Filling of Trenches


  1. See that refilling of trenches is not done, until the laying  and jointing of pipe line have been passed by the Engineer-in-Charge  and the necessary  tests have been  carried out. 
  2. Spoil obtained from  excavation of the trenches shall be entirely  re-used except  vegetable or black cotton soil which  is prohibited  for refilling. The finest spoil is to be selected and carefully filled in  around  the pipes, etc, before the man filling is done. 
  3. See that  the filling of earth/moorum is  carried  out properly in layers not exceeding 20 cm thick, well watered  and rammed. 

Pits

  1. See that masonry pits of proper  size with CI manhole  covers are built as specified. 
  2. Check that CI boxes for valves/meters are of approved  type, predesignate, confirming to IS specifications. 
  3. Ensure that CI frames and covers for manholes are of correct type, pattern aid weight. 
  4. See that  manhole covers, frames are given bituminous paint  all-over and greased at the seat.
