Excavation, except as modified by the Contract Documents or as directed by the Engineer.
603-3.02 Laying Pipe
A.General. Lay all pipe in close conformity to line and grade having a full, firm and even bearing at each joint and along the entire length of pipe. Lay all pipe beginning at the downstream end and progress upstream. Use the same material in each run of pipe unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.
B.Handling and Assembly of Pipe. Follow the Manufacturer's instructions or approved Materials Details except as modified on the Contract Plans or as directed by the Engineer.
C.Bell and Spigot Type Pipe. Lay all pipe with the bells upstream. Where the spigot end of an existing pipe does not fit the bell end of a new pipe, construct a concrete collar as shown on the Standard Sheets. Fill the bottom half of the space on the inside of the pipe between the existing
603-3 03
NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 2026 VOLUME 3 spigot and the new bell with an approved concrete repair material (§701-04 or §701-12). Alternate designs may be submitted to the Director, Materials Bureau, for approval. Where the spigot end fits into the bell end and the clearance is so great as to render the elastomeric gasket or preformed sealer ineffective, join the pipe by caulking a gasket of jute or oakum into the joint space and then fill with mortar of equal parts of Portland Cement and Mortar Sand or a preformed or poured caulking compound of a type approved by the Engineer.
D.Round Corrugated Metal Pipe and Pipe-Arches. Place steel or aluminum pipe with longitudinal seams located at the sides. Place circumferential seams with laps in the downstream direction so flow of water is directed over instead of under each succeeding downstream section.
E.Corrugated Structural Plate Pipe and Pipe-Arches. Assemble the plates for corrugated steel, polymer coated corrugated steel or aluminum structural plate pipe and pipe-arches to form the circular pipe or pipe-arch cross section as defined by the pipe manufacturer. For metal pipe arches, install the bolts nearest the visible edge of the lapped joint in the valley at the top of the corner plate of the corrugations. Cover the joint with the top of the corner plate on the outside of the structure with a geotextile conforming to Geotextile Underdrain from the Department's Materials Bureau Approved List. Extend the covering a minimum of 12inches beyond each side of the joint for its entire length. A minimum of 12 inches is required for any longitudinal lap.
F.Polyethylene and Polypropylene Pipe. Handle, store and assemble all pipe in accordance with the Approved Materials Details except as modified in the Contract Documents or by the Engineer. Joint misalignment resulting in offsets greater than 1/4 inch or joint separations greater than 1/2 between adjoining sections of pipe will not be allowed. Field cuts are permitted only at the terminal ends and with a minimum pipe length of 40 inches.
G.Corrugated Metal End Sections. Assemble all pipe end sections in accordance with the Contract Documents or as approved by the Engineer.
H.Thickness Measuring Equipment. Prior to laying any pipe, provide the Engineer with equipment to measure gauge and steel coating thickness. Gauge shall be measured with a micrometer caliper. Measure steel coating thickness with a Type II Fixed Probe Magnetic Gauge meeting the requirements of Steel Structures Painting Council Specification SSPC-PA2. When the Engineer verifies the required gauge and coating thickness the pipe may be laid. Micrometer calipers and Type II probes shall remain the property of the Contractor.
603-3.03 Bedding and Backfilling Pipe. Apply the standards of Section 203, Select Granular Fill and
the appropriate NYSDOT Standard Sheets. Select Granular Fill used to backfill around aluminum or aluminum coated pipes will be free of portland cement unless the pipe sections are thoroughly coated with Zinc Chromate Primer, §708-04 or an equivalent alternative as approved by the Materials Bureau. 100% of the Select Granular Fill used around Type IR and IIR corrugated aluminum pipe must pass a 2 inch sieve.
603-3.04 Damaged Pipe and Repair
A.General. Repair, realign or replace pipe that is damaged or disturbed through any cause occurring prior to acceptance of the contract. Pipe which is defective, and determined by the Engineer as unrepairable, will be unacceptable for installation and shall be replaced as directed by the Engineer at no cost to the State.
603-3 05
NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 2026 VOLUME 3
B.Concrete Pipe. Repair concrete pipe in accordance with the requirements set forth in §706-02 Reinforced Concrete Pipe. The repairs will be acceptable if they are sound, properly finished and cured, as determined by the Engineer, and the repaired pipe conforms to the requirements of the Contract Documents.
C.Damaged Bituminous Coating and Paving. Damage to bituminous coating shall be repaired with asphalt repair material. The repair material shall appear on the Department's Approved List. Damage to bituminous paving shall be repaired by an application of the original hot material for areas 2 square feet or less in each pipe section. Damage to bituminous paving in areas greater than 2 square feet in a pipe section will be cause for rejection of that section.
D.Polyethylene and Polypropylene Pipe. Polyethylene pipe with damaged ends may be incorporated into the work at terminal locations provided the damaged portion is totally removed by the field cut. Repair or replacement of pipe that is disturbed, damaged or misaligned must provide the same product as a new pipe installation, as determined by the Engineer. After backfilling operations are complete, inspect the pipe for deflection. No more than 5% deflection of the internal diameter will be allowed. If this is exceeded, the pipe will be rejected and removed at the Contractors expense.
E.Metallic and Polymer Coatings. Damage to metallic or polymer coating shall be repaired with metallic or polymer repair material in accordance with Materials Method NY 12 Corrugated Metal Pipe and Structural Plate for Pipe. The repair material shall appear on the Department's Approved List. Damage to metallic or polymer coating in areas greater than 2 square feet in a pipe section will be cause for rejection of that section.
603-3.05 Field Strutting of Corrugated and Structural Plate Pipe. Field strutting of corrugated metal
pipe and structural plate pipe may be done at the Contractor's option and expense to provide added protection from construction equipment and other loads during installation, backfilling and filling above the pipe. The method and scheduling of installation and removal of strutting, must be approved by the Engineer. Field strutting shall constitute installation of structurally sound timber sills, compression caps and struts.
603-3.06 Joints
A.Corrugated Metal Pipe. Use corrugated band field connections for corrugated metal pipe and pipe arch connections. Lap the band on equal portions of each culvert section to be connected. All connections shall be an approved type, fabricated and installed so that a secure and firm pipe connection may be readily made in the field. Thoroughly coat all aluminum or aluminum coated field connections in contact with concrete with Zinc Chromate Primer §708-04 or an equivalent alternative as approved by the Materials Bureau and permit to dry prior to concrete placement.
B.Structural Plate Pipe. Assemble plates for structural plate pipe and pipe arches with joints staggered such that not more than three (3) plates come together at any one point. Tighten all nuts for field or shop assembled plates to at least 150 but not more than 300 ft-lbs of torque, before filling and backfilling are commenced. Supply the Engineer-in-Charge with an approved torque wrench.
C.Concrete Pipe. For round concrete pipe, use flexible water-tight elastomeric gaskets. For elliptical pipe and cattle pass use concrete pipe joint sealing compound meeting the requirements of §705-16. Install all sealants at the time the pipe is being laid to line and grade. To detect leakage in the finished installation, internal pressure tests will be required in concrete pipe only when specified in the Contract Documents. If a leakage test is required, use an exfiltration
603-3 06
NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 2026 VOLUME 3 test between consecutive manholes. Perform the test by filling the pipe with water to a height 24 inches above the top of the pipe at the upstream manhole and allowing the pipe to remain saturated for a period of 72 hours prior to checking for leakage. No more than 250 gallons per inch of pipe diameter per mile in a 24 hour period will be allowed. Where a culvert or a storm drain system is open at either one or both ends, with or without end sections, use a minimum of 90 inches. Round pipe less than 24 inches in diameter, elliptical pipe, and larger diameter round pipe beginning with 66 inch diameter where the weight of the pipe section requires a shorter length shall have a minimum length of 72 inch. Shorter sections will be permitted where they are required to obtain an exact length of culvert. Use of shorter sections requires approval by the Engineer. For closed storm drain systems, drains having structures such as drop inlets on each end, the length of sections is unspecified. Connect the first three full sections at the open end(s) of a culvert or storm drain system together to restrain movement of the sections. A full section is defined as a section with a minimum laying length of 90 or 72 inches as defined in the preceding paragraph. An end section is considered as the first section. If a short section is used at the end or within the first three full sections of a culvert, connect it together with the first three full sections. Use a device at the springline on each side of the pipe to restrain the sections from movement. Use a device at least 12 feet in length when using 90 inch minimum length pipe sections and at least 120 inches in length when used with 72 inch minimum length sections. Securely anchor the devices to the pipe, with minimum slack in the device and the joints. Locate anchoring points a minimum of 18 inches from the end of the pipe sections and the flared end sections. Anchor each end of the device with a 1 inch diameter bolt with a nut and washer, or its equivalent, through the section wall. Apply ANSI B 18.2.1, ANSI B 18.2.2 and ANSI B 27.2, Grade A or B respectively for all nuts, bolts, and washers. For all round pipe 48 inches in diameter and smaller, and/or equivalent diameter elliptical pipe use a steel strap for the restraining device conforming to ASTM A36 with a minimum width of 2 1/4 inches , 1/4 inch minimum thickness with 1 1/4 inch maximum diameter holes centered 1 1/2 inch from each end. For pipe larger than 48 inches in diameter and for cattle pass, the requirements for the restraining devices will be shown on the contract plans. Apply the requirements of §719-01, Galvanized Coatings and Repair Methods: Type I for straps and Type II for nuts, bolts, and washers for the steel strap and anchoring hardware. Alternative designs of the restraining device and anchoring hardware will be considered for approval by the Director of the Materials Bureau if they provide equivalent restraining properties and durability. Restraining devices may be placed on either the inside or outside of the pipe. If placed on the inside, the device shall not protrude from the wall to the degree where flow would be obstructed. Only cold bending of the restraining device is allowed. Holes in the pipe and end sections required for the anchor bolts may be drilled in the field.
D.Ductile Iron Pipes. Form joints by caulking a gasket of jute or oakum into the hubs and then filling with mortar consisting of equal parts of Portland Cement Type I or Type II, Mortar Sand, or at the Contractor's option, a preformed or poured caulking compound of a type approved by the Engineer. For sanitary sewer systems, apply the joint requirements of ASTM C425.
E.Polyethylene and Polypropylene Pipe Connections. Manufactured ends shall be used for joint assemblies; no field cuts are permitted unless approved by the Engineer. No separations greater than 1/2 inch are permitted between adjoining sections of pipe. Use only appropriate fittings for lateral connections supplied by the pipe manufacturer and shown on the standard sheet, except that the pipe shall protrude 2 inches into the basin to provide a 45° battered grout seal. Apply the battered grout seal to both the interior and exterior faces of the basin.
603-3 07
NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 2026 VOLUME 3
F.Dissimilar Metal Pipe Connections. Use a sleeve gasket when joining corrugated pipe or end sections to pipes or end sections fabricated of dissimilar metals between the pipe(s) and the coupling band. Keep the ends apart, to prevent electrical contact between the dissimilar metals. Apply the requirements of ASTM A36/A36M for all gaskets.
G.Breaking into Existing Drainage Structures. When breaking into existing drainage structures to make a pipe connection, remove only the minimum amount of material from the wall of the structure. After inserting the pipe, fill the cavity between the pipe exterior and the wall of the drainage structure in accordance with the drainage structure Standard Sheets. Large spaces may be chinked with 704-13 Precast Concrete Driveway and Sidewalk Pavers.
H.Tolerance. A 1/2 inch difference in diameter is allowed when joining round pipes or the spans or rises of pipe-arches. A 1 1/2 inch difference is allowed in the perimeters. These tolerances may be attained by proper production control or by match-marking pipe ends.
603-3.07 Concrete Paving for Corrugated Structural Plate Pipe. Place reinforced Portland Cement
Concrete over the inverts of corrugated structural plate pipe where specified and indicated on the Contract Documents, so as to form a smooth interior. Do not place pavement until the embankment has been completed over the pipe and settlement has been completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Pave the bottom 25 percent of the inside circumference for round pipe, the bottom 30 percent of the inside periphery for arch spans of 10 feet 3 inches and shorter and the bottom 35 percent of the inside periphery for arch spans longer than 10 feet 3 inches unless otherwise specified by the Engineer. A minimum cover of 4 inches is required over all corrugations. Schedule and conduct the diversion of water operations prior to and during the placement of pavement in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. Prior to placing pavement clean and dry the surfaces to be in contact with concrete to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Place the steel fabric reinforcement on the crests of corrugations and securely fasten to the pipe or pipe-arch by welding or by other methods acceptable to the Engineer. Place the reinforcement to provide a 4 inch minimum clearance from the edges of concrete and lap 6 inch minimum. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, the steel fabric reinforcement shall consist of No. 6 gauge wire at 6 inch centers transversely and longitudinally. Finish the pavement to a smooth surface acceptable to the Engineer. Within 18 hours after completion of finishing, protect the surface by either an approved curing cover or an approved membrane curing compound applied at a minimum rate of 1 gallon per 150 square feet. However, any concrete in the invert that would be exposed to sunlight must be cured immediately after the finishing operations have been completed and the surface water has evaporated. Cure the concrete for a minimum period of 48 hours before water is permitted to flow on the invert. If the atmospheric temperature is below 45°F, the requirements of 555-3.08C, Provisions for Concreting in Cold Weather, shall apply.
603-3.08 Relaying Pipe. Carefully remove, clean, preserve, haul and relay pipe as directed by the
Engineer or as called for in the Contract Documents. The relaid pipe shall be true to line and grade, and have a full, firm, even bearing and be comparable to newly laid pipe. Construct joints of relayed pipe as specified in §603-3.06. When existing pipe is damaged during removal or relaying, rendering it unfunctional, replace it with new pipe at no additional cost to the State. Existing pipe which is determined by the Engineer to be unfit for relaying may be destroyed before removal. Apply the requirements of §603-3.03 for backfill and placement.
603-3.09 Anchor Bolts. Unless instructed otherwise, use anchor bolts, as specified in §707-20 to anchor
the ends of corrugated metal pipes, and sectional plate arches to either reinforced or plain concrete headwalls.
