that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied
needs.

Coordinate Making
Mark coordinates, grid
lines, opening and
element dimensions,
on the screed concrete
before starting fixing
of rebars as per IFC.
Rebar Works
Ensure rebars are fixed
as per Bar Bending
Schedule or shop
drawing with proper
cover, extra bars as per
general reinforcement
drawings,
Rebar Works
Use proper supporting
system to support
vertical rebars in place
Proper platforms shall
be used for fixing of
reinforcement
Formwork
Formwork shall be
fabricated
as
per
approved
formwork
details
with
all
accessories fixed in
position
as
per
manufacturer
recommendations
Formwork
Formwork
Apply uniformly approved
Form releasing agent to
shutter before fixing in
position
Formwork
Tie rods must be provided exactly in same number and
position as per manufacture recommendations
Cones and sleeves used in tie rod are be sealed perfectly with
masking taps as this is most vulnerable for leakage.
Formwork
Formwork
All Joints are to be
properly sealed with foam
sheet to prevent any gout
loss
Formwork
Adequate support shall
be provided to support
the formwork in position
and avoid bulging
Formwork
After
completion
of
shuttering in all respects
formwork should be
checked for alignment
plumb, dimension, cover
and inserts if any.
Formwork
Proper scaffoldings and
platforms
shall
be
provided to place the
concrete, so that no
workers will use the form
work as platform for
concreting
Formwork
Construction activities are to be inspected by QC Engineer
during execution and suggest for any corrections
Concreting Activities
Clean the area ready for
concrete prior to concrete
by air jet and ensure area
is clean and dry before
concrete
Concreting Activities
o Ensure adequate equipment like viberator trowels screeds
etc., are available before starting concrete activities .
o Only trained Forman and works should be engaged for
concrete operations.
o Sufficient number of carpenters must be available for
checking and tightening the tie rods.
o Ensure adequate curing facilities are available before
starting concrete.
Concreting Activities
Concreting Activities
Concreting Activities
o Ensure concrete is done from height of 1.5 m. grater height may
lead to honeycomb and segregation.
o Concrete must be done in layers in not more than 600mm in
height.
o Either sides of the opening shall be equally filled and vibrated to
prevent dislocation of formwork at openings.
o Correct concrete slump must be ensured to prevent
honeycombing and segregation.
o excessive vibration will lead to bleeding of concrete and disturb
the stability of form work to greater extent.
Concreting Activities
Concreting Activities
Concreting Activities
o The carpenters must be slightly hammering the forms with rubber
mallets during concrete to obtain a smooth surface.
o The concrete pour rate must not exceed the formwork design
criteria
o Any addition of water in concrete transit mixer for workability
should be strictly restrained. Such act shall lead to segregation of
concrete and result in excessive honeycombs
o For the areas where reinforcement congestion is encountered it is
recommended to use self-compacting concrete rather than
vibrating the normal concrete excessively
Responsibilities
QA/QC Engineer
o Check work under execution from time to time for any
corrective measures that may be required to avoid reworks.
Responsibilities
Construction Manager
o Arrange material and man power for execution of works without
any hindrance
o Provide toolbox talks to all concerned persons to make them
familiar with the sequences of activities to complete the work in
safe & proper way with optimum utilization of resources.
o Address all comments made by QC Engineer in preliminary
inspection prior to consultants inspection.
o shall be thorough in all the IFC Drawings, shop drawings, Method
statement and normal construction practices etc.,
Responsibilities
Project Manager
o Take corrective action immediately after receipt of internal
NCR.
