16、28-2959, United States.maintenance of the sewer, and provide for the safe and efficientoperation of the optical fiber system. The ultimate success ofthe installation and operation of optical fiber and sewer systemsdepends upon the proper evaluation and selection of appropri-ate sewers. The steps in

17、the process include the followingitems:4.1.1 Cleaning,4.1.2 Inspection and evaluation of the sewers which arecandidates for optical fiber cable or conduit installation,4.1.3 Selection of sewer route, and4.1.4 Documentation of cable routing.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is intended to assi

18、st engineers and sewerowner/operators in determining the suitability of sewers for asecondary use as hosts for optical fiber cables and conduits. Itmust be kept in mind that the primary use of the sewers is tocarry wastewater or storm water, or both.Any secondary use ofthe system shall not significa

19、ntly impair the primary use. It isup to the engineer to decide upon any exceptions that may beinvolved in the selection process.5.2 Before the selection procedure begins, the installer musthave explicit authorization from the owner/operator allowingan evaluation to be conducted for the installation

20、of opticalfiber cables or conduits within their sewer system.5.3 Engineers and owners should also be cognizant of howthe installation of optical fiber cable or conduits will impact thefuture operational, maintenance, and rehabilitation needs of thesewers.6. Sewer Selection Procedure6.1 Cleaning and

21、Flow Bypass:6.1.1 Requirement to CleanPrior to selection of a candi-date sewer, the sewer must be thoroughly cleaned to allow forproper inspection and evaluation according to the selectioncriteria outlined below. The National Association of SewerServices Companies (NASSCO) provides a helpful standar

22、d(NASSCO Standard). This cleaning process shall be performedwith the equipment recommended by the optical fiber installeras being compatible (see 6.1.3). The cleaning process thenserves as a test of the effectiveness of the cleaning equipmentas well as allowing the inspection of the integrity of the

23、 sewer.6.1.2 Exceptions to Cleaning RequirementIn cases wherethe pipe has recently been cleaned or has been recentlyinstalled, the cleaning requirement may be waived by mutualconsent of the system owner and optical fiber system installer.6.1.3 Requirement for CompatibilityThe installer shallrecommen

24、d compatible sewer-cleaning methods to the owner/operator. Such methods shall be compatible with both theexisting pipeline (material and condition) and with the opticalfiber system, and shall be effective in maintaining the operationof the sewer without compromising the performance of thesewer. The

25、installer shall provide written assurance of thesuitability for use of these methods throughout the term that theoptical fiber system remains installed in the sewer.6.1.4 Requirement to BypassUnless otherwise agreed bythe owner/operator, the flow in the candidate sewer must betemporarily stopped or

26、fully bypassed prior to inspection toallow for a complete examination and evaluation of the internalpipe circumference.6.2 Inspection:6.2.1 TelevisingThe inspection of the sewer system andappurtenances shall be accomplished by means of a closedcircuit television system (CCTV) or other equivalent tec

27、hnol-ogy. Records of the inspection in analog or digital format willbe maintained and forwarded to the system owner/operator inthe selection report.6.2.1.1 Visual QualityThe visual quality will be such as toallow determination of the presence of cracks, separated joints,grease, deposits, sags, high

28、water marks, infiltration, corrosion,and root intrusion.6.2.1.2 Distance RecordingThe distance from the startingpoint of each inspection run must be designated by a specificreference (for example, middle of manhole) acceptable to theowner/operator.6.2.1.3 Acceptability of Digital Optical Scanning (N

29、ewTechnology)If acceptable to the owner, digital optical scan-ning may be substituted for CCTV. The requirement for degreeof resolution and recording of data remains the same as forCCTV methods.6.2.1.4 Replicable System Assessment MethodThemethod used to document the presence and severity of sewerfa

30、ults shall be replicable. Unless otherwise specified by theowner/operator, a standard fault coding system such as theWRc Standard Fault Code (or equivalent) may be used tosatisfy this criterion. The system selected should be capable ofdocumenting, at a minimum, the presence and severity of thefollow

31、ing types of faults: longitudinal cracks, radial cracks,breaks, gapped joints, damaged seals, infiltration/inflow, sags,levels of corrosion, out-of-round pipe, and uneven slopes.6.2.1.5 Requirement for Trained ProfessionalThe inspec-tion operator shall be a trained individual with suitableprofession

32、al qualifications (for example, NASSCO certifica-tion) to provide a qualified inspection opinion as to faultcoding.6.3 Sewer Selection Criteria:6.3.1 The data from the inspection and evaluation should beused to identify the sewer sections and manholes suitable forinstallation of optical fiber cables

33、 and conduits. The candidatesewer must meet minimum criteria based upon hydraulic,structural, operations and maintenance, and flow chemistryanalysis. Those sections not meeting the selection criteria shallbe rejected, suitably repaired or rehabilitated, or otherwisemodified and re-inspected. Otherwi

34、se, an alternative route shallbe selected in order for the project to receive recommendation.6.3.2 Requirement for Professional OpinionThe individu-al(s) reviewing the inspection video and evaluating the seweras a potential candidate for optical fiber cables and conduitsmust be a professional engine

35、er or qualified individual accept-able to the owner/operator who has both the training andexperience in sewer assessment required to provide a qualifiedopinion on the suitability of the sewer in accordance with theselection criteria.F 2303 03 (2009)26.3.3 Selection CriteriaThe evaluation of candidat

36、e sew-ers requires careful consideration, research and review of thefollowing criteria:6.3.3.1 HydraulicsThe analysis must address the feasibil-ity of installing optical fiber cables or conduits, or both, undercurrent flow conditions and provide an assessment of theimpact of optical fiber cable and

37、conduit installations underboth current and future design flow conditions, as determinedby the owner/operator.(1) Unless otherwise determined by the owner/operator, thedesign flow requirement must be satisfied at 50 % full forsanitary and storm sewers less than 15-in. diameter, and 75 %full for larg

38、er pipes.(2) The pipe must be investigated for service history,unusual scouring, corrosion, grease buildup, dry-weather highflow, dry-weather low flow, wet-weather high flow, flowvelocity, debris load, root intrusion, overflows, blockages,maintenance history, protruding laterals, hydraulic jumps, tu

39、r-bulence, sags, infiltration, curves, and any other factor that mayaffect the installation or maintenance of optical fiber cables andconduits.(3) The analysis must also consider anticipated future flowrequirements in terms of capacity and changes tributary to thepipe. This may occur when the pipe i

40、s used as a relief line toaccept diverted flow from parallel sewers, or as industrialdischarge is added to the system or as the sewer demandincreases with population increases and development.(4) Any non-structural defects (such as root intrusion,protruding laterals or infiltration) must be repaired

41、 to allow apipe to remain a candidate for optical fiber system installation.6.3.3.2 StructuralThe pipeline and appurtenances must bestructurally stable and capable of resisting all external loads.(1) Pipes with dispersed short, hairline cracks or otherminor defects are generally considered structura

42、lly soundprovided the defects appear stable, there is no evidence of soilloss and there is no active infiltration. These pipes arecandidates for optical fiber system installation.(2) Characteristics that require further investigation andpotential repairs include open cracks, offsets, deflection/flat

43、tening (refer to applicable product piping standard forlimits), voids, missing pieces, infiltration and heavy corrosion.Pipes determined to be structurally challenged by the engineermust be suitably repaired or rehabilitated in order to remaincandidates for optical fiber system installation.6.3.3.3
