ITEM 800-EXTERIOR PLUMBING WORKS

1.0 Scope of Work

DLL & Sons Company Asia Ltd., will be responsible for the delivery, bending, lifting
and installation of pipes and fittings necessary for the downspout of each Toll Plaza.

2.0 Construction Procedure

A. General Preparation Works

1. Conduct safety inspection at the work area prior to commencement of each

task.

2. Check all pipes and fittings to be used for joint are free from defects, dents
or deformities and are straight. Remove pipes and fittings with defects and
replace with acceptable materials.

3. Prepare tools and equipment required for pipe bending.

4. Remove foreign matter or dirt from inside of the pipe and fittings before fit
up.

5. Prepare necessary tools and equipment for welding activity.

6. For longer work breaks, place suitable stoppers (plug or cap) to prevent
debris, earth or water from entering pipe open ends.

7. Welding electrodes shall be stored and handled as per manufacturer’s

instructions.

8. Apply and obtain approved necessary work permit.

B. Pipe Bending Works

1. Fabricate the pipe bender assembly by obtaining the actual curvature of the
toll plaza post/column. Make a curve pattern initially, then fabricate the pipe
bender using this pattern. Be sure to reinforce every segment of the
assembly to withstand bending force

2. Insert the whole length of pipe (6m) in the assembly and start bending the
pipe either manually or by using hydraulic jack (hydraulic jack shall only be
an additional accessory of the pipe bender; it can be added or be removed)
(see Figure 1a & Figure 1b).

3. With proper coordination to DMCI personnel and the Toll Plaza building
subcontractor, tack weld the base of the clamp to the building structure. Be
sure to correctly position the clamp to line up according to the curvature of
the bend pipe and toll plaza column/post (see Figure 2).

4. Once properly placed, fully weld the base of the clamp support with the
building structure (see Figure 3).
