay Damages] or otherwise to recover Delay Damages.<br />

If more than one event causes concurrent delays and the cause <strong>of</strong> at least<br />

one <strong>of</strong> those events, but not all <strong>of</strong> them, is a cause <strong>of</strong> delay which would not<br />

entitle the Contractor to an extension <strong>of</strong> time under Sub-Clause 8.4<br />

[Extension <strong>of</strong> Time for Completion], then, to the extent <strong>of</strong> the concurrency, the<br />

Contractor will not be entitled to an extension <strong>of</strong> time.<br />

An extension <strong>of</strong> time granted under this Clause 20 is, unless otherwise stated<br />

in the Contract, the Contractor's sole entitlement to compensation for delay or<br />

disruption, including delay or disruption caused by the Employer, whether in<br />

breach <strong>of</strong> the Contract or otherwise.<br />

The requirements <strong>of</strong> this Sub-Clause 20.1 are in addition to those <strong>of</strong> any<br />

other clause which may apply to a claim. If the Contractor fails to comply with<br />

this or another Sub-Clause <strong>of</strong> the Contract in relation to any claim, the Time<br />

for Completion shall not be extended and the Contractor shall not be entitled<br />

to additional payment and/or other relief under the Contract or otherwise in<br />

relation to such claim.<br />

Nothing in this Sub-Clause 20.1 creates an additional right or entitlement <strong>of</strong><br />

the Contractor to an extension to the Time for Completion, additional payment<br />

and/or relief from obligations, where such right or entitlement did not<br />

otherwise exist under the Contract.<br />

Despite any other provision <strong>of</strong> the Contract, the Contractor shall use its best<br />

endeavours, acting in accordance with Industry Best Practices, to mitigate the<br />

effects <strong>of</strong> any event or circumstance which has or may adversely affect the<br />

Works, increase the Contract Price or delay the execution <strong>of</strong> the Works.<br />

until gasket is properly positioned.<br />

- Align pipes carefully before joining.<br />

- Maintain pipe joints free from mud, silt, gravel and other foreign<br />

material.<br />

- Avoid displacing gasket or contaminating with dirt or other<br />

foreign material. Remove disturbed or dirty gaskets; clean,<br />

lubricate and replace before joining is attempted. Use only<br />

manufacturers recommended lubricant.<br />

- Complete each joint before laying next length <strong>of</strong> pipe.<br />

- Minimize joint deflection after joint has been made to avoid joint<br />

damage.<br />

- Apply sufficient pressure in making joints to ensure that joint is<br />

complete as outlined in manufacturer's recommendations.<br />

- At rigid structures, install pipe joints not more than 600 mm<br />

from side <strong>of</strong> structure.<br />

Make watertight connections to manholes or other structures. Provide details <strong>of</strong><br />

proposed method <strong>of</strong> installing pipe stubs in structure walls to ensure a watertight<br />

joint. In the case <strong>of</strong> pre-cast manhole bases an integral joint gasket may be cast<br />

in the manhole wall to receive the pipe stub. In the case <strong>of</strong> cast-in-place manhole<br />

bases the exterior pipe surface in contact with the structure wall shall be<br />

roughened or treated to provide a bond with the concrete. Any grout used to be<br />

non-shrink type.<br />

10.03.6.2 Concrete pipe joints:<br />

- Pipe Interior: Circular pipes 700 mm in diameter and larger, and<br />

arch or elliptical pipe equivalent to 900 mm diameter or larger<br />

shall have interior gap between ends <strong>of</strong> adjacent pipes filled with<br />

mortar. Apply mortar a minimum 7 days after backfilling has<br />

been completed to allow pipe settlement to occur. Finish interior<br />

10.04 FIELD TESTING<br />

10.04.1 General<br />

After the gravity sewers have been laid and backfill has been placed to<br />

600mm above the pipe, a light will be flashed between manholes, or if<br />

the manhole has not yet been constructed, between the location <strong>of</strong><br />

manholes, by means <strong>of</strong> a flashlight or mirrored light, to determine<br />

whether the alignment <strong>of</strong> the main is true and whether any pipe has been<br />

displaced subsequent to laying. If alignment is correct and no other<br />

defects are disclosed, backfilling may be continued. If the test shows<br />

poor alignment <strong>of</strong> the main, misplaced pipes or other defects, such<br />

defects shall be remedied by the Contractor, as required by the<br />

Employers Representative, before the work <strong>of</strong> backfilling proceeds.<br />

After backfilling has been done, the Contractor shall make tests to<br />

ascertain if joints are tight. Leaky or poor joints shall be repaired, or<br />

removed at once by the Contractor to the satisfaction <strong>of</strong> the Employers<br />

Representative.<br />

No section <strong>of</strong> gravity sewer lines shall be tested for leakage before<br />

backfilling in that section has been completed. If this condition has been<br />

fulfilled, the sewer lines shall be tested for leakage between manholes as<br />

the work progresses.<br />

they are jointed and before any concreting or backfilling<br />

is commenced, other than such as may be necessary for<br />

structural stability whilst under test.<br />

2. The pipelines shall be tested by means <strong>of</strong> air and by a<br />

visual examination, in lengths determined by the course<br />

<strong>of</strong> construction, in accordance with a program submitted<br />

by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer.<br />

Generally pipelines will be tested as complete lines or<br />

between manholes. Visual examinations shall be done<br />

by mirror and light, in which case, deviation <strong>of</strong> plus or<br />

minus 20mm, i.e. for 160mm and 200mm pipelines a<br />

75% and 80% clear gauging is required.<br />

3. A further air test as detailed in section 10.7.5.4.2 b)<br />

shall be carried out after the backfilling is complete.<br />

Failure <strong>of</strong> this test may require a water test as detailed in<br />

1 The test pressure for gravity pipelines up to and<br />

including 750 mm nominal bore shall not be less than<br />

1.2m head <strong>of</strong> water above the pipe s<strong>of</strong>fit or ground water<br />

level, whichever is the higher at the highest point, and<br />

not greater than 6 m head at the lowest point <strong>of</strong> the<br />

section. Steeply graded pipelines shall be tested in<br />

stages in cases where the maximum head, as stated<br />

above, would be exceeded if the whole section were<br />

tested in one length.<br />

2 The pipeline shall be filled with water and a minimum<br />

period <strong>of</strong> 2 hours shall be allowed for absorption, after<br />

which water shall be added from a measuring vessel at<br />

intervals <strong>of</strong> 5 minutes and the quantity required to<br />

maintain the original water level noted. Unless otherwise<br />

specified, the length <strong>of</strong> pipeline shall be accepted if the<br />

quantity <strong>of</strong> water added over a 30-minute period is less<br />

than 0.5 litres per linear meter per meter <strong>of</strong> nominal<br />

bore.<br />

3. For man entry Sewers special equipment is available o<br />

test joints or short section pipes insitu.<br />

Gravity pipelines exceeding 750 mm. nominal diameter<br />

shall either have short lengths or each joint individually<br />

tested by means <strong>of</strong> an approved joint testing apparatus<br />

with a hydraulic testing which shall consist <strong>of</strong> a ring to<br />

seal internally the joint surround and enclose the joint<br />

area which shall then be tested by pumping water into<br />

the sealed space until the pressure reaches 0.1N/mm 2 .<br />

A period <strong>of</strong> two hours shall be allowed for absorption.<br />

Thereafter the test pressure shall be maintained for 30<br />

minutes, and make up water shall be pumped in at 5-<br />

minute intervals if necessary to maintain the test<br />

pressure. The average quantity <strong>of</strong> make up water shall<br />

not exceed 0.002 liters per hour per millimetre <strong>of</strong><br />

nominal bore <strong>of</strong> the sewer at any joint tested.<br />

Sewer pipelines exceeding 750mm. diameter shall be<br />

visually inspected internally, before and after backfilling<br />

and any defects shall be remedied.<br />

Where required the sewer shall be tested for obstruction<br />

by the insertion and pulling through <strong>of</strong> twin-coupled<br />

rubber plungers <strong>of</strong> the same diameter as the sewer.<br />

All sewers, which in the opinion <strong>of</strong> the Engineer are<br />

submerged under the water table, shall be tested for<br />

infiltration after backfilling. All inlets to the system shall<br />

be effectively closed and the residual flow shall be<br />

deemed to be infiltration.<br />

b) Air Test for Gravity Pipelines<br />

Gravity pipelines to be air tested shall have air pumped<br />

in by suitable means until a pressure <strong>of</strong> 100 mm head <strong>of</strong><br />

water is indicated in a U-tube connected to the system.<br />

The pipeline shall be accepted if the air pressure<br />

remains above 75 mm head <strong>of</strong> water after a period <strong>of</strong> 5<br />

minutes without further pumping, following a period <strong>of</strong><br />

stabilisation. Failure to pass the test shall not preclude<br />

acceptance <strong>of</strong> the pipeline if a successful water test,<br />

ordered by the Engineer, can subsequently be carried<br />

out.<br />

c) Infiltration Test for Gravity Pipelines and Manholes<br />

1 Gravity pipelines and manholes shall be tested for<br />

July 2012 Page 25


Development <strong>of</strong> Atchchuvali Industrial<br />

Estate in Jaffna District, Sri Lanka<br />

Specifications – Waste Water Drainage System<br />

infiltration after backfilling. All inlets to the system shall<br />

be effectively closed, and any residual flow shall be<br />

deemed to be infiltration.<br />

2 The pipeline, including the manholes, shall be accepted<br />

as satisfactory if the infiltration, including infiltration into<br />

manholes, in 30 minutes does not exceed 0.5 litres per<br />

lineal meter per meter <strong>of</strong> nominal bore.<br />

3 Notwithstanding the satisfactory completion <strong>of</strong> the above<br />

test, if there is any discernible flow <strong>of</strong> water entering the<br />

pipeline at a point which can be located either by visual<br />

or CCTV inspection, the Contractor shall take such<br />

measures as are necessary to stop such infiltration.<br />

4 The above conditions must be met to the satisfaction <strong>of</strong><br />

the Engineer before taking over.<br />

10.7.5.4.3. Testing <strong>of</strong> Pressure Pipelines<br />

1. Gauges used for testing pressure pipelines shall either<br />

be <strong>of</strong> the conventional circular type, not less than 200<br />

mm diameter, calibrated in meters head water, or shall<br />

have a digital indicator capable <strong>of</strong> reading increments <strong>of</strong><br />

0.1 m head. Before any gauge is used, the Contractor<br />

shall arrange for it to be checked independently and a<br />

dated certificate <strong>of</strong> its calibration and accuracy shall be<br />

provided.<br />

2. Before testing, valves shall be checked and sealed, the<br />

sections <strong>of</strong> main filled with water and the air released.<br />

After having been filled, pipelines shall be left under<br />

operating pressure for a period <strong>of</strong> not less than 02 hours<br />

to allow for absorption in to the concrete lining so as to<br />

achieve conditions as stable as possible for testing.<br />

3. The pressure in the pipeline shall then be raised steadily<br />

until the test pressure is reached in the lowest part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

section, and the pressure shall be maintained at this<br />

level, by pumping if necessary, for a period <strong>of</strong> one hour.<br />

The pump shall then be disconnected, and no further<br />

water shall be permitted to enter the pipeline for a further<br />

period <strong>of</strong> one hour. At the end <strong>of</strong> this period, pumping<br />

shall restore the original pressure and the loss measured<br />

by drawing <strong>of</strong>f water from the pipeline until the pressure<br />

at the end <strong>of</strong> the test is again reached. Test pressures<br />

shall be advised to the Contractor by the Engineer, but<br />

shall not be less than the greatest <strong>of</strong> 150% <strong>of</strong> the highest<br />

working pressure or 120% <strong>of</strong> the maximum surge<br />

pressure for the respective pipeline.<br />

4. The permissible loss shall not exceed 2 litres per metre<br />

nominal bore per kilometre length per metre head<br />

(calculated as the average head applied to the section)<br />

per 24 hours.<br />

5. Testing shall not be carried out against closed valves;<br />

suitable methods <strong>of</strong> isolating lengths <strong>of</strong> pipeline shall be<br />

proposed by the Contractor for the approval <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Engineer. These methods shall include for the<br />

restraining <strong>of</strong> the pressure force to the capped ends <strong>of</strong><br />

the pipelines by means <strong>of</strong> thrust blocks or otherwise.<br />

6. In addition to the tests on separate sections, the whole<br />

pipeline shall be tested on completion to the same<br />

pressure and by the same procedures as that outlined<br />

for individual sections.<br />

7. Where a new pipeline is to connect to an operational<br />

pipeline the final connection shall be inspected visually<br />

under normal operating pressure and there shall be no<br />

visible leakage.<br />
