required concrete cover thickness is maintained during the placing
and compaction of the concrete. Where concrete blocks are used,
these should be made of mortar not leaner than 1 part of cement to
2 parts of sand.
b. Form Works,
1. The formwork should be so constructed as to remain sufficiently
rigid during the concrete placing and should be sufficiently tight to
prevent loss of cement slurry from the concrete.
 2. The important qualities of good formwork relates to rigidity and
strength, economy of material, re-use, convenience of erection and
striking and good surface finish.
3. Execution of form work shall take into account climatic conditions,
the expected heat of hydration and finishing of concrete surfaces.
4. All edges of exposed concrete members shall have a chamfer of
approximately 25 mm, unless otherwise specified.
5. Form shall be sufficiently tight to prevent leakage of cement. All
surfaces of forms and embedded materials shall be cleaned of any
accumulated mortar from previous concreting and of all matter
foreign material before concrete is placed in them.
6. Before concrete placing commences, all wedges and other adjusting
devices shall be secured against movement during concrete placing.
7. Scaffolding will be installed where necessary.

c. Embedded items and water stop.

1. Anchor bolts, pipe sleeves, anchor rails, inserts, bolts, ladder etc.
shall be positioned accurately using a wooden or steel template and
be firmly attached to the form work before the concrete is poured.
2. Where bolts and anchor bolts are to be installed, additional rebar
shall be used to acquire an accurate position. Bolts and anchor bolts
shall be tied with an annealed iron wire on the additional rebar.
3. The elevation and plot plan position shall be checked before and
immediately after casting to ensure that embedment have not moved
during casting.
4. The location of water stop shall be as indicated on the drawings.

water stop during the works.
7. The joint shall be properly cleaned, inserted and jointed in
accordance with manufacturer recommendations.

d. Concrete Placing.
1. The measuring, mixing, production and transporting of concrete shall
be through transit mixture and under no circumstances water shall be
added to the mixer in transit to the site.
2. Before each concrete pouring activity, the Contractor shall give
advance notice of 1 day so that an inspection may be made before
the concrete is placed.
3. When placing of concrete by pumping method, a backup plan shall be
in place to ensure the continuity of concrete placing in case the pump
should fail.
 4. The total time required for mixing, transportation and pouring of
concrete should in general not exceed 45 minutes.
5. All concrete shall be consolidated by vibration, spading, rodding or
forking so that the concrete is thoroughly worked around the
reinforcement and around the embedded items.
6. Spare vibrators shall be kept on the job site during all concreting
operations.
7. Concrete pump shall be used for walls, columns and foundations
below the ground level.
8. For the pouring of concrete for walls and columns special care shall
be taken to ensure the concrete is fully compacted at the base.
9.  To maintain the drop height, a flexible hose shall be connected to the
outlet of the pump then it will insert inside the wall forms or by
specially designed drop holes around 200x200 mm shall be provided
in the shuttering at every 2meter C/C and at every 1.5 meter height of
shuttering to keep the minimum drop height.
10. Initial curing shall follow the finishing operation after 12hours, and
shall be kept continuously moist for 24 hours.
11. Provide approved bonding agents at construction joints if
construction joint occurred.
12. Repair work to be conduct when repair work occurred.
13. Take care of Housekeeping every day before leaving the site.

e. Concrete Placing in Hot season.

1. A first and very necessary step before pouring the concrete is to
thoroughly moisten the sub-grade, reinforcing steel and wooden
forms before placing the concrete.
2. Enough ice should be use during batching of concrete to reduce the
temperature of concrete.
3. Avoid delay in placing the concrete. Have sufficient labour and
equipment on hand to perform the placing quickly.
4. Don't order or try to place more ready-mixed concrete than you can
reasonably expect to finish and cover.
5. Care should be exercised with vibrators, to avoid over- vibration. Five
to fifteen seconds of vibration, depending on the depth of the
concrete, should give the desired compaction.
6. Try to shade the concrete from direct sunlight or cover the concrete
with polythene sheet.
7. In cases of extreme hot weather, it may be wise to start jobs in the
afternoon to take advantage of lower temperatures in the evening.
8. Sub-grade should be damp, but not muddy. Saturate beforehand
then sprinkle again just before concrete is placed.
 9. Discharge concrete from waiting trucks as soon as possible. Heat
evolution from cement hydration and continuous agitation results in
temperature rises in the concrete which can cause a rapid loss in
workability.

f. Curing,
1. Portable water shall be use for curing.
2. Initial curing shall follow the finishing operation after 12hours, and
shall be kept continuously moist for 24 hours.
3. Final curing shall be continued for at least 7 days in the case of
structural concrete.
4. After initial setting of concrete for vertical structures & foundations
remove the formwork carefully to avoid the breakage of corners and
cover the concrete with burlaps and plastic sheet during curing
period to maintain surface wet.

g. Removal of Form work,

1. The form work shall be removed from column, wall, beam and other
parts not supporting the weight of the concrete after 24hours and for
supporting the weight of the concrete after 14 days or as per client
approval.
2. Formwork shall be removed carefully without shock or disturbance to
concrete.
3. After the removal of formwork immediately remove nails from the
wood to avoid hiding the nail in foot or other part of body.
4. Stacking of formwork shall be in good manner for reuse.

h. Concrete service protection.

1. Before applying the bitumen coating the concrete shall be cured, all
honeycombs properly patched with approved material and the surface
must be dry.
2. Before bituminous coating activity, the Contractor shall give advance
notice of inspection.
3. A protective bitumen coating shall be applied on the blinding and on
concrete surfaces below and 15cm above the ground level.
4. External concrete surfaces above ground shall be coated with approved
epoxy Paint System.
