shall be left uncovered. Provide pumps, jacks, gauges, struts and
apparatus necessary for carrying out the tests. Provide certificates for all

3. Test pressure shall be 30 kPa.

4. When testing, the pipeline shall be charged with water and all air released.
Care shall be taken during charging of mains to provide free outlets for air

and to prevent water hammer.

5. Pipeline shall then be kept under a nominal pressure for a period of 24


hours to allow for absorption. Thereafter, for a period of two hours the
amount of water pumped during the period of test shall be measured and
shall not exceed a rate of 0.1 liter per millimeter nominal diameter of the
sewer per kilometer length of main per 30 kPa head for each 24 hours.

6. If the amount of make-up water in the 2-hour test exceeds the specified
quantity, the leaks shall be located and repaired and the test repeated.

7. Test on each section shall be repeated until the specified degree of


watertightness has been obtained. Any additional tests required by the
Engineer shall be carried out by Contractor without any extra costs to
Owner.

8. In addition to the tests in separate sections, on completion, the main shall


be tested in whole or in parts to the same pressure and by the same
procedure as that outlined for individual sections.

9. No erosion or silting shall be allowed to occur in water courses from the


discharge of test water.

02730- 6
C. Testing and commissioning of pumpset motors and associated fittings shall be
