2.1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY

The construction consists of a combination of precast concrete elements and in

situ concrete.
The precast component shall be produced by the precaster at the designated
factory and transport them to site where it will be used entirely for the purpose as
stipulated in the contract. The types of components to be cast and the location of
casting are indicated in the list of precast components.
The production works shall be executed based on plans and specifications that
were approved by the client.
Project quality plan shall be prepared by the Precaster to ensure the products
compliance to quality and standard. The plan shall describe the procedures,
guidelines and reporting methods to be followed in the fabrication works.

2.2. FORMWORK

The formwork for the precast element shall be made purposely of steel moulds.
The moulds shall be rigid and even and shall comply with the clients
specification and sufficiently designed to withstand the concrete pressure.
Form release agent shall be applied to the moulds before casting for ease of de-
molding.

2.3. STEEL REINFORCEMENTS

Reinforcing bars shall be from approved supplier or as designated by the client.

All reinforcements and wire meshes shall comply with SS560 and SS561
standards respectively.
Test and Mill Certificates for all the types of reinforcements shall be provided by

2.5. CONCRETE

Only the client approved concrete mix design shall be used for casting.
Concrete are supplied by factory in-house batching plant / RMC certified supplier
using the approved mix design.
The concrete shall be compacted using poker and mould vibrators.
Test cubes preparation and sampling rate shall be in accordance with the
requirements set by the client.
Extra cubes shall be made to determine the strength before de-molding.

2.6. FINISHING

The products surface shall be finished according to the clients requirement.

Pinholes and minor chipped-offs shall be sealed/patch-up using approved
materials.
Major damage shall be repaired according to the method stated in the Project
Quality Plan.

2.7. PROTECTION, LIFTING AND TRANSPORTATION

Precast elements shall only be lifted, turned, and/or transported when the
concrete has reached its sufficient strength. Extra test cubes shall be made to
monitor the strength of the concrete prior to lifting, turning and /or transporting.
On the precast factory, overhead cranes shall be used to lift the units.
The precast units will be transported over the road to site by trailers or lorry
cranes.
For some precast units, special spreader beams or frames might be required for
de-molding and handling.
