SCOPE
Quality: The heavy duty Portable Pipeline supplied under this specification is a premium quality, extruded through the weave product
designed primarily for Sewer line, Recycled-Reclaimed/Wastewater or Emergency Dewatering applications. All materials used in the
fabrication of the hose shall be of the best quality commercially available. All products shall have at least a 2 to 1 safety ratio of working
pressure to burst, which will insure safety and reliability when using the products in maintenance or emergency operations. The product
shall be Green as per APWA color coding standards for sewerage.
Service Life: The hose furnished under the terms of this proposal shall have a potential service life of at least 10 years, barring
mistreatment or accidental damage that would render the portable pipeline unfit for service. Upon delivery, the hose shall be in first-class
condition, and have a warranty for one year against defects in workmanship and materials. The supplier shall provide replacement as
necessary without any charge whatsoever to the Utility Department.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Quality Assurance: The manufacturer must be committed to a Total Quality Management program designed to meet ISO International
Standard 9002 (1987 E). Quality Management procedures shall regulate all critical areas in the manufacturing process including: twisting,
weaving of jackets, extruding of linings, vulcanizing, coupling, testing of hose and physical – laboratory testing of all raw materials and

and technology (NIST). No exceptions are to be allowed.
Manufacturing: The portable pipeline shall be manufactured using a through-the-weave extrusion process. A totally synthetic woven
