having regard to the proposed method of compaction. The slump and compacting factor, when
measured in accordance with ASTM C143, shall be within the range ± 25 mm and ± 0.03 respectively,
of the optimum values.
The trial mix proportions maybe provisionally approved on the basis of the 7 day Design Strength
results. However, it remains the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to ensure that the minimum
specified strength for each type of mix at 28 days will be achieved.
When the mix for each grade of concrete has been approved, no variation shall be made in the
proportions, the original source of cement or aggregate, or in the type, size and grading of the latter,
without the agreement of the COMPANY who may require further trial mixes to be prepared.
When the CONTRACTOR is satisfied by trial mixes or otherwise that he can achieve the performance
requirements of this Specification then he shall submit complete details of mixes and samples of fine
and course aggregates to the COMPANY for his examination and records.
No change shall be made to the mixes without the approval of the COMPANY. No concrete shall be
placed until such time as conclusive proof has been provided that the proposed mixes will produce

strength shall mean the compressive test of a 28 day laboratory-cured test specimen.
The selection, proportioning and mixing of concrete materials shall be such as to produce a mix which
works readily into corners and angles of the forms and around reinforcement with the method of
placement employed on the work, but without permitting the material to segregate or excess free water
to collect on the surface. Special mix proportions for pumped concrete shall be submitted to the
COMPANY as appropriate.

tremies, or chutes used to discharge concrete from a truck mixer. Hardened concrete and foreign
materials shall be removed from the inner surfaces of the conveying equipment.
Subgrade soils shall be free from foreign materials and covered by a 50 mm minimum thickness layer
of blinding concrete or by moisture barrier before placing concrete. Moisture barrier shall comply with
Section 9.9.2 of this specification. Unless noted on the design drawings, existing concrete surfaces,
against which fresh concrete will be placed, shall be roughened, thoroughly cleared of loose material
and wetted. Concrete shall be placed on a clean surface. Standing water shall be removed prior to
placement of concrete.
Prior to placing concrete the reinforcement shall be secured in place, the embedded items shall be
positioned and the interior of all forms shall be thoroughly cleaned and made free from all foreign matter
TEP-1183573-G99-0004 Page 24 of 38 Rev:02

and accumulated water. The interior of wooden forms shall be wetted prior to concrete placing. The
work shall be surveyed for level and location prior to the placing concrete. Survey shall include
embedded items, top of concrete, widths, heights and the like.
When deposited, concrete shall have a temperature not below 10°C and not above 32°C. When the
concrete have temperature above 32°C, hot weather concreting methods shall be followed.
Concrete that has achieved initial set or has been contaminated by foreign matter shall not be
deposited in the structure.
Re-tempering or addition of water after concrete is first mixed shall not be permitted. The addition of ice
at the construction site shall be permitted only if it has been considered in the mix design. The concrete
manufacturer shall provide written instructions on the required amount of ice and the mixing procedure.
Discharge of the concrete shall be completed within 45 minutes after the introduction of the mixing
water to the cement and aggregates or the introduction of the cement to the aggregates. This time may
be extended up to 90 minutes with authorization of the COMPANY’s engineer.
The interval between concrete deliveries shall be such that no more than 30 minutes interruption
elapsed during placement of a single foundation or slab, unless authorized by the COMPANY’s
engineer. The placement rate shall be such that the concrete will remain plastic at all times, and will
flow readily into all spaces between the reinforcing bars, etc. Once placement has started, it must be
carried out continuously until the placing of the concrete for that panel or section is completed or until a
suitable construction joint is reached. Concrete placing for large or lengthy foundations and structures
shall be so performed as to avoid cold joints.
To prevent segregation of the coarse aggregate, the free fall of concrete shall not exceed 1.8 m. When
the drop exceeds 1.8 m, access hatches, chutes, tremie, or elephant trunk shall be used. Temporary
openings should be provided for tall forms to reduce the drop height and to enable easy vibration.
When it is necessary to deposit concrete under water or in deep forms or excavations, tremies, chutes,
pumps, or other techniques shall be used to avoid segregation of the concrete materials.
Concrete shall be deposited as near as possible in its final position to avoid segregation due to re-
handling or flowing. Concrete shall not be allowed to flow laterally a distance of more than 1.5 m from
point of deposit. Raking shall not be used for movement of concrete after placement. To ensure
sufficient vibration, concrete shall be placed in horizontal layers not exceeding 0.6 m in depth. Inclined
layers and cold joints shall be avoided. For monolithic construction, each concrete layer shall be placed
while the underlying layer is still responsive to vibration, and layers shall be sufficiently plastic to permit
the two layers to be knitted by proper vibration.
Concrete shall be compacted by mechanical vibrators or by other means as authorized by ACI 301-05,
section 5.3.2.5 supplemented by hand spading, rodding or tamping. Equipment and procedure for
compaction of concrete shall be in accordance with ACI 309R. Unless otherwise specified, all concrete
shall be thoroughly compacted by vibrators during placing. Internal vibrators shall have a minimum
frequency of 8000 vibrations per minute and sufficient amplitude to consolidate the concrete effectively.
Vibrators shall be inserted and withdrawn at points approximately 450 mm apart. The duration of each
insertion shall be sufficient to consolidate the concrete but not sufficient to cause segregation, generally
from 5 to 15 seconds. The vibrators shall penetrate a minimum of 150 mm into the preceding layers.
The vibrators shall be inserted in a vertical direction into the concrete, and care shall be taken to ensure
that the concrete is thoroughly worked around the reinforcement, anchor bolts and other embedded
items, and into the comers of the forms to eliminate any air and stone pockets which may cause
honeycombing, pitting, or planes of weakness. A proper number of spare vibrators shall always be kept
at the site during all concrete placing operations. Contact of vibrators with reinforcement or formwork
shall be avoided. Vibrators shall not be used to move concrete inside forms. Vibrating screeds used for
concrete slabs shall be of sufficient power to compact the full depth over the length of the screed.
At all times when reinforced concrete is being placed, a competent steel fixer shall be in continuous
attendance on the concreter’s, he shall adjust and correct the position of any reinforcement which may
be displaced. Slabs shall be placed in alternating strips. Concrete for drilled piers shall be placed before
the end of the day the piers are drilled.
Anchor bolt threads spattered with concrete shall be cleaned during or immediately following the pour.
Concrete shall not be placed during rain unless adequate protection of the concrete is provided during
mixing, transporting and placing until it has hardened sufficiently so that it will not be damaged and
subject to COMPANY’s approval.

10.9 Surface Finishing

Unless otherwise specified in the contract documents, the surface finish and correlating tolerance
requirements shall be in accordance with ACI 301. Unless otherwise required on the design drawings,
concrete surfaces shall be finished as Table 4.
Finish to be provided shall be as called for on the drawings and shall conform to the following
requirements.
1. Screed finish shall be provided by screeding to the required level with a straight edge only.
2. Wood Float finish shall be provided by screeding to the required level with a straight edge and after
the water sheen has disappeared, the surface shall be floated with wood floats.
3. Steel trowel finish shall be finished by tamping the concrete with a wire mesh tamper to depress the
coarse aggregate sufficiently to bring the matrix fines to the surface, then screeding and striking with
straight edges to bring the surface to the required finished level. While the concrete is still green, but
sufficiently hardened to bear a man's weight without excessive imprint, it shall be floated either by hand
or mechanical means to a true, even plane, with no coarse aggregate visible. Sufficient pressure shall
be used on the float to bring moisture to the surface. After surface moisture has disappeared, the
surface shall be machine or hand troweled to a smooth, even finish.
4. Heavy broomed finish for vehicular traffic is to have a wood or metal float finish, followed by
brooming with a heavy broom, producing patterns perpendicular to traffic.
5. Light broomed finish for foot traffic is to receive a wood or metal float finish, followed by brooming
before the concrete has thoroughly hardened, with a steel wire or light broom in a direction
perpendicular to the main line of traffic. The depth of scoring shall not exceed 3 mm
6. Surfaces indicated to have abrasive finishing shall be finished as specified for trowel finish,
immediately following which, an abrasive material shall be evenly applied to the surface at a rate of
not less than 0.1 kg of abrasive material to each square foot of surface. The surfaces shall then be
hand steel troweled.
7. Top surfaces of concrete below finished grade shall be screeded to the specified elevation, tamped
with a grid tamper and given a wood float finish.
8. Unless otherwise specified on drawings, top surfaces of concrete foundations on which grout will be
installed shall be rough-finished to an elevation of 25 mm to 75 mm below finished elevation.
9. When concrete is to be left with the surface finish imparted to it by the forms, objectionable
irregularities shall be removed. No finish is required for surfaces exposed to forms other than
patching of surface defects.

10.10 Curing and Protection

Unless otherwise specified in this specification or in the contract documents, concrete shall be cured
and protected in accordance with ACI 301-05, section 5.3.6. Curing to maintain a satisfactory moisture
content and concrete temperature shall be performed using the applicable methods and procedures
recommended in ACI 305R, ACI 306R, and ACI 308.
Beginning immediately after placement, concrete shall be protected from premature drying, excessively
hot temperatures, and mechanical injury, and shall be maintained with minimal moisture loss at a
relatively constant temperature for the period necessary for hydration of the cement and hardening of
the concrete.
In hot weather, necessary arrangements shall be made in advance for protective measures needed to
prevent rapid drying of the concrete. These protective measures shall be started as quickly as finishing
and hardening will allow.
The temperature of the concrete shall also be prevented from rising above 70oF (21oC) during the
curing period.
10.10.1 Curing / Moisture Retention

For concrete surfaces not in contact with forms, one of the following procedures shall be applied
immediately after completion of placement and finishing:
Ponding or continuous sprinkling.
 Application of absorptive mats or fabric kept continuously wet.
 Application of sand kept continuously wet.
 Application of sheet materials conforming to ASTM C171. The sheets shall be lapped not less than
100 mm at edges and ends and be sealed with adhesive or pressure sensitive tape no less than 40
mm in width. The membrane shall be weighted to prevent displacement. Holes appearing in the
membrane during curing period shall be immediately patched. The membrane shall remain intact
for not less than the curing period.
 Application of other acceptable moisture-retaining covering.
 Application of a curing compound conforming to ASTM C 309.
The curing water used in the above methods shall be clean and free of contaminating substances that
will discolour the concrete.
Moisture loss from surfaces placed against wooden forms or metal forms exposed to heating by the sun
shall be minimized by keeping the forms wet until they can be safely removed. After form removal the
concrete shall be cured until the end of the curing time by one of the above methods.
Curing in accordance with this section shall be continued for at least 7 days in the case of all concrete
except high-early-strength concrete, for which the period shall be at least 3 days.
Abrupt changes in the temperature of the concrete shall be prevented.
Concrete not in contact with forms may utilize any of the methods indicated in ACI 301-05, section
5.3.6.4, for the preservation of moisture. However, for interior concrete slabs, ponding, sprayed water,
or wet sand shall not be permitted.
Unless otherwise specified in the contract documents, liquid membrane curing compounds shall not be
used on surfaces that shall receive bonded treatments, tiles, paint or other adhered finishes, epoxy
toppings, or additional concrete.
Curing of precast concrete sections by high pressure steam, steam vapour, or other means to
accelerate the hardening of concrete shall not be permitted unless authorized by COMPANY in writing.
Exposed concrete surfaces and formed concrete stripped earlier than 7 days after pouring shall be
treated with a concrete curing compound acceptable to COMPANY.
Where an interior slab receives no other covering or topping, it shall be coated with an acceptable
curing hardening compound applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
TEP-1183573-G99-0004 Page 27 of 38 Rev:02

Any structure designated as a hydraulic structure in the contract documents shall comply with the
following:
 Hydraulic structures shall be cured by a wet-cure procedure only (e.g., use of ponding, sprinkling,
or a moisture-retaining covering).
 Moist wood forms in contact with concrete shall not be considered as curing for hydraulic
structures.
 Curing shall occur for a minimum of 14 days.
 Wall forms shall be loosened and water continually sprinkled between the wall and forms.
Moist Curing - Unformed surfaces shall be covered with burlap, cotton, or other acceptable fabric mats
kept in intimate contact with the concrete or with clean sand and shall be kept continuously wet for the
duration of the curing period.
 Surfaces cured with sand shall be covered with a minimum uniform thickness of 50 mm of sand.
 Where formed surfaces are cured while still in the forms, the forms shall be kept wet continually.
 If the forms are removed before the end of the curing period, curing shall continue as for unformed
surfaces.
 Burlap shall be used only on surfaces to be unexposed in the finished work.
 Concrete shall be protected from the direct rays of the sun during the first 3 days of the curing
period.
Membrane Curing - Concrete may be cured with a curing compound of the surface membrane type in
lieu of moist curing with water.
 The curing compound shall be applied to formed surfaces immediately after the forms have been
removed and the surface defects have been repaired.
 The curing compound shall be applied to unformed surfaces immediately after finishing.
 The surfaces shall be thoroughly covered with the curing compound applied in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
 Concrete surfaces which are subjected to heavy rainfall within 3 hours after the curing compound
has been applied shall be retreated.
10.10.2 Protection from Mechanical Injury

The concrete shall be protected from damaging mechanical disturbances, such as load stresses, heavy
shock, and excessive vibration. All finished concrete surfaces shall be protected from damage by
construction equipment, materials, or methods, by application of curing procedures, and by rain or
running water. Self-supporting structures shall not be loaded in such a way as to overstress the
concrete.
During the curing period, the concrete shall be protected from damage by construction equipment,
materials, rain, running water, heavy shock, and vibration.
10.11 Repair of Surface Defects

Defects of concrete such as honeycombing, cracking or condition(s) detrimental to strength, stability,
durability and water tightness of the concrete shall be repaired immediately after form removal per ACI
301, Section 5.3.7 or by approved repair procedure. All defects shall be removed down to a sound
surface. Curing procedures shall not be delayed or interrupted while making repairs.
Unless otherwise specified or permitted by the COMPANY’s engineer, fins, tie holes, honeycombs, and
other concrete surface defects shall be repaired promptly after form removal at a time and in a manner
that shall not delay, interfere with, or impair the proper curing of the fresh concrete. Defective areas
such as honeycomb shall be cut back to sound material before repair.
The COMPANY’s engineer shall be notified before proceeding with repair if the defect is either of the
following sizes:
TEP-1183573-G99-0004 Page 28 of 38 Rev:02

 Depth is greater than 75 mm at the maximum point and surface area is greater than 100,000
square mm.
 Depth is greater than 1/4 the thickness of the member and greater than 150 mm in any other
direction.
Pre-packaged grouts and patching compounds or a patching mortar similar to the concrete mix without
coarse aggregate may be used with approval from COMPANY’s engineer. The patching material shall
match the colour of the original concrete as closely as possible. One-third of the gray cement may be
replaced with white Portland Cement to help in getting a colour match.
Out-of-tolerance slabs shall be repaired by grinding down high points and/or raising low points by using
a specified underlayment compound or repair topping if the areas are exposed.
Critical slab areas, identified in the contract documents shall be replaced if out-of-tolerance. A
demolition and replacement plan for the slab areas shall be submitted to the COMPANY’s engineer for
review and approval before proceeding.
Holes left by the withdrawal of tie-rods shall be filled solidly with cement mortar and be made flush with
the adjoining surface. It is recommended to refrain from using hole-through tie rods for liquid retaining
structures.
10.12 Hot Weather Concreting

During hot weather, proper attention shall be given to ingredients, production methods, handling,
placing, protection, and curing to prevent excessive concrete temperatures or water evaporation that
could impair required strength or serviceability of the member or structure.
Concrete work is significantly affected by high temperatures in the concrete and in the air, or by a low
relative humidity, or by a high wind velocity. If these conditions are prevalent, the concrete work shall be
carried out in accordance with the requirements of ACI 305R. Where the concrete temperature exceeds
32°C, necessary preventive measures, as noted below, shall be taken. However, if the rate of
evaporation from the concrete surface as determined by ACI 305R is less than 9.6 N/m2/h that no
preventive measures are required even when the concrete temperature exceeds 32°C. In no case shall
the concrete temperature exceed 38°C. Exceeding the limiting water-cement ratio in order to have
sufficient slump for placing at concrete temperatures between 32°C and 38°C shall not be permitted.
Instead, the preventive measures noted below will be used to increase the slump.
The following preventive measures shall be taken to avoid the adverse effects of hot weather
1. The formwork and steel reinforcement shall be continuously sprayed with cold water in advance of
the concreting and excess water shall be removed from the inside of the forms immediately prior to
the placement of the concrete.
2. The reinforcement, and the formwork if metal forms are used, shall be protected from the effects of
hot winds and direct sunlight.
3. Suitable barriers shall be provided to protect the freshly placed concrete from wind, until the
concrete has hardened sufficiently to allow it to be covered.
4. Adding water-reducing and retarding admixture to concrete.
5. Using chilled water for mixing.
6. Painting storage facilities, batching plants, pipes, and agitating trucks white or silver and/or
insulating the same.
7. Keeping the transportation time to a minimum.
8. Checking mixer drums and blades frequently during hot weather, and ensuring that the interior of the
mixer is free of any accumulated matter that will interfere with the mixing action.
9. Providing sufficient equipment and workers to ensure quick placing and finishing, and so as to avoid
cold jointing and plastic shrinkage cracking. All plans for the arrangement of the equipment and
workers shall be submitted to COMPANY for approval.
10. Using a white pigmented material when a curing compound is applied.
11. Shading materials and facilities from the direct rays of the sun.
TEP-1183573-G99-0004 Page 29 of 38 Rev:02

When the above measures are considered insufficient to avoid the adverse effects of hot weather, the
following additional measures may be taken:
1. Carrying out concrete placing in the evening, at night, or in the early morning
2. Spraying water onto the aggregate and considering new w/c ratio on design mix (Any water in the
aggregate must be accounted for in the water-cement ratio).
3. Providing wind breaks during concrete placing
4. Using flaked ice as a part of the mixing water
10.13 Grouting
Grout thickness for column base plates and equipment supports shall be as shown in the contract
documents.
10.13.1 Type and Usage

The grouting type to be used, i.e epoxy grout, non‐shrink grouts, or standard portland cement grouts,
shall be in accordance with the contract documents. If the grouting type is not noted on the design
drawings or equipment vendor drawings, the usage of grouting type shall refer to TEP-900-DBS-CV-
BP4-0001 “Onshore Civil and Structural Design Basis”.
10.13.2 Preparation
Foundation preparation shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions. Foundations
shall be suitably prepared before installation of formwork for grout. Concrete foundation shall be cured
for a minimum of 7 days before surface preparation unless otherwise approved by COMPANY. Heavy
equipment shall not be set on foundations, nor grouting placed, before10 days after concreting the
foundations.
Concrete surfaces shall be prepared for grouting by chipping back to sound concrete or fractured
aggregate. The surface shall be cleaned of all laitance, grease, oil, and dirt or loose aggregate
removed prior to setting levelling plates.
All levelling plates shall be set to the proper elevation. The number and type of levelling plates should
be determined in accordance with the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer or other project
documents.
Concrete surfaces on which cement-based grout is to be placed shall be cleaned by vacuum cleansing,
or by blowing with compressed air. The surface shall then be scrubbed with clean water until the
puddles in the irregularities are clear. Scrubbing shall be done with fibre brushes only. All dirt and water
shall be removed from the anchor bolts holes. Concrete surfaces in contact with the grout shall be
saturated with clean water before grout placement. The surface of the concrete shall be damp but free
from standing water. All standing water shall be removed from anchor bolt sleeves.
Metal surfaces in contact with the grout shall be clean and free of oil and grease, and other foreign
substances. The presence of tightly bonded paints is not objectionable.
The formwork shall be constructed with adequate strength, rigidity, and dimension to permit grout
placement. Forms shall be of adequate strength to withstand the horizontal forces of the fluid grout, and
shall be caulked or sealed with tape to prevent excessive leakage. A bond breaker consistent with the
manufacturer’s recommendations shall be applied to the surface of the formwork in contact with the
grout. Forms shall not be butted against a base plate or equipment base but shall allow at least 25 mm
of space all around. The top of the forms shall be a minimum of 25 mm above the bottom of the
adjacent base plate. Forms shall have a chamfer strip attached where a chamfered edge is required.
Joints in grout shall be as located and shown in the contract documents or as recommended by the
grout manufacturer.
routing shall not be carried out until steelwork or equipment has been finally levelled and plumbed, the
bases being supported meanwhile by steel shims.
TEP-1183573-G99-0004 Page 30 of 38 Rev:02

10.13.3 Installation of Grout

Grout shall be mixed, placed, and cured in strict accordance with manufacturer’s written requirements.
For some grouts, particular installation methods are restricted or prohibited by the grout manufacturer.
The CONTRACTOR shall read, understand, and comply with the manufacturer’s instructions as printed
on each unit. Grout shall be stored, mixed, placed, and cured at temperature ranges that are consistent
with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Grout may be dry packed, flowed, or pumped into place as
permitted by the manufacturer’s written instructions for the specific grout being installed. Re-tempering
of grout by adding water after stiffening is not permitted.
All grout shall be placed in only one direction to prevent trapping air. Grouting shall be quick and
continuous to avoid segregation, bleeding, or premature initial set.
The grout shall be cut back to the lower edge of the baseplate after it has reached its initial set. The
cutback shall be at a 45° angle, unless otherwise indicated in the contract documents.
If grout must be placed through grout holes, it shall be placed from one hole continuously until the grout
has passed a second hole. A liquid head pressure shall be maintained at the first access hole until a
head pressure has been established at the next hole. Grout placement shall continue from the next hole
in a similar fashion. Special care shall be taken to ensure that sleeves or bedding holes around anchor
bolts are completely filled with grout before placing grout under base plates.
Packers and shims used to level vibrating machinery, such as compressors and heavy pumps shall be
removed after the grout has set. The resulting pocket is to be made good with similar grout.
10.13.4 Installation of Epoxy Grout

Epoxy materials shall be mixed in a well-ventilated area, making certain that vapours are not inhaled or
that the materials do not come in contact with skin and eyes.
All epoxy grout components shall be conditioned to a temperature range between 21oC to 30oC prior to
mixing. The entire hardener shall then be added to the entire resin component and thoroughly mixed for
2 to 3 minutes with a low speed mixer. Mixed resin and hardener shall then be put into a clean mortar
mixer or wheelbarrow and the entire bag of aggregate added. Mix until aggregate is completely wetted.
Nothing else shall be added to the mixture. Mixing shall be adjacent to area being grouted, with
sufficient manpower and equipment available for rapid and continuous mixing and placing. Grout shall
not be mixed in quantities larger than that which can be placed during the working time specified herein.
Epoxy grout has a limited working time after mixing. The placing of grout shall be performed only during
the specified working time and any unused grout remaining beyond this time shall be discarded.
When placing epoxy grout, the temperature of the foundation, base plate and grout material shall be
within the temperature range of 5oC to 32oC as determined by a surface thermometer.
Epoxy grout shall be placed from one long side of an equipment base to the other, in one direction only.
The grout shall be poured into a movable head box having an inclined plane to direct the grout beneath
the equipment base in a manner that minimizes trapped air and bubble formation. The head box
should be about a 1 m cube to allow large volumes of grout to be poured continuously. The use of
vibrators is not permitted.
The use of steel straps is permitted to move grout into position but chaining is not permitted because of
air entrapment between the links. Pumping epoxy grout is permitted and eliminates the requirement for
a head box.
Epoxy grout placing shall be continued until it oozes out along the entire perimeter and up through
every interior air relief hole and grout holes. An exception occurs when grouting such equipment as
pumps having an elevated interior base plate. In these situations, fill under the entire equipment base
to the top of the exterior base plate and then stop grouting for a short period of time to allow the grout to
seal the periphery and then complete the grouting through one of the interior grout holes.
Expansion joints shall be installed in epoxy grout placements of long length or large area.
Finishing and curing shall be in strict accordance with the manufacturer's printed instructions.
Epoxies cannot be trimmed after set. They must be left at the finished level with required chamfer strips
built into the forms. Top surfaces may be trowelled with a steel trowel moistened with oil. All further
TEP-1183573-G99-0004 Page 31 of 38 Rev:02

finishing will require grinding. The epoxy grout shall be maintained within the placing temperature range
for a minimum of 24 hours after placing. Epoxy grout shall not wet-cured.
10.13.5 Installation of Non-shrink Grout

Mixing and placing of non-shrink grout shall be in accordance with grout Manufacturer's instructions. All
voids shall be eliminated. Precautions shall be taken to ensure that the temperatures of grout,
foundation concrete and baseplates are kept within the range instructed by the manufacturers.
A seal cap of sand-cement mortar shall be added around the non-shrink grout edges, to avoid
deterioration of non-shrink grout.
10.13.6 Installation of Standard Portland Cement Grout

Ingredients shall be thoroughly dry-mixed before adding water. Water-Cement Ratio shall be 0.4 or
less. After adding water, the batch shall be mixed for 3 to 5 minutes. Batches shall be sized to allow
continuous placement of freshly mixed grout. Grout not used within 1 hour after mixing shall be
discarded.
Grout shall not normally be vibrated, tamping only is permitted.
Grout shall slope downward and outward at 45 degrees from inside lower edge of plate.
When placing grout, the temperature of the foundation, base plate and grout material shall be within the
temperature range of 5oC to 32oC as determined by a surface thermometer. This temperature shall be
maintained for 3 days following grouting.
11 Protection of Underground Concrete
11.1 General
Concrete shall be made so that it will perform satisfactorily when exposed to various atmospheric
conditions, to waters and soils containing chemicals, and to other kinds of chemicals. Chemical attack
on concrete is generally the result of exposure to sulphates or acids. Such environmental conditions
shall be taken into consideration for concrete mix designs and application of protective coatings on
concrete surfaces to ensure the required durability of concrete. Coating extent for underground
foundations shall be as shown on drawings.
11.2 Material
Asphalt, coal tar, coal tar epoxy, bituminous based coating materials are acceptable for concrete
surfaces contacting soil. Surface coating materials and application to underground foundations shall

2. A minimum of 3 specimens shall be moulded and cured in accordance with the requirements of
ASTM C 31.
3. Compressive strength tests of cylinders shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of
ASTM C 39. These cylinders shall be tested as follows:
 One at 7 days for information
 Two at 28 days for determining acceptability of concrete strength
Evaluation and acceptance of concrete shall be in accordance with ACI 318.
Samples shall be taken from each complete pour for individual foundations or structures supporting
main processing units, heavy mechanical equipment, buildings, storage tanks, and from other important
concrete structures. At least two samples shall be taken from each full days concreting or not less than
required by the following.
Table 10 - Number of Samples to be Taken
No No. of Cubic Meters in Any Individual No. of Samples to be Taken

Foundation or Structure
(3 Cylinders per Sample)
1 0 – 38 One for each 20 cubic meters
2 39 - 150 One for each 40 cubic meters
3 151 - 270 One for each 60 cubic meters
13.2.3 Air Content Test

Air content tests shall be performed when the concrete samples are taken, and in accordance with the
requirements of ASTM C 138, ASTM C 173, or ASTM C 231. Determine temperature of concrete
sample for each strength test.
13.2.4 Reinforcement Test
The CONTRACTOR shall cut samples from any of the reinforcing bars or fabric and shall dispatch such
samples for testing, as the COMPANY may from time to time direct. Minimum sample length shall be
600 mm or 20 times the bar diameter whichever is greater.
13.2.5 Water Filling Test for Concrete Ponds/Pits
For concrete ponds/pits that are designed to retain contaminated water such as oil and chemicals, a
water-filling test shall be carried out before back filling of the pond. A water-filling test is not required for
seawater or cleans water ponds unless the high water level is higher than ground elevation. Water
shall be filled to the design high water level, a minimum of 24 hours before the inspection is due.
Concrete ponds shall be back filled only after obtaining the approval COMPANY.
The acceptance criterion for water-filling test is that no water leak is observed on the external surface of
the concrete pit. If the leakage is found, the defected parts shall be repaired according to the section
10.11 above, then inspect the parts again until no leakage is observed. Fresh water shall be used for
the test.
13.2.6 Test Report
All test report shall be submitted to COMPANY upon completion of test.
13.3 Concrete Not Meeting Specification

When cylinder test reports are unsatisfactory regarding the specified strength, the CONTRACTOR may
order :
1. A series of rebound hammer tests taken at locations directed by the CONTRACTOR's in accordance
with ASTM 805. Correlation between strength and rebound number shall be carried out using 150
mm x 300mm cylinder of the same concrete Mix Reference as the suspect concrete.
TEP-1183573-G99-0004 Page 36 of 38 Rev:02

2. Core samples be taken of the concrete placed and tested in accordance with ASTM C42/C42M. A
cover meter shall be used to determine locations where coring will cause least damage to
reinforcement. Core holes in concrete which is to remain in the Works shall be repaired by filling with
concrete or mortar of the strength specified for the surrounding concrete.
If the test reports are still unsatisfactory, defective material shall, if required CONTRACTOR may take
one of the following actions, all at the expense of the SUBCONTRACTOR ( USI Concrete Supplier ) :
1. Instruct that the section be cut out and replaced.
2. Instruct the SUBCONTRACTOR ( USI Concrete Supplier ) to carry out work or strengthen in an
acceptable manner to ensure the soundness of the structure.
3. Accept the work at a reduced price.
Following the failure of concrete to reach the required standard the SUBCONTRACTOR ( USI Concrete
Supplier ) shall take one or both of the following steps:
1. Alter the methods of making concrete so as to reduce its variability.
2. Alter the proportions of the concrete mix to increase its compressive strength to meet the
requirements.
