Work Method Statement for Plain and Reinforced Cement

Concrete PCC and RCC

SCOPE
The work of Plain Cement concrete shall consist of laying and compacting of cement concrete on
excavated earth in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specifications accordingly to
lines, grades and cross sections shown on the drawings. The excavated pit shall be dressed true to
line and levels and excavated /unsuitable material shall be disposed off.

CODES / SPECIFICATION
IS 456, IS 516

RESPONSIBILITY
Responsibilities of all concerned is clearly mentioned with respect to overall administration and
implementation in the approved Organogram.

MATERIALS TO BE USED
The materials to be used to the work shall be free from organic or other deleterious constituents
and are as follows:
Ordinary Portland Cement
It is proposed to use Ordinary Portland Cement of 43 or 53 Grade. The cement shall be procured
from reputed manufactures in bags of 50 kg each. The cement shall be stocked at raised platform
in covered Cement Godown to protect it from moisture, sun and rain etc. The consumption of
cement shall be done on first-in-first-out basis.
Testing of cement shall be done on regular basis to ensure quality as per requirement.
Crushed Stone Aggregates of various sizes and gradation
Coarse Aggregates shall be of clean, hard strong, dense, non-porous crushed stone of specified
gradation. Initially the aggregates shall be purchased from market and later these shall be
produced from Crusher setup for the project.
The aggregate shall be tested for all physical properties before incorporation in work.
Natural Sand
The Fine Aggregate shall consist of clean, hard, strong and durable pieces o crushed stone or
natural sand from river bed. It shall be tested for Fineness Modulus, Silt Content, etc. before
using in the works.

SAFETY REQUIREMENT
As per the requirement and the direction of HSE Officer.

DEPLOYMENT OF EQUIPMENT
As per the requirement and the direction of Project Manager.

DEPLOYMENT OF MANPOWER
As per the requirement and the direction of project manager.
IMPLEMENTATION

Mix Design:
Well before proposed start date for RCC works, Mix Design for all grades of concrete to be used
in works shall be conducted in Field Laboratory as per approved Technical Specifications.
Construction Operations:
Excavation dimension must be checked before start of P.C.C. and necessary shuttering must be
done, if required.
Remove all loose earth from foundation pits before placing of P.C.C.
Ensure that measurement boxes are ready before starting this activity.
Take care to sprinkle water and ram manually in foundation pit before placing concrete.
Ensure availability of chute, panja, koba, etc before start.
Compaction of P.C.C. should be properly done to get smooth even levelling course. Loose coarse
aggregate can be picked up from the surface.
The dimension of excavation has to be checked before start of PCC and necessary shuttering to
be done if required.
