About this document
An EPIC installation is earthworks, not irrigation, and whether it works is decided by how the basin is built. The Installation Sequence is the site book for that work: a visual manual in which every stage is photographed and drawn as well as described.
Every stage page follows the same order: a photograph of the work being done, the numbered actions the gang carries out, an acceptance panel for the engineer to sign and, where a stage has a characteristic failure, a warning panel. A bar at the foot of each page names the plant, the gang and the record for that stage.
The manual is read with Volume 2 of the Technical Series, Construction Specification & Method, and supersedes all earlier EPIC installation sequence and procedure documents. It sets out the contract position on site: installation by an EPIC-trained approved contractor, with an EPIC Construction Engineer attending the defined observation points.
It runs to 60 pages in seven parts: what is being built, the sequence itself with its common failures and manufacturer observation points, how the finished profile works, variations, water flow and control, commissioning and handover, and the installed record. A reference section closes the manual with a quantities basis and the terms it uses.
