Standard Practice for Onsite Exfiltration Acceptance Testing of Precast Concrete Water and Wastewater Structures

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This is not a routine test. The values recorded are applicable only to the liquid holding structure being tested and at the time of testing.

5.2 Test times given in Table 1 are for prismatic volumes only. Test times for non-prismatic volumes, such as structures with tapered walls or non-uniform depths, must be mathematically adjusted and correlated to volumes calculated from average depths listed in Table 1.

5.3 All components of the assembled liquid holding structure must be designed or tested to withstand all loads and pressures resulting from this practice. Partial backfilling of the liquid holding structure prior to performing this test shall not be allowed unless approved by the owner.

5.4 The purchaser shall include the following information in bidding documents and on the purchase order, as applicable to the units being ordered:

5.4.1 Reference to this specification and date of issue,

5.4.2 Who will conduct the test, observe the results and determine acceptance,

5.4.3 Who will furnish labor, water and other material, measuring devices, and

5.4.4 Who will pay for the tests.
