composing a manifold for hydraulic distribution or have an integrated bulkhead to resist
loading at the end/start of the barrel, end cap sections shall not be permitted.
2.6 Material selected shall be flame resistant and capable of retaining 80% of strength when
subjected to a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour.
2.7 All fittings shall be manufactured prior to arriving on the jobsite to ensure structural integrity.
Fitting reinforcement shall be in accordance with ASTM A998 and reinforcing details.
Bulkhead design and fabrication does not vary with differing coatings on the steel
components.
2.8 The manufacturer of the CMP System shall be one that has regularly been engaged in the
engineering design and production of these systems for at least fifteen (15) years and which
has a history of successful production, acceptable to the EOR. In accordance with the
Drawings, the CMP System shall be supplied by:
Contech Engineered Solutions
9025 Centre Pointe Drive
West Chester, OH, 45069
Tel: 1800 338 1122
2.9 Sampling, testing, and inspection of metal sheets and coils used for manufacturing the CMP
System shall be in accordance with to the above applicable referenced specifications. All
fabrication of the product shall occur within the United States.
3.0 PERFORMANCE
3.1 The CMP System proposal shall be sized in accordance to the design provided and approved
by the Engineer of Record (EOR). Any Contractor deviating from the design shown on the
plans, to include: material, footprint, etc., shall provide to the FOR a summary report on
stage -storage curves, design calculations, HydroCAD modeling and engineering drawings.
3.2 The CMP System shall comprise of manhole access with minimum dimensions of 24 inches
diameter to provide adequate inspection and maintenance without restrictions and
obstructions to entry into interior of the CMP System. Manholes shall be provided to allow
full entry into and visual inspection of the complete CMP System, at a minimum as to allow
full maintenance of the CMP System. Cleanouts or inspection ports are not acceptable access
points for maintenance and inspection nor are any other alternatives which do not allow for
full entry into the system.
3.3 CMP spacing, gage (thickness) and stone base thickness can be altered with consultation from
Contech Engineered Solutions, LLC.
3.4 The CMP System shall be designed for a minimum HS-20/HS-25 final live loading conditions.
The CMP System shall meet HS-20/HS-25 loading requirements with a minimum of 12-inches
of cover to bottom of flexible pavement for pipe spans less than or equal to 96 inches and 18
inches of cover to bottom of flexible pavement for pipe spans greater than 96 inches.
3.5 The CMP System shall be designed so as the hydraulic grade line will increase evenly
throughout whereas transverse movement from one storage compartment to another shall
not be permitted. All storage compartments shall be connected via manifold (or connecting
pipe) versus by transporting stormwater through stone.
3.6 A stormwater pretreatment device is recommended upstream of the CMP system as follows:
3.6.1 Infiltration: Where feasible, the selected stormwater treatment device upstream
of an infiltration system shall be a filter system and have General Use Level
Designation (GULD) for Basic Treatment by the Washington State Department of
Ecology or demonstrate equivalent performance in independently verified field
testing following a peer reviewed testing protocol, and must be sized consistent
with the system producing those results.
3.6.2 Detention: Where feasible, the selected Stormwater treatment device upstream
of a detention system shall be a separator system and have GULD for
Pretreatment by the WADOE or demonstrate equivalent performance in
independently verified field testing following a peer reviewed testing protocol,
and must be sized consistent with the system producing those results.
3.6.3 Selected pretreatment stormwater device shall incorporate a physical barrier
capable of capturing and retaining trash and debris (i.e.: floatable and neutrally
buoyant materials) for all flows up to the treatment capacity of the device.
3.6.4 The application of wrapping a system with geotextile of any branding or material
type, that allows the passage of stormwater, shall not be regarded as an
acceptable treatment or pretreatment device.
3.6.5 The manufacturer of the selected Stormwater treatment device shall have been
regularly engaged in the engineering design and production of systems for the
physical treatment of Stormwater runoff for 15 years.
3.6.6 In order to not restrict the Owner's ability to maintain the stormwater
pretreatment device, the minimum dimension providing access from the ground
surface to the sump chamber shall be 20 inches in diameter.
4.0 EXECUTION
4.1 The CMP System installation shall be in accordance with AASHTO Standard Specifications for
Highways Bridges, Section 26, Division II or ASTM A798 and in conformance with the project
plans and specifications.
4.2 The CMP System shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations
and related sections of the contract documents. Handling & assembly shall be in accordance
with National Corrugated Steel Pipe Association's (NCSPA) recommendations.
4.3 For temporary construction vehicle loads, an extra amount of compacted cover may be
required overthe top of the pipe. The Height -of -Cover shall meetthe minimum requirements
shown in the table below. The use of heavy construction equipment necessitates greater
protection for the pipe than finished grade cover minimums for normal highway traffic.
