The completed pipe line shall not be left exposed in the trench unnecessarily and the Contractor will be required to backfill and compact the trench as soon as possible after jointing and laying is completed. The Contractor shall keep exposed ends of pipe properly plugged during laying to prevent dirt and other materials entering the line. Each day at the close of work, and at all times when laying is not in progress the exposed end of the pipe line in the trench shall be closed by the use of an approved header or barrier of wood or metals. If at any time it becomes necessary to cover the ends of an uncompleted pipe line with backfill, the end of such pipe line shall be closed, using a header with mechanical joint plug.
