ment, and support. Portions of the trench that are excavated below gradeshould be returned to grade and compacted as required to provide propersupport. If the native trench soil is not suitable for the pipe bedding, thetrench should be over excavated and refilled with suitable foundation materialas specified by the engineer. A cushion of acceptable bedding materialshould always be provided between any hard foundation and the pipe.Large rocks, boulders, and stones should be removed to allow a minimumof 4 inches of soil cushion on all sides of the pipe and accessories.4.2 TRENCH EXCAVATIONThe minimum width of a trench to insure the proper installation of a buriedconduit depends on the pipe diameter, embedment material and compactionrequirements. Trench widths for small diameter pipes are typically determinedby standard excavator bucket sizes. Trenches that are too narrow do not allowfor the proper amount and compaction of embedment material in the haunchzones, while trenches that are too wide result in unnecessary costs.

Proper implements, tools and equipment should be used for placement ofthe pipe in the trench to prevent damage. Avoid dropping pipe and accessoriesinto the trench, as this may cause damage that is not easily detected.Additional handling instructions may be sought from our product installationguides or by contacting JM Eagle . In general, pipe laying should begin atthe lowest point and work toward manholes, service branches or clean-outs.Pipe bells can be laid in either direction, upstream or downstream withoutany significant hydraulic loss. However, common practice is to lay the bellsin the direction of work progress to ease installation. Additionally, by insertingthe spigot into the bell rather than pushing the bell over the spigot, therisk of soil or rubble being scooped under the gasket is reduced. If pipe layingis interrupted or halted, the exposed ends of the pipeline should beclosed to prevent the entrance of trench water, mud and foreign matter.4.4 FoundationA foundation is required when the trench bottom is unstable. Any foundationthat will support a rigid pipe without causing loss of grade or flexural breakingwill be more than adequate for Eagle Corr PE pipe.In cases where muck, peat or other soft material form the foundation, there isa potential for the pipe to settle and loose grade. In cases where rock, rockprotrusions or unyielding material form the foundation, there is a potential fora point load on the pipe or fittings. Both of these cases may affect hydraulicsand/or structural integrity of the system. It is recommended the trench bottombe over excavated and replaced with a suitable foundation, as specified bythe design or geotechnical engineer when these cases exist.4.5 BeddingBedding is required primarily to bring the trench bottom up to grade. Beddingmaterials should be placed to provide uniform longitudinal support under thepipe to prevent low spots. Blocking should not be used to bring the pipeto grade. Under normal circumstances, a bedding of 4 inches to 6 inchescompacted is of sufficient thickness for the bedding. The middle portion ofthe bedding (equal to one-third of the pipe's outside diameter) should beEAGLE CORR PE INSTALLATION GUIDE37
