Information pertaining to the nature of the ground may be given to the contractor, when available, but without any guarantee of correctness or accuracy. 2 Setting Out Each Benchmark (B.M.] or centerline for the butlding anc/or other constructions tobe under this contract, shall be properly set out by the Contractor as shown on the Drawings and inspected and approved by the Engineer prior to commencing excavations. 3 Surface Leveling All earth works on Site shall be completed before any fill is deposited. Excavations over areas Of Site or filling with approved material shall be carried out where required to the levels shown on the Drawings or to such ather levets as may be directed by the Engineer, 4 Size and Depth of Excavation Excavation shall be cut to the size of the foundation shown on the Drawings and taken down to the foundation levels shown on the Drawings. If, without the Engineer's written instructions, the Contractor goes down below the foundation level specified, he shall fil up the part so excavated with concrete of the same type and grade as that required for the piles as defined in Concrete Works and the Bill of Quantities at his own expense. 5 Shoring Excavations and Dewatering ‘the sides of excavations shall be supported as necessary te maintain a vertical face and/or to prevent caving-in of any nature, especially during subsequent operations. The Contractor shall be responsibie for the design, supply, fixing, safety and removal af all planking, strutting and shoring required to the side of the excavation. The Contractor is responsible on the type and nature or soil to be excavated; also he is to use any equipment, including dewatering equipment, to carry out the work required by this Contract, 6 Types of Excavations Excavations shall be classified according to the nature of the materials to be removed either as excavation in rock ar as excavation in earth, Excavation in rock shall be classified as including all excavations in hard and consolidated materials which cannot 8 removed by normal excavation tools and equipment, and which require drilling er other special meens for their removal, All excavation which is not in rock shall be defined as excavation in earth, 7 Required Bearing Capacity ‘The Contractor shall notify the Engineer and obtain instructions if the required bearing capacity:ale (2) is obtained at a lesser depth than that shown on the drawings. (2) is not abtained at the deoth shown on the drawings. Excavation bottoms are to be aparoved before new work is laid on them. The Contractor is to infortn the Engineer when excavations are ready for inspection. if, after approval, surfaces become unsuitable due to flooding or other causes, the Contracter shall excavate further, backfill with approved filing material and compact to approval at no extra cost to the owner Should the soll condition, after the Engineer has been informed the excavations are ready for inspection, be such that the Engineer deems it necessary to carry out tests, the Contractor shall perform such tests to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Any expenses incurred in the performance of such tests are deemed to be included by the Contractor in his tender. 8 Preparation and Inspection of Excavation All excavations shall be kept free of water arising from whatever source, and shall be properly cleaned out of all loose and foreign matter, leveled and rammed. The Contractor is to report to the Engineer when excavations are ready for inspection and all excavations are to be approved before any further work is done. Filling Allfilling materials shall be approved by the Engineer before beingpplaced in position. Approved earth, sand, or any other suitable material free from rubbish shall be used to make up levels as shown on the Drawings. ‘The material shall be placed in successive layers each having 2 finished thickness not exceeding 250mm before compaction, watered and compacted to at least 98% compaction ratio of the maximum dry density of the Modified Proctor test ( ASTIM D-1557} prior to the placement of the succeeding layer. Any exposed side or edge of fill shall be properly and evenly graded toa slope as directed or specified. When the required quantities of approved fill are not found on Site the Contractor shall, at his ‘own expense, obtain them from locations approved by the Engineer. Filling to make up levels under building shal! be executed with approved sultable material fram existing ground levels, Up to underside of ground floor slab, and shall be be olaced in successive layers each having a finished thickness not exceeding 250mm, watered and compacted to at least $8% compaction ratio of the maximum dry density of the Modified Proctor test { ASTM D-1557) prior to the placement of the succeeding layer. The ground surrounding the butlding and pavernents shall be filled with approved material, fine sand and coarse materials, free of foreign materials, debris, clay ‘umps, organic and vegetation. a) Coarse materials: Such as sandy gravel, gravelly sand, ..etc., which is the material retained ‘on sieve no. 4, and consists of crushed rock, It shall be clean, hard, tough and free from deleterious substance. b} Fine Sand Materials Shall consist of thet portion of the total aggregate/fines passes no.4 sieve, such as sand, silty sand, etc,10 Disposal of Surplus Material All surplus excavated material not used in backfilling oF levelling shall be loaded and transported elsewhere on the Site as required by the Engineer or, if not required on the Site, shall be loaded and carted away from the Site ta a dump to be selected by the Contractor and approved by the Municipality at the Contractor's own expense. All rubbish arising from the Works shall be cleared away and removed from the Site as it accumulates per the Engineer's instructions and on completion of the Worksue CONCRETE WORK General All materials shall be subject to such tests as the Engineer may direct and provision for such tests shall be included in the price for such materials inserted in the Bill of Quantities or Schedule of Rates unless otherwise provided for. [n case such tests required by the Engineer, an independent and officially authorized lab shall carry out such tests and sampling. Properly representative samples of all materials to be used in the works shall be submitted by the Contractor for the Engineer's approval when required. Where tests are required by the Engineer, the Contractor shall take samples and send to @ firm experienced In analysis of the material. Reports shall be submitted to the Engineer. The Contractor shall bear all expenses consequent to the provisian, taking and cartage, etc. of samples, in additlon to the costs of performing the tests and reporting the results. The Engineer reserves the right to reject any material which, in his opinion is objectionable in any respect, not withstanding its apparent compliance with the relevant Standards. Any such rejected material shall be removed from the site at the Contrector’s expense at once. 2 Formwork for Concrete The Contractor shall supply, design, erect, strike end remove the formwork and be entirely responsible for Its stability and safety so that it will cerry the fresh concrete and all incidental loadings and preserve it from damage and distortion during its placing, vibration, ramming, setting and curing, Itshall be so constructed as to leave the finished concrete to the dimensions shown on the Drawings and of 2 material capable of providing the surface finish specified. In ‘any avent, the maximum permissible deflection under all loads shall not exceed 2mm or 4/600 ofthe free span, whichever is lass. Formwork shalll be of timber and / or metal and shall include ail temporary concrete moulds and their supports. Bolts to be used for fixing the formwork shall be approved by the Engineer before staring the work For concrete surfaces, which are to remain, exposed wrought formwork shall be used. Wrought formwork shall be of timber or steel framing lined with 12mm thick smooth-faced plywood or ‘an equal lining approved by the Engineer, or of metal , suitable to obtain a falr face finish on the concrete. All external angles or fair faced in-site concrate shall have chamfers formed with 15x15mm {(5/8"x5/8"} wrought hardwood angle fillets planted in the angles of the formwork , unless iarger chamfers are shown on the drawings. Formwork ready to receive concrete shall be thoroughly clean and the internal faces properly painted with approved shutter oil or other preparation. Joints shall be tight to prevent leskage, Wherever required and prior to placing of the reinforcement the internal surfaces of all formwork shall be treated with an approved mould oil, All formwork shall be inspected end approved by the Engineer prior to concreting,gly ‘This approval, however, does not relieve the Contractor of any of his responsibilities, The striking of all formwork shall be carried out with the greatest of care to avoid damege to concrete 42 The formwork to vertical surfaces such 25 walls, columns and sides of beams may be removed in accordance with the table below although care must be taken to avoid damage to the concrete, escecially to arrases and features .

The times given for the removal of props are based on the assumotion that the total live plus dead weight to be supported at the time of removal is not more than one half of the total design load . For horizontal members where the loading is to be @ higher proportion of the total design load these times may need to be increased, The Contractor shall be responsible for any damage to the concrete work caused by or arising from the removal and striking of the forms and supports Any advice , permission or approval by the Engineer relative to the removal and striking of forms and supports shall not relieve the Contractor from this responsibility . Any work showing signs of damage through premature loading is to be entirely reconstructed at the Contractor's expense ‘The Contractor shall confirm positions and details of atl {a} permanent fixings (b) pipes and conduit (c} holes and chases to ensure thet alterations are not made without the knowledge and approval of the Engineer. The Contractor shall fix inserts or box out as required to correct positions before plecing concrete, and shall form all holes and chases. He shall nor cut hardened concrete without approval, 3 Reinforcement for Concrete Steel reinforcement shall generally be hot rolled mild, medium or high yield steel smooth sound of deformed bars complying with 8S 4449 or similar approved standard. In case any other type of reinforcement is required, itshall comply with the requirements of the Particular Specification . 13 All reinforcement shall be free from rust and mill scale and any coating such as cil, clay, paint ete which might impair the bond with the concrete. Manufacturer's test certificates for all classes of reinforcement shall be supplied when required. Specimens sufficient for three tensile tests and three cold-bending tests per ten tons of bars of fractlonls thereof and for each different size of bar shall be sempled under the supervision of the Engineer. Testing shall be in accardance with BS 4449 or other approved standard and batches shall be rejected if the average results for each batch are not in accordance with the specification. All tests should be made on the Contractor's expense. All steel is to be totally iree from dirt, paint, loose rust or scale when in position ready for concreting. The Contractor shall cut and bend bars to BS 4466 and to schedule provided unless otherwise instructed by ‘the Engineer. Straight sections of bars must be kept out of winding, The internat radius of bends shall in no case be less than four times the diameter of the bar, except for stirrups, column binders, and wall sheer bars which are to be bent to fit closely around the main bars, Great cares to be taken to bend stirrups and columns binders separately and to the sizes shown. All bars will be cut and bent cold using approved machines. Lengthening of bars by welding, and rebinding of incorrectly bent bars will not be permitted, except where requested by the Engineer. The Contractor shall provide on-site facilities for hand bending to deal with minor adjustments. Unless otherwise allowed for in the specification splices in reinforcing bars shall be formed by lapping. Such laps in bars in any member shall be staggered. Except es otherwise indicated on the drawings the minimum overlap of lapped splices shall be 50 bar diameters or 400mm whichever Is greater. ‘The steel is to be fixed in position exactly as indicated, and the bars are to be securely wired together with 1.6 of 1.4mm soft iron wire or appraved spring steet clips wherever necessary to prevent any displacement during concreting, Spacers, chairs and the like, temporary or permanent, are to be used as required to ensure that the stee! has the exact amount of cover Indicated. No permanent spacers, may show on a surface where a fair faced concrete finish or a brushed aggregate finish are required. Type of spacers shall be approved by the Engineer before starting the work. Unless otherwise indicated, the minimum cover to the reinforcing bars is to be as listed below, or equal ta the diameter of the bar, whichever is greater. Position ‘Minimum cover - mm Main bars in internal faces of columns and beams 25 Main bars in external faces of columns and beams 30 Main bars in floor slabs and soffits of roof slabs. Handling Aggregates ‘The choice and preparation of sites for stockpiling of aggregates, the number and sizes of stockpiles and the methods adopted to prevent segregation of component sizes shall be agreed with the Engineer. Coarse aggregate shall be stockpiled in three separate gradings: 38- 19mm, 19-10mm, 10-Smm. When aggregates of different gradings are stockpiled close together the stockpiles shalf be separated by bulkheads. Stockpites are to be on concrete or ‘other hard surface sufficiently sloped so that water is not retained in the base of the stockpiles. All agaregates are to be hendled frorn the stockpile in such a manner as to secure a typical grading of the meterial, care being taken to avoid crushing the aggregates and contamination with extraneous matter.Aggregates need not be stockpiled when a crushing-screening plant is used in tandem with a batching plant properly equipped with several bins for different sized aggregates heving the appropriate weighing scales at such bin such that 2 mix of the desired gradation is obtained consistently and the whole operation Is conducted to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Water Unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Engineer, only water from potable supply system may be used for mixing concrete and other products containing cement. Similarly, only potatle water may be used for curing conerete and cement products during the first 24 hours after pouring. Later, fresh water, or other water containing not more than 4750 ppm dissolved solids of which not more than 1000 ppm may be chlorides, may be used for curing. No additives of any kind shail be used in the concrete without the express approval In writing of the Engineer. Batching And Mixing Of Concrete All concrete shall be batched by weight and mixed mechanically. Hand mixing shall not be allowed except only upon the written permission of the Engineer. Concrete may either be batched and mixed on site or outside the site and transported thereto When mixed outside the site and transported to it, batching and mixing shall be in accordance with ASTM Specification C94, ‘Standard Specification for Ready-Mixed Concrete’ . When mixed on site, batching and mixing shall be as follows: BATCHING BY WEIGHT: The cement and each size of aggregate shall be measured by weight. The water may be measured by weight or volume. The weight-batching machines used shail be of a type approved by the Engineer and shal be kept in good condition while In use on the Works. Checks are to be made as required by the Engineer to determine that the welghing devices are registering comrectly. BATCHING AGGREGATE BY VOLUME: When batching aggregates by volume is allowed as and when required, the cement shall be batched by weight and the water by weight or volume, Each size of ageregete shall be measured in metallic containers the depth of which is at least equal to their greatest width, The containers shall be of such shape that thelr volume can be easily checked by measurement. MIXING CONCRETE: the location of the batching and mixing plant shall be agreed with the Engineer. The amount of concrete mixed in any one batch is not to exceed the rated capacity of the mixer. The whole of the batch is to be removed before materials for @ fresh batch enter the drum. On cessation of work, including all stopnages exceeding 20 minuites, the mixers and all handling plant shall be washed with clean mixing water. If ald concrete deposits remain in the mixer drum, they shall be rotated with clean aggregate and water prior to production of new concrete. 20 Concrete mixed as above is not to be modified by the addition of water or in any other manner to facilitate handling or for any other reason.oli Admixtures No admixtures of any type shall be used in the preparation of concrete or concrete products Unless s0 required by the Particuler Specification or unless so directed by the Engineer. In case any such admixtures are used the rates and methods of application shall be strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions which must be approved by the Engineer before using it.
