METHOD OF STATEMENT

FOR
MECHANICAL WORKS FOR
SANITARY DRAINAGE

METHOD OF STATEMENT
Scope: This method of statement applies to mechanical works for
sanitary drainage of buildings.

Purpose: The basis of construction /installation for effective and


qualified results

Significant materials needed:


a. Approved shop drawing (At site)
b. PVC schedule 40 pipes and fittings (Trans.# )
c. PVC Joining Compounds and cleaner
d. Plumbing tools
e. Level equipment

Abbreviations:
ASTM American Society for Testing Materials
UPC Uniform Plumbing Code
IAPINO International Association of Plumbing and
Mechanical Officials
PVC Poly Vinyl Chloride
Execution:
a. Open the approved shop drawing and know the location
of pipes/ fittings.
b. After determination of location based on measured
distances, make markings/indications for excavations
using pointed metal bars and paint spray or white sand,
use straight Edge Wood, or Cloth Thread nylon rope or
simply 2mm plastic rope to make line to be sure to
excavate in straight run.
c. Deep of execution should be enough to lay the pipe base
on 1% slope invert level. The 10cm thick of fine sand
around the pipe plus 5 cm clearance. Excavation should
start from main sewer line and then inside the villa just to
be sure that the drainage waste shall go directly to main
sewer line.
d. Install / layout the popes and fittings.

d1. Start pipe layout from deepest invert level that is


located outside villa fence and below the grade beam by
using level equipment it locates the right laid position
and height of pipe.

d2. After getting the level, fixed the pipe not to move
up and down on both sides.

D3 Finished fixing all horizontal pipes/fittings w/


mixing application of D2.
D4 Install vertical pipes (i.e. soil stack, fixtures and
cleanouts). Cover the vertical pipes with end cap cover.

D5 Recheck the pipe installed before putting fine sand

D5.1 Check for straight look.


D5.2 Check presence of solvent cement in each joint
D5.3 Check for pipe support.
D5.4 Check for pipe invert level based on shop drawing.
D5.5 Check for unnecessary materials w/in the layout
portion, remove and bring to safe location.
D6 Carefully put fine sand side by side up ¾ the
diameter of the pipe. Compact the sand slowly as
possible so as to project pipe from movement and hitting
from solid material while compaction is on going.

D7 Make final check before leak testing.

D7.1 Check pipes for any cracks.


D7.2 Check pipes from undesired materials and should
be removed at once.
D7.3 Check the appearance of pipes / fittings that means
not fully covered by fine sand
D7.4 checks all end pipes are capped and the inside of
pipe should be free from unnecessary materials. Remove
if it has.

e. Leak testing of sanitary drain pipes


e1. Check all openings if tightly closed except the
highest point.
e2. Fill the pipes with water up to the point of
overflow.
