5. Polythene sheet
6. Waterproofing Materials
Note: Quantity of manpower, materials and equipments shall be submitted on the daily progress report.

9. PROCEDURE
9.1.General
1. PCC shall be placed under pile caps, raft and any structure that shall be placed on grade.
2. The surveyor shall provide all the levels and confirm that the fixed levels are matching with approved construction
drawings.
3. The soil shall be levelled compacted to 95% and trimmed to the required level.
4. RFIA will be raised to the consultant for the inspection for the compacted soil. Sample will be taken and send to the
laboratory for the compaction test.
5. After the satisfactory test result for the compaction Sub base will be laid to a thickness of 250mm and compacted.
RFIA will be raised to the consultant for the inspection for the compacted soil
6. Formwork usually with square timber of 75mm x 75mm will be laid at the edge of the PCC and secured.
7. Level pads shall be made from 1:3 cement–sand mortars to maintain the required top level. At no location shall the
thickness of the PCC slab be less than the specified thickness.
8. Anti-termite treatment is done properly before commencing the blinding concrete works.
9. The whole area shall be covered with 1000 gauge polythene sheet prior to start blinding concrete works.
10. PCC Placement
The blinding concrete shall be placed using a concrete pump. If the PCC is required to be placed in a large area than it
shall be placed in panels of size not exceeding 5000x5000mm. Panel casting sequence shall be to cast alternate panels
first and then to go back and cast the skipped ones.
