optional pipe material from the optional materials tabulation sheet will be used. Once a pipe material is selected, do not change pipe materials without approval of the Engineer. When the Plans designate a type (or types) of pipe, use only the type (or choose from the types) designated. As an exception, when the Plans designate reinforced concrete pipe as Class S, Class I, Class II, Class III and Class IV, the Contractor may use non -reinforced concrete pipe up to and including 36 inch in diameter.

430-3.2 Side Drain: If the Plans do not designate a type (or types) of pipe, the Contractor

may use either a minimum Class I concrete pipe, corrugated steel pipe, corrugated aluminum pipe, corrugated high-density polyethylene pipe, steel reinforced polyethylene ribbed pipe, polypropylene pipe, or PVC pipe. If one of the metal types is chosen, use the minimum gage specified in Section 943 for steel pipe or Section 945 for aluminum pipe. Alternatively, w hen metal pipe is allowed and no future maintenance concerns exist , the Contractor may propose the pipe gage based on the Department’s Drainage Manual and Culvert Service Life Estimator for approval by the Engineer. When extending existing pipes, construct the pipe extensions of the same size and kind as the existing pipe. Extensi ons of existing pipes, whose materials are no longer produced, shall be extended with the most similar pipe material available. Non-reinforced concrete pipe may also be substituted for concrete pipe in side drains, subject to the provisions of 430 -3.1.

430-4 Laying Pipe.

Do not allow departure from and return to plan alignment and g rade to exceed 1/16 inch per foot of nominal pipe length, with a total of not more than 1 inch departure from theoretical line and grade. Take up and relay any pipe that is not in true alignment or which shows any settlement after laying at no additional e xpense to the Department. Do not use concrete pipe with lift holes except round pipe which has an inside diameter in excess of 54 inches or any elliptical pipe. Repair lift holes, if present, with hand -placed, stiff, non -shrink, 1-to-1 mortar of cement and fine sand, after first washing out the hole with water. Completely fill the void created by the lift hole with mortar. Cover the repaired area with a 24 inch by 24 inch piece of filter fabric secured to the pipe. FY 2023-24 Return to Table of Contents Follow the manufacturer’s instructi ons, to secure the filter fabric to the pipe, until the backfill is placed and compacted. Do not cut or drill into or through the corrugations or ribs of plastic pipe except when necessary to meet the dimensional requirements shown in the Plans. When installing pipes in structures, construct inlet and outlet pipes of the same size and kind as the connecting pipe shown in the Plans. Use the same pipe material within each continuous run of pipe. Extend the pipes through the walls for a distance beyond th e outside surface sufficient for the intended connections, and construct the concrete around them neatly to prevent leakage along their outer surface as shown on Standard Plans, Index 425-001. Keep the inlet and outlet pipes flush with the inside of the wa ll. Resilient connectors as specified in 942 -3 may be used in lieu of a masonry seal. Furnish and install a filter fabric jacket around all pipe joints and the joint between the pipe and the structure in accordance with Standard Plans, Indexes 425-001 and 430- 001. Use fabric meeting the physical requirements of Type D -3 specified in Section 985. Extend the fabric a minimum of 12 inches beyond each side of the joint or both edges of the coupling band, if a coupling band is used. The fabric must have a mini mum width of 24 inches, and a length sufficient to provide a minimum overlap of 24 inches. Secure the filter fabric jacket against the outside of the pipe by metal or plastic strapping or by other methods approved by the Engineer. Meet the following mini mum joint standards: Table 430-1 Pipe Application Minimum Standard Storm and Cross Drains Water-tight Gutter Drain Water-tight Side Drains Soil-tight When rubber gaskets are to be installed in the pipe joint, the gasket must be the sole element relied on to maintain a tight joint. Soil tight joints must be watertight to 2 psi. Water-tight joints must be water -tight to 5 psi unless a higher pressure rati ng is required in the Plans. When laying pipes that pass through mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) reinforced fill , connect the portion of the pipe within the wall to the external portion of the pipe run only after the full height of the wall supported embankment is in place.

430-4.8 1 Video Report: Provide video files via digital media (DVD, flash drive,

or other) or by online digital distribution with a minimum standard resolution of 720 x 480. Use a camera with lighting suitable to allow a clear picture of the en tire periphery of the pipe. Center the camera in the pipe both vertically and horizontally and be able to pan and tilt to a 90 degree angle with the axis of the pipe and rotating 360 degrees. Use equipment to move the camera through the pipe that will not obstruct the camera’s view or interfere with proper documentation of the pipe’s condition. The video image shall be clear, focused, and relatively free from roll, static, or other image distortion qualities that would prevent the reviewer from evaluatin g the condition of the pipe. The video will include identification before each section of pipe filmed. The identification will include the project number, the structure number corresponding to the structure number in the Plans for the project, size of pipe , the date and time, and indicate which pipe is being filmed if multiple pipes are connected to the structure. Notes should be taken during the video recording process. Submit these notes along with the video. Move the camera through the pipe at a speed not greater than 30 feet per minute. Mark the video with the distance down the pipe. The distance shall have an accuracy of one foot per 100 feet. Film the entire circumference at each joint. Stop the camera and pan when FY 2023-24 Return to Table of Contents necessary to document and measure defects. Position the camera head perpendicular to all defects requiring measurement by the video micrometer.

430-4.8 2 Reinspection: At any time after reviewing the submitted pipe

inspection reports, the Engineer may direct additional inspections. If no defects are observed during the reinspection, the Department will pay for the cost of the reinspections in accordance with 4-3. If defects are observed, the reinspection and all work performed to correct the defects will be done at no cost to the Departme nt. Acceptance of all replacements or repairs will be based on video documentation of the completed work prior to Final Acceptance.

430-5 Removing Existing Pipe.

If the Plans indicate that existing pipe is to remain the property of the Department, collect and stack along the right -of-way all existing pipe or pipe arch so indicated in the Plans to be removed, or that does not conform to the lines and grades of the proposed work and that is not to be re-laid, as directed by the Engineer. Take care to prevent damage to salvageable pipe during removal and stacking operations.

430-6.3 Notification to Railroad Company: Notify the railroad company and the

Engineer at least ten days prior to the date on which pipe is to be placed under the railroad tracks.

430-6.4 Placing Pipe by Jacking: Obtain the Engineer’s and the railroad company’s

approval of the d etails of the jacking method to be used, when placing pipe through the railroad embankment, before the work is started.

430-6.5 Use of Tunnel Liner: When the railroad company requires that a tunnel liner be

used for placing the pipe in lieu of the jacking method, the Department will pay for the tunnel liner material separately in cases where the Contract Documents do not require the use of a tunnel liner. For these cases the Department will reimburse the Contractor for the actual cost of the liner, deliver ed at the site. The Department will base such cost on a liner having the minimum gage acceptable to the railroad.

430-7 Specific Requirements for Concrete Pipe.

430-7.1 Sealing Joints : Seal the pipe joints with round rubber or profile gaskets meeting

the requirements of Section 449. Ensure that the gasket and the surface of the pipe joint, including the gasket recess, are clean and free from grit, dirt , and other foreign matter, at the time the joints are made. In order to facilitate closure of the joint, application of a vegetable soap lubricant immediately before closing of the joint will be permitted. Prelubricated gaskets may be FY 2023-24 Return to Table of Contents used in lieu of a vegetable soap lubricant when the lubricating material is certified to be inert with respect to the rubber m aterial.

430-7.2 Laying Requirements for Concrete Pipe with Rubber Gasket Joints: Do not

allow the gap between sections of pipe to exceed 5/8 inch for pipe diameters of 12 inches through 18 inches, 7/8 inch for pipe diameters of 24 through 66 inches, and 1 inch for pipe diameters 72 inches and larger. Where minor imperfections in the manufacture of the pipe create an apparent gap in excess of the tabulated gap, the Engineer will accept the joint provided that the imperfection does not exceed 1/3 the circum ference of the pipe, and the rubber gasket is 1/4 inch or more past the pipe joint entrance taper. Where concrete pipes are outside of these tolerances, replace them at no expense to the Department. Do not apply mortar, joint compound, or other filler to t he gap which would restrict the flexibility of the joint.

430-7.3 Field Joints for Elliptical Concrete Pipe: Use either a preformed plastic gasket

material or an approved rubber gasket to make a field joint.

430-7.3 1 Plastic Gasket: Meet the following requirements when field joints are

made from preformed plastic gasket material:

430-7.3 1.1 General: Install field joints in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions and the following:

430-7.3 1.2 Material: Meet the requirements of 942 -2.

430-7.3 1.3 Joint Design: Ensure that the pipe manufacturer submits

details to the Engineer regarding configuration of the joint and the amount of gasket material required to affect a satisfactory seal. Do not brush or wipe joint surfaces which are to be in contact with the gasket material with a cement slurry. Fill minor voids with cement slurry.

430-7.3 1.4 Primer: Apply a primer of the type recommended by the

manufacturer of the gasket material to all joint surfaces which are to be in contact with the gasket material, prior to application of the gasket material. Thoroughly clean and dry the surface to be primed.

430-7.3 1.5 Application of Gasket: Apply gasket material to form a

continuous gasket around the entire circumference of the leading edge of the tongue and the groove joint, in accordance with the detail shown on Standard Plans, Index 430-001. Do not remove the paper wrapper on the exterior surface of the gasket material until immediately prior to joining of sections. Apply plastic gasket mater ial only to surfaces which are dry. When the atmospheric temperature is below 60ºF, either store plastic joint seal gaskets in an area above 70ºF, or artificially warm the gaskets to 70ºF in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer.

430-7.3 1.6 Installatio n of Pipe: Remove and reposition or replace any

displaced or contaminated gasket as directed by the Engineer. Install the pipe in a dry trench. Carefully shape the bottom of the trench to minimize the need for realignment of sections of pipe after they are placed in the trench. Hold to a minimum any realignment of a joint after the gaskets come into contact. Prior to joining the pipes, fill the entire joint with gasket material and ensure that when the pipes are joined there is evidence of squeeze -out of gasket material for the entire internal and external circumference of the joint. Trim excess material on the interior of the pipe to provide a smooth interior surface. If a joint is defective, remove the leading section of pipe and reseal the joint.

430-7.3 2 Rubber Gasket: Meet the following requirements when field joints are

made with profile rubber gaskets:

430-7.3 2.1 General: Install field joints in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions and the following: FY 2023-24 Return to Table of Contents

details to the Engineer regarding configuration of the joint and gasket required to effect a satisfactory seal. Do not apply mortar, joint compound, or other fill er which would restrict the flexibility of the gasket joint.

430-7.4 Requirements for Concrete Radius Pipe:

430-7.4 1 Design: Construct concrete radius pipe in segments not longer than

4 feet (along the pipe centerline), except where another length is called for in the Contract Documents. Join each segment using round rubber gaskets. Ensure that the pipe manufacturer submits details of the proposed joint, segment length and shape for approval by the Engineer, prior to manufacture.

430-7.4 2 Pre-Assembly: Ensure that the manufacturer pre -assembles the entire

radius section in his yard, in the presence of the Engineer, to ensure a proper fit for all parts. At the option of the manufacturer, the Contractor may assemble the pipe without gaskets. Consecutively number the joints on both the interior and exterior surfaces of each joint, and make match marks showing proper position of joints. Install the pipe at the project site in the same order as pre -assembly.

430-8 Specific Requirements for Corrug ated Metal Pipe.

430-8.1 Field Joints :

430-8.1 1 General: Make a field joint with locking bands, as specified in

Article 9 — of AASHTO M36 and AASHTO M196M for aluminum pipe. For aluminum pipe,

fabricate bands from the same alloy as the culvert sheeting. When existing pipe to be extended is helically fabricated, make a field joint between the existing pipe and the new pipe using one of the following methods:

1.Cut the new pipe to remove one of the re -rolled annular end sections required in Sections 943 or 945, or fabricate the pipe so that the re -rolled annular section is fabricated only on one end. Use either a spiral (helical) band with a gasket or a flat band with gaskets as required by 430 -8.1.2 (2) to join the pipe sections.
2.The Contract or may construct a concrete jacket as shown on Standard Plans, Index 430-001.

430-8.1 2 Side Drain, Storm and Cross Drain, and Gutter Drains: Where

corrugated metal pipe is used as side drain, storm and cross drain, or gutter drain, use a rubber or neoprene gasket of a design shown to provide a joint as specified in 430 -4. Use a gasket of one of the following dimensions:

1.For annular j oints with 1/2 inch depth corrugation: either a single gasket a minimum of 7 inches by 3/8 inch or two gaskets a minimum of 3 -1/2 inches by 3/8 inch; and for annular joints with 1 inch depth corrugations: either a single gasket a minimum of 7 inches by 7/8 inch or two gaskets a minimum of 3 -1/2 inches by 7/8 inch.
2.For helical joints with 1/2 inch depth corrugation: either a single gasket a minimum of 5 inches by 1 inch or two gaskets a minimum of 3 -1/2 inches by 1 inch; and for helical joints with 1 inch depth corrugations: either a single gasket a minimum of 5 inches by 1 -1/2 inches or two gaskets a minimum of 3 -1/2 inches by 1 -1/2 inches.
3.Such other gasket designs as may be approved by the Engineer. If, in lieu of a single gasket spanning the joint, two gaskets are used, place these individual gaskets approximately 2 inches from each pipe end at the joint. When two gaskets are used, seal the overlapping area on the coupling band between the gaskets consistent FY 2023-24 Return to Table of Contents with the joint performance spec ified. The Contractor may tuck a strip of preformed gasket material over the bottom lip of the band for this purpose. Use coupling bands that provide a minimum circumferential overlap of 3 inches. As the end connections on the coupling band are tightened, ensure that there is no local bending of the band or the connection. Use precurved coupling bands on pipe diameters of 24 inches or less. Use flat gaskets mee ting the requirements of ASTM D1056, designation 2C2 or 2B3. In placing flat gaskets on pipe pr ior to placing the coupling band, do not stretch the gasket more than 15% of its original circumference. Use circular gaskets mee ting the requirements of ASTM C361. Do not stretch the circular gasket more than 20% of its original circumference in placing t he gasket on pipe. Use preformed plastic gasket material meeting the composition requirements of 942 -2.2. Apply an approved vegetable soap lubricant, as specified for concrete pipe in 430-7.1.1.

430-8.1 3 Alternate Joint: In lieu of the above -specified combination of locking

bands and flat gaskets, the Contractor may make field joints for these pipe installations by the following combinations:

1.Use the metal bands as spe cified in Article 9 of AASHTO M36M that are at least 10 -1/2 inches wide and consist of a flat central section with a corrugated section near each end, designed to match the annular corrugation in the pipe with which they are to be used. Connect the bands in a manner approved by the Engineer, with a suitable fas tening device such as the use of two galvanized 1/2 inch diameter bolts through a galvanized bar and galvanized strap, suitably welded to the band. Use a strap that is the same gage as the band. Where helically corrugated pipe is to be jointed by this a lternate combination, ensure that at least the last two corrugations of each pipe section are annular, and designed such that the band will engage each pipe end with the next -to-outside annular corrugation.
2.For these bands, use a rubber gasket with a circular cross -section of the “O-ring” type conforming to ASTM C361. Use gaskets having the following cross -sectional diameter for the given size of pipe: Table 430-2 Non-SI Units Pipe Size Gasket Diameter 12 inches through 36 inches (with 1/2 inch depth corrugations) 13/16 inch 42 inches through 96 inches (with 1/2 inch depth corrugations) 7/8 inch 36 inches through 120 inches (with 1 inch depth corrugations) 1-3/8 inches Use preformed gasket material to seal the overlapping area on the coupling band between gaskets.
3.Use channel band couplers in helical pipe with ends which have been reformed and flanged specifically to receive these bands. Use channel band couplers that are of a two piece design, are fabricated from galvanized steel stock conforming to AASHTO M36, have 2 inch by 2 inch by 3/16 inch angles fastened to the band ends to allow for proper tightening, and meet the following: FY 2023-24 Return to Table of Contents Table 430-3 Non SI Units Band Thickness Pipe Wall T hickness 0.079 inch 0.109 inch or lighter 0.109 inch 0.138 inch or heavier 3/4 inch wide 0.109 inch or lighter 1 inch wide 0.138 inch or heavier Furnish two 1/2 inch diameter connection bolts with ea ch band, that conform to ASTM A307, Grade A and are electroplated in accordance with ASTM B633. Use a gasket with the joint that is a hydrocarbon blend of butyl rubber meeting the chemical composition and physical properties of 942 -2.2. Use a 3/8 by 3/4 inch gasket for pipe fabricated fro m 0.109 inch or lighter material and a 3/8 by 1 inch gasket for pipe fabricated from 0.138 inch and heavier material. The Contractor may use a flange band coupler without the gasket for all applications other than side drain, storm and cross drain, and gutter drain. Do not use the flange band coupler to join dissimilar types of pipe. The Contractor may join reformed flanged helical pipe to existing annular or reformed pipe having annular ends. On non -gasketed installations, use either an annular ba nd or an alternate joint described in 430 -8.1.3. On gasketed installations, use an annular band, minimum of five corrugations in width, in conjunction with two O -ring gaskets as specified in

430-8.1 3. Use mastic material to seal the area of band overlap.

The minimum joint performance standards specified in 430 -4.1 apply.
