Good day, everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could please provide me with civil engineering references (in American standard) for pipe laying construction for wastewater.

I would like to get a head start on the construction process and its soil and material testing procedures.

It is not clear to me where to find the official standard references for need to compact bottom layer of trench excavation and the bedding below the PVC pipe . ( sorry for this elementary question )

Thank you for your time.

Pipe suppliers usually have good recommendations for construction. AWWA probably have some decent standard and specifications or guidelines as well, but you need to buy them.

C605 looks like the right one See this

Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
 
Many cities publish guides and standards that specify their installation and design requirements as well.
 
Thank you for this @HTURKAK,@LittleInch,and @AgMechEngr. I will look at all of your advices. .

Littleinch thankyou for the link this is a great help to start.
 
Agree with Ag, best to check the standards for the jurisdiction you are working in. Cities, Counties, and other agencies will often have Public Works Standards and Specifications or similar publications that dictate bedding and backfill requirements, pipe materials, and details for manholes, services, etc.
