COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRICT
CURED IN PLACE PIPE FOR PRESSURE PIPE
PART 1 GENERAL
OVERVIEW
Contractor will be responsible for rehabilitating to 100% structural capability an existing 1115 foot
8' DIP force main subject to operating at 800 gpm at 60 feet TDH.
District has a video of the pipe interior dated 3/6/01 which contractor has signified by signing page
P 2 of the Proposal that Contractor has viewed the tape and confirmed his proposed pipeline
rehabilitation method can be properly installed in this project and will provide the required
structural capability and operating parameters needed to reinstate the line.
1.01 DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
It is the intent of this section to identify procedures for the reconstruction of force main sanitary
sewers by furnishing and installing of a tailored thermoset impregnated flexible fiberglass tube
material. The pulled-in place or inverted installation of a resin-impregnated, flexible fiberglass
fabric tube once installed shall be inflated with compressed air Once inflated curing is achieved
by circulating steam throughout the tube, until the resins are cured Once cured the finished pipe
will be continuous and form to the original pipe, reconstructing the pipe's strength, and increasing
flow carrying capacity and resistance to corrosive products such as hydrogen sulfide gases.
1.02 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Bidders shall submit the following information at time of bid. Failure to do so will result in rejection
of the bid as non-responsive.
General description procedures specific to this project including access opening locations,
disconnection of existing pipe and re-connection specification on the temperature data logger and
a sample videotape demonstrating the contractors video capabilities (to be submitted at time of
Bid Submittal),

PART 2 PRODUCTS
2.01 MATERIALS
The CIPP material shall meet the requirements of the ASTM D5813 Section 4 1.3 These
calculations shall be furnished and stamped by a licensed engineer prior to the contractors
Notice to Proceed is given.
The finished pipe shall be fabricated from materials, which when cured will be resistant to
gases normally found in the sewer atmosphere and shall be resistant to attack by soaps
and detergents; animal vegetable or mineral oils; fats, greases and waxes; sewer bacteria
and fungi.
The uncured tube shall be fabricated to a size that when installed will form to the internal
circumference and length of the original pipe. Allowance shall be made for circumferential
stretching during inflation and curing.
The minimum length shall be that deemed necessary by the Installer to effectively span the
distance from the inlet to the outlet of the respective access points, unless otherwise
specified The Installer shall verify the pipe diameters and length in the field before ordering
materials.
The fully cured in-place pipe shall conform to the minimum physical strengths as follows:
Minimum
Cured Strength Standard Strengths
Flexural Strength ASTM D790 6,500 psi
Flexural Modulus ASTM D790 650 000 psi
Tensile Strength ASTM D638 5,500 psi
PART 3 EXECUTION
3 01 CIPP installation shall be in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.
3.02 Safety. The Installer shall comply with OSHA and the CIPP manufacturer's safety
requirements, especially those safety requirements pertaining to working with scaffolding
and entering confined spaces.
3 03 Installer shall clear and clean the line to be rehabilitated of obstructions, debris, protrusions,
etc. that will prevent the insertion and curing of the pipe to achieve the strengths specified
-19-
All solids removed shall be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in
accordance with State Department of Health Regulations. Installer shall submit to the
Engineer an outline of his methods, equipment and supplies proposed for cleaning the pipe
All costs associated with the cleaning and clearing operations shall be borne by the Installer
3 04 Post-Cleaning, Pre-Installation Inspection.
The cleaned pipeline to be rehabilitated shall be inspected in accordance with NASSCO
SEWER LINE CLEANING and SEWER MAIN INSPECTION'guidelines.
Upon completion of the cleaning work, and prior to the installation of the CIPP the Bidder
shall conduct a closed circuit television inspection, utilization and video equipment with pan
and tilt capabilities of the newly cleaned pipe in the presence of the Engineer and provide
two copies of the VHS videotapes to the District.
3 05 Flows through the existing sewer cannot be interrupted for significant lengths of time. By-
passing flows around the section of pipe to be lined is required
3 06 Excavation for access to the existing pipe and for insertion of the uncured pipe shall not be
allowed other than as shown on the plans.
3.07 Installation of CIPP:
Liner Impregnation. The liner shall be impregnated in a controlled environment and
shipped to the Contractor for installation. A resin and catalyst system compatible with the
requirement of this process shall be used A Certification of Quantities document shall
accompany the wetout bag to the job site. The COQ will document the amount of resins
needed and used for each individual reach of pipe to be rehabilitated
Installation The wet out tube shall be inserted through an access opening either by
means of an inversion or pulling by means of a winch cable Once inserted, air and steam
manifolds are attached at both ends of the liner Compressed air is introduced sufficiently
to fully extend and hold it tight against the pipe wall, producing dimples at side connections.
The use of a lubricant or slip-foil is recommended to reduce friction.
Curing: After inflating is completed, suitable steam-generating equipment is required to
distribute steam throughout the pipe. The equipment should be capable of delivering steam
throughout the section to uniformly raise the temperature within the pipe above the
temperature required to effect a cure of the resin. The temperature in the line during the
cure period should be as recommended by the resin manufacturer or seller
The steam-generating equipment should be fitted with a suitable monitor to measure the
temperature of the outgoing steam. A data logger which produces a strip chart, shall be
used to monitor temperatures and verify curing. A copy of the curing records shall be
provided to the owner upon completion of the project.
-20--
Initial cure will occur during temperature heat-up and is completed when exposed portions
of the new pipe appear to be hard and sound and the temperature sensor indicates that the
temperature is of a magnitude to realize an exotherm or curing of the resins. The curing of
the CIPP must take into account the existing pipe material, the resin system, and ground
conditions (temperature, moisture level, and thermal conductivity of soil).
Cool-Down After curing has been completed the compressed air is pushed through from
the upstream manifold. After the newly formed pipe is sufficiently cooled (ambient
temperature), a television inspection of the pipe shall be performed
Finish The finished CIPP shall be continuous over the entire length and be as free as
commercially practicable from visual defects such as foreign inclusions, dry spots, pinholes
and delamination. It shall also meet the leakage requirements or pressure test specified
below
During the warranty period any defects which will affect the integrity or strength of the CIPP
shall be repaired at the Contractor's expense, to the satisfaction of the Engineer
3 08 Where special fittings are required, submit shop drawings and details for approval prior to
fabrication.
3.09 Post-Installation Inspection.
Upon completion of the installation of the CIPP and prior to acceptance the Bidder shall
conduct a closed circuit television inspection utilizing color video equipment with pan and
tilt capabilities, of the newly lined pipe in the presence of the Engineer and provide two
copies of the VHS videotapes to the District. The finished CIPP shall be inspected in
accordance NASSCO `SEWER LINE TELEVISION INSPECTION, MAIN SEWERS' guidelines
The Bidder shall also provide two copies of a written report of the installation procedures
and inspection results including color photographs of typical reaches of the cleaned and
rehabilitated pipeline as well as any abnormalities found. Approval of the report by the
Engineer shall be a prerequisite of project acceptance.
PART 4 INSTALLATION AND PAYMENT
