Hydraulics, Item 611 Summary

Jeffrey Syar, Administrator Office of Hydraulic Engineering

Item 611 PIPE CULVERTS, SEWERS, DRAINS, AND DRAINAGE STRUCTURES

• This is a Performance Based Specification that encompasses 2010 items: 603, 604 and SS 802.

– SS 802 is now item 611.

Why Change?

• Method based specifications were being faulted when conduit was poorly installed by the Contractor

• Resulted in the Department accepting poorly installed conduit or incurring additional costs during construction

Background

• 1997 – SS802 optional performance based installation specification included on all projects with 603 and 604.

Background• 2008 SS 802 was revamped with the intent of developing

a performance based standard specification

• 2009 SS 802 was required on a number of projects state wide in an attempt to pilot the specification.

• 2012 Projects that are sold after March 31, 2012 and have any Item 603 or Item 604 work and have a construction cost estimate of 10 million dollars or more.

• 2013 Implement C&MS 611 (Page 471)

General Differences

• The contractor develops and executes his own installation plan for all conduit and drainage structures.

• Requires documented coordination between the material supplier and the installer.

General Differences (cont’)

• Conduit and drainage structures require both Installation and Performance Inspection that is tied to payment.

• Contractor is required to repair or replace conduits and drainage structures that do not meet the performance requirements.

• 611 Substantially expanded the acceptable inspection methods and equipment versus SS 802.

How it works• Contractor selects the drainage component materials allowed

by contract (as shown in the plan).

• Contractor develops an installation plan appropriate for the materials selected.

• Contractor installs, monitors and documents the installation.

• Based on contract criteria, the Contractor provides inspection / 3rd party evaluation and certification of Performance.

Conduit• Conduit shown in the plans is designed for

hydraulic capacity and durability only

• Structural design is performed by the Contractor in coordination with the conduit Manufacturer

Submittals

• Shop Drawings• Installation Plan• Construction Inspection Forms• Performance Report

Shop Drawings• Have a Registered Engineer prepare, sign, seal and date all

calculations. Second Registered Engineer checks and seals the submittal as well.

• Allow at least 15 days for the review.

Note:• D load special design reinforced concrete pipe• Concrete precast 3 sided, arches and round

sections• Substitutions involving box culverts and or 3

sided, arches and round sections.

Installation Plan• Trench dimensions

• Identify locations where the conduit is installed in a • cut installation • fill installation

• Type of bedding and backfill material with lift thickness

• Compaction density and equipment proposed for bedding and backfill

• Identify the starting location for each run of conduit

• Maximum allowable joint gap between conduit sections

• Other installation details as necessary

Installation Plan (cont.)• Provide written confirmation from the conduit manufacturer that

the pipe material and strength supplied are appropriate for the material and density requirements described in the installation plan regarding backfill and bedding as well as height of cover. This confirmation by the conduit manufacturer will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for obtaining the required results.

Construction Inspection Forms• Perform work only in the presence of the Contractor’s

representative doing the inspection. Submit construction inspection forms to the Engineer for each run of conduit and each drainage structure.• Form CA-P-1 for conduit• Form CA-P-3 for drainage structures.

• “I certify that the information on this form is accurate and all deviations from the current installation plan have been noted.”

Performance Report• Performance report required for each Performance Inspection

– Separate report for each change in conduit size or change in material type

• Report includes the following:– Project information– Date of inspection– Type and size of conduit– Conduit diameter report from the Manufacturer– Time of video recording– Location – latitude and longitude where conduit crosses centerline of

roadway – for culverts– Summary of all defects and locations– Size of Mandrel and how the size was calculated if using Mandrel– Results from crawler mounted camera with laser profiler if using laser

profiler

Performance Report• Submit performance report within 5 days of

completing a performance inspection to the Project Engineer

Performance Inspection• Notify the Engineer at least five workdays

before conducting a performance inspection.

• A performance inspection is not required for projects that meet all of the following: • All conduit is Type C (Sewers not under pavement)• Conduit plan quantities are less than 100 feet • All conduit has less than 16 feet of maximum fill

height

Performance Inspection (Cont’)• Inspection is performed between 30-90 days after: the – completion of the finished grade when not below pavement

– after the completion of the aggregate base when below pavement.

– after completion of conduit correction

• Engineer may adjust this time frame if the contract duration will not permit a 30 day waiting period.

Performance Inspection (Cont’)• Inspection required for Conduits and Drainage Structures

• Inspection required for any conduit that requires correction

• Inspection may be performed by Contractor

• Ensure the Project Engineer is present during all performance inspection activities

• Project Engineer must be notified at least 5 workdays before conducting a performance inspection

Manual or Remote Inspection• Either Manual or remote inspection are required to measure

cracks, deflections, and joint gaps in conduit.

– Conduits with a rise 48 inches and greater Manual Inspection

– Conduits with a rise of 36 to 48 inches Manual or Remote Inspection

– Conduits with a rise of 12 to 36 inches Remote Inspection

• Drainage Structures are inspected Manually

Manual Inspection

• Manual inspections require entering the conduit or drainage structure to record video and to make measurements - coordinate confined space access per OSHA requirements.

Remote Inspection• Use a crawler mounted camera to record video with

the equipment described in Supplemental Specification 902.

• Remove all debris from the conduits being inspected according to 107.19. Dewater the conduit if the water level hinders the performance of the equipment.

Conduit Inspection - Flexible Conduit• Evaluate:

• If infiltration is observed.• All racking, buckling or denting.• Vertical alignment of conduit – (Ensure there are

no vertical sags in the conduit that trap water)

• Repair or replace conduit if the joint gap exceeds the tolerance (as described in the installation plan) for a length greater than or equal to 1/3 of the circumference

• Repair all coating damage • Repair or replace conduit if deflection > 7.5%.

Conduit Inspection - Rigid Conduits

• Evaluate if infiltration is observed• Evaluate if joint gap exceeds the tolerance* for a length less

than 1/3 of the circumference• Evaluate vertical alignment of conduit – Ensure there are no

vertical sags in the conduit that trap water. Repair or replace conduit if the joint gap exceeds the tolerance* for a length greater than or equal to 1/3 of the circumference

• Repair or replace conduit if cracks > 0.10 inch• Repair or replace conduit if spalls or slabbing are observed

* Maximum joint gap listed in the installation plan

Conduit Evaluation• Have an independent Registered

Engineer evaluate the conduit and any defects as required by AASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specifications (Section 26, 27 and 30) with modifications according to this specification.

• The independent Registered Engineer cannot be an employee of the Contractor or the conduit manufacturer.

Conduit EvaluationCertification Sign off

• “I certify that repairs are not required for the conduit to function as designed and that the conduit meets the design life requirements described in the version of the Department’s Location and Design Manual, Volume 2, Drainage Design, used in the original design.”

• “I certify that this repair plan was designed to ensure the repaired conduit will function as designed and will meet the requirements described in the version of the Department’s Location and Design Manual, Volume 2, Drainage Design, used in the original design.”

Drainage Structure Evaluation

• Drainage Structure Evaluation. Have an independent Registered Engineer evaluate the drainage structures and any defects listed in the table below.

• Certification of Engineer’s finding• repairs are not required …meets the design life • this repair plan was designed to ensure the repaired

drainage structure will function as designed…

Surface Settlements

• Repair any surface settlement within the trench limits or within 4 feet of a drainage structure. Have an independent Registered Engineer evaluate the conduit according to 611.13 or the drainage structure according to 611.14. Perform all repair work at no additional cost to the Department.

Basis of Payment

• Payment for all inspection(s) is included with the contract unit price of the corresponding pay item.

• All required repairs, including any settlement problems, must be made prior to acceptance.

• Department will not make additional payment for repair work on conduit installed under this specification.

Basis of Payment

• The Department will pay for accepted quantities according to the following schedule:• 60% After installation of conduit or drainage
