6.2.Formwork (General - Refer Section 031100 of specification)

1. Form works shall be designed and constructed in accordance with applicable codes within the specified tolerances
to the shape, lines, and dimension required by the design drawings(s).
2. Forms shall be coated with mould oil or release agent
3. Form exposed corners to produce smooth, square, solid unbroken lines. Provide chamfers for surfaces where
indicated on drawings.
4. For slab work, Shore/ support shall be provided for floor directly under slab being placed so that loads from
construction above will safely transfer directly to these shores.
5. Formwork shall be struck without damaging, disturbing, or overloading the structure. The minimum periods for
striking formwork shall be as agreed with Engineer based on the compressive strength results on test cubes.
Calculations for formwork shall be submitted
6.3.Erection procedure
1. Compact backfilling up to the bottom of grade slab.
2. CUPLOK system will be used as the form work type.
3. Wooden planks of minimum size 300mm wide x 50mm thick and 4mts long are be laid below the universal jack and
socket (adjustable) base. The top of wooden plan is maintained at -0.05m Level as per the design drawing.

11. Universal jack with drop head adapter are then fixed on top of the standards.
12. The upper jack is adjusted to achieve the required height of floor
13. The decking beam 1.8 M is placed on the raised drop head as per the design drawings.
14. M infill beams are then placed resting on the decking beams at 0.35 M c/c (as per the design drawings).
15. 18mm Marine plywood is then placed and fixed.
