2. The completed subgrade shall be tested for grade and cross-section by means of a template
supported on the side forms, and shall not project into the planned concrete cross-section at any
point.
3. The subgrade shall be of uniform density.
4. The subgrade and forms (where applicable) shall be wetted prior to placing concrete.

B. Form Construction

1. Forms shall be set to the required grades and lines. They shall be rigidly braced and secured.
2. Sufficient number of forms shall be installed to allow continuous progress of the work, and such
that forms can remain in place at least 24 hours after concrete placement.
3. The depth of forms for back of curbs shall be equal to the full depth of the curb. The depth of
face forms for concrete curbs shall be equal to the full face height of the curb.
5. Benders or thin plank forms may be used on curves, grade changes, or for curb returns. Back
forms for curb return may be made of 15 mm thick bender together for the full depth of the curb.
6. All forms shall be sufficiently strong and rigid and securely staked and braced to obtain a
finished product correct to the dimensions, line and grade required. Forms shall be cleaned and
oiled before each use.
7. The curbs and gutters may be constructed by the use of approved slip-form or extrusion
equipment provided that the completed curbs and gutters are true to shape, grade and line, and
the concrete is dense and of the required surface texture. The extrusion machine shall be
equipped with grade line gages or pointers in a manner that will provide a continuous comparison
between the curbs and gutters being placed and the planned grade, indicated by an offset guide
line.
8. The completed formwork shall be checked for grade and alignment to the following tolerances:
a) Top of forms, not more than 3 mm in 3 m.
b) Vertical face on longitudinal axis, not more than 6 mm in 3 m.

9. The forms shall be cleaned after each use. The form release agent shall be coated as often as
required to ensure separation from concrete without damage.

C. Fixing Reinforcement

1. The reinforcement shall be placed and supported as specified in the referenced Sections.

D. Construction Requirements

1. In constructing curbs, entrance shall be provided for driveways. The entrances shall be of the
dimensions shown on the Contract Drawings.
2. Concrete curbs to be constructed over an existing pavement shall be anchored to the pavement
by means of steel dowels embedded in 1:1 Portland cement and sand mortar in holes drilled in the
pavement, as shown on the Contract Drawings.
3. Dowels shall conform to the provisions for reinforcing steel bars specified in RC SECTION
03205 and shall be spaced and sized as shown on the Contract Drawings.
4. Approved anchor bolts may be used in lieu of dowels.

E. Concrete Placement

1. Concrete shall be placed using methods that prevent segregation of the mix. The concrete shall
be consolidated along the face of forms with an internal vibrator. The vibrator shall be kept away
from joint assemblies, reinforcement, or side forms.
2. Only square-faced shovels shall be used for hand-spreading and consolidation. Consolidation
shall be done with care to prevent dislocation of steel bars and joint materials.
3. Concrete shall be deposited and spread in a continuous operation between transverse joints.

4. When adjacent pavement lanes are placed in separate pours, mechanical equipment shall not
be operated on the hardened concrete until the curbs and gutters have attained sufficient strength
to carry the loads without damage.
5. Extrusion machines shall have vertical forming tubes which are readily adjustable vertically
during forward motion of the machine to provide, when necessary, a variable height of curb
conforming to the pre-determined curb grade; and with grade line gages or pointers attached to
the machine in a manner which will provide a continual comparison between the curb being placed
and the planned curb grade indicated by the offset guide line. The extrusion machine may be
operated on rails or forms set at uniform depth below the pre-determined finished top of curb
grade.
6. Concrete shall be fed uniformly to the machine. Concrete should be of such consistency that,
after extrusion, it shall maintain the shape of the curb section without support.
7. Prior to removal of the forms, the surface shall be finished true to grade using straight edge
float, not less than 3 m in length, operated longitudinally over the surface of the concrete. Form
clamps shall be so constructed as not to interfere with the operation of the float.
8. Immediately after removing the front curb forms, the face of the curb shall be troweled smooth
to a depth of not less than 50 mm below the flow line of the gutter, and then finished with a steel
trowel. The top surface shall be finished and the front and back edges rounded as shown on the
Contract Drawings.
9. After the face of the curb has been troweled smooth, it shall be given a final fine brush finish
with strokes parallel to the line of the curb.
10. The top and face of the finished curb shall be true and straight, and the top surface of the curb
shall be of uniform width, free from humps, sags, or other irregularities. When a straight edge 3 m
long is laid on the top or face of the curb, the surface shall not vary by more than 3 mm from the
edge of the straight edge, except at grade changes or curves.
11. Repairs shall be made by removing and replacing the entire unit between scoring lines or
joints for all non-conforming work.

F. Concrete Finish

1. After striking off and consolidating concrete, the exposed surface shall be smoothened by
screeding and floating. The float shall be adjusted to consolidate the surface and produce a
uniform texture.
2. After floating, the surface shall be tested for trueness with a 3 m straight edge. The concrete
shall be distributed as required to remove surface irregularities. The repair areas shall be re-
floated to provide a continuous and smooth finish.
3. The edges of gutter, back top edge of curb, and transverse joints shall be rounded to 6 mm
radius with an edging tool, unless otherwise indicated on the Contract Drawings.
4. After completion of floating, and when excess moisture or surface sheen has disappeared, the
surface finishing shall be completed in either of the following ways, as required by the Royal
Commission:
a) Broom finish by drawing a fine-hair broom across the concrete surface perpendicular to the
line of traffic. Repeat operation if required to provide a fine line texture acceptable to the Royal
Commission.
b) Trowel finish, which is smooth and free of trowel marks and is uniform in texture and
appearance.
5. The forms shall be left in place for at least 24 hours after concrete has been placed. After form
removal, ends of joints shall be cleaned and minor honeycombed surface areas should be
pointed. Areas or sections of major honeycombing should be removed and replaced as directed by
the Royal Commission.
6. The finished appearance of curbing shall be uniform in color. The Contractor shall clean all
discolored concrete. The concrete may be cleaned by abrasive blast cleaning or other methods
approved by the Royal Commission to provide uniform color.
