2.1 CLEARING THE SITE
1. The building site shall be leveled according to the plans and cleared of rubbish, roots and other perishable and
objectionable matters to a suitable sub-grade.
2. All such unsuitable materials shall be removed from the building site and spread uniformly over the areas adjacent
to the proposed building, or otherwise disposed of as may be directed by the Architect or Engineer in charge of
construction.
2.2. STAKING OUT THE BUILDING LINES
1. The building lines shall be staked out and all lines and grades shown in the drawing established before any
excavation is started. Batter boards and reference marks shall be erected at such places where they will not be
disturbed during the excavation of the building.
2.3. EXCAVATION AND LEVELING
1. All excavations shall be made to grade indicated in the drawings. Where the building site is covered with any kind
of fill, the excavation for footings should be made deeper until the stratum for safe bearing capacity of the soil is
reach.
2. Whenever water is encountered in the excavation process, it shall be removed by bailing or pumping, care being
taken that the surrounding soil particles are not disturbed or removed.
2.4. FILLING
1. After concrete for foundations is hard enough to withstand pressure resulting from fills, the materials removed
from excavations shall be used for backfill around them.

compacted by wetting, tamping and rolling.

DIVISION 3: CONCRETE

position and shapes of the concrete members. Forms shall be constructed sufficiently tight to prevent bulging and
seepage of water.
3.2 Forms shall not be removed until the concrete has attained sufficient strength to support its own weight
and any loads that may be placed on it. Side forms of beams and girders may be removed earlier than the bottom
forms but additional posts or shoring shall be placed under beams or girders until they have attained their strength.
