Dismantle forms and shoring when concrete has already attained its minimum design
sufficient strength to support its own weight and imposed construction loads. Forms for
columns, walls, side beams and other parts not required for supporting the weight of
concrete will be removed as soon as the concrete has sufficiently hardened to prevent
damage to the concrete surface during stripping operation.
Forms for beams soffits, supported slabs or other parts which support the weight of the
concrete will not be removed until concrete has attained its designed strength. Re-shoring
will be provided when necessary to safely support the structure after stripping the forms.
Forms and shoring materials shall be inspected and promptly after stripping. Protruding
nails, wire ties and other form accessories will be removed to eliminate damage /
personal injury. Undamaged items will be stored for re-use.
Repair and patch-up work after removal of forms and curing for concrete will be carried
out in accordance with procedure.

Strength test in accordance with "Method of Sampling Freshly Mixed Concrete ASTM
C173" and tested in accordance with "Test Method for Compressive Strength of
Cylindrical Concrete Specimens ASTM C39".
Air content Test in accordance with ASTM C173 or C23 unless otherwise specified by the
Customer.
Concrete additives required by the Customer, should be mixed as per manufacturer's
recommendations, unless otherwise specified by the Customer. Before concrete pouring
commences, wash with approved water all areas as a means of removing any scale
present on the re-bars and side forms.
When placing fresh concrete on hardened concrete, check all laitance and other unsound
material has been removed by chipping the surface of concrete before additional
concrete is deposited. Clean reinforcement thoroughly of deleterious coatings. Surfaces
to receive fresh concrete such as construction joints are to be free from scale and
properly wetted.
Placing concrete by dropping from a height greater than 1.5 meter is not acceptable.
Place concrete as near as practical to its final position to avoid segregation due to re-
handling or flowing. The use of long troughs, chutes & pipes for conveying from mixer to
the forms are not be used unless permitted by the Customer.
Concreting is to be carried out at such a rate that it remains plastic and flows readily into
spaces between reinforcement. Concrete that has partially hardened or been
contaminated by foreign materials is not to be placed in the structure. Re-tempered
concrete or concrete that has been remixed after initial set shall not be used.
approximately 18" (0.50m) apart. For each insertion, the duration should be sufficient to
consolidate the concrete but not cause segregation, generally from 5 to 15 seconds.
Spare vibrator shall be kept ready, in case of breakdown.
Concrete will normally be deposited in layers not greater than 350 mm. The layers
should be as level as possible so that the vibrator does not need to move the concrete
laterally which might cause segregation.
Where placement of concrete consists of layers, each layer should be placed while the
preceding layer is still plastic in order to avoid cold joints.
Once pouring is completed, avoid disturbing the newly poured concrete to prevent any
possibility of cracks or impairment of the structure. Curing of concrete is carried out
accordingly.
As soon as concrete has taken its initial set (or in any case not more than 12 hours after
completion of casting) remove protective plastic cover sheeting and commence curing in
the following manner. Wet thoroughly the concrete and overlay with burlap sack.
Continuously wet the burlap sack throughout the curing period. Mmaintain in moist
condition for a period of at least 7 days following placement of concrete.
Repair and patch-up of minor defects will be carried out in accordance with Concrete
Repair Procedure.
