Water Distribution Operator II
Pipeline projects can be small jobs requiring only a few sticks of pipe. Or, they can be extensive jobs covering several miles or more. Regardless of the size of the job, it is important to properly plan. Preparing the pipe at the job site is an important aspect of
job preparation. The pipe should be placed as close to the trench as possible. This makes it easier for the
pipe to be accessed and placed into the trench. String the pipe on the opposite side of the trench as the dirt (spoils) that is being excavated and should be located away from traffic and heavy equipment. The bells should be located in the direction of installation
and only enough pipe should be laid out for a days work. It is also important that the pipe is protected from rolling into the trench or away from the job site.
