8.14.4 Heavy earth moving equipment used for backfilling should not be brought untilthe minimum cover over the pipe is 90 cm in the case of wide trackedbulldozers or 120 cm in the case of wheeled roaders or roller compactors.8.15. Compaction:-8.15.1 Vibratory methods should be used for compaction. Compaction withindistances of 15 cm to l45 cm from the pipe should be usually done with h<strong>and</strong>tempers. The backfill material should be compacted not less than 95 % ofmaximum dry density.8.16 Fittings <strong>and</strong> specialsAll HDPE fittings/specials shall be fabricated or injection moulded at factory asper IS: 8360 (<strong>Part</strong>-I & <strong>Part</strong>-III) <strong>and</strong> as per IS: 8008 (<strong>Part</strong>-I to <strong>Part</strong>-IX) fittings willbe butt welded on the pipes or other fittings by use of heat fusion.8.17 HDPE bends <strong>and</strong> tee.HDPE bends <strong>and</strong> tee shall be plain square ended conforming to IS: 8360 (<strong>Part</strong>I,II&III). Bends may be fabricated by jointing several small section of pipe toreach the required angel.
