Inserts, Embedded Parts , And Openings

A free flowing non-shrink grout, suitable for application at high ambient temperatures,
shall be used. The material shall be obtained from manufacturer approved by the
Engineer. The soffit of box-out shall be inclined to guarantee a complete grouting over
the entire width of wall or slab to be grouted.
For box-out in water retaining structures (e.g., manholes excluded) a perforated flexible
hose, especially designed to enable injection of sealing material at joints between the
surface of box-out and grouting material, as well as between the pipe barrel and grouting
material, shall be installed. Both ends of the hose shall be brought to the accessible
surface of the wall and shall be plugged. After the grout has set, but not before 21 days
after casting, water shall be injected into the hose and a pressure of z 2 bar be applied
and kept for 24 hours. Should water appear on the concrete surface a cement milk slurry
shall be injected with a pressure of 12 bar. Immediately after injection the hose shall be
flushed out with clean potable water. After 48 hours the water test shall be repeated. If
necessary the injection of cement milk shall be repeated until satisfactory results are
obtained.
To ensure a proper surfaces at sleeves a special plug, providing chamfer 1.5 x 1.5 cm at
the outer rim of the sleeve shall be inserted into sleeve prior to closing formwork Joints at
the surface of plug shall be sealed by masking tape to prevent seepage Of cement milk .
Formwork Tolerances

 Subject to the following permissible tolerances the concrete works shall dimensions,
shapes, positions and levels:
o Levels and Position: Top of blinding layer ±0 to -10 mm, top of slabs beams 4mm
when checked with a 2 m straight edge.

 Plumb Alignment on Appearance: The plumb alignment for walls and columns shall not
exceed +/- 0.1 % and the vertical surfaces of walls shall be smooth and flush, with
differences on the surface not exceeding 2 mm when measured with a 2 m straight-edge.
The difference in surfaces of exposed slabs shall not exceed +/- 3 mm when measured
with the 4 m straightedge. The dimensions may vary between 0 mm and +10 mm without
being rejected.
Separate Floor Toppings

a) Prior to placing floor topping, roughen substrate concrete surface and remove
deleterious material. Broom and vacuum clean.

b) Place required dividers, edge strips, reinforcements and other items to be cast in.
c) Apply bonding agent to substrate in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
d) Place concrete floor toppings to required lines and levels. Place topping in
checkerboard panels, dimensions not to exceed 6 m.
