    Pipes for use in motorway communications installations shall comply with Series 1500

    502 Excavation for Pipes and Chambers

    1 Excavation shall comply with Clause 602 and with

    the following:

    (i) (05/04)soft spots existing below the bottomof an excavation shall be removed and the

    resulting voids backfilled with Type 1

    unbound mixture for subbase complyingwith Clause 803 or pipe bedding material

    complying with Clause 503, both well

    compacted, or ST1 concrete in compliance toClause 2602;

    (ii) any additional excavation below the bottom

    of an excavation that is required because the

    Contractor has allowed the bottom tobecome soft or otherwise unacceptable for

    the construction of the pipeline or chambersshall be made good as described in

    sub-Clause 1(i) of this Clause;

    (iii) any excavation greater than the net volume

    required for the Permanent Works below thelevel of any pipe surround shall be made

    good as described in (i) above.

    2 Unless otherwise described in Appendix 5/1, all

    pipes in or under new embankments shall be laid onlywhen the embankment has been formed and compacted

    to formation level under paved areas, to finished

    earthworks level in other areas, or to a level which willgive a minimum cover of 1.2 m to the pipes, whichever

    is the lowest.

    503 (11/05) Bedding, Laying and Surrounding

    of Pipes

    1 Immediately following the excavation of the

    trench, the pipes shall be laid and jointed on the pipebed. Pipes shall be laid so that each one is in contact

    with the bed throughout the length of its barrel. The

    pipes shall be laid at the level and gradients shown onthe Drawings and schedules. The deviation in level

    from that specified at any point shall not exceed 20 mmand in addition the algebraic difference of the deviation

    in level at any two points on each pipe shall not exceed

    30 mm. In the case of socketed or sleeve jointed pipes

    the bed shall be cut away and removed at each socket orsleeve to give a clearance of at least 50 mm, or 100 mmfor trenches in material designated as Hard Material, so

    that the socket or sleeve does not bear on the bed. Pipesshall be laid on setting blocks only where a concrete

    bed or cradle is used.

    Pipes and fittings shall be examined for damage and the

    joint surfaces and components shall be cleaned

    immediately before laying. Measures shall be taken toprevent soil or other material from entering pipes, and

    to anchor each pipe to prevent movement before thework is complete.

    2 Pipes complying with BS 4962 : 1989 which arecorrugated coilable perforated pipes shall, unless

    otherwise permitted in Appendix 5/1, be laid only by

    automatic single pass drain laying machines.

    3 (11/06) Drainage pipe and bedding combinationsshall be selected from the alternatives described in

    Appendix 5/1. The granular material shall consist of

    natural and/or recycled coarse aggregate or recycledconcrete aggregate complying with BS EN 13242.

    Where recycled coarse aggregate or recycled concreteaggregate is used in this Clause, it shall have been

    tested in accordance with Clause 710 and shall not

    contain more than 1% other materials (Class X). Pipe

    bedding, haunching and surrounding material shall be

    as shown on HCD Drawing Numbers F1 and F2, andshall comply with the following:

    (i) (05/04) For pipes on beds shown on HCD

    Drawing Number F1 as Types B, F and S the

    aggregate shall have:(a) (05/04) geometrical requirements in

    accordance with Table 5/3;

    (b) (05/04) a resistance to fragmentation inCategory LA

    50in accordance with

    BS EN 13242, clause 5.2 and Table 9;

    (c) (11/07) a water-soluble sulfate content of

    less than 0.38% of sulfate (as SO3) when

    tested in accordance with

    BS EN 1744-1, clause 10;

    (d) (05/04) all other requirements inCategoryNR

    .

    (ii) (05/04) For pipes on beds shown on HCD

    Drawing Number F1 as Types N and T theaggregate shall comply with the geometrical

    requirements of either Table 5/3 or withTable 5/4, and with the fragmentation, water-

    soluble sulfate content and other

    requirements of (i) above.
