8.1.Filling & Compaction

The Slopes shall be formed below the PT Slab as a series of steps as shown below in Figure 1. The width and height of
these steps shall depend on the formwork design drawings.

Each step shall be filled in layers of a maximum depth of 200mm. Each layer shall be tested to 95% of compaction. Once
the layers have been built up to the required level and ITR shall be raised to confirm the alignment and the levels.
Anti-termite Treatment
below the SOG blinding, anti-termite treatment shall be done a few hours before the placement of the blinding concrete.
Care shall be taken to protect the treated soil using polythene sheets.
8.2.Blinding
1. On the polythene sheets level pads shall be made and offered for inspection to the Consultant along with the
complete preparation of concrete placement. Once the approval from the Consultant has been obtained the
concrete shall be placed.
8.3.Curing Waterproofing
2. Once the blinding has obtained its initial setting curing shall start and shall proceed for a day and then after
removing the surface moisture, the approved waterproofing system shall be applied to the blinding.
8.4.Block Work & Curing
1. The area for fixing block works shall be cleaned to remove any sand or debris.
2. 100 x 200 x 400mm size solid blocks shall be used. All blocks shall be fixed after soaking with water.
3. One layer of blocks shall be fixed as a layout and to be approved by the consultant.
4. Once layout approval is obtained the subsequent layers of blocks shall be laid to plumb taking care to align the
vertical joints of alternate courses.
5. Mortar shall be 1 part of cement, 3 parts of black sand.
6. Mortar joints shall be made uniform of thickness between 10mm and 15mm. Full bed and head joints shall be
provided.
7. Flush joints shall be formed for surfaces that will take waterproofing.
8.5.Waterproofing
1. When blocks are dry and ready to receive the water proofing bitumen paint, the Site Engineer shall be notified for
the application paint.
2. Application shall be in accordance with all requirements of work specification and the procedure of the
manufacturer.

drawings shall be submitted and approval received prior to starting the works. All Safety precautions shall be
followed during the assembly process. Inspections shall be carried out and checklists followed. (See Section 8)
2. Fixing Reinforcement
3. Once the formwork is inspected and approved by the Consultant the placement of the reinforcement for the Post
Tension slab and beams shall commence.

The L-bar shall be drilled and grouted, as shown above, using Fosroc Lokfix as per the attached data sheets.

As shown above, the placement of the U-bar shall be done with the slab reinforcement.
5. When the adjacent slab steel is ready to be tied, the beam steel shall be rechecked using the latest shop drawing
and any missing or loose bars shall be tied securely. The Slab reinforcement bars shall be fixed in accordance to
the approved shop drawings and project specifications. The quantity, bar splices, spacing, rebar sizes and bending
shall be verified. The fixing work shall be checked to ensure that all rebars were fixed properly in the proper
location.
6. Side form spacers used shall be concrete block spacers and their sizes shall vary as per concrete cover
requirement of steel. Sufficient bottom concrete spacers should be provided to maintain the concrete cover of
reinforcing bars. The rebars shall be tied manually using tie wires. Enough chair bars shall be provided to maintain
the correct distance between the top and bottom bars. The spacers shall be of sufficient strength to take the live
and loads during the installation and the casting phases.
7. Steel reinforcement shall be fixed for the pile head and the on-grade slab to be cast monolithically.
8. All MEP installations shall begin once the first layer of the reinforcement steel is in place. Requests shall be raised
to check the sizes, locations and levels of Electrical works and Mechanical works embedded items.
9. An air compressor shall be employed to clean the area and remove all the accumulated debris.
8.7.Pouring of Concrete
1. Upon receiving the ready mix concrete the regular sampling and testing procedures shall be followed.
2. Prior to pouring the approved bonding agent concrete or water-cement slurry shall be poured on the beam to act as
a bonding agent. Pouring/ Depositing of concrete shall be done by Contractor’s competent site personnel’s and
workers in accordance to the approved shop drawings and project specifications. Any concrete in the work which
has partly hardened or which has been contaminated with foreign objects shall not be used.
3. When pouring of concrete using concrete pump. Do not exceed 1.5m for vertical drop of concrete to prevent
segregation of concrete. Apply vibrators systematically, sufficient duration and intensity to compact the concrete
thoroughly. Avoid over vibration to prevent the concrete segregation. Maintain one spare vibrators for every three
vibrators used for in case of breakdown. Use ready mix concrete through-out and as per approved supplier and
mixed design by the Consultant.
8.8.Curing
1. Curing and protection of concrete shall comply with the guidelines given in the project specifications. Concrete
protection and curing shall be done in such a manner as to prevent the evaporation of moisture from the concrete
and injury of the surface. Immediately after the concrete has set, curing shall commence. As soon as the concrete
has stiffened sufficiently after not more than 24hrs, the surface shall be covered by absorptive mats of fabric and
kept continuously wet for 7 days. Any curing compound materials used for concrete curing is subject for approval of
the consultant.
