Schedule 3:

SCHEDULE 4

EXCAVATION PROCEDURE FOR EXPOSING

A PIPELINE THAT IS MORE THAN

1.5 METRES BELOW THE SURFACE

OF THE GROUND (SECTION 22)

Steps:

1. Using electronic or other depth location devices, determine the

location, alignment and approximate depth of cover of the pipeline to be

exposed. A minimum of 3 readings spaced a minimum of 3 m apart must be

taken and the alignment marked.

2. Add 25 cm to the maximum depth recorded. This sum is labelled C on

Figures 1 and 2.

3. Using hand excavation, dig a trench of length 2C to a depth not

exceeding 1.5 m at right angles to the alignment marked in Step 1.

4. If no pipeline is found, dig a square of side 2C centred on the

hand-excavated trench, as shown in Figure 1, using mechanical excavation to

a depth of 0.5 m less than the trench depth.

5. Decrease the dimension of C by the depth of the mechanical excavation.

6. Repeat the procedure from Step 3, using a new value for C each time

until the pipeline is found.

7. If the pipeline is very deep, check the alignment and depth after the

2nd mechanical excavation and adjust C if necessary.

This procedure is based on the assumption that an electronic depth location

device gives a reasonably accurate alignment and depth of pipeline to be

exposed. The addition of 25 cm to the indicated depth is intended as a

precautionary measure to accommodate inaccuracy in depth and alignment.
