of metallic spacers or stiffeners inside the formworks that could
displace the concrete or affect the concrete surface unless they have
plastic sleeves / casings and placed in a uniform position according to
the element to be casted.

8.4.1 Fabrication and erection of formworks

Either timber or steel may be used for formwork fabrication.

Formwork must be able to withstand the dead load of the
structure to be cast, the loads of the workers and fixed and mobile
equipment for concreting, as well as any other load or force.
Moreover, formwork shall be erected in such a way that plane
distortions and misalignments during concreting are prevented. In
particular, early stripping shall be possible, for horizontal structure
formwork, leaving the shoring props in place, in the required
number and locations, until the concrete supporting structure has
reached the strength specified. Timber formwork boards coming
in contact with concrete shall be assembled in such a way as to
obtain surfaces without defects and to avoid loss of mortar during
concreting. When required and authorized by CLIENT, plywood or
steel panels may be used if they are free of defects which could
damage the concrete surfaces. Boards and panels shall be
uniformly arranged in such a way that the joints between the
boards/panels run horizontally or vertically. The use of timber
spacers/ties to be left in the concrete is forbidden, such ties shall
be made of steel bars with blocks of concrete at the end so that
the steel bars do not project from the finished concrete surface, or
else they may be made of suitable plastic elements. Timber or
plastic chamfer strips (25 mm thick) shall be placed in the corners
of form to produce bevelled edges on permanently exposed
surfaces. To facilitate form removal, a release agent can be used
by applying a thin layer on the form surfaces.

8.4.2 Formworks for exposed concrete

For exposed concrete, smooth-surfaced forms shall be used,

made of dressed timber boards, with low resin content and free
of knots which may damage the finished concrete surfaces.
Timber or plastic chamfer strips (25 mm thick) shall be placed in
the corners of form to produce beveled edges.

8.4.3 Form removal

Forms can be removed only when the concrete is strong enough to

carry the structure loads and when the forms are no longer
necessary to improve concrete curing. In addition the formwork
shall remain in place for at least the number of days (calculated
from placement finishing date) required for each type of structure
by the legislation in force in the country where the works are
performed; a day is understood as an actual period of time of 24
 hours. Formwork shall be removed with appropriate care to
avoid shocks or impact loads, so that the structure, or part
thereof, is submitted to stress gradually, and damage to the
concrete surfaces is prevented. In particular, before any
formwork or part thereof is removed, the concrete placing record
shall be checked to ascertain the prevailing weather conditions
when the concrete was placed and during the curing period, and
any other relevant particular conditions.
The concrete curing time and the consequent formwork removal
dates shall be referred to normal placing and curing conditions,
otherwise it shall be extended as required. Upon completion of
form removal, all elements and parts of formworks shall be
stripped from concrete surfaces, as well as ties, temporary
fixings, etc.

9. QA/QC Requirement

9.1 Scope

Project Quality Plan (PQP) serves as the basis for addressing the contract
quality requirements, project execution instruction and to establish the
quality management system for complying with the quality requirements
on the Project. This Project Quality Plan (PQP) identifies the systems/
activities required, which are to be specified in the project procedures to
meet the requirements of the contract and serves as a reference for the
preparation of project procedures by CONTRACTOR. This includes
planning and performance of Project Quality Audits throughout the project
at all work locations, review and monitoring of vendor quality assurance
requirements, quality surveillance of any project related activities including
review of quality assurance and quality control activities of the project site
during construction.

9.2General Requirement

a. Inspection and Testing shall be carried out in order to adequately

demonstrate the suitability and acceptability of the material and
in accordance with approved QCP / ITPs.
b. The required inspection and testing for each activity will be
monitored by an authorized and certificated Contractor's QC Site
Inspector in accordance with approved QCP / ITP for General Earth
Work during construction
c. Quality records shall be complied and maintained at QC
department for final submission at the end of the project as per
handling over documentation
d. ITR (Inspection Test Records) shall be submitted to CLIENT
according to approved QCP / ITP above mentioned
e. All precautions and notes associated with soil works shall be
in accordance with Project Technical Specification
f. In place soil compaction tests and all materials shall be performed
by testing Basra university laboratory as approved by the Client

9.3 Concrete test

a. Concrete slump tests

Slump of the concrete sample shall be determined for each strength
test and whenever consistency appears to vary using ASTM C143.
b. Concrete strength tests
Sampling shall be in accordance with ASTM C172. Each sample shall
be obtained from a different batch of concrete on a random basis,
avoiding any selection of the test batch other than by a number
selected at random before of concrete placement. Mould and cure of
three specimens from each sample shall be in accordance with
ASTM C31. Specimens shall be tested in accordance with ASTM
C39.Two specimens shall be tested at 28 days for acceptance and
one shall be tested at 7 days for information.
The acceptance test results shall be the average of the strengths
of the two specimens tested at 28 days.
If one specimen shows evidence of improper sampling, moulding or
testing, it shall be discarded and the strength of the remaining cylinder
shall be considered the test result. Should both specimens in a test show
any of the above defects, the entire test shall be discarded? Samples for
strength tests of each class of concrete placed in each day shall be taken
not less than once a day, nor less than once for 100 m3 of concrete, nor
less than once for each 500 m2 of surface area of slabs or walls. When
the total quantity of concrete with a given mixture design is less than 50
m3, the strength tests may be waived by the CLIENT if, in his judgment,
adequate evidence of satisfactory strength is provided, such as strength
test results for the same kind of concrete supplied in the same day and
under comparable conditions
 to other work or other projects. On a given project, if total volume of
concrete is such that frequency of testing would provide less than
five strength tests for a given class of concrete, tests shall be made
from at least five randomly selected batches or from each batch if
fewer than five batches are used. The strength level of the concrete
will be considered satisfactory so long as the averages of all sets of
three consecutive strengths result falls above the specified strength
f'c, and no individual strength test result falls below the specified
strength f'c by more than 3.4N/mm².

Likelihood Rating Guidance Description
Likelihood Guidance Rating
Certain or Imminent
Harm from a hazard is certain or imminent if no control measures are provided at all and/or if one or more of the following factors also apply:-
a) the hazard is a cause of large numbers of injuries or ill health in national or location statistics e.g. cholera epidemic;
b) people are exposed to the hazard continuously e.g.. noise level above 85 dB; 5
c) the hazard is difficult to see e.g. oxygen deficiency.
d) safety is not considered high priority by those involved including manager and supervisors. e.g. non adherence to PTW.
Very Likely
Harm is very likely if the control measures provided depend on an individual using them on every occasion (e.g. personal protective equipment, PTW system) or if training and supervision are 4
minimal, and/or if one or more of the above factors are present.
Likely
Harm is likely if the control measures provided depend on an individual using them or adjusting them on every occasion (e.g. portable gas detectors, safe working procedures), or if training is 3
provided and work supervised, and/or if any of the factors given for certain or imminent harm also apply.
May Happen
Harm may happen if control measures include measures that do not depend on the operator but can break down or be removed or defeated (e.g. pressure safety valve), or if there is no defined
system of maintenance or supervision of the control measures. Other factors include hazards, which are a significant cause of injury or ill health, or those to which a number of people are often
2
exposed.
Unlikely
The circumstances under which harm may happen will reduce to harm being unlikely if there is a defined system of supervision and maintenance, or if training is provided and repeated regularly. 1
Other factors making harm unlikely include hazards which are a cause of few injuries or cases of ill health, or those to which a few people are occasionally exposed.
