SYSTEM TESTING A. Testing of Gravity Sewers: Testing shall be carried out from manhole to manhole. Branch sewers less than 10 m long connected to main sewer between manholes shall be tested separately. Pipes and joints shall be watertight. Testing of Sewer Piping: 1. Pipelines shall be tested hydraulically in sections during the course of construction. Testing shall be applied to prove the structural soundness of the various units in the line, including pipes, valves and various units in the line, including pipes, valves and anchorages, and to prove water-tightness of the line. Tests shall be applied to sections of pipeline not exceeding 1000 m in length, or such lesser length may be required, and pipe joints shall be left uncovered. Provide pumps, jacks, gauges, struts and apparatus necessary for carrying out the tests. Provide certificates for all gauges issued for testing. Before testing, anchoring of bends shall be complete and branch outlets taking end thrust shall be properly stayed. Test pressure shall be 30 kPa. When testing, the pipeline shall be charged with water and all air released. Care shall be taken during charging of mains to provide free outlets for air and to prevent water hammer. Pipeline shall then be kept under a nominal pressure for a period of 24 hours to allow for absorption. Thereafter, for a period of two hours the amount of water pumped during the period of test shall be measured and shall not exceed a rate of 0.1 liter per millimeter nominal diameter of the sewer per kilometer length of main per 30 kPa head for each 24 hours. If the amount of make-up water in the 2-hour test exceeds the specified quantity, the leaks shall be located and repaired and the test repeated. Test on each section shall be repeated until the specified degree of watertightness has been obtained. Any additional tests required by the Engineer shall be carried out by Contractor without any extra costs to Owner. In addition to the tests in separate sections, on completion, the main shall be tested in whole or in parts to the same pressure and by the same procedure as that outlined for individual sections. No erosion or silting shall be allowed to occur in water courses from the discharge of test water.
