3. Section-1100<br />
TABLE 1100.2: QUALITY CONTROL TESTS DURING CONSTRUCTION<br />
S.No. Material / Work Test / Check Frequency<br />
1. Bedding - Materials (As per specification)<br />
- Length, width and thickness<br />
- Pre <strong>for</strong>mation of cradle to lay pipes in<br />
bedding<br />
- Top and bottom levels<br />
While laying<br />
2. Laying and Jointing of pipe - Invert level Be<strong>for</strong>e back filling<br />
- Longitudinal gradient<br />
- Spacing when 2 or more pipes are laid in a<br />
row or staggered columns.<br />
- Jointing of pipes<br />
3. Backfill - Filling of trench on both sides During filling earth / granular<br />
(simultaneously) material around pipe after<br />
- Tamping around pipe laying<br />
4. Cushion over pipes Thickness While filling<br />
5. Brick/Stone Masonry <strong>for</strong> Clause No 600.7 or Clause 700.7 As per Clause No. 600.7 or 700.7<br />
head walls<br />
6. Side slopes on Head walls - Slope Be<strong>for</strong>e construction of guard<br />
- Stone pitching stones<br />
5.3 <strong>Quality</strong> control checks by AE / EE<br />
The quality control checks by AE / EE are indicated in Table 1100.3.<br />
1. Carry pavement crust, over pipe culverts<br />
2. Keep the trenches free from water until the pipes are<br />
installed and joints hardened.<br />
3. Keep the trench in embankment on either side of pipe<br />
to about one-fourth dia of pipe subject to a minimum<br />
of 150 mm but not more than one-third dia of pipe<br />
or 300 mm.<br />
4. Maintain a longitudinal slope of pipe not flatter than<br />
bed slope to ensure self cleaning (suggested<br />
minimum value 1/100).<br />
TABLE 1100.3: QUALITY CONTROL CHECKS BY AE / EE<br />
S. No. Item / Stage Test / Check Designation of Inspecting Officer<br />
1. Head walls / Return walls Plumbness AE<br />
2. Roadway Camber, width, tolerance in level AE<br />
3. Weep holes Size and Spacing AE<br />
4. Protection works - Material used<br />
- Thickness & length of apron AE<br />
5. Cushion over pipes Thickness of earthwork over pipes EE<br />
6. General Workmanship - Inlet and outlet gradient of pipes EE<br />
- Clear spacing between rows of pipes<br />
- Roadway alignment / camber<br />
C. Do’s and Don’ts<br />
Do’s Don’ts<br />
1. Do not allow humps or dips in the vertical profile of<br />
the road at the location of pipe culverts.<br />
2. Do not use defective pipes or those found damaged<br />
during laying.<br />
3. Do not permit traffic unless the depth of earth filling<br />
above the top of pipe line is at least 600 mm.<br />
