Pipe on succeeding tiers shall be alternated, spigot next to socket of the adjacent pipe. Wood 100 mm by 100 mm size shall be placed between each tier and chocks nailed at each end to prevent movement of the pipe. Each pipe size shall be stacked separately. Pipes should be handled with care to avoid damage to the surface and the ends, deformation or bending. Pipes shall not be dragged along the ground or the loading bed of a vehicle. Pipes shall be transported on flat bed vehicles/trailers. The bed shall be smooth and free from any sharp objects.

Cranes or chain pulley block or other suitable handling and lifting equipment shall be used for loading and un-loading of heavy pipes. Where using crane hooks at sockets and spigot ends hooks shall be broad and protected by rubber or similar material, in order to avoid damage to pipe ends and lining. Damage to lining must be repaired before pipe laying according to the instructions of the pipe manufacturer. Pipes shall not be thrown directly on the ground. When using mechanical handling equipment, it is necessary to employ sufficient personnel to carry out the operation efficiently with safety. The pipes should be lifted smoothly without any jerking motion and pipe movement should be controlled by the use of guide ropes in order to prevent damage caused by pipes bumping together or against surrounding objects. Rolling or dragging pipes along the ground or over other pipes already stacked shall be avoided too.
