IRRIGATION SYSTEMS - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS VOLUME III

The fittings for the above pipes should be compression quick joint type with
minimum 1.0 MPa nominal pressure rating.

24.3.3 Detectable Underground Warning Tape


A. Marking tape shall be laminated polyethylene and aluminium foil construction
capable of detection by low output generator equipment. Tapes shall remain
legible and colour fast in soil conditions at pH values of 2.5 to 11.0 inclusive. The
tapes shall be of the type specially manufactured for making and locating
underground utilities.

B. The tape shall be not less than 150mm wide and shall have the phrase “CAUTION
– IRRIGATION PIPELINE AND CONTROL CABLES” in English and Arabic
stamped in black letters and repeated at maximum intervals of two meters. Tape
shall be terminated inside valve boxes to allow clipping of detector equipment to
the tape. The tape shall be laid 300mm above pipeline.

24.3.4 Thrust Blocks


A. Thrust blocks shall be provided to anchor all mechanically jointed pipes. Heavy-
duty polyethylene sheet shall be used to wrap the pipe at the point off contact
between pipeline fittings and thrust block.

B. Where manifolds and laterals pass under roads or paved areas and through
foundations and walls shall be in ducts.

C. Construct a thrust block at every bend and junction on pressure pipelines of


concrete Class 'B' to the dimensions shown on the Drawings or ordered by the
Engineer.

D. Ensure that the thrust block has been tanked before additional excavation is made
to obtain a firm thrust face against undisturbed ground. Place the concrete backfill
to the excavation the same day as the additional excavation is carried out.

E. No pressure is to be applied to thrust blocks until the concrete has matured in


accordance with Section 03300 Cast-in-place concrete (Loading of structures).

F. Where individual non-end resistant fittings are used, or when connections are
made to non-end-load resistant pipe systems, local anchor blocks must be
provided as described above.

G. Where manifolds and laterals pass under roads or paved areas and through
foundations and walls they shall be placed in ducts.

24.3.5 Valves and Accessories


A. Isolation Gate Valves

Isolation valves shall comply with ISO 9635-2. All isolation gate valves shall be
ductile iron with flange end connection to PN16. For additional specifications refer
to Section 15115.

B. Quick Coupling Valve and Fittings.

The valves shall provide plug-in type, underground water outlets for the temporary
connection of hosepipes. Connection and operation shall be by means of special
coupler keys inserted into the valve throat. The valves and key are to be of the
