1. Pipe Bedding: Sand: On-site borrow material, clay to silty fine sands that have been
sampled, tested and approved by the Engineer and which complies with the requirements
specified below under "Civil Works Fuel Hydrants". Place the bedding material such
that the lower quarter of the pipe circumference is in continuous contact with backfill.
Place the material carefully and uniformly up each side of the pipe in 0.15 m layers in a
manner that assures compaction along the sides and haunches. Compact the bedding
material uniformly under and around the pipe.
2. Backfill: Backfill material, which is tested and complies with the requirements specified
below under "Civil Works Fuel Hydrants". Place backfill immediately after the pipe
has been bedded. When required by Section 40980, "Jet A1 Fueling System - Inspection,
Cleaning, Flushing, and Testing", or by the Engineer, leave all joints exposed until all
required testing is performed and accepted. Place and compact trench backfill to
preclude a depression from ultimately forming at the surface along the trench.
D. Complete backfill from top of bedding to grade with backfill. Place backfill materials in
layers not more than 0.25 m in loose depth for material compacted by heavy compaction
equipment and not more than 0.10 m in loose depth for material compacted by hand-operated
equipment. Before compaction, moisten or aerate each layer as necessary to provide
optimum moisture content of the soil material. Compact each layer to the required density
for each area classification as defined below. Place backfill materials evenly adjacent to
piping, tanks, and structures to the required elevations. Do not place layer of loose material
until after compacted layer is tested and accepted by the Engineer.
E. Compaction Density Requirements: Compaction of materials and compaction testing shall be
in accordance with the requirements specified below under, "Civil Works". Results of the
testing shall be submitted to the Engineer for evaluation and approval.
F. Area Classification - Density: Compact soil materials for following area classifications to not
less than the specified in-place density applicable for the type of soil material:
1. Pipe Bedding - Sand: Compact top 150 mm of subgrade and each layer of backfill
material to minimum of 98 percent maximum dry density at 2 percent of optimum
moisture content.
2. Backfill (Balance of Pipe Trench Excavations):

40192 - Page 11 of 16

i.
Within Structure Lines or Under Pavements: Compact each layer of backfill

material to minimum of 98 percent maximum dry density at 2 percent of
optimum moisture content.

or wrapped as specified herein. Perform field inspections, apply wrapping and coating to
those external surfaces not coated in the shop (e.g., over field welds for pipe-to-pipe and
pipe-to-fitting welded joints), and provide touch-up of those shop coated piping and
fittings surfaces which may have been damaged during handling, shipment, or Project site
storage operations.

internally coated in the manufacturer's shop or in the mill of an approved internal epoxy
applicator with a two-coat high-solids amine-cured epoxy system in accordance with the
following requirements. The epoxy coating shall be shop applied to all Jet A-1 Fuel
piping and fittings in accordance with the epoxy coating system manufacturer procedures
and recommended practices. For Jet A-1 Fuel piping, the internal coating system
materials and application, inspection, cleaning, testing, acceptance criteria, and
preparation for shipment shall meet the requirements as specified herein.
B.
Surface Preparation:
1.
2.
3.
C.
The amine adduct cured epoxy pipe lining system shall be applied at the pipe/fitting
fabrication shop or other suitable shop location. Prior to blast cleaning, the pipes
shall be inspected and, when necessary, pre-cleaned to remove all grease, soil, dirt,
and salts which might adversely affect blast cleaning or contaminate the abrasive.
This work shall be completed in accordance with SSPC SP-1.
The contact surface of flanges and threaded areas of threaded fittings shall be
protected by attaching sized metal or wooden rings or by taping as appropriate prior
to blast cleaning.
Blast cleaning shall be carried out in a shop separate from the area that paint
(coating material) is to be applied. Surfaces to be coated shall be blast cleaned in
accordance with SSPC SP-10 with a profile of 1.0 to 3.0 mils, after preheating pipe
to remove all moisture. Blast cleaned surfaces shall be compared with SSPC
VIS-1.
4.
Burrs, slivers, and scabs which become visible after blasting the surface shall be
removed and the specified cleaning repeated for the affected area.
5.
Each pipe, including shop supplied pipe which has been externally coated for
underground service or painted for aboveground service, shall be given a unique
serial number marked on the outside after satisfactory shot/grit blasting and
inspection. For coated/painted pipe, this marking shall be applied on top of the
coating/paint. The marking materials shall not result in any degradation of the
piping coating/painted surfaces.
6.
Weld bevels, flange contact faces, and threads on fittings shall be suitably masked
from painting.
Application:
1.
As a minimum, no lining (coating) shall take place when the atmospheric

temperature is above 34 deg C or below 10 deg C or when the surface temperature
of the pipe is below the dewpoint, when the relative humidity is above 85 percent,
or when airborne dust may be deposited on the surface being (lined) coated (or as
otherwise directed by the epoxy coating manufacturer's instructions when more
stringent conditions are specified).
2.
Each batch of epoxy paint shall be mixed in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and the details of the mix recorded on appropriate documentation
forms.

3.
D.
The epoxy lining shall be applied within the required temperature range and time
constraints and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. As a minimum
the pipe lining (coating) must commence prior to visible rust or contamination
formation. If rust or contamination is observed, the pipe surface shall be re-blasted.
The mixed lining (coating) may be applied by spray unless otherwise specified by
the manufacturer. Note that rollers or brushes should not be used except for touchup of small localized areas where the lining has been compromised due to
mechanical damage.
Inspection and Testing:

1.
The paint shall be fully cured before the external coating application is started. The
finished epoxy paint film shall be tested for thickness, cure, and adhesion as
specified below.
2.

Two coats - 0.055mm DFT minimum each; total of 0.110mm DFT minimum.
The lining shall be glossy, and free from sags, runs, curtaining and any other
defects which may detract from the performance of the lining system.
A ketone Test or other suitable test for cure shall be conducted. The ketone test
shall consist rubbing the coating with a clean white rag soaked in methyl ethyl
keytone (MEK) for one minute after which time the lining shall not be softened as
indicated by scratching with a finger nail. The surface rubbed by the ketone rag
shall show no obvious signs of discoloration.
