Contractor will backfill, clean-up, and grade the work to
original condition except for Royal Lane and the access roads
which shall be compacted to the Texas State Department of
Highways & Public Transportation Specification 400.5, which
is as follows:
"General. As soon as practical, all portions of the
excavation not occupied by the permanent structure shall be
backfilled. Backfill material shall be free from large or
frozen lumps, wood or other extraneous material.
That portion of backfill which will not support any
portion of completed roadbed or embankment shall be placed in
layers not more than 10 inches in depth (loose measurement).
That portion of the backfill which will support any portion
of the roadbed or embankment shall be placed in uniform
layers not to exceed six inches in depth (loose measurement).
Each layer of backfill shall be compacted to a density
comparable with the adjacent undisturbed soil.
Each layer of backfill material, if dry, shall be wetted
uniformly to the moisture content required to obtain the
specified density and shall be compacted to that density by
means of mechanical tamps or rammers, except that in use of
rolling equipment of the type generally used in compacting
embankments will be permitted on portions which are
accessible for such equipment.
Page 5
Except for corrugated metal pipe culverts, when tamping
equipment is furnished which, when proven to the satisfaction
of the Engineer, will adequately compact the backfill to the
density required, the 6 inch and 10 inch lifts (loose
measurement) specified above may be increased to heavier
lifts not to exceed 12 inches.
If the excavation has been made through a hard material
resistant to erosion, the backfill around piers and in front
of abutments and wings may be ordered by the Engineer to be
of stone or lean concrete. Unless otherwise provided, such
backfill shall be paid for as extra work.
Ail portions of embankment too close to any portion of a
structure to permit compaction by the use of the blading and
rolling equipment used on adjoining section of embankment,
shall be placed and compacted in the same manner as specified
above for backfill material. These provisions require the
mechanical compaction, by means of either rolling equipment
or mechanical tamps or rammers, of all backfill and
embankment adjoining the barrels and wingwalls of culverts
and adjoining all sides of bridge abutments and retaining
walls, regardless of whether or not such embankment or
backfill is above or below the original surface of the ground
and regardless of whether the excavation at the structure
site was performed as "Structural Excavation", "Road
Excavation", or "Channel Excavation".
Unless otherwise provided by the plans or special
provisions, hand tamping will not be accepted as an alternate
for mechanical compaction. As a general rule, material used
for backfilling the portions described in this paragraph
shall be free of any appreciable amount of gravel or stone
particles more than four inches in greatest dimension and
shall be of a gradation that permits thorough compaction.
When in the opinion of the Engineer, such material is not
readily available, the use of rock or gravel mixed with soil
will be permitted, provided that no particles larger than 12
inches in the greatest and 6 inches in least dimension are
used. The percentage of fines shall be sufficient to fill
all voids and insure a .uniform and thoroughly compacted mass
of proper density. When required by the plans or by written
order of the Engineer, cement stabilized material shall be
used for backfilling.
Ail portions of backfill described in the preceding
paragraph shall be compacted to the same density requirements
specified for the adjoining sections of embankment in
accordance with the governing specifications therefor.
Page 6
Cohesionless materials, with no binder, such as sand,
may be used for general backfilling purposes. Compaction of
cohesionless materials shall be done with vibratory
equipment, water ponding or a combination thereof, as
directed by the Engineer.
17.
Where no embankment is involved on the project and no
specifications therefor are included in the contract, all
backfill shall be compacted to a density comparable with the
adjacent undisturbed material."
Contractor shall furnish the necessary incidental labor to
tap the pipeline for vent and drain connections, install the
vent and drain valves and the removal thereof, to aid in
drain down of the pipeline, to clean the pipe surface
preparatory to cutting, to aid in cutting the pipe with
mechanical cutters and to aid in the venting and refill of
the pipeline.
18.
Contractor will remove approximately 4000 feet of existing
12" line, cut it up into 40 foot lengths, and-.remove from
work site to location designated by Company representative.
Backfilling and clean-up to return grade to original
condition. Compaction to existing soil density required to
replace railroad bed at Minyard's spur railroad track.
19.
Pipeline Markers will be installed at all road crossings and
at all PI's as shown on Attachment XIV, Exhibit "C", Section
22. All Pipeline Marker material to be furnished by the
Company.
20.
Company inspector to obtain written confirmation from
DeShazo, Starek & Tang on all elevations for clearance of
16" water line, channels, and future sewer line crossings and
written confirmation from City of Coppell Inspector on the
compaction of Royal Lane.
Sequence of Work
Contractor is cautioned that the description of work does
not necessarily establish the sequence of work. The sequence of
work will, to a large extent, be determined by Company
representative and Contractor for the overall completion of the
project, the Company's operating schedule and combined
Contractor's work schedule so that there will be no delay in the
continuity of overall work progress during tie-ins.
The shutdown duration will be such as to allow the
evacuation of product, cutting of pipeline, alignment of
fabricated piping, tie-in work and x-rays. Contractor will
continue to expedite work during this period until work
completed. Shutdown date could be a 24 hour advance or delay of
the scheduled shutdown date.
Page 7
The Company representative will not allow the shutdown of
the line for draining until he is assured that the Contractor is
· ully prepared to carry out all work necessary to complete this
phase of work to the tie-ins and x-rays.
Cooperative Work
Drain down, cutting and refill of piping shall involve a
cooperative effort on the part of the Contractor and the Company.
Company will direct this work and will arrange for the
shutdown schedule, the evacuation material and equipment, the
mechanical cutters and operation of the cutters, the venting and
refill of the line.
Contractor shall furnish the necessary incidental labor to
tap the pipeline for vent and drain connections, install the vent
and drain valves and the removal thereof, to aid in drain down of
the pipeline, to clean the pipe surface preparatory to cutting,
to aid in cutting the pipe with mechanical cutters and to aid in
the venting and refill of the pipeline.
NOTE: Contractor shall protect the existing 12" pipeline at all
times from damage, taking care not to strike coating with shovel
points or other sharp edged equipment while hand digging around
pipe. There shall be no hammering or beating on the 12" line for
any reason or with any device. Coating repair shall be made with
Protecto wrap 310 with 1000 primer, after removing damaged
coating and taper trimming around area to be patched. The drain
down of the pipeline, preparation for cutting of pipe,
fabrication piping fit-up, tie-in welds and refill of the line
will be a continuous effort during the shutdown period.
Contractor will supply that personnel, equipment and time needed
to complete this phase of the project from the onset to its
completion. All welds which fail x-ray shall be cut out and
replaced at the Contractor's expense.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION
GENERAL - This Exhibit "C" covers mainline construction
specifications. Specific projects are further described in the
drawings of Exhibit "D" and in the Scope oz Work.
The Scope of Work serves to more specifically describe the
present project. The Scope of Work has and shall be considered
as having full standing as a part of the specifications for this
project. Where descriptions or directions therein are, or appear
to be, in conflict with this Exhibit "C", the Scope of Work takes
precedence and shall prevail over Exhibit "C".
SECTION 1 - ROUTE OF LINE
The pipeline route, special installation details, plan and profile
views will be shown on the various drawings listed in Exhibit "D".
Company will set survey stakes to establish the ditch line and
reference points for the pipe and other installations shown on the
drawings and described in Scope of Work.
Company will furnish as much information as it can reasonably obtain
on locations of other underground structures. Contractor shall
accept this information as an aid only. Contractor shall bear
the responsibility of locating all existing underground
structures and adequately protect such structures from damage as
a result of the construction under this contract.
SECTION 2 - RIGHT-OF-WAY
Company will provide all right-of-way including rights of ingress and
egress at points where such right-of-way crosses or adjoins public
roads. Width and restrictions imposed on right-of-way agreement so
far as they pertain to construction will be made known to the
Contractor. Contractor will abide fully with the conditions of
Company's right-of-way agreements.
Contractor may make agreements with property owners for rights not
covered by Company's right-of-way. Company shall be informed of such
arrangements and be given a written record reasonably detailing the
provisions. Such arrangements will be at the sole risk and cost to
the Contractor.
Company's right-of-way may, in areas, be joint use with others and ma
be subordinate thereto. At points there may be existing structures
above or below ground which must be left in place and protected from
damage.'
Contractor shall be responsible for the investigation and adjustment
of all off right-of-way damages incurred by his activities.
Page 2
SECTION 3 - CLEARING AND GRADING OF RIGHT-OF-WAY
Fences and Gates - Before proceeding with construction
operations, Contractor shall furnish and install a suitable,
substantial gate or gap in every fence at intersection with
right-of-way, for access to land crossed by pipeline and for
passage of construction equipment. Fences shall be reinforced as
necessary to prevent damage. If woven wire fences are
encountered, they must not be cut unless consent of owner and
tenant is first obtained and adequate arrangement made for'
bracing and rebuilding. See Attachment XXIII, Section 20, for
specification and details.
Contractor shall be responsible for keeping gates closed at all
times during performance of work.
Clearing and Grading Riqht-of-Way - Contractor shall clear and
grade right-of-way sufficiently ~or his need and for hauling and
stringing pipe and other material provided that ~the width cleared
and graded shall not exceed the right-of-way width as furnished
by the Company.
Right-of-way limits shall be staked by Contractor every 200 feet.
Contractor shall be responsible for any damages outside of
right-of-way limits. He shall perform all necessary grading at
road, river, stream, and gully crossings and at other locations
where needed to permit the passage of equipment, cars, and trucks
owned by Contractor or Company. Contractor shall preserve all
surveyor's center line stakes during clearing and right-of-way
operations. Contractor shall be liable for any expense due to
his failure to maintain these stakes, stumps of trees removed
must not project over a maximum of four (4) inches above the top
of the ground or lower if required by the landowner, and ditch
line must be cleared so as to not interfere with satisfactory
ditching and backfilling operation. All tree stumps uprooted,
all brush cut and all tree trimmings must be removed from
right-of-way and disposed of to the satisfaction of Company
Representative and in accordance with any special right-of-way
provisions.
Grading and clearing of the right-of-way shall be performed in
such a manner as will minimize interference with existing natural
drainage. Where terracing or diversion dams are cut they will be
left open for a minimum time and will be completely restored to
their original state. All grading will be finished to maintain
the original drainage of water flow conditions as nearly as
practicable and will conform to the requirements of authorities
having jurisdiction. Where necessary, substantial temporary
PaGe 3
bridges shall be constructed 'at Contractcr's own expense.
Grading of the right-of-wa-y shall be done in a manner that will
eliminate any-unnecessary bends or any excessive degree of bends.
Should any blasting be required in order to properly grade the
right-of-way or for removal of tree stu~.ps, the same precautions
and requirements with reference to blasting shall apply asset
forth in Section 5 of these Specifications.
At all points where the pipeline crosses levees Contractor shall
comply with the rules and regulations of the authority granting
the permit.
Prior to construction Contractor will be notified of any
additional special requirements or restrictions of right-of-way
not listed in Section 2.
SECTION 4 - RECEIVING, UNLOADING, HAULING A~D STRINGING ALL
MATERIAL
Exhibit "E" designates points at which the Company will deliver
pipe, casing and heavy materials such as valves and fittings
furnished by Company. Contractor shall furnish all necessary
labor, equipment, and supplies to promptly receive, unload, haul,
stack, and string on right-of-way all material required for
construction. Contractor will avoid denting or damaging pipe
ends by unnecessary contact with equipment. Care shall be
exercised to prevent any damage to pipe from being bumped by
another joint of pipe or any other hard object. Broad-lift hooks
fitted to the curvature of the pipe or slings shall be used for
lifting pipe. Care shall be taken that the pipe is not dropped,
set down hard on skids, or bumped against hard objects. Extra
care shall be given coated pipe.
Ail hardwood stakes, wire strands, high tension bands, shims,
Aubber tire strips, bearing pieces, or any other debris must be
completely removed from car and disposed of in a manner
~jsatisfactory to Company Representative.
All pipe must be stored and separated by size, wall thickness,
grade and manufacturer.
All permits necessary for the transportation of pipe shall be
secured by the Contractor.
Coated pipe shall be placed on earth berms or skids padded with .
sand bags or other padding which will prevent damage to the pipe
and coating.
The unloading, hauling and stringing of pipe and other materials
on right-of-way shall be performed in such manner as to prevent
damage to material, and if material does sustain damage
Contractor shall be responsible for repair, and/or replacement
cost. ~t shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to see
Page 4
that the pipe is strung in .accordance with final alignment sheets
setting forth the proper placement of the pipe by size, wall
thickness and specifications. Any movement of pipe resulting
~from failure to comply with these requirements shall be done at
Contractor's expense.
Stringing of pipe on right-of-way shall be done in such a manner
as to cause least interference with the normal use of land
crossed, and gaps shall be left at intervals to permit use of
land, passage of farm stock and equipment across the
right-of-way. Contractor shall prevent entrance of dirt or
debris into pipe during stringing.
Contractor shall promptly repair all bridges, private roads,
fences, buildings or other property damaged by him in the
progress of the work.
SECTION 5 - DITCHING
Equipment and General Methods - Contractor shall_employ such
equipment and methods that may be required to excavate the ditch
to the staked line established by Company's Representative,
regardless of the type of soil or rock encountered and regardless
of the depth of excavation necessary, and shall furnish all
materials and supplies necessary for the completion and
maintenance of the ditch, including water control, shoring,
coffer dams and sheet piling.
Stakes - Contractor shall carefully preserve all stakes set by
Company Representative and shall be liable for any extra expense
due to his failure to maintain such stakes. Upon excavating the
ditch all stakes shall be reset at approximate right angles to
their center line location at the edge of the right-of-way.
Ditch Specifications - The ditch shall be in accordance with the
attached Attachment II, Section 22, and Drawing 237-PL-5003.
At over-bends and side-bends Contractor shall excavate the ditch
to allow proper clearance between the inside bend of the pipe and
the bottom or side of the ditch.
The ditch shall be graded to pass under all pipelines, roads,
trenches, ditches, canals, streams, or any other obstruction as
specified by Company's Representative. The ditch shall be graded
to allow a minimum of clearance of 12 inches between the pipe and
other foreign lines or other underground facilities. All tree
roots shall be cut flush with side wall and bottom of ditch to
prevent damage to coating.
Extreme care must be exercised in keeping open and useful all
drain ditches and water courses.
Page 5
Hand Ditch Requirements - in any location where in the opinion of
company, the use of ditching equipment may result in unnecessary
damage or injury to property crossed by the right-of-way, Company
may require the ditch to be excavated by hand.
Additional Depth of Ditch - When approaching crossings of roads,
highways, irrigation and drainage ditches, and at points where
the contour of the earth may require extra depth, Contractor
shall at no additional comDensation excavate to such additional
depth as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Company,
landowner,.and any public or private authority having
jurisdiction over same.
When the right-of-way easement, landowner or public or private
authority specifies that the pipeline shall have more than the
normal amount of cover at points other than those mentioned in
the preceding paragraph, Contractor shall excavate to the
specified depth. Compensation for this additional depth shall be
at the rates specified in the Price Schedule, Exhibit "B".
Bends - The Company desires to reduce to a minimum the required
number of bends to lay the pipe to conform with the contour of
the ground and maintain a normal covering. This can be
accomplished by cutting the ditch slightly deeper at the crest of
ridges and by gradually cutting the ditch deeper in approaches to
road crossings and small water courses. It is the Company's
intention that Contractor shall eliminate unnecessary bending by
operating the ditching machine at various depths rather than by
finish grading the ditch by hand, wherever practical. Pipe bends
shall be as specified in Section 8 of these Specifications.
Rock Excavation - Solid rock materials, which in the opinion of
the Company Representative, can only be broken up by means of
drilling and/or blasting before excavation can be accomplished is
rock excavation. Rock excavation shall, be performed by
Contractor to meet minimum ditch specifications set out in
Attachment II, Section 22, or as shown on Drawing 237-PL-5004.
Rock or rock mixed with earthen material which can be loosened by
rooting, plowing or ripping before excavation can be accomplished
shall be classified as loose rock excavation. No extra
compensation will be allowed for either type of rock excavation.
Blasting - Before any blasting is done, Contractor shall obtain
any necessary permits, and occupants of nearby buildings, stores
or places of business must be notified. Company Representative
must be notified when Contractor expects to start blasting and be
present while it is being done. The Contractor shall blanket all
shots sufficiently to keep any rock from being blasted off the
right-of-way and so there will be no damage or injury from
flying stone. If, during blasting operations, loosened rock is
scattered over the right-of-way or. adjacent property, Contractor
shall clean up and haul from the premises or bury such rock to
Page 6
the satisfaction of Company's Representative.
The Contractor shall use extra precautions in blasting near drain
lines, telephone, telegraph, or electrical conduits, water lines,
water wells, springs, and pipelines. Contractor is liable for
damage resulting from blasting operations.
Finished Ditch - The finished ditch shall be free or rocks, hard
clods, stumps, roots or other debris. Contractor shall furnish
and place loose soil or sand padding where determined necessary
by Company.
SECTION 6 - WELDING
Pipe - This Specification shall apply to the field welding of
pipe, listed in Exhibit E, manufactured in conformance to
American Petroleum Institute Standard 5LX Grade X-42 and 5LX
'Grade X-52, and it shall also apply to field welding of pipe not
manufactured in conformance to those Specifications.
Methods - Welds shall be made in accordance with this Welding
Procedure. All requirements affecting the quality of the
completed welds shall apply equally to roll welding and position
welding. All welding performed under this procedure shall meet
the requirements of API Standard 1104 (Latest Edition) "Standard
for Welding Pipe Lines and Related Facilities".
Pipe Defects If laminations or split ends are discovered they
shall be cut out. Other defects may be cut out or repaired as
directed by Company Representative. This is an extra work item.
Welding Equipment an~ Supplies - Contractor shall furnish all
welding equipment and supplies. All electrodes and equipment
shall be subject to the approval of Company Representative and
small be kept in good operating condition. Any equipment or
supplies not meeting the approval of Company Representative or
~ot capable of producing satisfactory welds shall be removed from
the job. Contractor shall protect welding electrodes from
moisture and deterioration.
spacing - The space between abutting pipe ends shall be such as
to insure complete penetration without burn-through. For pipe
'ends having mill bevels, the spacing shall be approximately 1/16
inch. The spacing should be decreased proportionally for pipe
ends having smaller width land.
Alignment - (1) Offset. The alignment of the abutting pipe ends
shall be made to minimize the offset between internal pipe
surfaces. The offset shall not exceed 1/16 inch except where
back welding will allow a transition with a slope of not less
than 1:4 nor more than 1:2. Hammering of pipe to obtain a proper
line-up shall be held to a minimum.
Page 7
(2) lnternal Line-Up Clamp. An internal line-up
clamp shall be used, whenever practical, for all sizes of pipe
10-3/4 inch O.D. and larger.
(3) External Line-Up Clamp. An external line-up
clamp shall be used when it is impractical or impossible to use
an internal line-up clamp. Root bead segments used in connection
with external clamps shall be uniformly spaced around the
circumference of the pipe and shall have an accumulative length
of not less than 50 percent of the pipe circumference before the
clamp is removed.
Welding Procedure Ail position welds shall be made with the
pipe resting on skids or earth berms placed over or at the side
of the ditch in a manner to prevent movement of the pipe after
the root bead has been deposited and the pipe has been lowered
into position. All beads shall be made using the specified type
and size electrode. No two beads shall be started at the same
location. The number of beads required shall be governed by the
wall thickness of the pipe. Each bead shall be cleaned to the
satisfaction of the Company Representative before any succeeding
bead is applied.
(1) Root Bead. The entire root bead shall be made with the pipe
in a stationary position. It is mandatory that at least two
welders be used, operating simultaneously and in opposite
quarters, when welding root beads on pipe 10-3/4 inch O.D. and
above.
(2) Filler and Finish Beads. After the root bead has been
completed, it is permissible and may be made mandatory by the
Company Representative to add a second bead immediately, after
which the specified number of beads may be made by finish
welders~ each succeeding bead having a thickness of approximately
~8 inch. The number of beads shall be such that the completed
1d will have a reinforcement of not less than 1/32 inch and not
~more than 1/16 inch above the pipe surface. The width of the
'cover bead shall be approximately 1/8 inch greater than the width
of the original groove. Weld metal shall be thoroughly fused to
previously deposited metal and to the parent metal of the pipe.
The completed weld shall be thoroughly brushed and cleaned.
Welding During Inclement Weather - No welding shall be performed
when weather conditions impair the quality of the weld.
Preparation of Pipe Ends - All pipe and bevels shall be cleaned
by a method approved by the Company Representative. Ail bevels
not made by pipe mills shall be made by an approved type beveling
machine in accordance with Welding Procedure, Page 13.
Page 8
Welds - The welding machine shall be adjusted so as to maintain
the proper current voltage output for the size and type of
electrode used. The welds shall be capable of developing 100
percent of the specified tensile strength of the pipe. Additional
beads of portions thereof shall be added to reinforce the weld,
when this procedure is required by the Company Representative.
~11 slag and scale shall be removed from each bead and
immediately after completion.
Repair or Removal of Defects - (1) Company Authorization of
Repairs. The Company Representative may authorize repairs of
defects in the root and filler beads, but any weld that shows
evidence of repair work having been done without such .
authorization shall be rejected.
Repairs may be made to pin holes and undercuts in the final bead
without authorization, but must meet with the approval of the
Company Representative.
(2) Removal and Repair of Defects. Before repairs are made,
injurious defects shall be entirely removed by chipping,
grinding, or flame gouging to sound metal. Ail slag and scale
shall be removed by wire brushing. Preheating of such an area
may be required by the Company Representative.
Compliance with DOT Regulations Nothing in this Section 6 is to
be interpreted to lessen the requirements of Department of
Transportation, Title 49, Part 195, Transportation of Liquids by
Pipeline. Regulations in Sub-Part D - Construction shall be
complied with as the minimum requirement of this Exhibit "C".
The specifications i~ Exhibit "C" shall prevail, however, when
stated requirements are more stringent than DOT requirements.
Test Welders - The Company Representative shall require each
welder employed by the Contractor to pass the Company's standard
welding test as outlined below. Each welder will be timed on his
~ltest weld and will not be permitted to make welds on the line in
substantially less time than he is required in making his
qualifying test weld. At his option the Company Representative
may examine the qualification weld radio-graphically.
(1) Sampling of Test Welds - From the completed test weld the
number of coupons cut will depend upon the size of the pipe and
requirements of the Company Representative. Test coupons shall
be cut from the completed weld as follows:

coupons shall be taken from or adjacent to the top, sides, and
bottom of the weld, and shall be spaced approximately equidistant
around the pipe.
(2) Tensile Tests
~ (a) Preparation. Tensile test specimens sh~ll be
approximately one inch wide; the weld reinforcements, both at the
~ace and at the root of the weld, shall not be removed. Coupon
may be flame cut and no additional machining or preparation will
be necessary, provided the sides are parallel and free from
notches or unevenness which may adversely affect the test
results. Coupon shall be allowed to air cool to ambient
temperature before testing. Contractor shall furnish coupon
cutter.
(b) Results. If two or more of the coupons tested break in
the weld or at the junction of the weld and the parent metal, and
also fail to develop the minimum specified tensile strength of
the parent metal, the welder shall be disqualified.
Page 10
(3) Nick-Break Tests
(a) Preparation. Nick-break test coupons shall be flame
cut, and no other preparation will be necessary. The coupons
shall be hacksaw notched from both edges of the coupons at the
center of the weld to cause failure in the weld metal, and shall
be broken by: a) pulling in.a suitable testing machine; b)
supporting the ends and striking the center of the coupon with a
heavy hammer; or c) by supporting one end of the coupon in a vise
and striking the other end with sharp hammer blows. The exposed
area of the fracture shall have a minimum width of one inch.
(b) Results.' The nick-break test shall show complete
penetration and fusion throughout the entire thickness of the
weld coupon. If in the opinion of the Company Representative,
lack of penetration occurring in one of the test coupons is not
representative of the weld, the coupon may be replaced by another
coupon cut adjacent to the coupon that was rejected. The exposed
surface shall show no more than 6 gas pockets per square inch
with the greatest dimension not to exceed 1/16 inch. Slag
inclusions shall not be greater than 1/32 inch in depth and 1/8
inch in width, and shall be separated by at least 1/2 inch of
sound weld metal. The welder shall be disqualified if any one
coupon shows defects exceeding these limitations.
(4) Bend Tests
(a) Preparation. The coupons shall be approximately one
inch wide and shall be flame cut. Both the cover and root bead
reinforcement shall be removed flush with the base pipe metal.
Final removal of exc~s metal shall leave the surface free Of
deep scratches and any remaining scratches shall be transverse to
the weld. Sharp edges shall be reduced to a smooth radius.
One-half the number of coupons shall be subjected to face-bend
tests, and the other half of the number of coupons shall be
subjected to root-bend tests. Coupons shall be air cooled to
~ambient temperature before testing.
(b) Method. All bend-test coupons shall be tested in a
guided test bend jig. Each coupon shall be placed on the female
member of the jig with the weld at mid-span. Face bend coupon
shall be placed with the face of the weld directed toward'the
gap; root bend coupons shall be placed with the root of the weld
directed toward the gap. The male member of the jig shall be
forced into the gap until the curvature of the coupon is
approximately 180 degrees.
Page 11
(c) Results. The bend test shall be considered acceptable
if: No crack or other defect exceeding 1/8 inch in any direction
is'present in the weld metal or between the weld and the pipe
material after bending (cracks which originate along the edges of
the specimen during testing and that are less than 1/4 inch
measured~in any direction shall not be considered), or
~he coupon cracks or fractures during bending and the exposed
surface shows: a) complete penetration and fusion throughout the
entire thickness of the weld coupon; b) no more than 6 gas~
pockets per square inch with the greatest dimensions not to
exceed 1/t6 inch; and c) no slag inclusions greater than 1/32
inch in depth or 1/8 inch in width and separated by at least.I/2
inch of sound metal. (If necessary, the specimen shall be broken
apart to permit examination of the fracture.)
Welds in high strength pipe, API Std., 5LX, which may not bend
the full 180 degrees shall be qualified under the clause
immediately above.
Should one of the welder's bend test coupons fail to meet these
requirements and, in the opinion of the Company Representative,
lack of penetration occurring is not representative of the weld,
the test coupon may be replaced by an alternative coupon cut
adjacent to the one that failed. The welder shall be
disqualified if the alternative coupon also shows defects
exceeding the specified limits.
(5) Qualification. The welder may be recognized as fully
qualified only if the test weld coupons are acceptable as to
tensile strength and soundness. The weld must be free of cracks,
lack of penetration,'burn-through, and other obvious defects, and
it must present a neat workmanship appearance. Undercutting
adjacent to the final bead on the outside of the pipe shall not
exceed 1/32 inch in depth.
~(6) Retest. If, in the mutual opinion of the Company
Representative and Contractor Representatives, failure of a
welder to pass the test was because of unavoidable conditions or
conditions beyond his control, such a welder may be given a
second opportunity to qualify. No further retest shall be
permitted.
Contractor shall furnish all equipment and supplies required for
this test, except the Company shall furnish Contractor joints of
pipe for the purpose of making test pipe nipples. After Company
Representative has determined that the welder meets Company's
requirements, the Contractor shall issue an identifying symbol to
the welder and each weld made by that welder shall be so
identified. Company Representative will record the symbol and
the name of the welder. If the welder should leave the job, his
identifying symbol shall be voided and not duplicated.
Page 12
Test Welds - Company shall reserve the privilege of cutting any
weld from the pipeline and {hen have weld tested in the manner
stat'ed above. 'If the weld is tested and conforms to all Company
requirements, the Company will'reimburse the Contractor the cost
of replacing the weld, except that the Company shall be permitted
to cut one (1) test weld made by each welder from the line at no
c~st to the Company. If the %est weld shall fail in any of the
standard Company tests, the welder may not be permitted to
continue welding on the pipeline. If two or more welders
participated in making the weld which failed, the Contractor and
Company Representative shall determine which welder or welders
were responsible for the defective work.
All welds ~hich fail shall be replaced at no expense to the
Company. Company Representatives shall whenever possible cut
test welds from the pipeline in such a manner or at such a time
so as to result in a minimum replacement cost. If it is not
possible to pull the pipe back into position after a weld has
been removed, a nipple with a minimum length of seventy-two (72)
inches shall be set in and two (2) welds shall be required to
close the line. Company Representative reserves t~e right to cut
any of these replacement welds from the pipe if there is evidence
of defective workmanship.
Reimbursement for Extra Welds - A record of results of each weld
test shall be made jointly b~ the Company Representative and the
Contractor's Representative. When a weld that has met Company's
specifications has been cut out, except for the one (1) described
weld per welder, the Contractor shall be reimbursed for the weld
in accordance with the price quoted in Exhibit "B". The record
made jointly by the Cgmpany Representative and Contractor shall
indicate the location of the'weld by stake number, the welder's
symbol, and the results of the test. This record shall be signed
be
· s
by Representative of both the Company and Contractor and must
made on the day the test is performed. No reimbursement will be
made for any weld not covered by a Contract Work Order, EPL-34-A.
Preheating and Post-Heating - The Company Representative shall
specify what preheating and post-heating practice shall be used
on the pipe ends when chemical properties or atmospheric
temperatures affect the weld-ability of the pipe.
Radiography (Weld Quality Control) - Radiograph will be utilized
for field weld quality control du~ing construction of the
pipeline. The radiographic procedure, interpretation of films
and the limitations of defects shall comply with API-1104
(Standard for Field Welding of Pipelines). The Contractor shall
furnish radiographic services.
100% of the girth welds will be tested.

c%herwise no%ed. Ail bending shall be done by a cc!d stretch
be~d~ng me%hod, but due care shall be exercised tc avoid buckling
of pipe or weakening welds. Any bend that is buckled, or does
not fit the ditch to the satisfaction of %he Company
Kepresentative, shall be cut out and replaced at Contractor's
expense, and pipe thus removed will be charged to Contractor as
~amaged material. Contractor shall pay Company the delivered
cost of pipe which is damaged beyond use in the bending
operations. In general, the curvature of all bends shall be
distributed throughout as great a length of pipe as possible. If
the pipe has a longitudinal seam, the seam shall be in a plane
perpendicular to the radius of the bend.
The equipment used to make bends shall be approved by the
Company Representative.
Laying - Each joint of pipe shall be swabbed with an internal
line up clamp or with a leather or canvas belt disc of the proper
diameter, and satisfactory to the Company's Representative, to
remove dirt, mill scale, and other foreign material before
placing in alignment for welding.
Longitudinal seams shall be on the upper surface of the line and
within 30 degrees from the top center. Successive joints shall
be rotated to right or left to avoid aligning the seams in
adjoining joints.
The open end of the line shall be securely closed at the end of
the day's work to prevent the entrance of water, small animals, '
trash, or any other obstr.uctions and shall not be opened until
work is resumed. Where the line is left apart at intervals'for
any reason both ends shall likewise be securely closed.
Contractor shall pick up, haul and insert in the line short
pieces of pipe, 8 feet and over in length, which have been cut
off when tying sections of the line together, or for any other.
~ reason. These short pieces of pipe shall not be allowed to
accumulate, but shall be moved ahead and welded in the line
intermittently with pipe of the same wall thickness. Contractor
shall cooperate with Company Representative in trying to control
the length of these pieces whenever practical.
Lowering-In - The pipe shall be lowered into the ditch in such a
manner as to obtain the maximum a3nount of pipe in the ditch. The
Contractor may employ any acceptable means of lowering, provided
that such means secures the necessary amount of pipe uniformly
distributed in the bottom of the ditch and does not injure the
pipe or protective coatings where applied.
Page 19
Fipe shall be lowered into the ditch before the atmospheric
temperature exceeds 80 degrees F. Any excess pipe shall be
removed by the Contractor by cutting out the excess pipe as
directed by Company's ~epresentative and rewelding the resulting
two ends of the line together.
K non-abrasive canvas padded sling shall be used in lowering all
coated pipe sections without injury to the protective coating.
Any coating injured in handling or lowering the pipe shall be
repaired by the Contractor and left in a condition equal to that
of the undamaged coating. Protection shields of plywood (or
equivalent material) shall be placed along side walls of trench
containing rock or other hard objects. These shields are to be
taken out when pipe is not subject to further movement.
All sag bends and side-bends shall fit the trench neatly and the
inside of all side-bends or over-bends shall clear the side or
the bottom of the ditch by a minimum of 4 inches.
No line shall be lowered into the ditch until Company's
Representative has been notified and his approval has been given
and the line has been subjected to electrical holiday test.
Submerging Pipe - At locations along the pipeline route where
water in the ditch prevents lowering the pipe, Contractor shall
pump the water from the ditch to permit lowering. In lieu of
this method, Contractor may, with Company's approval, submerge
the pipe by filling it with inhibited filtered fresh water. If
water is utilized for submerging the pipe, it shall not be
removed until after the ditch has been backfilled.
SECTION 9 - BACKFILLING AND CLEAN-UP
Approval of Company's Representative - No ditch shall be
1Fackfilled unless the pipe has a prvper depth and fit. Approval
of Company's Representative shall be obtained before backfilling
~any section of ditch.
Backfillin9 - Backfilling shall be done in such a manner as to
insure filling the space below and up the sides of the pipe with
soil. Contractor shall employ any acceptable method approved by
the Company'which will insure compaction of the backfill and at
the same time not deflect the pipe from its normal roundness.
Packing of backfill shall not be done through rocky land where
the coating might be damaged.

from the backfill ditch and into natural drainage courses.
Crossings - In the banks of water courses, Contractor shall
restore the banks and if required, shall reinforce the backfill
with earth filled bags, cement and sand filled bags, iock
rip-rap, or concrete headwalls.
Distance Between Rough Backfill and Lowered-In Pipe - Contractor
shall keep the rough backfill as close as possible to the
lowering in operation and at no time shall the distance exceed
one quarter (1/4) mile, unless approved by the Company
Representative.
Clean-Up of Right-of-Wa~ As soon as backfill'is completed;
Contractor shall immediately clean up the right-of-way, removing
to places designated by Company Representative all surplus
defective materials, and disposing of all refuse such as brush,
