before commencement of works.
9.3.1.1 Survey & Setting Out
Total station, optical level, survey post on vessel will be used for survey & setting out for
construction works. Only the approved benchmarks can be used for survey.
The survey and setting out coordinates shall be seen from the approved IFC drawings.

Preparation→ Bottom formwork of blinding concrete → Side Formwork→ Fixing of Rebar and Embedded Parts → Concrete Casting→ Stripping of formwork and
Curing
2) Construction Method
a. Preparation
The preparation work includes:
Mobilization and delivery of all equipment and materials.
b. Bottom Formwork
Lean concrete or concrete Blinding with 100mm thickness and dimension and concrete
strength shall be casted in accordance to approved IFC drawings, which will be used as
bottom formwork.
c. Lateral Formwork
After casting the lean concrete base, the lateral or side formwork can be installed. The
formwork for will be processed in the precast yard and transported to site.
d. Rebar fixing (if any or if required)
The bar cutting will be done accordingly to the indications and dimensions showed on
the drawings and Project specifications.
The rebar bending will be done with the appropriate equipment.
The reinforcement steel shall be prepared as per indication on drawings or any other
applicable document.
The binding of the reinforcement steel will be done using a steel wire to maintain the
rebar’s in place with required over laps, avoiding them to move during concrete pouring.
The minimum concrete cover shall be followed as indicated in the approved drawings.
The specified cover to the reinforcement shall be maintained by the use of suitable
concrete spacers of the same material and the precast spacer blocks shall be equal in
strength of the concrete block in which they will be placed. At any place where there’s
need for steel frame shift, check damage on the block or cleaning; the use of “windows”
rebar cage shall be considered when any of the below conditions arise:
Reinforcement steel too narrow.
NIGERIA
Beacons and Buoys
In case of damage embedded elements in the block

Formwork cleaning
Concrete compaction.
concrete spacers of same material of block and precast spacer blocks shall be at least
equal in strength of the concrete block in which they are being placed. At some places
steel frame or supports may also be used to secure the fixed rebar, these frames will not
be removed if it will not affect the structure. The use of “Windows” of rebar cage can be
considered when any of the following conditions arise:
Reinforcement steel too narrow.
In case of embedded elements in the blocks.
Formwork cleaning
Concrete compaction.
Where ever embedded parts are required, the embedded components should be
installed as per the drawing and secured with rebars and formwork to avoid movement
during concreting.
e. Embedded Parts fixing

Wherever required, embedded parts for foundation like anchor bolts installed as per the
drawing and secured to avoid movement during concreting.

Figure 9.4c: Embedded parts details for Navigation Aid Tower Foundation
f. Concrete Casting
The procedure of casting foundation is outlined as follows:
1) Clean the pouring surface, i.e. inside of the formwork.
2) Check the position of the formworks and the reinforcement (if has).
3) Prepare vibrators for concrete pouring.
4) Concrete is delivered by concrete mixer from the concrete batching plants to the
precast yard.
5) During the casting process, a team shall be assigned for concrete vibration and
another team will be responsible for handling hose from concrete truck. Concrete will be
casted into the formwork using concrete pump, and the maximum free fall of concrete
shall not exceed 2m. The concrete shall be poured into the formwork by layers of
approximately 300~400mm thickness.
6) The vibration starts from the corner of the formwork to the center of formwork. The
vibrators shall be inserted and withdrawn at points with space of approximately 500mm
for each layer. It will be kept 50mm to 100mm away from the edge of the formwork, to
avoid striking the reinforcement. The vibrator is placed vertically into the concrete. It will
be dropped quickly into concrete and withdrawn slowly to allow for compaction and to
remove the bubbles. The vibrators shall penetrate a minimum of 150 mm into the
preceding layers to ensure a proper and uniform connection between the upper and
lower layers.
7) Surface finish
Top surfaces shall be brought to proper level using wooden or metal screed. After
surface finishing, the top surface shall be covered with plastic sheeting or geotextile to
reduce heat loss by evaporation.
g. Formwork removal
Formwork supporting cast in-situ concrete in flexure may be struck when the strength
of the concrete in the element is 10 N/mm2 or twice the stress to which it will be
subjected, whichever is the greater, provided that striking at this time will not result in
unacceptable deflection Formwork supporting cast in situ concrete in flexure may be
NIGERIA
Beacons and Buoys
struck when the strength of the concrete in the element is 10N/mm2 or twice the stress
to which it will be subjected, whichever is the greater, we shall ensure that the striking at
this time will be monitored and corrected to avoid unacceptable deflection. As Cube test
will be performed to determine the formwork striking time. Remove all the tie rods,
including all the connecting bolts from the formworks.
Lift the side formwork slowly and transport to the next position for proper cleaning.
h. Curing
Curing duration will depend upon 7 days concrete curing will determine the quality of
concrete. Blocks must be cured after being removed from the forms. water or curing
compound will be used to cure the blocks. Curing compound must being before used to
cure the blocks. Manufacturer’s instruction will be followed for the application of curing
compound.
9.3.1.2 Backfill & Site Clearance
After casting of foundation, the backfill of breakwater approved material from QA/QC shall be
filled inside the excavated ground and levelled only after complete installation of Navigation
Aid tower. Site shall be well cleaned for inspection after all the work finished.
9.3.2 Tower Installation

1. The navigation aid tower shall be installed/assembled piece by piece. In case if the
manufacturer has given the assembly instruction, it shall be followed.
Note: - Manufacturer must supply the assembly or installation instruction for the navigation
aid tower. The below method for installation of navigation aid tower is an example for
reference.

Navigation Aids Buoys will be shipped pre-installed from the factory.
On the site we will just connect the mooring chains on navigation aid and sinker block using
shackle and place it in sea with the help of crane. Ladder and reflector will be just bolted on
the navigation aid before placing in the sea.
After installation of all the accessories of the buoys on the yard, it shall be lifted up by the
crane and loaded on the flat top barge with crane. The crane on the flat top barge will then lift
the buoys and place them in the sea at the design location as per the IFC drawings.

According to the estimated work efficiency, we can install 2 buoys per day, and it will take 12
days for all buoys to be installed
After installation of the buoys the surveyor shall check the co-ordinates of the center of the
buoy for QA/QC control of installation location. Built coordinates and distance will be
indicated on drawings and be submitted as part of handover document.
