UPVC Drainage System: Method Statement FOR

This document provides a method statement for installing and testing a UPVC drainage system. It will store pipes properly by stacking them on a flat surface out of direct sunlight. Pipes will be installed by cleaning joints, applying lubricant, and joining pipes with proper alignment. Finally, the system will undergo a water test to check for leaks by filling it with water and inspecting joints under pressure for 30 minutes.

1.0 Scope

1.1 This method statement details the method for installation and testing of
UPVC drainage piping.

2.0 Material

2.1 UPVC Pipes and fitting.

3.0 Method

3.1 Storage

3.1.1 When off-loading pipes shall be lowered to the ground either manually
or with mechanical aid like crane depending on the quantity of the pipe and
should not be dropped to the ground. Refer – Manufacturer’s instruction for
transport, handling and storage.

3.1.2 Pipes shall be stacked on a flat surface free from any sharp objects.

3.1.3 Pipes shall not be stored under direct sunlight to avoid ultra violet
degradation.

3.2 Installation

3.2.1 Pipes are brought to the work place manually from the store to the hoist
area and are shifted to the respective floors through the hoist.

3.2.2 Ensure that the mating areas of spigot and socket are thoroughly clean
and square.

3.2.3 Set the rubber ring into groove.

3.2.4 Assess the full socket depth by simple measurement and mark spigot
accordingly.

3.2.5 Apply lubricant to the spigot side and to the inside of the joint on
rubber.

3.2.6 Accurate axial alignment of the spigot and socket prior to joining is
important, hand feed spigot into rubber joint until resistance from the
inner sealing section is felt.

3.2.7 Before final erection, all pipes should be free of dust, scale rust or
other form of corrosion.

3.2.8 All pipes will be laid to a uniform slope as indicated.

3.2.9 Before laying, all pipes and fittings should be checked for defects and
jointing spaces cleaned properly.

3.2.10 Adjust pipes to line and level, ensure pipe bottoms rest uniformly.

3.2.11 To avoid possible damage or deformation for underground pipes,


compacted layer shall be without hard stones.

4. Testing

4.1 Water test is conducted to ensure and prove the tightness of the joints and
ensure there are no leaks in the piping system.

4.2 The water test can be applied to the system in its entirety or in sections. All
openings in the piping will be tightly closed, the system filled with water to the
point of overflow from the highest point. The plugs can be temporally opened
to make sure that all air has been vented and that water has reached all parts
of the system.

4. 3 No section of the pipe shall be tested to less than 1.5-meter head of water.

4. 4 The water shall be kept in the system or in the portion under test for at least
30 minutes before inspection starts. While the system is under pressure, a
careful inspection shall be made on all pipes and joints. If any leaks in joints or
evidence of defective pipe or fittings is revealed, the defective pipe / fitting
should be immediately replaced with new joints and materials.

4. 5 After the correction is made, the test pressure will be maintained for minimum
30 minutes.
