GENERAL INFORMATION

10
 Section -2: General Information – The Republic of Mali

Mali lies mostly between latitudes 9° and 15°N (a small area is north of 15°), and longitudes
6°W and 3°E.
It is made up of two major types of countryside. The larger part of the country is covered by a
peneplain, which forms a gently undulating landscape with, in some areas, a few isolated hills,
the last vestiges of a Precambrian massif. The southwest of the country, on the other hand,
forms a sandstone massif, where the highest peak, Ténakourou, is found at an elevation of 749
meters (2,457 ft). The massif is bordered by sheer cliffs up to 150 m (492 ft) high. The average
altitude of Mali is 400 m (1,312 ft) and the difference between the highest and lowest terrain
is no greater than 600 m (1,969 ft). Mali is therefore a relatively flat country.
The country owes its former name of Upper Volta to three rivers which cross it: the Black
Volta (or Mouhoun), the White Volta (Nakambé) and the Red Volta (Nazinon). The Black
Volta is one of the country's only two rivers which flow year-round, the other being the Komoé,
which flows to the southwest. The basin of the Niger River also drains 27% of the country's
surface.
The Niger's tributaries – the Béli, Gorouol, Goudébo, and Dargol – are seasonal streams and
flow for only four to six months a year. They still can flood and overflow, however. The
country also contains numerous lakes – the principal ones are Tingrela, Bam, and Dem. The
country contains large ponds, as well, such as Oursi, Béli, Yomboli, and Markoye. Water
shortages are often a problem, especially in the north of the country.
Savannah near the Gbomblora Department, on the road from Gaoua to Batié
Administrative divisions
Main articles: Regions of Mali, Provinces of Mali, and Departments of Mali
The country is divided into 13 administrative regions. These regions encompass 45 provinces
and 301 departments. Each region is administered by a governor.
Water
The Grand marché in Koudougou, Mali
While services remain underdeveloped, the National Office for Water and Sanitation (ONEA),
a state-owned utility company run along commercial lines, is emerging as one of the best-
performing utility companies in Africa.[110] High levels of autonomy and a skilled and
dedicated management have driven ONEA's ability to improve production of and access to
clean water.
Since 2000, nearly 2 million more people have access to water in the four principal urban
centres in the country; the company has kept the quality of infrastructure high (less than 18%
of the water is lost through leaks one of the lowest in sub-Saharan Africa), improved financial
reporting, and increased its annual revenue by an average of 12% (well above inflation).
Challenges remain, including difficulties among some customers in paying for services, with
the need to rely on international aid to expand its infrastructure. The state-owned,
commercially run venture has helped the nation reach its Millennium Development Goal
(MDG) targets in water-related areas, and has grown as a viable company.
However, access to drinking water has improved over the last 28 years. According to UNICEF,
access to drinking water has increased from 39 to 76% in rural areas between 1990 and 2015.
In this same time span, access to drinking water increased from 75 to 97% in urban areas
Climate
Mali has a primarily tropical climate with two very distinct seasons. In the rainy season, the
country receives between 60 and 90 cm (23.6 and 35.4 in) of rainfall; in the dry season, the
harmattan – a hot dry wind from the Sahara – blows. The rainy season lasts approximately four
months, May/June through September, and is shorter in the north of the country. Three climatic

11
zones can be defined: the Sahel, the Sudan-Sahel, and the Sudan-Guinea. The Sahel in the
north typically receives less than 60 cm (23.6 in)[74] of rainfall per year and has high
temperatures, 5–47 °C (41–117 °F).
A relatively dry tropical savanna, the Sahel extends beyond the borders of Mali, from the Horn
of Africa to the Atlantic Ocean, and borders the Sahara to its north and the fertile region of the
Sudan to the south. Situated between 11°3' and 13°5' north latitude, the Sudan-Sahel region is
a transitional zone with regards to rainfall and temperature. Further to the south, the Sudan-
Guinea zone receives more than 90 cm (35.4 in)[74] of rain each year and has cooler average
temperatures.
Natural resources
Mali's natural resources include gold, manganese, limestone, marble, phosphates, pumice, and
salt.
Wildlife and the environment
Mali has a larger number of elephants than many countries in West Africa. Lions, leopards
and buffalo can also be found here, including the dwarf or red buffalo, a smaller reddish-brown
animal which looks like a fierce kind of short-legged cow. Other large predators live in Mali,
such as the cheetah, the caracal or African lynx, the spotted hyena and the African wild dog,
one of the continent's most endangered species.[75]
Mali's fauna and flora are protected in four national parks:
• The W National Park in the east which passes Mali, Benin, and Niger
• The Arly Wildlife Reserve (Arly National Park in the east)
• The Léraba-Comoé Classified Forest and Partial Reserve of Wildlife in the west
• The Mare aux Hippopotames in the west

3. Description of Work:

This is the works under the Saudi Program of Drilling of Wells and Rural Development in
Africa, Phase V in the Mali. The intention of the programs multiple goals of which:
• To raise the standard of living of the rural population by long-term provision of a safe
drinking water supply.

• To improve the water supply situation in rural areas to benefit as many people as
possible and provide a basis for gradual development.

85
• To provide hygienically safe drinking water.

• To train local communities to operate and maintain the water points for a long term
benefit.

• To help alleviate unemployment by giving job opportunities to local people.

• To spread the goodwill of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia towards the poor communities
in Africa.

• The work in this project is to Construction of about (110) drilled-wells (water

Boreholes) equipped with solar pumping system, elevated water tanks, 30 water distribution
Network System (with a various piping diameters), concrete posts each Two taps and one
meter.

HYDROGEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK AND BOREHOLES DEPTH

The geological framework is generally known with regard to the different intervention regions
(KOULIKORO, SIKASSO, SEGOU and MOPTI).

For all boreholes (F1 and high flow), the layout will give indications of the drilling depths.

The weathering thickness is generally between 34 and 45 meters and can often reach 60m. The
estimated average depth of the boreholes will be about 80 meters and will exceptionally exceed
100 meters for type F1 boreholes and 150m for high flow rate boreholes.

The consulting engineer in charge of works control will ensure that the required minimum flow
is reached while seeking the best flow and will ensure that the drilling is properly equipped.

Decisions on stopping drilling rest with the consulting engineer although the company has set
up the drilling.

In any case and whatever the geological conditions, the Contractor undertakes to carry out the
drilling leading to obtaining clear water with the required flow rate (0.7 m3 / h at least for the
boreholes of type F1 and at least 5 m3 / h for high flow boreholes).

3-1 DRILLING WORKS

Mode of boreholes execution

The drilling will be carried out by a workshop using the rotary process operating with air,
water, foam or mud, specially adapted to the use of the down-the-hole hammer, equipped with

86
a casing device in advance. or allowing the use of temporary PVC or steel working casing.
Unless an exemption has been granted by the control, the drilling of the base with a down-hole
hammer cannot be done before the installation of a temporary working casing in line with the
alteration formations, and correctly anchored in the base.
Crossing unconsolidated levels may require foam injection or the use of mud. The products
used in these cases will be of a composition suitable for not clogging the productive layers and
must be self-biodegradable.
1. The choice of methods and materials to be used as well as of the exact drilling diameters
will be at the initiative of the Contractor and under his sole responsibility. However, it is
specified that the following instructions must be observed: Obtaining at least 5 m3 / h,
and at least 8" for the diameter of the borehole.

Operating mode
The operating mode will generally look like this :
2. Drilling of clay or clay-sand formations up to the roof of the hard rock.
3. Installation of a PVC or steel work column.
4. Continue drilling in the consolidated rock using the down-the-hole hammer until the
required flow is obtained from aquifers accepted by the control. In the event of insufficient
flow when stopping drilling, the drilling is declared negative.
The conductivity of the water will be measured during the development phase of the
borehole. In the event that it is outside WHO standards, further operations are
suspended and the borehole will be considered unfit for consumption and closed. The
company is then paid for the service performed. If the test meets the standards, the
company will perform flow testing and water analysis. Whatever the result of the water
analysis, the company is paid but the borehole can be closed and not taken in acceptance
if the water is unfit for consumption.
5. Installation, in line with the water inlets, of a PVC collection column provided that the
borehole flow rate is greater than or equal to 5 m3 / h.
6. Installation of the filter bed.
7. Installation of a waterproof plug of expanding clay above the filter bed.
8. Fill the annular space above the plug with expanding clay.
9. Development of drilling.
10. Cementing at the top of the borehole.
11. Closing of the borehole using a padlocked metal cover.
12. Flow test and water analyzes on boreholes deemed to be exploitable.

Sampling
Whatever the drilling method used, the Contractor will take samples from all the formations
crossed. In particular, he will take a sample:
- at each meter;
- at each change of rock type;

87
 - at each fracture zone;
- at each water inlet.
Samples (200-300 g) will be stored in plastic bags. On each bag will be indicated the name
and serial number of the quarter, the number of the borehole, the depth of sampling. The
samples will be stored in compartmentalized wooden boxes, numbered and provided with a
card allowing proper identification. The crates will be made according to the instructions of
the Technical Project Manager. The crates will be transported and stored by the Contractor at
his expense at the headquarters of the Client or his representative.
The Contractor, with the support of the controller responsible for monitoring, will provide a
written and detailed geological description of the samples that make up the borehole section.
Measures during construction

The Contractor must communicate to the Technical Project Manager all the information
requested, in particular:
- the precise geological description of the layers crossed;
- the depths of the base, of the fractured zones, of the various water inlets;
- the water flow rates, at each change of rod, at each new significant water inlet and at the
end of drilling, before fitting;
- the conductivity of the water during drilling in order to abandon the drilling at this stage
if the conductivity is out of specification.
- the forward speeds for each rod..
At the end of the drilling, the Contractor will communicate to the Technical Project Manager
in written form in the workbook the total depth of the drilling, the depth of water inflows, as
well as the flow rate at the end of the drilling.
Measuring instruments
The Contractor will permanently maintain the appropriate measuring instruments on his sites
and will make them available to the Contracting Authority's agents so that they can carry out
the necessary checks at any time. Failure to do so, the Client will buy them at the expense of
the Contractor and the corresponding amount will be deducted from the sums due to him. The
Contractor must have all the tools necessary for the execution of the work in accordance with
the professional rules in accordance with the required equipment.The precision required for
the measurements will be:
- 10% for flow rates;
- 2 cm for the water levels;
- 5 cm for the depths.

Equipment of positive drillings

Les The boreholes deemed positive, that is to say with a flow rate at the end of the borehole
greater than or equal to 5 m3 /h, will be systematically and compulsorily cleaned for at least
15 minutes by blowing before the installation of the equipment. Positive boreholes will be
equipped upon decision of the control. The catchment plan will be defined after consultation

88
between the works controller and the Contractor's site manager, but the realization of the
catchment according to the rules of the art will be the responsibility of the Contractor.
- All collection equipment will be made of new materials and must be approved by the
control before its installation. The positive boreholes will be equipped over their entire
height with 150/165 mm full and strainer PVC tubes.
The base of the casing column will have a PVC settling tube and will be plugged with a foot
plug factory made of screwed PVC and cement. The height of the cap will not exceed 10 cm.
The collection column must be equipped with stainless steel centering devices installed around
the strainers every three meters to allow a good distribution of the filtering mass around the
strainers. To allow a good adaptation of the casing plan to the geological profile encountered,
the Contractor must have on the site elements of solid tubes and strained tubes of 1 m and 3
m. The quantities that are expected on average per drilling on the site are as follows :
- 3 elements of 1 m of solid tubes;
- 2 elements of 1 m of strainers;
- 2 elements of 3 m of solid tubes;
- 2 elements of 3 m of strainer tubes;
- and other solid or screened elements 3 m to 6 m in length.
PVC tubing stored on site must be properly protected from direct sunlight.
The annular space will be filled with rolled quartz gravel, up to 5 meters above the upper side
of the strainers. The use of lateritic gravel or crushed granite is prohibited. The granulometry
of the gravel will be adapted to the aquifer formations.
In crystalline fissured rocks, a 2-4 mm gravel filter bed will be used. In coarse arena weathering
formations and loose layers, 1-2 mm gravel will be used. The gravel of these two grain sizes
must be available in sufficient quantity on the site in order to avoid delays when equipping the
boreholes.
Directly above the filter bed, a dam made of expansive clay will be put in place to isolate the
captured part. The dam will be made of expanding clay pellets (dry montmorillonitic clay or
equivalent) to a height of 2 meters. The filling of the annular space located above the plug with
expansive clay will be carried out after the development of the borehole using raw coal sand-
clay materials.
The tolerance on the verticality of the tubes will be 0.5%. The PVC casing will exceed the
ground surface by one (01) meter and will be closed by a padlocked metal cover.
The lower part of a borehole could possibly be filled up to a certain depth indicated by the
control, before proceeding with the equipment. The filling will be done with the gravel of the
filter bed. A wait of at least thirty (30) minutes is mandatory before continuing the equipment.
Under these conditions, the entire drilled depth will be taken into account in the billing but the
filling will not be remunerated. As a general rule, the infill will not exceed 10 m.
Development of boreholes
The development of boreholes deemed positive will be carried out with an air lift by an
independent development unit or by the drilling workshop using an air injection column made
of galvanized or flexible pipes of diameter 1 "1 / 2. The water pipe will be formed by the PVC
of the borehole. Development by the drilling shop is not allowed.

89
Development will continue until clear water is obtained, free from sandy or clay particles. The
Contractor must control the sand content by the so-called "sand spot" method observed in a
10-liter bucket. The diameter of the sand spot should not exceed 1 cm. The minimum
development time is four (4) hours. In rare cases where the basis of the alterations has been
captured, the development time will be six (6) hours minimum. If after 6 hours of development,
the water does not manage to be clear, the development will be continued at the expense of the
Contractor until clear water is obtained.
The flow rate obtained at the start of development must not be less than 10% less than the flow
rate obtained at the end of drilling and must remain greater than or equal to 5 m3 / h. Flow
rates will be measured every 15 minutes for the duration of development. The water level and
the depth of the borehole must be measured before and after development. Only the controller
will decide whether to stop or continue development.
If execution faults appear during drilling or during its development, the continuation of
development operations beyond four (4) hours will be the responsibility of the Contractor. In
the event that this development does not result in obtaining clear water or if the flow rate is
more than 10% lower than that obtained at the end of drilling, all the work relating to this
structure will not be taken into account in the works cost statement. The Contractor shall be
required to take back the drilling equipment at its own expense, failing which a new drilling
will be carried out near the first.

The annular space of the borehole after development will be filled with raw coal, to a depth of
6 meters below the ground surface.

The first six (6) meters of the annular surface space will be cemented after the drilling has
developed in order to seal the annular space, prevent pollution by surface water and anchor the
column in the ground. The implementation of the cementation is left to the choice of the
Contractor. He could for example use a tube type "gas" descended into the annular space. The
slag for the cementation will consist of 50 l of water per 100 kg of cement.

Pumping tests

Development will be done as described above

On these boreholes, it will be carried out after development, stage tests and long-term tests.

These pumping tests will be carried out by means of submerged electric pumps of diameter
adapted to the diameter of the equipment casing, able to give a flow rate of 12 m3 / h for a
total manometric head (HMT) of 80 meters.

They will take place as follows:

90
Pumping at a constant rate (this rate will be calculated according to the interpretation of the
pumping data in stages) for 72 hours. The long-term pumping will be followed by an ascent
which will be observed for 24 hours.

During pumping, no stoppage must take place, otherwise the Contractor will restart the test
after reestablishing the initial static level. The resumption of such pumping is the responsibility
of the Contractor and the irregularity of the pumping test must be noted in the site book and
communicated to the Client.

The flow rate will be measured from a water meter, and a 100-liter gauged tank. The water
levels will be measured by means of an electric probe. The depth of the borehole will be
measured before and after each pumping test. The Contractor will have an emergency electrical
probe in reserve on the site.

The flow rate and dynamic level measurement intervals will be given to the Contractor in good
time by the delegated Project Manager.
The rhythm of the pumping or ascent measurements will be as follows :

Duration from Level or drawdown Flow control /

start of pumping measurements adjustment
Every 2 minute
0 to 10 mn Every minute
Every 2 minutes Every 5 minutes
10 to 20 mn
Every 5 minutes Every 5 minutes
20 to 40 mn
Every 10 minutes Every 10 minutes
40 to 1h30
Every 15 minutes Every 15 minutes
1h30 to 3h
Every 30 minutes Every 30 minutes
3 h to 5 h
Every hour Every hour
5 h to 8h
Every 2 hours Every 2 hours
More than 8h

Water analysis
At the end of the test, the Contractor will take at least two water samples, of 1 liter each. The
type of sample bottle will be approved by the Technical Project Manager. On each of the two
samples will be written the name of the village with its number (Provided by the Client), the
borehole number, the time and date of sampling and the name of the person responsible for
sampling. The bottles will be hermetically sealed.

Samples from each borehole will be handed over for physico-chemical and bacteriological
analysis to an approved laboratory. The samples will be transported by the Contractor's care
and at his expense and the bottles placed in suitable crates for transport. The taking of the
samples, the storage of the samples and the determination of the maximum delay before their
91
reception at the laboratory will be described by the laboratory. The samples will be analyzed
in the laboratory to determine the concentration of the following parameters:

Cations Anions Other parameters

Sodium Na Chlorides Cl pH

Iron (total) Fe Sulphates SO4 Conductivity

Magnesium Mg Carbonates CO3 Temp. °C

Manganese Mn Phosphate PO4 Odor

Calcium Ca Fluorine F Taste

Potassium K Nitrates NO3 Color UCV

Salinity Mg/l Nitrites NO2 Dissolved solids (105 o

C)

Turbidity NTU Bicarbonates HCO3 Arsenic (As)

Ammonium NH4 Zinc Zn

The arsenic content will be the subject of a specific analysis in accordance with the
quantities of the estimate and the unit price schedule.

The entrepreneur must take into account the indications described above when drawing up his
financial offer.
The company will also do the bacteriological analysis in an approved laboratory.
To avoid any risk of deterioration, the structures will be closed immediately after the pumping
test operations by a padlocked metal cover. The Contractor will be solely responsible for any
damage to structures due to a lack of protection during the period from the end of the pumping
test.

3-2 WORKS OF WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS

SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF WATER TANKS

Characteristics
a) General

92
 The towers will be metallic (steel type E24 / 1 or equivalent, or galvanized, or stainless
steel), cylindrical in shape and based on three (03) feet. For the capacities and height under
raft of the water towers, refer to the framework of the estimate.

The tank can be made up of welded or bolted galvanized steel elements:

− A water level indicator will be placed at the level of the tank and readable from the
ground;
− The metal profiles used in the construction of works, will be offered for the approval of
the contracting authority;

b) Surface and paints treatments

− Corrosion of any part of the structure will not be allowed. All metal parts in contact with
water will be protected against corrosion. Protective layers that come into contact with
potable water must be approved for this purpose and a certificate of suitability from an
authorized institute in the country of manufacture must be provided.
− The tank will be perfectly sealed and coated inside with a food grade coating. The tank
will be sealed by applying a plastic film or any other sealant deemed satisfactory.
− It is still forbidden to apply paint or other protective coats in wet conditions. Each coat
should dry 24 hours before applying the next coat unless the manufacturer indicates
otherwise.
− The parts of the installation that are to be sealed in concrete will be properly cleaned and
protected with an approved method of assembly.

c) Surface treatments and paints applicable to type E24 / 1 steels or equivalent

− Pour To ensure the protection of these types of steel against oxidation, it is necessary to
carry out first a surface treatment (shot or acid pickling), then to apply a protection
carried out either by paints (glycerophthalic, vinylic, with rubber, bituminous, epoxy,
polyurethanes, etc.) or by metallic coatings (galvanization, metallization,
sherardization, chromatization).
− Where the tank is not sealed with a waterproof film, surfaces which have received a
protective coating prior to final assembly will be protected during handling, storage,
assembly, transport or installation.
− Shiny surfaces, running surfaces, etc. should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a
coat of rust inhibitor or grease with a high melting point, before assembly of the
components. The contractor will take care to remove this protective layer before
commissioning the installation.
− All non-ferruginous surfaces will be protected from corrosion by an approved grease.
Separate items will be wrapped with provision for sanding prior to installation with
"water proof" paper. Be careful with galvanic corrosion caused by contact between two
elements of a different metal. The two elements should be separated using an insulating
metal.
− The exterior protection (posts, tank, ladders) will be done without sandblasting, with a
layer of epoxy chromate paint and a finishing layer in aluminum type Shell or similar
unless galvanized steel.

93
d) Soudures et Welds and sealing

− If the water tower tank is made of welded steel, the welding will be done in accordance
with all the standards in force and with the greatest care. The weld of the tank must
ensure that it is watertight
− The welded surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned before starting the welding work. In the
case of multi-layer welding, the surfaces should be cleaned well after each coat before
continuing with the next coat.
− All welded joints must show a uniform cross-section, a smooth, non-priority surface and
an absence of wrapping. Visual inspection should show good fusion with the base
metals.
− The tank will be perfectly sealed and its interior wall or the lining thereof will be food
grade. The materials, products and coatings used must not be a source of toxicity to the
stored water.

e) Bolting and sealing

− All bolts and nuts used for assembling the tanks and structures will be galvanized steel
or stainless steel.

− In the case of a bolted tank, the seal will be ensured by a waterproof film of the liner type
or equivalent.

f) Piping and accessories

− The piping will be in galvanized steel with threaded parts. The water tower will be
equipped:
✓ delivery pipe inside or outside the tank and allowing the water to fall
(oxygenation) when filling the tank;

✓ distribution pipe comprising at the upper part inside the tank, a strainer
whose opening will be at most 20 cm from the raft, and along the down pipe;
✓ a by-pass that will connect the discharge line and the distribution line,
equipped with a gate valve and a non-return valve;
✓ overflow and drain pipes connected to each other below the raft and draining
excess water through a horizontal part onto a concrete area located at least
20 m from the tower;
✓ ventilation chimney with anti-mosquito net;
✓ a water level indicator in the tank, readable from the ground.

For all supply, distribution, emptying and overflow pipes, a stabilization device must be
provided, taking into account the height under the raft of at least 10 meters.

94
 − Access to the manhole can be made using a metal ladder fitted with a crinoline-type
guardrail. An access system inside the tank will be provided by a stainless steel
ladder without a crinoline. Any other form of access will be offered at the discretion
of the Project Manager.

g) Foundations, plans and calculation notes

− The foundations of the reservoir will be in reinforced concrete, either in individual

footings or in general raft, dosed at 350 kg of CPA 45 cement per m3.
− In the case of isolated footings, a paving will be poured over the entire surface of
the footing. The dimensions of the foundations will depend on the results of the soil
tests which must be carried out by the Contractor.
− The assembly will be designed to withstand wind speeds of 140 km / h. The tenderer
will present the execution plans for the foundations, formwork, reinforcement,
various sections and legs accompanied by a detailed calculation note.
− The working drawings (plans, sections, formwork plans, reinforcement, etc.) must
be produced by the Contractor. The calculation rules will be those of BAEL-90 or
higher version. The components machined especially for the project will be
completely in accordance with the plans provided by the tenderer to allow the
installation of the replacement components without difficulty.

Regulation of the water level in the water tower

The water tower will be equipped with a float valve which will close when the high water level
in the castle is reached. This will cause an overpressure on the network, which will be detected
by a pressure switch placed in the well collection manhole which will then transmit the
information to the control box which will stop the pump in operation.

SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF PIPES AND ACCESSORIES

Arrangement of the drilling head
The contractor will set up the head of the borehole, including the supply and installation of all
hydraulic accessories and pipes, from the gooseneck to the start of the discharge line.

The pipes of the drilling head will be either cast iron or galvanized steel, of suitable diameter,
taking into account the drilling equipment of the borehole and the discharge pipe.
These works include:

95
 - Supply and installation of a steel tube with a minimum diameter of 200 mm and fully
protected against corrosion;
- Installation of a reinforced concrete block dosed at 350 kg of cement / m3;
- Installation of a closing cover and mounting system for the riser;
- Supply and installation of elbow, fitting and pipe;
- Supply and installation of a cast iron check valve including mounting accessories adapted
to the diameter;
- Supply and installation of a suction cup;
- Supply and installation of a DN 50 meter including mounting accessories adapted to the
diameter. The installation will be done in accordance with the straight lengths upstream
and downstream meter, indicated by the manufacturer;
- Supply and installation of a pressure switch;
- Installation of supports with collar;
- Construction of the drill head manhole, including the metal cover;
- etc. (refer to the drawing of the catchment structure)
NB: The plate at the head of the borehole must be equipped with an opening and a ¾ " pipe
with a plug allowing the passage of an electric probe for measurements of the water level in
the borehole.
- Supply and installation of pipes

The discharge line

Variable in length and diameter depending on the site, it starts from the borehole to reach the
water tower. For the above-ground part, the pipe will be made of galvanized steel and of
equivalent standard diameter :
For the diameters and nominal pressure of the various pipes, comply with the validated
execution file.

For the length of the discharge line pipes, comply with the validated execution file.

The distribution line

Its nominal diameter varies between 63 to 125 mm.

Pipes storage

96
PVC pipes will be stored on a level area, free of any hard objects and must be protected from
direct sunlight. The Administration reserves the right to refuse the use of any pipe it deems
defective.

Pipe laying

a) Execution of earthworks for pipelines

The excavations will be carried out preferably by hand or by mechanical means. The explosive
will only be used in case of absolute necessity and after authorization from the Client.

Excavations will be carried out at each point in accordance with the project dimensions
indicated on the longitudinal profiles. Unless otherwise indicated in this document, the normal
excavation depth is such that the thickness of the backfill is not less than 0.80 m above the
upper generatrix of the pipe.

In the case of crossings of important tracks and roads the indicated depths could increase. The
trenches will have to deepen regularly as they approach these crossings.

The minimum width will be equal to 0.40 m. The bottom of the excavation will be carefully
leveled and purged of any hard material, and niches will be dug at the junctions to allow the
pipes to rest along their entire length. The over-depths will be carried out according to the
plans without giving rise to the right to a gain.

The Contractor must make himself aware of the nature of the land. Price increases caused by
hard terrain will not be granted. Only increases due to the use of jackhammers will be granted.

The minimum slopes and the minimum overlap depending on specific cases will be subject to
the approval of the Consulting Engineer.

The Consulting Engineer will take delivery of the completed trench. This reception will mainly
focus on the longitudinal profile of the bottom of the trench. The Contractor must therefore
always notify the Consulting Engineer after the completion of the trench and before any
commencement of the laying of the pipes.

b) Handling and installation of pipes

The Contractor will take all necessary measures to ensure that the transport and handling of
the pipes and their accessories do not cause deformation, destruction of the protective coating,
or cracks. The Consulting Engineer may prescribe measures in the event of failure on the part
of the Contractor. Damaged areas will be repaired according to the advice of the Consulting
Engineer.

97
c) Laying of buried pipes

The pipes will be laid in the excavations on a layer of 0.10 m of fine sand. The flexibility of
the pipes makes it possible, under certain conditions, to make curves with large radii without
the use of fittings.

The curve must be made between the joints, therefore no deviation to the right of the joints
inside the sockets is allowed.

The pipes will be laid in accordance with any specific instructions given by the manufacturer,
in addition to concerns about exposure to sunlight and expansion.

The pipes will be held in place by sand jumpers leaving the joints visible.

After the pressure test, a sand backfill is placed up to 0.15 m above the upper generator and
carefully tamped, after laying an identification screen, the rest of the trench is backfilled with
raw coal material, coming from the excavation itself, well compacted. The various parts or
fittings giving rise to changes of direction are wedged by lean concrete stops dosed at 250 kg
/ m3.

Elbows, tubing pieces, gate valves and all the devices inserted in the pipes and likely to give
rise to forces on the ground will be counterbrained, without giving rise to the right to an added
value, by concrete blocks whose calculation will be subject to the approval of the Consulting
Engineer.

The Contractor will keep the pipes on the site protected from the sun. At each work stoppage,
the ends of the pipes being laid will be blocked with a buffer to prevent the introduction of
foreign bodies or animals.

The Contractor cannot start the backfill without the permission of the Engineer.

d) Laying of pipes in elevation

The non-buried pipes are made of galvanized steel.

The installation of pipes, fittings and valves in elevation along masonry or concrete walls is
carried out by means of clamps fitted with tabs which will be sealed in the wall.

98
The collars must allow the removal of the part they are holding without having to loosen it.

When the pipes are placed on a floor or above the ground, they rest on small masonry cleats
which keep them elevated from the ground.

b) Backfilling

In principle, the materials extracted from the trenches are reused for backfilling. The top face
of the backfill must be leveled with great care to avoid water stagnation. After completion of
backfilling, excess material will be promptly removed to landfill at the Contractor's expense.

If the pavement of a roadway must be cut to cross the road, the top face of the backfill should
be paved with the same material as the original pavement. The Contractor will be responsible
in the event of an accident caused by poor maintenance of the backfill of the trenches during
the execution of the works.

The pipe being placed on the laying bed, its sides will be lined up to the level of the horizontal
axial plane. The coating of the lower part of the pipes and fittings will be carried out by pushing
the backfill under the pipe and its sides with a shovel.

The coating material must contain less than 12% of elements smaller than 0.1mm and must
not include elements with a diameter greater than 30mm. A warning screen must be installed
above the pipe.

Backfilling is done in successive layers of 0.10 m up to 0.20 m above the pipeline and then in
layers of 0.20 m, compacted one after the other using the excavation of the trench under
conditions that it be redacted from stones (element <100mm). Compaction should be better
than 95% of normal proctor.

After backfilling, the contractor will have concrete bollards along the entire route of the pipes
as a benchmark. These will be arranged especially to the right of changes of direction and
doubled to the right of the gate valves.

Installation of special parts: (Gate valves, suction cups, drains)

a)Tap – Valves

The gate valves will be quarter (1/4) turn in chrome-plated brass or cast iron, with a diameter
corresponding to the pipe on which they will be placed.

All buried gate valves will be placed in keyed mouths including a keyed mouth head, an
extension PVC tube, a tabernacle. The assembly will be operated by a crutch wrench.

b) Suction cups

99
The suction cups will be placed in a manhole.

The suction cups will be made of cast iron and their float will have an elastomeric overmolded
steel core

c) Drains

The pipes will be equipped with a gate valve placed at the low point of the network and placed
in a manhole as shown in the diagram. These changes will purge the network.

CONSTRUCTION OF TAP POST

Public drinking fountains

They constitute the main service points of the network. The public drinking fountains consist
of a rectangular paving in the center of which there is a construction serving as a seat
supporting 3 draw-off taps. A sump located about 6 m away will collect the water lost by a
gutter inside which rubble stones will have been placed.

The rubble must be hard, insensitive to water, sound, non-scalable, non-freezing and non-
friable, having the highest possible density (minimum 2.20 t / m3).

This material must be clean, have a homogeneous shape in its three (3) dimensions and be
made of quality stones.

The particle size will be between 100 mm and 250 mm, excessively large elements being to
be avoided.

The public drinking fountain equipment will include galvanized steel pipes DN 1'', 1''3/4 with
elbows, reduction pieces and T-pieces, 1'' valve connections, 1'' 1/2 meter, 1'' 1/4 taps, full
support valve and all constraints.

The manholes

All buried gate valves will be placed in keyed mouths comprising a keyed valve head, an
extension PVC tube. The whole will be operated by a crutch wrench.

All emptying and suction cups will be placed in the manholes, carried out according to the
plans provided. The manholes will be closed by prefabricated reinforced concrete slabs.

The various parts or fittings giving rise to changes of direction and tees will be wedged by lean
concrete stops dosed at 250 kg / m3. The stops must leave the joints accessible.

The contractor must build watertight reinforced concrete (or masonry) manholes on the drain,
air purge and valve devices.

He must first submit standard plans to the Consulting Engineer before they are made.
