WATER AND SANITARY SEWER INSTALLATIONS
1. GENERAL - Longitudinal water and sanitary sewer pipelines shall
be placed on uniform alignment three (3) to ten (10) feet from the
right of way line. The minimum depth of cover shall be twenty-four
(24) inches for non-plastic lines and thirty (30) inches for plastic
lines. If a nonmetallic line is installed, a durable metal wire or
other device shall be concurrently installed for detection purposes.
Each line may be installed with enough vertical flexibility to prevent
excessive stresses, however, horizontal "snaking" of the line is
prohibited.
The utility agency shall place identification markers at the right of
way line in sufficient number fo~ longitudinal installations and at
each highway crossing.
All paved side streets crossed by a longitudinal line within TxDOT
right of way must be installed as outlined in item #2 below.
2. CROSSINGS - Highway crossings are to be installed at or near right
angles to highway and must be installed with an encasement pipe.
Encasement pipe is also to be installed under normal center medians
and is toextend from the top of backslope for cut sections and five
(5) feet beyond the toe of slope for fill sections, unless an
additional length is required as outlined in the "TRENCH EXCAVATION
AND PIT LOCATION" specification.
All crossings under existing pavement must be installed as outlined
in the "CONSTRUCTION OF HIGHWAY CROSSINGS BY BORE" Specification.
The depth of cover for crossings shall be twenty-four (24) inches for
non-plastic pipe and thirty (30) inches for plastic pipe under
ditches. The encasement pipe must be a minimum of eighteen (18)
inches or 1/2 the diameter of the pipe, whichever is greater, below
the bottom of the pavement structure.
The encasemerit shall consist of a steel pipe around and outside the
carrier pipe and support the load of the ground above the pipe, the
highway, and the superimposed loads thereon, including construction
equipment. The strength of the encasement pipe shall equal or exceed
the structural requirements for highway drainage culverts covered
under ASTM specifications.
3. ABOVE GROUND APPURTENANCES - Fire hydrants, air release valves,
and other similar appurtenances shall be located at or near the right
of way line. All fire hydrants will be equipped with breakaway bases
and should not be located in the sidewalk.
Pumps, wells, and other structures associated with lift stations and
pump stations will not be permitted within the limits of TxDOT right
of way.
4. MANHOLES - The outside diameter of ~he manhole chimney at ground
level shall not exceed thirty-six (36) inches. The inside diameter
of the manhole for lines up to twelve (12) inches' shall not exceed
four (4) feet. For any increase in line size greater than twelve (12)
inches the manhole may be increased a like amount. The manhole cover
shall be installed flush with the ground, meet MS-20 load
requirements, and weigh at least 175 pounds.
I
CONSTRUCTION OF HIGHWAY CROSSINGS BY BORING
1. GENERAL - WATER JETTING OR JACKING WILL NOT BE PERMITTED. All
paved streets which are maintained by TxDOT must be bored & encased
unless it is specifically stated on the permit that an exception for
qpen' cutting and/or no encasement is granted.
At no- time~ shall the boring ol~eration il~terf~re With the traveling
public. The safety of the traveling public and maintaining the
integrity of the roadway is the primary concern.
2. BORE PIT LOCATIONS - No excavation for bore pits will be allowed
tO'be any closer to the edge of the pavement (travel lane) than as
outlined in the "TRENCH EXCAVATIONS AND PIT LOCATION" specification.
If the required clear zone distance is closer than outlined in the
above mentioned specification, then appropriate traffic control
devices such as barricades, signs, barrel mounted guard fence and/or
concrete traffic barriers will be required as deemed necessary by the
TxDOT inspector.
No excavated material will be stored closer to the traveled way than
the bore pit. All pits and trenches shall be backfilled immediately
after the encasement and carrier pipes has been installed. Upon
completion of the backfill, all excess material will be removed from
the right of way.
3. METHOD OF INSTALLATION - Crossings are to be installed by the
AUGER or "DRY" BORE method and shall be accomplished by useof a laser
sighted bore machine or a bore machine requiring a pilot hole. The
pilot hole will serve as the centerline of the larger diameter hole
to be bored. The use of water or fluids in the boring operation will
only be allowed for lubricating the cutting head.
The boring operation shall be performed from the low or downstream
end. Lateral or vertical variation of the encasemerit pipe from the
proposed line and grade will be permitted only to the extent of one
(1) inch in ten (10) feet, provided that such variation shall be
regular and onl~ in one direction.
The encasement pipe shall be approximately the same diameter as the
bore hole. Overcutting in excess of one inch shall be remedied by
'pressure grouting the entire length of the installation with a mixture
consisting of two (2) sacks of cement'per cubic yard of sand.
4. OPTIONAL WET BORES - The utility or contractor may request
installation by the Slurry or "Wet" bore method. The approval to wet
bore is granted by the Area Engineer or his designated representative
on an individual permit basis. If the area office allows wet bores
in their designated area, approval wil.l be based on bore size and soil
conditions. Wet bores should be restricted to areas of rock or other
suitable'material which will prevent the sides of the bore hole from
"caving in". A geotechnical report may be required prior to approval.
In no instance will wet bores be allowed to exceed eighteen (18)
inches in diameter. _
The-amount of water used for creating the slurry will be such that
little or no runoff is encountered. If, in the opinion of the TxDOT
inspector, at any time during the boring operation inadequate
conditions are encountered for performing the wet bore, the process
will be stopped and the bore will be completed by Auger bore.
The slurry material removed from the bore may not be used in the
backfilling of the bore pit.
"~ BACKFILLING
1. GENERAL - As soon as practical, all p6rtions of the excavation
shall be backfilled. Trenches and pits shall be backfilled with the
material obtained from the excavation or from other sources. BaCkfill
material will be free from stones of such size as to interfere with
compaction; free from large lumps which will not break down readily
under compaction; and free from frozen lumps, wood or other extraneous
material. The TxDOT Inspector may =eject any material containing more
than twenty (20) percent by weight of material retained on a three (3)
inch sieve.
The portion o~ top soil removed from the original excavation shall be
replaced, aS nearly as feasible, in its original position.
2. DEPTH OF LIFTS - That portion of backfill below the top of pipe
shall be placed in uniform layers not to exceed eight (8) inches in
depth (loose measurement).
Backfill above the top of pipe shall be placed layers not to exceed
ten (10) inches in depth (loose measurement)- If the backfill is to
support a portion of roadway or embankment, then the material will be
placed in uniform layers not to exceed eight (8) inches in depth
(loose measurement).
3. PROCEDURE FOR COMPACTION - Each layer of backfill material, if
dry, shall be wetted uniformly to the moisture content required to
obtain a density comparable with the adjacent undisturbed soil and
shall be compacted to that density by means of mechanical ~ampers or
rammers. The use of rolling equipment of the type generally used in
compacting embankments will be permitted on portions which are
accessible to such equipment. Water letting or ponding will not
permitted.
Special care shall be taken to ensure thorough compaction of material
placed under the haunches of the pipe.
Cohesionless materials, such as sand, may be used for general
backfilling purposes. Compaction of cohesionlegs materials shall be
done with vibratory equipment.
4. RESTORATION OF RIGHT OF WAY - 'Prompt replacement of sod, removal
of debris, and any other restoration necessary to restore the right
of way to a condition equal to that which existed prior to the utility
installation will be required. In areas of erosion, the use of
stabilized backfill may be required. Should settlement or erosion
occur within Six(6) months of the utility installation, the utility
agency will be required to reshape, reseed, and/or resod the area-
TRENCH EXCAVATIONS AND PIT LOCATIONS "
1. GENERAL - No dirt from a trench or pit excavation shall be placed
on the roadway or shoulders. All equipment and stockpiled dirt shall
meet the safety clear zone distances listed below or have adequate
barricades and warning devices to protect the traveling public.
Topsoil shall be kept separate from other excavation material, and be
replaced in accordance with 'SPECIFICATIONS FOR BACKFILL.'
All pits and trenches shall be kept free from standing water. If
trenchs and/or pits are left open for extended periods of time without
a continuous progression of work, the utility will be required to
backfill the trench and/or pits.
In all excavations where sloughing is likely to occur, shoring will
be utilized to prevent damage to the highway structure(s) ..... The
utility agency or contractor shall be responsible for maintaining
trench excavation protection as required by provisions of Pert 1926,
Subpart P - Excavations, Trenching and Shoring of OSHA Standards.
2. TRENCHING - Longitudinal installations must be placed as near a
uniform alignment to the right of way line as possible. This
operation may be done by trenching machine or backhoe. If a uniform
alignment cannot be maintained by use of a trenching machine, a
backhoe will be required to obtain a more uniform alignment.
3. SAFETY C=,Faa ZONE DISTANCES - Minimum clear zone distances required
for trench excavations and bore pit locations are as follows.
For UNCURBED Highways.
A. Thirty (30) ft from the edge of pavement (Traveled lane) of
high-speed (More than 40 mph), high volume (More than 750
vehicles per day)' highways.
B. Sixteen (16) ft, from the edge of pavement of high-speed, low
volume (Less than 750 vehicles per day) highways.
C. Sixteen (16) ft, from ramps.
