PROJECT: KERB STONE RAISING

GENERAL

 The Contractor shall, before proceeding with the construction of kerbs rising, construct
concrete kerbs and channels along sides of road pavement to alignment as directed and
indicated on plans.
 The work shall be carried out accurately to the alignments, gradients and cross- sectional
profiles indicated on plans. as per sequence follow for raising.

CHIPPING FOR KERB TOP SURFACE

 Initially contractor shall mobilize one Hand breaker machine and 5 kv DG along with
Vehicle. Kerb top surface chipping with help of Hand breaker and every one feet
distance do the horizontal groove. Groove deep is 20 mm (width & depth).
 Purpose of Horizontal groove is proper bonding of existing and new concrete

EXCAVATION BESIDES EXISTING KERB.

 Contractor shall do excavation beside the kerb stone up to 150 mm, for providing proper
form work and good alignment.

FORMWORK

 Where radial returns of less than three meters radius are encountered, the Contractor shall
use approved formwork.
 Form work will be a Steel template of thickness 3 mm, shall be inserted at no more than
three metre intervals.
 The steel templates will be provided as per IS standards and will be fix to position by the
help of binding wires/ nut bolt system.
APPLYING OF BONDING SOLUTION.

 Contaminants, such as oil, grease, tar, asphalt, paint, wax, curing compounds and surface
impregnants, such as linseed oil, should be removed; so should dust, laitance and weak or
loose concrete.
 The special bonding material is should be Sikadur® -32 LP /Nitobond ® EP Std
 When bonding to special bonding materials, the surface should be roughened so that clean
aggregate is exposed.

 The application of this bonding material is by the brush on the existing kerb stone top
portion.
 Do not apply adhesives in the rain or in the presence of standing water.

CONCRETE MIX PREPARATION

 Use 4 measures of small gravel (6 or 10mm) with 2 measures of sharp sand and 1 measure
of Ordinary Portland Cement.
 These dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed together before adding water, a bit at a time,
until the mixture is damp throughout.
 The mix needs to be reasonably stiff, or the edgings will 'float' and lose their level setting.
 The mixed concrete should be damp enough to be moulded into a ball without falling apart.
 Mix in a mixer or it can be mixed by hand, by continually turning over the sand, gravel
and cement until thoroughly mixed, and then adding water.

PLACING OF CONCRETE

 Before any concrete is placed the entire Placing Programme consisting of equipment,
layout, proposed procedures and methods is planned.
 No concrete is placed until formwork is inspected and found suitable for placement.
 Equipment / Material for conveying concrete should be of such size and design as to ensure
a practically continuous flow of concrete during depositing without segregation of
materials considering the size of the job and placement location.
 Concrete is placed in its final position before the cement reaches its initial set and concrete
is compacted in its final position within 30 minutes of leaving the mixer and once
compacted it should not be disturbed.
 In all cases the concrete is deposited as nearly as practicable directly in its final position
and should not be re-handled or caused to flow in a manner which may cause segregation,
loss of materials, shuttering or embedded inserts or impair its strength.
 Concrete should be placed in the shuttering by shovels or other methods and should not be
dropped from a height more than one metre or handle in a manner which will cause
segregation.
 Concrete placed in restricted forms by borrows, buggies, cars, sort chutes or hand
shoveling should be subjected to the requirement for vertical delivery of limited height to
avoid segregation and should be deposited as nearly as practicable in it’s final position.
 Concreting once started should be continuous until the pour is completed. Concrete should
be placed in successive horizontal layers of uniform thickness. These should be placed as
rapidly as practicable to prevent the formation of cold joints or planes of weakness between
each succeeding layers within the pour.

 The thickness of each layer should be such that it can be deposited before the previous
layer has stiffened.
 The bucket loads or other units of deposit should be spotted progressively along the face
of the layer with such overlap as will facilitate spreading the layer to uniform depth and
texture with a minimum of shoveling.
 Any tendency to segregation should be corrected by shoveling stones into mortar rather
than mortar onto stones. Such a condition should be corrected by redesign of mix or other
suitable means.
 The top surface of each pour and bedding planes should be approximately horizontal
unless otherwise specified in drawings.

COMPACTION OF CONCRETE

 There are two methods of compaction adopted in the field.1.Hand compaction 2. Mechanical
compaction and contractor should use mechanical compaction.
 Vibration is imparted to the concrete by mechanical means. It causes temporary liquefaction so that
air bubbles come on to the top and expelled ultimately.
 It is most commonly used technique of concrete vibration. Vibration is achieved due to eccentric
weights attached to the shaft.
 The needle diameter varies from 20 mm to 75 mm and its length varies from 25 cm to 90 cm. the
frequency range adopted is normally 3500 to 5000 rpm.

SURFACE FINISHING

 After placing of concrete, it will take 24 hours to settle.

 When it comes to settle should remove the form work.
 After removing of form work needs to do a finishing for the surface.
 For finishing the surface of kerb normally do plastering with the proportion of 1:2 mix.
CURING
 Contractor shall evenly spray water after one day of plastering.
 At the end of the curing period, the kerbing shall provide dense, hard wearing surface.
BACK FILLING

 After curing period completed the excavated area which is excavated for form work is to be back billing
by means of manual methods.
