00430.00 368 Section 00430 - Subsurface Drains
Description
00430.00Scope - This Work consists of constructing subsurface drains to the lines and grades
shown or established using drain pipe, special filter Material or granular drain Material, and drainage geotextile.
00430.01Descriptive Terms - The terms used in designating drain pipe or when referring to them
on the Plans are as follows:
Aluminum - The base metal for aluminum sheets.
Concrete, Steel, Aluminum, Polyethylene, Polyvinyl Chloride - The basic M aterial of the pipe.
Drain Pipe - Perforated pipe of specified Material.
Metal - Aluminum and steel.
Steel - The base metal for galvanized or aluminum coated sheets.
Subsurface Drain - Drainage system beneath the Base , usually with a perforated drain pipe, to collect and drain groundwater.
00430.02Contractor's Options - If the Contractor has an option of using different kinds of pipe, the
option and its limitations will be shown.
The limiting factors and requirements shown are minimums. The Contractor may substitute stronger, larger, and higher quality Material at any installation site, provided the substitution meets the approval of the Engineer and is made at no additional cost to the Agency.
00430.03Size Determination - The nominal size of pipe will be determined according to AASHTO
tolerances for pipe dimensions for the appropriate kind or class of pipe.

Construction
00430.40General - Excavate trench, prepare bedding, backfill, except as noted in 00430.46,
according to Section 00405 and dispose of excavated materials according to Section 00330. If required, place geotextile according to Section 00350 before backfilling. Install a Type W -1 delineator at each outlet protection block as shown.
00430.41Foundations in Unyielding Material - Excavate Rock , hardpan or other unyielding
materials a minimum of 3 inches below established grade of the pipe exterior to place special filter Material or drain backfill M aterial.
00430.42Laying Pipe - Lay the pipe according to Section 00445. Place pipe with perforations down
unless otherwise directed.
00430.43Joining Pipe - Fasten pipes together with appropriate coupling fittings or bands as
specified for the type of pipe used. Close upstream end of pipe with plugs suitable to prevent entry of Soil mater ials.
00430.44Contact Surfaces, Aluminum to Concrete - Coat aluminum pipe and aluminum coated
steel pipe that contacts portland cement concrete with asphalt mastic according to Section 00445.
00430.45Inspection - The installation will be inspected after the pipe is laid and joined and before
backfilling. Remove and reinstall or replace any pipe found to be out of alignment, unduly settled or damaged.
00430.46Backfilling:
uncompacted special filter Material above the top of the pipe. Above this, place approved backfill Material or special filter Material , as directed, and compact according to Section 00405.
backfill Material . Place granular drain backfill M aterial according to (a) above and as shown.
00430.80 370 Measurement
00430.80Measurement - The quantities of subsurface drain pipes of the vari ous kinds, types, and
sizes will be measured, with no deduction for fittings and special sections, along the pipe flow line from end to end of pipe. The quantities of subsurface drain outlets will be measured on the unit basis. Drainage geotextile will be measured according to 00350.80.
Delineators will be measured according to 00840.80. Trench resurfacing will be measured according to 00495.80.
Payment
00430.90Payment - The accepted quantities of Work performed under this Section will be paid for
at the Contract unit price, per unit of measurement, for the following items:
Pay Item Unit of Measurement
In item (a), the nominal diameter of pipe will be inserted in the blank.
Item (b) includes furnishing and installing pipe, constructing outlet protection blocks, connecting pipe to inlets, and excavating and disposing of excess materials.
Payment will be payment in full for furnishing and placing all Materials, and for furnishing all Equipment , labor, and Incidentals necessary to complete the Work as specified.
Drainage geotextile will be paid for according to 00350.90. Delineators will be paid for according to 00840.90.
