1.1 SUMMARY
A. This section specifies cast-in-place concrete, including formwork, reinforcement, concrete

materials, mixture designs, placement procedures and finishes.
B. Pending statutory confirmation, the QCS (Qatar Construction Specification) may form the basis
of the Project Specification. In case of contradiction or discrepancy between the QCS (Qatar
Construction Specification) and the Technical Specification, Contractor shall incorporate
whichever is more stringent. Where a question remains on which requirement is more stringent,
Contractor shall submit the issue to the Msheireb Properties Representative in writing. The
decision of the Msheireb Properties Representative shall be considered to be final. QCS is
included in Section 01 43 00 as a reference.
C. All references to LEED Prerequisites and Credits related to works in this Section will be
included and developed as necessary in line with General requirements set out in Division 1.
These references will include LEED certification and performance objectives, LEED
requirements and procedures and LEED submittal details. The Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System provides a benchmark for the
design construction and operation of high performance green buildings. The buildings have been
designed to achieve Gold Ratings under LEED 2009. The contractor is required to review the
checklist for the certification process and ensure that nothing implemented during the
construction phase degrades the intended quality of the buildings or the points scored in the
design process.
D. Refer to Division 01 Sections for requirements regarding:
1. LEED credit achievement goals as summarized by the LEED Scorecard attached to

Section 01 81 13, ‘Sustainable Design Requirements’.
2. Requirements for documentation of LEED credits.
3. Payment application requirements as they relate to LEED documentation requirements.
E. Work Included:
1. Concrete Sub Slabs
2. Concrete Walls
3. Concrete Footings
4. Concrete Sealers

2.4 SEALANTS AND JOINT FILLERS
A. Provide sealants and joint fillers compatible with material being sealed; refer to Section 07
92 01, INTERIOR JOINT SEALANTS.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Examine surfaces and blockouts where vehicular expansion joint systems will be installed
for installation tolerances and other conditions affecting performance of work.
1. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Provide temporary blocking in formwork for items which are to be built into cast-in-place
concrete.
B. Provide and install joint manufacturers recommended cementitious patching material where
any edge, or surface, is not in compliance with the joint manufacturer’s recommendations
for proper substrate conditions to receive the expansion joint assembly materials.
C. Clean substrate of debris and deleterious material which would impair the work. At
concrete blockouts deleterious materials include concrete form release agents, water
repellents, laitence, surface dirt, rust, and standing water. Concrete shall be fully cured (28
days) prior to placement of cementitious patching material, primers, adhesives and
elastomeric concrete fill header materials. Cementitious patching materials, if used, shall be
fully cured prior to placement of primers, adhesives and elastomeric concrete fill header
material.
D. Coordinate expansion joint work with the work of other trades.

Msheireb - Phase 2
3.3 INSTALLATION
A. General: Install all expansion joints in accordance with manufacturer's printed instructions,
and as shown and required to prevent the transmission of water.
B. Cutting, Fitting and Placement - Vehicular Expansion Joints:
1. Perform all cutting, drilling and fitting required for the installation of the expansion
joints.
2. Fastening: Provide anchoring devices and fasteners for securing expansion joint
assemblies to in place construction. Provide fasteners of metal, type and size to suit
type of construction indicated and provide for secure attachment of expansion joint
assemblies. Set the work accurately in location, alignment, and elevation, plumb,
level, true, measured from established lines and levels. Fasten to substrates with
provision for thermal expansion and contraction and to avoid loss of water tight
performance of expansion joint system.
3. All butt splices, at transitions and terminations, shall be held in true alignment and
field welded in strict accordance with joint manufacturers guidelines. All transitions
and terminations shall be factory welded.
4. Prime surfaces to receive epoxy setting bed material in strict accordance with the
printed recommendations of the primer manufacturer. Allow primer to cure as
recommended by the primer manufacturer and the elastomeric concrete fill header
manufacturer.
5. Solvent clean vehicular expansion joint flanges.
6. Areas adjacent to the joint shall be masked with tape to assure neat, clean joint lines.
7. Embed flanges of vehicular expansion joints using epoxy setting bed material where
shown in strict accordance with the printed recommendations of the epoxy setting bed
manufacturer. Force epoxy setting bed material under flanges ensuring they are
firmly embedded and that there are no air pockets or unfilled voids under the flanges.
Trowel epoxy setting bed material smooth.
8. Flashing Sheet: Embed flanges of semi-vehicular expansion joints using hot applied
asphalt waterproofing materials in accordance with the written recommendations of
the waterproofing manufacturer.
9. Install gland and stainless steel capping strip in accordance with the expansion joint
manufacturers instructions.
3.4 PROTECTION
A. General: Protect expansion joint work from damage during construction.
