A13 Reconnections of Existing Services <br />Services shall be identified by the Contractor prior to lining work. After the pipe has been <br />reconstructed and tested, the service connections shall be reconnected. It is the Contractor's <br />responsibility to make sure that all service connections are reconnected, unless otherwise <br />directed by the Engineer. A CCTV camera and remote cutting tool shall be used for internal <br />reconnections. The machined opening shall be at least ninety five percent (95%) of the service <br />connection opening and the bottom of both openings must match. The opening shall not be <br />more than one hundred percent (100%) of the service connection opening. <br />The edges of the opening shall not have pipe fragments or liner fragments, which may obstruct <br />flow or snag debris. In the event that service reinstatements result in openings that are greater <br />than one hundred percent (100%) of the service connection opening, the Contractor shall install <br />a CIPP type repair, sufficiently in size to completely cover the over -cut service connection. No <br />additional compensation will be paid for the repair of over -cut service connections. Discs of <br />pipe material resulting from service tap cutting shall be collected at the next manhole <br />downstream of the pipe rehabilitation operation prior to leaving the site. Discs shall not be <br />allowed to pass through the system. <br />A14 CIPP Short -Liner <br />The CIPP short -liner shall meet the requirements of the full length CIPP liner and the following: <br />1. The Short -Liner shall be inserted into the existing sewer line with a power winch and <br />steel cable attached to the end of the liner by use of an appropriate pulling head. <br />Length of the liner to be inserted at any one time shall be governed by the length of <br />the section in need of repair or the maximum length of the installation equipment <br />considering the size and condition of the sewer. <br />2. A mobile installation unit shall be brought to the site ready to process the liner. The <br />installation unit shall contain heat generating equipment, CCTV facility and other <br />auxiliary miscellaneous equipment necessary for controlling processing of the Short - <br />Liner pipe. The equipment shall be positioned next to the point of entry with minimum <br />obstruction to the other side activities and shall be operated by trained personnel <br />only. <br />3. The pressure shall be increased to compensate for the heating -cooling transition and <br />it shall be maintained until the temperature at the lowest critical point is 100° F (38° <br />C). This shall constitute completion of the Short -Liner pipe processing. The pipe <br />within the pipe shall be tight fitting and adapted to the existing sewer pipe. <br />B TESTING AND INSPECTION <br />B1 Testing <br />CIPP samples shall be prepared and tested in accordance with ASTM F1216, Section 8.1, using <br />either method proposed. Leakage testing of the CIPP shall be accomplished during cure while <br />under a positive head. CIPP products in which the pipe wall is cured while not in direct contact <br />with the pressurizing fluid (e.g., a removable bladder) must be tested by an alternative method <br />approved by the Engineer. <br />Page 66 <br />
