(A) When a pipe is to be spliced into an existing sewer, the existing sewer shall be exposed and then mechanically cut at right angles to the pipe barrel, with sufficient length removed so that a pipe section with plain ends can be joined to the cut pipe with approved couplings to form an airtight joint. All work shall be done in the presence of the Engineer. Care must be taken to fill all voids under and around the pipe splice with Type “B” to properly support the new pipe and prevent any settlement of the spliced section.
(B) The point of connection of the new pipe to the existing sewer shall be plugged to ensure that no materials from the construction activities involved in the installation of the new sewer enters the existing system.
