SECTION 717
REPLACEMENT or Repair OF UNDERGROUND SEWERS BY PIPE-BURSTING, PIPE SPLITTING, SLIP LINING, FOLD AND FORM LINING OR OTHER TRENCHLESS METHODS
717.1 General.
This section shall govern the replacement or repair of existing building sewer piping by pipe-bursting, pipe splitting, slip lining, fold and form lining or other trenchless methods. (TRENCHLESS METHOD)
717.2 Applicability.
The replacement of building sewer piping by trenchless methods shall be limited to gravity drainage piping.
717.3 Pre-installation inspection.
The existing piping sections to be replaced shall be inspected internally by a recorded video camera survey. The survey shall include notations of the position of cleanouts and the depth of connections to the existing piping. The inspection shall determine and confirm if the piping is such that trenchless methods are a feasible application.
717.4 Pipe.
The replacement piping shall meet material specifications of TABLE 702.2.
717.5 Pipe fittings.
Pipe fittings to be connected to the replacement piping shall be compatible with pipe installed and existing pipe.
717.6 Cleanouts.
Where the existing building sewer did not have cleanouts meeting the requirements of this code, clean-out fittings shall be installed as required by this code.
717.7 Post-installation inspection.
The completed replacement piping section shall be inspected internally by a recorded video camera survey. The video survey shall be reviewed and approved by the code official prior to pressure testing of the replacement piping system.
717.8 Pressure testing.
The replacement piping system as well as the connections to the replacement piping shall be tested in accordance with Section 312.
(b) Not less than three copies of such Code are on file with the Assistant City Manager, and the Assistant City Manager shall keep the same with the ordinance book of the City and make the same available for public use, inspection and examination.
