4.2 Reinforcement
·         The rebar diameter, number, spacing and lap length are to be as per the approval drawing and bar bending schedule.
·         Adequate concrete cover to be maintained on all rebars.
·         Reinforcement should be installed as given in the drawings being careful to maintain the specified cover, Lap length, Spacing.
·         The line and level of rebar is to be checked prior to casting
·         The rebar will be fixed in such a manner that its stability is assured in all respect.
·         After the installation they should be check and approved by the consultant engineer before placing the concrete.
·         The area will be cleaned thoroughly by handpicking debris, blowing out sand if any with a compressed hose.

4.3 Formwork
·         For fixing bottom formwork of beams, beam bottom levels shall be measured from offline to structural floor level marked on column and position of beam shall be measured from the grid line marked on columns faces & on floor slab.

·         All material use for temporary form works should be cleaned and clear from any deflection


·         Shutters will be treated with shutter releasing agent to enable easier stripping.
·         Place formwork and supports to its dimensions correctly and ensure that lines and levels are within the tolerances.
·         All formwork shall be erected and placed in accordance with the construction drawings. The placement of the formwork should be accurate. U jack ,T jack and Acro Jack arrangements shown in drawing shall be properly manage to avoid deflection in beams, slab and near to construction joints. (Refer SKRD /SK/SBS/09)


·         Top levels of Jacks shall be places +5mm to require level and it shall be checked and adjusted to required level while concreting for avoid deflection.
·         Formwork for walls and elsewhere shall be arranged for height of as instructed by the consultant for a single pour. Where necessary panel openings are to be provided in the forms for cleaning, inspection, access of vibrators etc.
·         Before placing of concrete ties and fixings shall be positioned and all openings, holes, pockets shall be fixed to the formwork carefully.
·         Before placing concrete make sure the formwork joints and the minor gaps are properly sealed by checking  Level of bottom forms , Spacing of support, Sectional dimensions, Gaps between form panels , Cleaning of forms panels & construction joint , Tightening of support and bracing
·         Formwork should be removed in such a manner that no shock or damage shall result to the concrete.
·         Construction joint shall be formed vertically, horizontally using plywood, 2”x 2”and 1”x 2” timber. Loose aggregate and cement grout will be chipped off after removing stopped boards. Nitobond SBR emulation Which is equivalent emulation to Barra Emulation, shall be used for all the vertical construction joints according to manufactures Specification (Due to unavailability of Barra Emulation in Finco Stocks. Manufactures Data Sheet of  Nitobond SBR is attached herewith.)
·         Shear keys will be provided at construction joints where slab thickness greater than 200m.
·         Formwork Shall not be removed until the concrete has acquired sufficient strength to support safely its own mass and any superimposed load without exceeding acceptable deflection


·         Formwork stripping without admixtures shall be done according to following table to avoid thermal cracks ,shrinkage cracks and cracks due to deflection while removing formwork support

·         Formwork stripping of Member type Vertical & Unloaded (Wall, Column, and Beam Side) shall be done in 12 hours using admixtures.
·         Re stripping formworks within the tolerance limits of gradual irregularities and abrupt irregularities shall be sampling as Class S1, S2, S3 and S4 according to Project Specification.

4.3 Concrete placing, compaction and finishing
·         All surfaces shall be cleared thoroughly.
·         Appropriate arrangement and approval for pouring concrete shall be obtained from consultant.
·         Pump car or Tower crane will be used as per site condition.
·         Target slump will be maintained as per the approved mix design.
·         Concrete, during and immediate after depositing, shall be thoroughly compacted. The compacting shall be done by mechanical vibrator.
·         Pouring height should not exceed more than 1.5m to prevent segregation.
When this height exceeds the 1.5m there are two procedures need to be practiced.
Ø  Lowered the concrete pump car boom outlet into the concrete element.
Ø  Make a pocket in a lower height than 1.5m in concrete element. Once concrete filled up to that close the pocket and pour the concrete for remaining height.  
·         Concrete shall be placed in the forms as close as possible to its final position in a single operation to the full thickness of slabs and beams.
·         The Concrete in-charge shall organized the pouring of concrete in such a manner that once concreting of a section has started the operation shall be continuous and each operation shall be completed prior to a stoppage.
·         Construction joints shall be provided and the concrete shall be poured continuously between two adjacent joint.
·         Adequate illumination shall be provided during night concreting.
·         Wet curing with water shall be carried out to keep the concrete in contact with water once the concrete has set. Concrete curing shall be carried out as specified and wet gunny bags shall be used for curing vertical concrete surfaces and continuous wetting with water shall be done for floor slab curing.
·         Curing shall be continued for minimum of 7 days according to Project Specification.
·         Surface defects if any corrected as per the engineer instruction.
