SECTION 03400 TRENCH EXCAVATION AND BACETML COMPACTION
03400.1 DESCRIPTION
The work covered by this section consists of the excavation and satisfactory disposal of all
materials excavated in the construction of trenches.
Trenches will be defined as all excavation for the installation of storm sewers, sanitary sewers,
waterlines, manholes, catch basins, hydrants, gate valves, sewer services, water taps, drainage
structures, drainage ditches and other unclassified excavation as may be deemed necessary by the
Engineer.
03400.2 GENERAL
The excavation shall be done to the lines,grades,typical sections,and details shown on the plans
or established by the Engineer. All work covered by this section shall be coordinated with the
grading, construction of drainage structures, and other work along the project, and shall be
maintained in a satisfactory condition so that adequate drainage is provided at all times. Any
roots, which protrude into the trench, shall be trimmed flush with the sides of the trench.
Trenches for the pipeline shall be completed before the pipe is installed unless otherwise
permitted by the Engineer/or Owner.
All excavation shall be by open cut unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer.If the bottom of
the excavation is found to consist of rock or any materials that cannot be excavated to give a
uniform bearing surface, the material shall be removed at a depth of at least 6 inches below
established bottom grade and backfilled to bottom grade with sand and thoroughly compacted in
place. Any excavations carried below the depths indicated, without specific directions, shall be
backfilled in the same manner. The excavation shall be of sufficient width to allow a clearance of
not less than 6 inches between the side of the trench and the outside of the pipe, or in case of
pipe with a bell, the outside of the bell of the pipe. This rule will apply at all times, and
consequently, proper allowance must be made for additional space required for sheeting the
trench where necessary.Maximum trench width,unless as otherwise authorized by the Engineer,
as measured at a depth of 2 feet above the top of the pipe shall be 30 inches or 10 inches
clearance from the outside of the pipe, whichever is greater.
SHEETING AND BRACING TRENCHES: If necessary,the Contractor,will be required to
keep the sides of the excavation vertical by sheeting and/or bracing and to prevent movement by
slides or settling of the sides of the trench,in such a manner as the Engineer/or Owner may direct
to prevent injury or displacement of the pipe or appurtenances or diminish the working space

required at the side of the pipe.Also the Contractor may be required as directed by the Engineer
to leave sheeting and bracing in place for the purpose of preventing injury to persons or property
or adjacent structures in place or to be constructed.
No sheeting or bracing shall extend closer than 2 feet from the ground surface, or within sub-
grade, and no timbers shall be left in the trench that may form pockets or cavities that cannot
easily be filled during the operation of backfilling and compacting the trench backfill. It is
understood that the Owner will be under no obligation to pay for sheeting or bracing left in place
by the Contractor. Failure to sheet and brace trenches or other excavations shall be the
Contractor's risk, and he will be held responsible for caving, settlement, and all other damage
resulting there from, If the Engineer is of the opinion, that at any point, sufficient or proper
supports have not been provided, he may order additional supports put in at the Contractor's
expense,but compliance with such orders shall not release Contractor from responsibility for the
sufficiency of such supports.
03400.3 EXCAVATED MATERIALS
Excavated materials to be used for backfill will be approved by the Engineer, and if acceptable
shall be neatly deposited at the sides of the trenches where space is available. Where stockpiling
of excavated material is required, the Contractor shall so maintain his operations as to provide
for natural drainage and not present an unsightly appearance.
Materials, which are in excess to the needs of the project, will be disposed of according to
section 02227.
03400.4 BACKFILL AND COMPACTION
Backfill trenches immediately after approval of the pipeline construction according to section
3303.4.

05100.2 MATERIALS
Aggregate base course materials shall consist of crushed stone or uncrushed gravel, or other
similar material having hard, strong, durable particles free of adherent coatings.
The Contractor shall furnish aggregate base course material produced in accordance with the
requirements indicated herein for Type A, aggregate unless otherwise specified in the special
provisions.
All aggregates shall be from approved sources. Sources will not be approved unless the material
has satisfactory soundness and satisfactory resistance to abrasion. Satisfactory soundness will be
considered to be a weighted average loss of not greater than 15 percent when subject to 5
alternations of the sodium sulfate soundness test in accordance with AASHO T104. Satisfactory
resistance to abrasion will be considered to be a percentage of wear of not greater than 55
percent when tested in accordance with AASHO T96.
Aggregates shall be handled in such a manner as to minimize segregation.
Sites for aggregate stockpiles shall be grubbed and cleaned prior to storing aggregates, and the
ground surface shall be firm, smooth, and well drained.A cover of at least 3 inches of aggregate
shall be maintained over the ground surface in order to avoid the inclusion of soil or foreign
material. Stockpiles shall be built in such a manner as to minimize segregation. When it is
necessary to operate trucks or other equipment on a stockpile in the process of building the
stockpile, it shall be done in a manner approved by the Engineer.
Stockpiles of different types or sizes of aggregates shall be spaced far enough apart, or else
separated by suitable walls or partitions, to prevent the mixing of the aggregates.
Any method of stockpiling aggregates which allows the stockpile to become contaminated with
foreign matter or causes excessive
degradation of the aggregate will not be permitted. Excessive degradation will be
determined by sieve tests of samples taken from any portion of the stockpile over which equipment has been
operated, and failure of such samples to meet all grading requirements for the aggregate will
be considered cause for discontinuance of such stockpiling procedure.

Gradation: All standard sizes of aggregates shall meet the gradation requirements when tested
in accordance with AASHO T27.
05100.3 HAULING AND PLACING AGGREGATE BASE MATERIALS
The aggregate material shall be spread on the sub-grade to a uniform loose depth and without
segregation.

spread and compacted in I layer.Where the required compacted thickness of base is more than 8
inches,the base material shall be spread and compacted in 2 or more approximately equal layers.
The minimum compacted thickness of any one layer shall be approximately 4 inches.
Each layer of material shall have been sampled,tested,compacted, and approved prior to placing
succeeding layers of base material or pavement.
No base material shall be placed on frozen sub-grade or base. Hauling equipment shall not be
operated on sub-grade or a previously completed layer of base material soft enough to rut or
weave beneath the equipment.
The maximum speed of trucks hauling or traveling over any part of the sub-grade or base shall be
5 miles per hour.
The Contractor shall utilize methods of handling, hauling, and placing which will minimize
segregation and contamination. If segregation occurs,the Engineer may require that changes be
made in the Contractor's methods to minimize segregation, and may also require mixing on the
road which may be necessary to
correct any segregated material. No additional compensation will beallowedfortheworkof
road mixing as may be required under this provision. Aggregate which is contaminated with foreign
materials to the extent the base course will not adequately serve its intended use shall be
removed and replaced by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Owner. The above requirementswi1lbe
applicable regardless of the type of aggregate placed and regardless of prior acceptance.
05100.4 SHAPING AND COMPACTION
Immediately after the placing of a layer of the base, the Contractor shall begin machining and
compacting the layer. Each layer shall be maintained to the required cross section during
compaction and each layer shall be compacted to the required density prior to placing the next
layer.
Each layer of the base shall be compacted to a density equal to at least 100 percent of that
obtained by compacting a sample of the material in accordance with AASHO T180 as modified

by the Owner. Copies of these modified testing procedures are available upon request from the
Department of Materials and Tests.
The base material shall be compacted at a moisture content which is approximately that required
to produce the maximum density indicated by the above test methods.The Contractor shall dry
or add moisture to the material when required to provide a uniformly compacted and acceptable
base.
The final layer of the base material shall be shaped to conform to the lines, grades, and typical
sections shown on the plans or established by the Engineer. When completed the base course
shall be smooth, hard, dense, unyielding, and well bonded. A broom drag shall be used in
connection with the final finishing and conditioning of the surface of the base course.
05100.5 TOLERANCES
After final shaping and compacting the base, the Engineer will check the surface of the base for
conformance to grade and typical section and will determine the base thickness.
The thickness of the base shall be within a tolerance of plus or minus 1/2 inch of the base
thickness required by the plans.

The Contractor shall unload pipe so as to avoid deformation or other injury thereto. Pipe shall
not be placed within pipe of a larger size and shall not be rolled or dragged over gravel or rock
during handling. The Contractor shall store the pipe on sills above storm drainage level and
deliver for laying after the trench is excavated. When any joint or section of pipe is damaged
during transporting, unloading, handling, or storing, the undamaged portions of the joint or
section may be used where partial lengths are needed, or, if damaged sufficiently,the Engineer
will reject the joint or section as being unfit for installation.
If any defective pipe is discovered after installation, it shall be removed and
replaced with sound pipe or shall be repaired by the Contractor in an approved
manner and at his own expense.
07120.3 PIPE ALIGNMENT AND GRADE
The layout of gravity sanitary sewer lines and invert elevations at governing points are as shown
on the drawings.
The Contractor shall do all layout work for lines and grades from that information shown on the
drawings or as furnished by the Engineer.
When a laser beam instrument is used to set line and grade, the unit must be maintained in good
working order, and the calibration checked daily for both alignment and percent grade. In the
event the required accuracy of alignment and grade is not adhered to,the Engineer will prohibit
the use of laser beams.
07120.4 PREPARATION OF PIPE FOUNDATION
The pipe foundation shall be prepared to be uniformly firm and shall be true to the lines and
grades as shown on the plans. The preparation of the pipe bedding shall be in accordance with
the typical trench cross sections as shown on the drawings.

Under no circumstances shall pipe be laid in water, on rock, or when trench
conditions or weather is unsuitable for such work.
Whenever the nature of the ground will permit,the excavations at the bottom of the trench shall
have the shape and dimensions of the outside lower third of the circumference of the pipe, care
being taken to secure a firm bearing support uniformly throughout the length ofthe pipe.A space
shall be excavated under and around each bell to sufficient depth to relieve it of any load and to
allow ample space for filling and finishing the joint. The pipe,when thus bedded firmly, shall be
on the exact grade. In case the bed shaped in the bottom of the trench is too low,the pipe shall
be completely removed from position, and earth of suitable quality shall be placed and thoroughly
tamped to prepare a new foundation for the pipe. In no case shall the pipe be brought to grade by
blocking up under the barrel or bell of same,but a new and uniform support must be provided for
the full length of the pipe. Where rock or boulders are encountered in the bottom of the trench,
the same shall be removed to such depth that no part of the pipe, when laid to grade, will be
closer to the rock or boulders than six(6) inches. A suitably tamped and shaped foundation of
approved material shall be placed to bring the bottom of the trench to proper subgrade over rock
or boulders.
Where the foundation material is found to be of poor supporting value, the Engineer may make
minor adjustment in the location of the pipe to provide a more suitable foundation. Wherethis is
not practical,the foundation shall be conditioned by removing the existing foundation material by
undercutting to the depth as directed by the Engineer,within the limits established on the plans,
and backfilling with either an approved material secured from unclassified excavation or borrow
excavation at the nearest accessible location along the project, or foundation conditioning
material consisting of crushed stone or gravel or a combination of sand and crushed stone or
gravel approved by the Engineer as being suitable for the purpose intended. The selection of the
type of backfill material to be used for foundation conditioning will be made by the Engineer.
The Contractor shall remove all water,which may be encountered, or which may accumulate in
the trenches by pumping or bailing and no pipes shall be laid until the water has been removed
from the trench.Water so removed from the trench must be disposed of in such a manner as not
to cause injury to work completed or in progress.
07120.5 PIPE LAYING
Pipe shall be laid with bell ends facing in the direction of pipe laying,unless directed otherwise by
the Engineer. In all cases, pipe is to be installed in strict accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations and the contract material specifications. The Engineer may augment any
manufacturer's installation recommendations if,in his opinion,it will best serve the interest ofthe
Owner.
Proper tools, implements, and facilities satisfactory to the Engineer shall be provided and used
for the safe and convenient prosecution of pipe laying. All pipe and other materials used in the

laying of pipe will be lowered into the trench piece by piece by means of suitable equipment in
such a manner to prevent damage to the pipe, materials, to the protective coating on the pipe
materials, and to provide a safe working condition to all personnel in the trench.Each piece of
pipe being lowered into the trench shall be clean, sound and free from defects.It shall be laid on
the prepared foundation, as specified elsewhere to produce a straight line on a uniform grade,
each pipe being laid so as to form a smooth and straight inside flow line.Pipe shall be removed at
any time if broken,injured or displaced in the process of laying same, or of backfilling the trench.
When cutting short lengths of pipe, a pipe cutter as approved by the Engineer will be used and
care will be taken to make the cut at right angles to the centerline of the pipe or on the exact
skew as shown on the plans. In the case of push-on pipe, the cut ends shall be tapered with a
portable grinder, or coarse file to match the manufactured taper.
During times when pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of pipe shall be closed and no
trench water or other material shall be permitted to enter the pipe.
Where the pipe is laid on a grade of ten (10) percent or greater, the laying shall start at the
bottom of the slope and proceed upward with the bell end of the new pipe upgrade.All pipe laid
on a grade of ten(10)percent or greater shall require thrust blocking and keying as shown onthe
drawings and standard details.
Where pipelines of different materials are joined together a standard sewer repair coupling shall
be used. The couplings shall be Eastern Standard Sewer Repair Couplings (Mission Rubber
Company), the Fernco Joint Sealer Company or an equal product approved by the Engineer.
Only one transition of dissimilar materials will be allowed between manholes.
07120.6 BACKFILLING
All backfill shall be compacted so as not to damage the pipe and appurtenances and shall be
compacted to ninety-five (95) percent of the Standard Proctor Test for the various types of
backfill materials.
Methods of backfilling shall be in strict accordance with the pipe manufacturer's
recommendations.The Engineer/owner shall have approved all backfill materials. Select backfill
material shall be used when requested by the Engineer. Select material shall be defined as a finely
graded material free from stones over one-half(1n2 inch in diameter, plastic clays, organic
material, frozen lumps and various debris and shall be approved by the Engineer prior to its
installation.
Care shall be taken during backfill and compaction operations to maintain alignment and prevent
damage to the joints. The backfill shall be kept free from stones, frozen lumps,chunks of highly

plastic clay, or other objectionable material.All pipe backfill areas shall be graded and maintained
in such a condition that erosion or saturation will not damage the pipe bed or backfill.
Heavy equipment shall not be operated over any pipe until it has been properly backfilled and has
a minimum cover as required by the plans. Where any part of the required cover is above the
proposed finish grade, the Contractor shall place, maintain, and finally remove such material at
no cost to the Owner.Pipe which becomes mis-aligned,shows excessive settlement, or has been
otherwise damaged by the Contractor's operations shall be removed and replaced by the
Contractor at no cost to the Owner.
The Contractor shall maintain all pipes installed in a condition that will function continuously
from the time the pipe is installed until the project is accepted.
07120.7 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

be provided with such channels for all connecting sewer pipes.
07290.3 MANHOLE INSTALLATION
The manhole foundation shall be prepared so as to provide a firm, level area on which to place
the precast concrete manhole base section. When poor foundation soil is encountered or excess
groundwater exists the foundation shall be excavated twelve(12) inches below the final
subgrade elevation backfilled with washed stone to provide a proper foundation.
The manhole sections shall be lifted from the side of the excavation to the bottom of the trench
with equipment and support slings capable of safely handling the heavy concrete pieces. The
manhole shall be set plumb and adjusted to the final finished surface grade with brick and
mortar.

Pipe openings shall be exactly aligned to that of the pipe entering and leaving the manhole. The
gravity sanitary sewer pipelines shall be placed in the manhole openings, properly aligned, and
set to grade. Sanitary sewer shall be connected to the manholes using lock joint flexible
manhole sleeves or equal. For large diameter pipe where a flexible rubber sleeve is not
available the pipeline shall be sealed into the manhole using an expanding type or non-shrink
type grout.
Manhole steps shall be properly spaced as shown in the standard detail drawing, but in no case
more than fifteen(15) inches on center. The steps shall be made of heavy cast iron(10 inch
thick), reinforced plastic(ASTM 2146-Type II), or aluminum(min. load 1000 lbs.).
