CODES / SPECIFICATION
IS 456, IS 516
RESPONSIBILITY
Responsibilities of all concerned is clearly mentioned with respect to overall administration and implementation in the approved Organogram.
MATERIALS TO BE USED
The materials to be used to the work shall be free from organic or other deleterious constituents and are as follows:
Ordinary Portland Cement
It is proposed to use Ordinary Portland Cement of 43 or 53 Grade. The cement shall be procured from reputed manufactures in bags of 50 kg each. The cement shall be stocked at raised platform in covered Cement Godown to protect it from moisture, sun and rain etc. The consumption of cement shall be done on first-in-first-out basis.
Testing of cement shall be done on regular basis to ensure quality as per requirement.
Crushed Stone Aggregates of various sizes and gradation
Coarse Aggregates shall be of clean, hard strong, dense, non-porous crushed stone of specified gradation. Initially the aggregates shall be purchased from market and later these shall be produced from Crusher setup for the project.
The aggregate shall be tested for all physical properties before incorporation in work.
Natural Sand
The Fine Aggregate shall consist of clean, hard, strong and durable pieces o crushed stone or natural sand from river bed. It shall be tested for Fineness Modulus, Silt Content, etc. before using in the works.
SAFETY REQUIREMENT
As per the requirement and the direction of HSE Officer.
DEPLOYMENT OF EQUIPMENT
As per the requirement and the direction of Project Manager.
DEPLOYMENT OF MANPOWER

IMPLEMENTATION
Mix Design:
Well before proposed start date for RCC works, Mix Design for all grades of concrete to be used in works shall be conducted in Field Laboratory as per approved Technical Specifications. The Mix Design shall be conducted in the presence of ADPL representatives. The Design Mix results shall be submitted to Structural Consultant for approval.
Alternately if the concrete is procured from RMC manufacturers the mix design furnished by them shall be reviewed by ADPL and finally approved by Structural Consultant.
Construction Operations:
Excavation dimension must be checked before start of P.C.C. and necessary shuttering must be done, if required.
Remove all loose earth from foundation pits before placing of P.C.C.
Ensure that measurement boxes are ready before starting this activity.
Take care to sprinkle water and ram manually in foundation pit before placing concrete.
Ensure availability of chute, panja, koba, etc before start.
Compaction of P.C.C. should be properly done to get smooth even levelling course. Loose coarse aggregate can be picked up from the surface.
The dimension of excavation has to be checked before start of PCC and necessary shuttering to be done if required.
Proper “thiyas” for level to be taken before start of work.

- The RCC shall be done throughout the length and width of structure to be constructed and shall conform to specified levels and grade providing firm foundation and level bed.
- Appropriate number of labourers shall be engaged to lay concrete and vibrators shall be used to have a uniform, homogeneous and compacted surface. Concrete shall not be freely dropped into place from a height exceeding 1.5m to avoid segregation of material.
- Casting of structures shall be done by placement of shuttering for foundation in line and level followed by reinforcement binding and concreting. All these works shall be executed as per the procedures and norms already laid down herein above.
- Construction Joints – Concrete shall be done with construction joints as suggested by the Structural Consultant.
- Other Activities: Curing
One or a combination of the following curing methods can be adopted depending on site conditions, availability of curing materials, type of job, economics etc. :
- Methods to prevent loss of water in concrete during the early stage of hydration by ponding, water spraying or saturated wet coverings.
- Methods to prevent loss of water in concrete by sealing the exposed surface i.e. covering the exposed surface with sheets of plastic or other impervious materials, applying membrane forming compounds etc.
- The curing period in ambient temperatures above 20o C should be for minimum 7 days, or the time necessary to attain 70 0/ of the specified compressive strength.
- The use of curing compounds are useful on vertical surfaces, or in the event of water shortage.
