There will be no retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith about any

any separate contract schedule provision for removal or shrubs, loose stones and
digging of ant hills, involved in the preparation of bed, the contract rate for earth
work shall be deemed to include all the work to be done in accordance with this
clause. In cases where the work of preparation or bed is rather extensive, the Project
Managerwill usually provide a separate schedule item for such preparation, but in the
absence of such schedule provision, the contractor shall understand that his tender
rate is inclusive of all such work without extra charge. The contractor shall therefore
examine the site before tendering and provide for all items to be done under his earth
work tender rate. Old bunds will be benched or sloped as directed by Project
Managerbefore addition of earth, the benches being 500 mm. X 500 mm. unless other

all expenses for all means of conveying water to the point of use, their collection,
usage, and all other incidental expenses will not be paid separately including creation
of source of water and the cost shall be deemed to have been included in the
concerned unit price bid in the bill of quantities of the contract for the relevant
finished item of work for which water is required. So also the cost of procuring and
applying water required for other items of the work as per BOQ shall be included in
the price bid in the bill of quantities for the items of work for which the water is used.
The Contractor shall handle all flows from natural drainage channel intercepted by
the work under these specifications, perform any additional excavation and grading
for drainage as directed and provide and maintain any temporary construction
required to bypass or otherwise cause the flows to be harmless to the work and
property. When the temporary construction is no longer needed and prior to
acceptance of the work the contractor shall remove the temporary construction and
restore the site to its original condition as approved by the Project Manager.
In addition to cross drains, longitudinal drains may the considered necessary for

shall be either open or filled up with material to ensure free flow of water without
clogging of the filled materials.
The cost of all works and materials required by this paragraph shall be included
by the contractor in the unit prices quoted in the bill of quantities and no
separate payment will be made for the same.
Damages due to rain or flood either in cutting or in bank shall have to be made good
by the contractor till the work is handed over to the department. The responsibility for
desilting and making good the damages due to rain or flood rests with the contractor.
Noextra cost is payable for such operations and the contractor shall, therefore, have
to take all necessary precautions to protect the work done during the construction
period.
Before commencement of work, initial levels to indicate existing ground levels shall
be taken at 15m. intervals longitudinally along the alignment of the dam. The level
points transversely along the cross sections shall be maximum at 5 m. intervals in flat
ground 1.5-2m. in undulating terrain. The cross sections shall be extended beyond the
limit of work to a suitable distance and minimum 5 metres beyond the toe lines of
slopes on both the sides. The intervals stipulated shall be made closer depending on
the topography or any stipulation made by the Project Manager.
All initial levels shall be recorded in ink in authenticated level books issued by the
Project Managerand shall be signed by the Junior Engineer / Assistant Engineer when
228
he records the levels. The Assistant Engineers and Executive Engineers shall exercise
checks strictly in accordance with the provisions of _____________ PWD Code.
The level shall be recorded in the presence of the contractor or his authorized agent.
The contractor or his authorized agent shall sign each page of the level book / field
book in token of acceptance. These cross sections shall form the basis of all future
measurements and payments. Each dimension shall be measured to the nearest 0.01m.
Areas shall be computed to nearest 0.01 Sqm., volume shall be computed to nearest
0.01 cubic m. Actual construction work shall not be allowed to start unless the initial
levels are recorded, signed and accepted by the Contractor.
4. EARTH WORK
Drawing showing the typical section of the dam annexed to these specifications
provides such details as would enable the contractor to execute the work in general
conformity there-with under these specifications which have been prepared as
definitely and in as much detail as possible with regard to design data presently
available. These drawings will be supplemented by such additional, general and
details drawings or directions as may be considered necessary or desirable as the
work progresses. For all changes in approved drawing / design the recommendation
of Superintending Engineer and approval of Chief Engineer will be essential. Where
details shown on these drawings differ from the requirements of these specifications,
the requirement of specifications shall govern. The contractor shall do no work
without proper drawings. He shall check all drawings and specifications carefully and
advise the Project Managerif any errors and omissions are discovered where upon the
Project Managerwill prepare and lodge such revised additional drawings and
specifications as may be required to suit the stage of work. All such additional,
general and detailed drawings whether original or revised lodged in the office of the
Project Managerand signed by him for purpose of identification shall be open for
inspection by the contractor under the same terms and conditions as provided in
agreement.
All works of the contract shall be executed as per the specific and relevant clause /
clauses of relevant I.S. code unless otherwise specified. Materials used should,

specification subsequently, shall apply. For purpose of relevancy or otherwise of any
provision of the I. S. code referred to, the decision of Project Managershall be final
and binding.
229
Looking to the importance of the work, it is desired that dimensions and grade
(Longitudinal and cross slope) should be error free. To achieve this goal, precise
survey equipment like high precision DGPS and Similar or higher equipments shall
be used for establishing BM and intermediate points. The objective of employer is to
access all the construction activities in real time by all levels. All the compaction
work on slope and small beds shall be done with customized slope compactors. No
manual compactors or tractor mounted compactors shall be allowed.
a) General
Excavation for the foundation of structures shall be to the elevation shown on the

which men enter shall be securely shored and strutted and timbered.
All trenches in soil soft or fissured rock or hard soil exceeding 2 M. in depth, into
which men enter shall be securely shored and timbered.
Notwithstanding anything said above, it shall be understood that the need for shoring
shall receive careful and frequent consideration even in trenches of less than 1.5 or 2
M. in depth (as the case may be). When there is doubt as to the safety of the work
without shoring, no further excavation or other work shall be continued until adequate
shoring is provided.
Where the sides of trenches are sloped but not to within 1.5 M. of the bottom, the
vertical sides shall be shored and the shoring shall extend at least 30 Cm. above the
vertical sides. When open spaced sheathing is used, a toe board shall be provided to
prevent material rolling down the slope and falling into the part of the trench with
vertical walls.
Shoring and timbering shall be carried along with the opening of a trench but when
conditions permit protection work, such as sheet piling may be done before the
excavation commences.
230
All loose stones, projecting clumps of earth, pockets of materials which might come
down on the workers in the trench or any condition which is a hazard, shall be either
removed or the excavated sides adequately braced and the trench suitably guarded.
On steep slopes workmen shall not be permitted to work one above the other.
The contractor shall prepare the foundations at structure sites by methods which will
provide firm foundation for the structures. The bottom and side slopes of common
excavation upon or against which the structure is to be placed shall be finished to the

with suitable tools to form firm foundation upon or against which the structure is to
be placed.
The contractor shall prepare the foundation of the structures as shown on respective
drawings. The horizontal foundation material beneath the required excavation shall be
moistened if required and compacted in place.
Separate payment will not be made to the contractor for moistening and compacting
the foundation of structures. The contractor shall include cost thereof in the price bid
per cubic meter of the item of the bill of Quantities for foundation excavation.
When unsuitable material is encountered in the foundation for structure the Project
Managermay direct additional excavation to remove the unsuitable materials. The
additional excavation shall be refilled as follows. In excavation in soils, the over
excavation shall be filled in by clean coarse sand and compacted.
If bad ground or loose soil is met with, the contractor, shall be responsible for
reporting the fact to the Project Managerwho shall issue such orders as may be
necessary.

lines required to receive the structure, or if at any point in common excavation the
natural foundation material is disturbed or loosened during the excavation process, it
shall be compacted in place or where directed, it shall be removed and replaced as
follows. In excavation in soils, the over excavation shall be filled in by clean coarse
231
sand and compacted. Any and all excess excavation or over excavation performed by
the contractor for any purpose or reason except for additional excavation as may be
prescribed by the Project Managerand whether or not due to the fault of the contractor
shall be at the expense of the contractor. Filling for such excess excavation or over
excavation shall be at the expense of the contractor.
d) Disposal of materials
Foundation for structures will be measured for payment, for box cutting with vertical
sides of foundation dimensions. The contractor will have to make his own
arrangements for shoring, strutting provision of adequate slopes for the sides to
prevent slips etc., and no separate charge will paid for any incidental charges arising
either during excavation of foundation or construction of the structure.
The quantity for payment of excavation in soil and rock shall be arrived at by taking
pre levels and finished levels at respective strata. Block levels will be taken at one
meter or less intervals. The levels shall be plotted on a graph sheet and average levels
arrived at for the purpose of determining the quantity of excavation. The contractor's
signature in token of his acceptance shall be recorded in the cross section sheets.
Final payment shall be based on levels only.
f) Payment
Payment for excavation for structures shall be made at the unit price per cubic meter
bid. The rate for excavation for structures shall include the cost of all labor and
materials for Coffer dam and other temporary construction, cost of all pumping and
dewatering, cost of all other work necessary to maintain the excavation in good order
during construction, cost of removing such temporary construction where required
and shall include the cost of disposal of the excavated material.
232
a) General
The item of the schedule for backfill around structures including pipe portions of
structures includes all backfill required to be placed under these specifications.
b) Materials
The type of material used for backfill, the amount thereof and the manner of
depositing the material shall be subject to approval of Project Manager. In so far as
practicable back fill material shall be obtained from material removed in required
excavations for structures. But when sufficient suitable material is not available from
this source or from adjacent dam excavation, additional material shall be obtained
from approved borrow areas. The borrow pit excavation shall be in accordance with
clauses 9.1 to 9.3 of B.I.S. 4701-1982
Where sand filling is specified, the sand shall be clean, free from admixture of foreign
material and approved by the Project Managerbefore filling is commenced. Should
there be a necessity to fill in a basement with sea sand, prior written approval of the
Project Managershall be obtained. Sand filling should be saturated with water before
the construction is allowed to proceed.
Filling around structures shall have optimum moisture content and, well consolidated
in layers of 15 Cm. by ramming with iron rammers and cut ends of crowbars or with
vibratory earth rammer, depending upon the extent of space available. When filling

hours, allowed to dry and then rammed and consolidated to desired density in order to
avoid any settlement at a later stage.
c) Placing Backfill
Back fill shall be placed to the lines and grades shown on the drawings as prescribed
in this paragraph or as directed by the Project Manager.
The surface to receive the filling shall be first prepared free from all roots, vegetation
or spoil and wetted.
233
All backfill shall be placed carefully and spread in uniform layers so that all spaces
around rocks and clods will be filled. Backfill shall be brought up as uniformly as
practicable on both sides of walls and all sides of structure to prevent unequal
loading. Backfill shall be placed to about the same elevation on both sides of the pipe
positions of the structures to prevent unequal loading and displacement of the pipe.
Backfill required to be compacted shall be compacted in accordance with paragraph
3.2.3.2.

In case the Contractor prepares borrow areas, all areas required for borrowing earth
for embankment shall be cleared of all tree stumps, roots, bushes, rubbish and other
objectionable materials. Adequate lighting arrangement should be provided by the
contractor.
Particular care shall be taken to exclude all organic matter from the materials to be
placed in the embankment. All cleared organic materials shall be burnt to ashes or
disposed of as directed. The cleared areas shall be maintained free of vegetable
growth during the progress of the work. No payment shall be admissible for
preparation of the borrow areas indicated above as this is deemed to have been
included in unit bid price of earthwork in the bill of quantities.
In case the Contractor prepares borrow areas, Borrow areas shall be stripped of top
soil, sod and any other objectionable materials to the required depth as directed by
Project Manager. The work may be done manually or with suitable machine.
Stripping operations shall be limited only to designated borrow areas. Materials from
stripping shall be disposed of in exhausted borrow areas or in the approved adjacent
areas as directed. No extra payment shall be admissible for stripping the borrow areas
as this is deemed to have been included in the unit bid price for earthwork in the bill

required for the material in any particular borrow area shall be obtained from
the field laboratory. The additional moisture requirements as determined by the
241
laboratory test shall be introduced into the borrow areas by watering well in
advance of the excavation to ensure uniformity of moisture content. All care
shall be taken to reduce excessive moisture in any of the locations of a borrow
area before or during excavation to secure the materials with moisture content
close to the optimum. To avoid formation of pools in the borrow areas during
excavation operation, drainage ditches from borrow areas to suitable outlets
shall be excavated, wherever necessary. Upon exhausting of all materials or
abandoning the borrow areas, the pits shall be fully drained to ensure no
ponding of water.
Construction and maintenance of approach roads, and haulage roads will be the
responsibility of the contractor. The Department will have full right of way to those
roads for inspection purposes. Proper road sign as directed have to be provided for
safety. For haulage of earth, the contractor shall construct ramps and haul roads of
sufficient width along the shortest but most practicable route and shall maintain and
illuminate them to a satisfactory manner. Watering of the haul road shall be done by
the contractor as often as necessary to prevent raising of dust, formation of cuts and
consequent deterioration of the surface. Whenever service roads meant for public
road traverse through or run close to the borrow area, the contractor shall direct the
excavation and haulage operation in such a manner as to ensure uninterrupted use of
the service road and safety to the public. At the haul road and service road crossing,
the contractor shall install necessary check gates and road signs.
Dam embankment shall be constructed to the top width and side slopes as shown on
the drawings. Suitable excavated material available from the dam cutting, proud

available from excavations the desired material shall be obtained from borrow area
designated for the purpose as per the instruction of the Project Manageror procured
from certified suppliers.
The planning for execution should be such that all the useful excavated materials are
242
Only suitable materials as per specification shall be excavated, loaded and conveyed
to the point of placement in the embankment. Unsuitable material if conveyed shall
be removed and disposed clear of the work site as directed by the Project Managerat
the cost of the contractor.
a) Placing Earthfill.
(c) The embankment shall be constructed with earth fill of required materials as
per drawing and specification. The fill shall be free from lenses, pockets,
streaks or layer of materials differing substantially in texture or gradation
from the surrounding materials. The useful excavated materials shall be
classified as ‘impervious' and ‘semi pervious' by the Project Manager. Care
shall be taken to utilize the impervious materials towards the water side of the
embankment and semi pervious materials towards outer zone of the
embankment as per drawing.
(d) Construction of embankment shall begin at the toe of the fill and in no case
shall embankment be widened by material dumped from the top. The
material shall be placed in the earth fill in the continuous horizontal layers not
more than 15 Cm. in thickness after being rolled as herein specified.
The thickness of the layer shall be adjusted by the Project Manager; if the
contractor satisfies the Department that the particular type of compactors used
by him give the required density by carrying out trial compaction and
requisite tests. Initially the earth in the embankment fill shall be laid in a
grater width than the designed section. Adequate extra width of about 0.6 M.
on either side of the embankment shall be provided so that the earth fill, up to
lines of the finished slopes, shall have the required compaction as per the
drawing and specification. Such extra width shall be removed and utilized in
the upper layers of embankment along with slope dressing, for which no
additional payment shall be made as it is deemed to have been included in bid
price of earthwork in embankment in the bill of quantities.
No fresh layer shall be laid until the previous layer is properly watered and
compacted as per the requirement. If in the opinion of the Project Manager,
the surface of i.e. prepared foundation or the rolled surface of any layer of
earth fill is too dry or smooth to bound properly with the layer of materials to
be placed thereon, it shall be moistened or worked with arrow, scarifier or
243
(e) The materials shall be deposited in rows parallel to the axis and spread in the
uniform layers and clods shall be broken maximum up to 5 cm. The work of
spreading and compaction shall be so adjusted as not to interfere with each
other and in such a way that neither of the operations is held up because of
non-completion of rolling and watering. The excavation and placing operation
shall be such that the material when compacted shall be blended sufficiently to
secure the best practicable degree of compaction, impermeability and
stability. The surface of banking shall at all time of construction be
maintained true to required cross section.
(f) During construction a Medium transverse slope from centre towards edges
should be given to avoid pools of water forming due to rains.
When compacting the soil against the rock abutment or walls of masonry or
concrete structures, the construction surface of the embankment shall be
sloped away from the rock or masonry or concrete structures leaving a
minimum distance of 0.6 M. and at an inclination of 3:1. If the foundation
surface is too irregular to allow the use of large roller directly against the
structure or rock out crop, the roller shall be used to compact the soil, as close
to the structure or the out crop as possible and the portion of the embankment
directly against the rock or the structure shall be compacted with pneumatic
hand tampers in thin layers. The moisture content of the earth-fill placed
against the rock or the structure shall be slightly above the optimum to allow
it to be compacted in to all irregularities of the rock and this shall be
determined by the field laboratory. In placing the earth- fill under rock
foundation, the foundation shall first be prepared as detailed earlier.
b) Weather conditions
Embankment materials shall be placed only when the weather conditions are
satisfactory to permit accurate control of the moisture content in the embankment
244
The contractor, shall provide suitable protection works to protect the slope from
erosion due to rain water. No payment what-so-ever shall be made for providing such
protection work and rectifying the monsoon damages.
c) Moisture Control.
The water content of the earth fill material prior to and during compaction shall be
distributed uniformly throughout each layer of materials and it shall be between - 2%
to + 2% of the optimum moisture content. Moisture determination of soil as well as
needle moisture determination of soil shall be carried out as per I.S. 2720-1983.
Laboratory investigations may impose some restriction on the lower limits of the
practicable moisture contents on the basis of studies on consolidation characteristics
of soil in embankment. Here-in-after, the term range of optimum practicable moisture
content shall refer to the value as described above. As far as practicable, the material
shall be brought to the proper moisture content .in the borrow area before excavation.
If additional moisture is required it shall be added preferably at the borrow area, and
only in limited cases / extent, if required, on the embankment by sprinkling water
before rolling of a layer. If more moisture is present than required, the material shall
be spread and allowed to dry before starting rolling. Moisture control shall be strictly
adhered to. The moisture content shall be relatively uniform throughout the layer of
material. If necessary, ploughing, disc-harrowing or blending with other materials
may have to be resorted to obtain uniform moisture distribution, if the moisture
content is more or less than the range of optimum practicable moisture content, or if it
is not uniformly distributed throughout the layer, rolling and adding of further layer
shall be stopped. Further work shall be started again only when the above conditions
are satisfied.
In order to have proper control of moisture content in the earth fill, no earth work
shall be done during rainy days. No compensation shall be made to the contractor due
to held up of work for rain or fog

disturbed due to excessive application of water.
c) Over saturated slope grass sods is to be laid and compacted with a light wooden
compactor in order to make the roots of grass in full contact with soil .
d) After the grass is laid and compacted, watering with water sprinkler is to be
done repeating several times a day till survival of sods and development of
green turf slope
e) Also the degree of compaction for placement of selected top layer soil for grass
planting/turfing on earth dam d/s slope need not be as high as 95% to facilitate
grass growing. The sodding soil is normally tamped to provide some degree of
compaction and minimize risk of erosion. Typically, degree of compaction is
less than 80%.
The measurement of turfing will be recorded in sq met. of turf area after survival of
sods and this includes all costs for labor, material, T & P machineries equipments
and consumables required for completing

7. CONCRETE WORKS
7.1.1. General
The items in the BOQ for concrete in the structures includes all cast-in-place
concrete in the structure.
The structures shall be built to the lines, grades and dimensions shown on the
drawings. The dimensions of each structure as shown on the drawings will be
subject to such modifications as may be found necessary by the Project Managerto
adopt the structure to the conditions disclosed by the excavation or to meet other
conditions. Where the thickness of any portion of a concrete structure is variable it
shall vary uniformly between the dimensions shown. Where necessary, as
determined by the Project Manager, the contractor shall be furnished additional
detail drawings of the structures to be constructed. The contractor will not be
entitled to any additional allowances above the price bid in the bill of quantities by
reason of the dimensions fixed by the Project Manageror by reasons of any
modifications or extension of a minor character to adopt a structure at site, as
determined by the Project Manager.
The cost of furnishing all materials and performing all work for installing timber,
metal and other accessories for which specific price are not provided in the BOQ,
shall be included in the applicable prices bid in the BOQ for the work to which such
items are appurtenant.
Concrete shall be composed of cement, sand, coarse aggregate, water admixtures (if
any) as specified and all well mixed in batching & mixing plant by weight or by
concrete mixture by volume / weight and brought to the proper consistency. Batching
plant, if deemed required for large volume of concrete work, shall conform to I.S
code No. 4925. For works in which water tightness is required the specification in IS
3370 shall be applied. Concrete shall be mixed in a fully automatic batching plants. In
the works involving very small quantities of concrete, Project Manager may allow the
use of proper mechanical mixer for the production of concrete. No other mixers shall
255
be allowed for concrete mixing. The concrete batching plant shall have the cloud
based memory for accessing the production data in real time. The batching plant shall
be able to produce concrete as per 3 to 4 types of mix. Output from batching plant
shall be as dense as possible, plastic enough to consolidate well and stiff enough to
stay in place on the slopes. Mixing shall be continued until there is a uniform mixing
of the materials and the concrete is uniform in color and consistency. The time of
mixing shall be as shown in Table 1 of IS 457 and reproduced in the table below.
b) Mix proportions

{Indian Standard Specification for batching and mixing plant). All measuring
equipment shall be maintained in a clean serviceable condition and their
accuracy periodically checked. The acceptance or rejection of concrete shall
be as per the acceptance criteria laid down in clause 16 of I.S. 456-2000.
The net water cement ratio exclusive of water absorbed by the aggregate shall
be sufficiently low to provide adequate durability in concrete. The water-
cement ratio shall normally be governed by Table 5 of IS 456:200, reproduced
below, and firmed up by the trial mix designs, which shall be intimated to the
Contractor by the Project Manager.
The water cement ratio for various grades of concrete shall be as determined and ordered
by the Project Engineer.
c) Consistencies:
whenever concrete of such lesser slump can be consolidated readily into place
by means of vibration specified by the Project Manager. To maintain concrete
at proper consistency, the amount of water and sand batched for concrete shall
be adjusted to compensate for any variation in the moisture content or grading
of the aggregates as they enter themixer. Addition of water to compensate for
stiffening of the concrete after mixing but before placing will not be
permitted. Uniformity in concrete consistency from batch to batch shall be
maintained.
7.3. Concrete Quality Control Measures and Concrete Quality Assurance Test
Program
a) Test specimen
Three test specimens shall be made from each sample for testing at 28 days.
Additional cubes may be required for various purposes, such as to determine the
strength of concrete at 7 days or at the time of striking formwork, or to determine the
duration of curing or to check the testing cubes cured by accelerated methods as
described in IS: 9013. The specimen shall be tested as described in 1S:516.
a) The test strength of the sample shall be the average of three specimens.
Individual variation shall not be more than 15 percent of the average.
b) Testing shall be carried out at the testing laboratories set up at the site or at any
other laboratory that the Project Managermay decide upon and the results given
thereby shall be considered as correct and authentic and acceptable to the
Contractor.
c) Acceptance criteria
Acceptance criteria will be as per clause 16 and clause 17 of IS: 456-2000 and as per
Table 11 of IS 456-2000, which is reproduced below.
259
Note: the above criterion is as per Amend No.3 to IS 456:2000 (Fourth Revision,
April 2007)
7.5. Cement
Cement shall conform to relevant clause 5 of IS. 456:2000 and include 33 Grade
ordinary Portland cement (IS 269); 43 Grade ordinary Portland cement (IS 8112); 53
Grade ordinary Portland cement (IS 12269); Portland pozzolana cement (fly ash
based) conforming to IS 1489 (Part I); Portland slag cement (IS 455); Low heat
Portland cement (IS 12600); and Sulphate Resisting cement ( IS 12330). Cement to
be used shall be with the prior approval of Project Manager.
The provisions of this paragraph apply to cement for use in cast-in-place concrete
required under these specifications.
The contractor shall make his own arrangements for the procurement of cement to
specifications required for the works. Transportation from the place of supplying to
the batching plant shall be in any weather tight means which will protect the cement
completely from exposure to moisture. Cement bags shall not be stacked more than
1.5 m high. Each shipment of bagged cement shall be stored separately so that it
may readily be distinguished from other shipment and shall be stored in a dry
enclosed area protected from moisture. Storage of materials shall be as described in
I.S. 4082 (I.S. recommendation on stacking and storage of construction materials at
site). To prevent under aging of bagged cement after delivery, the contractor shall
use bags of cement in the chronological order in which they were delivered to the
job site. All storage facilities shall be subject to approval of the Project Manager.
The manufacturer test certificate of cement must show that the alkali content is less
than 0.6 % and should also show the chloride content.
7.6. Admixtures
When only deemed necessary, the contractor shall use Accelerating, retarding, water
reducing and Air entraining agents & other admixtures like —Polypropylene Fiber as
directed by the Project Manager. Admixtures shall be of uniform consistency and
260
quality and shall be maintained at the job site at uniform strength of solution. An
admixture's suitability and effectiveness shall be verified by trial mixes with the other
materials used in the works. If two or more admixtures are to be used simultaneously
in the same concrete mix, their interaction shall be checked and trial mixes done to
ensure their compatibility. There should also be no increase in risk of corrosion of
reinforcement or other embedment’s. Admixtures shall be batched separately in
liquid form in containers capable of measuring at one time the full quantity of each
admixture required for each batch. Chemical admixtures which harm the quality and
strength of concrete shall not be used in the concrete.
a) Chemical Admixtures:
The first three types (MLS, SNF, SMF) are conventional super plasticizers and the
last one, PCE is considered to be the state-of-art new generation super plasticizer.
MLS, SNF and SMF types of super plasticizers give water reduction from about 15
261
The ab`ove illustrates that with the addition of 3.75 litres of chemical admixture, the
slump of M30 concrete mix has increased from 55 mm to 140 mm without addition
of any extra water what so ever while maintaining the same specified water-cement
ratio (W/C) of 0.57 as is of M30 concrete mix without any admixture. Thus, super
plasticized concrete allows concrete of high workability with very low water-cement
ratio, excellent homogeneous & cohesive mix and easy placement in congested
reinforcement affording very good finish.
b) Mineral Admixtures:
(a) Fly ash. It is the by product from the coal-based thermal power plants. It is
used to manufacture Portland Pozzolana Cement (fly ash based) with fly ash
content ranging from 20 % to about 25 %. Fly ash improves cohesiveness of
262
(b) Silica / Micro silica. It is the by product in the production of ferro- silicon
alloys or silicon from quartz & carbon in an electric arc furnace. It contains 85 %
to 90 % Silicon Dioxide (SiO2 ). It is an extremely fine powder and is a highly
reactive pozzolana having particles of an average diameter of 0.1 micron. The
average specific surface area of silica fume is as much as about 20,000 m2 / kg
to 25,000 m2 / kg compared to about 250 – 275 m2 /kg fineness of Ordinary
Portland cement. Thus, micro silica particle is about 100 times finer than the
cement particle and imparts high strength to the concrete mix.
(C) Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (ggbs). It is the byproduct of steel plants
manufacturing pig iron. It is used in the manufacture of Portland Slag Cement
(IS 455) and the slag content varies from 50 % to 70 %. Use of Portland Slag
Cement with at least 50 % slag in the cement concrete offers many advantages,
such as (a) significantly decreases the permeability of concrete, there by,
increasing its durability (b) increases resistance to corrosion of steel
reinforcement resulting in longevity of structures (d) Lowers heat of hydration,
there by minimizing thermal cracking (e) provides increased resistance to ASR
(Alkali Silica Reaction). Slag content in the Portland Slag Cement (IS 455) can
be increased to as much as 70 %.
When only deemed necessary, steel Fibres are used in Concrete and Shotcrete.
Advantages of Steel Fibres. Specifications of Steel Fibres. Addition of steel fibres in
concrete and shotcrete mixes gives the following advantages:
- Steel Fibres Reinforced Concrete offers better resistance against abrasion &
erosion.
The most important aspects that control the performance of steel fibres in concrete
and shotcrete are:
- Tensile strength.
- Geometrical Shape.
265
- Fibre Network.
The higher the aspect ratio and fibre network of a high strength fibre, the better the
performance of “High Strength Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete” / “Steel Fibre
Reinforced Shotcrete (SFRS)”. Aspect Ratio of 60 to 80 is considered to be good.
With smaller diameter fibres, , the number of fibres per unit weight increases which
densify the fibre network, thereby, making the concrete / shotcrete more efficient.
Two types of steel fibres are tabulated below for illustration:
Usually, steel fibres of 36 mm length and 0.45 mm diameter (Aspect Ratio of 80) are
used in the High Strength Fibre Reinforced Concrete Mix.
Shape of Fibres. The steel fibres shall have “hooked ends” to provide superior
anchorage. Glued steel fibres bundled together with a water soluble glue have now
been developed which afford much better mixing and their uniform dispersion
throughout the entire concrete matrix / shotcrete matrix instead of using loose fibres
which pose mixing problem and do not spread evenly/uniformly in the concrete mix /
shotcrete mix. Steel fibres of reputed manufacturer shall be used. DramixR steel
fibres are considered to be of high quality. Such steel fibres are depicted in Annex 2
for illustration.
Tensile Strength of Steel Fibres. The tensile strength of steel fibres shall be higher
than 900 MPa (900 N/mm2 ). It should preferably be 1000 MPa (1000 N/mm2). The
fibres shall not be galvanized.
Dosage of Steel Fibres. Dosage of steel fibres may vary from about 5 % to 6 % of
the cement content used in the Concrete mix / Shotcrete mix.
266
The fibre should be as per guidelines of ASTM C 1116 ( Type III) or equivalent.
The Polyfin( Polypropylene and Polyethylene) fibres should have the following
properties:-
Absorption - Nil
7.10. Water
The water used in making and curing of concrete, mortar and grout shall be clean and
free from objectionable quantities of silt, organic matter, injurious amounts of oils,
acids, salts and other impurities. Potable water is generally considered satisfactory for
mixing concrete. However, water shall be tested and shall conform to the following
acceptable limits. At least 3 tests shall be conducted for all period of concreting and
one test every 3 months for grouting work.
Acceptable Limits:
(i) pH 6.0 -8.5. (ii) Sulphates (as SO3 ) = 400 ppm max. (iii) Organic impurities =

shall be furnished to the Project Manager.
(v) For every 500 m3 of sand, Soundness Tests on sand shall be conducted by the
Contractor. Soundness after 5 cycles by Mg SO4 (Magnesium Sulphate) shall
be less than 15 % and Soundness after 5 cycles by Na2 SO4 (Sodium
Sulphate) shall be less than 10 % for the acceptance of sand.
b) Specific gravity:
Sand shall be screened before use. If sand brought to site is not clean it must be
washed clean in water, Fine draft sand or sea sand or sand containing saline
impurities shall on no account to be used.
c) Grading
The sand as batched shall be well graded and when tested by means of standard
sieves shall confirm to the limits given in I.S. 383 and shall be described as fine
aggregates, grading zones I,II, III and IV. Sand complying with the requirements of
any of the four grading zones is suitable for concrete. But, sand confirming to the
requirements of grading zone -IV shall not be used for reinforced cement concrete
work.
268
a) General
For the purposes of these specifications, the term “Coarse Aggregate” designate clean
well graded aggregate most of which is retained on 4.75 mm I.S. Sieve and
containing only so much finer material as permitted for various types described under
relevant clause of I.S. 383. Coarse Aggregate for concrete shall be furnished by the
Contractor from the approved quarries.
b) Quality
The coarse aggregate shall consist of naturally occurring stones, and shall be hard,
strong, durable, clear and free from veins and adherent coating, and free from
injurious amounts of disintegrated pieces, alkali, vegetable matter and other
deleterious materials. Coarse aggregate will be rejected if it fails to meet any of the
following requirements:
The abrasion value of Aggregates when tested in accordance with the method
specified in I.S 2386 (Part -IV) using Los-Angles machine shall not exceed 30%
for Aggregates to be used in concrete for wearing surface and 50% for aggregate
to be used in other concrete.
Aggregate crushing value, when determined in accordance with I.S. 2386 (Part-
IV) 1 963 shall not exceed 45 % for aggregate used for concrete other then
wearing surface and 30 % for wearing surfaces. As an alternative to the crushing
strength test, aggregate impact value shall be found out with the method specified
in I.S. 2386 (Part - IV) 1 963. The aggregate impact value shall not exceed 45 %
by weight for aggregates used for concrete for other then wearing surfaces, and 30
% by weight for concrete for wearing surfaces.
3. SOUNDNESS TEST

magnesium sulphate accelerated soundness test specified in I.S. 2386 (Part - V) 1
963 and the average loss of weight after 5 cycles shall not exceed the limits
specified in clause 3.6 of I.S. 383-1970.
For every 500 m3 of coarse aggregate, Soundness Tests on coarse aggregate shall
be conducted by the Contractor. Soundness after 5 cycles by MgSo4 (Magnesium
Sulphate) shall be less than 18 % and Soundness after 5 cycles by Na2 SO4
269
(Sodium Sulphate) shall be less than 12 % for acceptance of the coarse aggregate.
4. SPECIFIC GRAVITY :
5. DELETERIOUS MATERIAL
No separate payment will be made for tests of materials. If sand and coarse
aggregate are to be obtained from a deposit not previously tested and approved by
the Project Manager, the contractor shall submit representative samples for pre-
construction test and approval, well in advance before the sand and coarse
aggregates are required for use. Each sample shall approximately consist of 100
Kg. of material. In addition to pre-construction tests, the approval of deposits, the
Project Managermay test the aggregates for their suitability during their
processing. The contractor shall provide such facilities as may be necessary for
procuring representative samples free of cost at the aggregate processing plant
and at the batch plant. Final compliance of aggregates will be based on the
samples taken from the batch plant or mixing platform.
Use and development of any such deposit shall be subject to the approval by the
Project Manager. Any royalties (or other charges) required for materials taken
from deposits either owned by the State Government or controlled by the
Department of Mines and Geology, Government of India or owned by any other
person shall be paid by the Contractor.
National Council of Cement & Building Materials, Ballabgarh (under Govt. of India)
or CSMRS (Central Soil & Materials Research Organization, Delhi under GOI).
d) Preventive Measures
In case, the aggregates are determined to be reactive, alternate sources / quarries shall
be explored for obtaining non reactive aggregates. If still not possible, preventive
measure / measures for controlling Alkali-Silica Reaction shall be taken. A practical
and result-oriented measure is to use “fly ash” in the design of concrete mixes.
Inclusion of fly ash substantially reduces the Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR), there by,
protecting the concrete (and the steel reinforcement) from deterioration which results
from the expansion. Decrease in ASR comes from the fact that fly ash reacts
271
chemically with and absorbs Alkalies in the cement, there by, making these
unavailable for reaction with reactive aggregate.
Production of concrete shall be done with fully automatic intelligent concrete batcher.
All the production data of batcher should be program in the plan. The computer of
plant shall be protected from password, once the mix ratio has been program.
Password of plant shall be kept with Project Manager. All the data of production of
concrete shall be stored in memory of batcher and also stored in cloud through
internet. This will facilitate the employer to access the production data from remote.
Contractor shall submit hard copy of batching details along with the running bills.
The contractor shall notify the Project Manager24 hours before batching concrete.
Unless inspection is waived in each case, batching shall be performed only in the
presence of an Engineer authorized by Project Manager.
The contractor shall provide, maintain and operate the equipment as required to
accurately determine and control the prescribed amounts of the various materials
entering the concrete mixers. The quantities of cement sand and each size of coarse
aggregate entering each batch of concrete shall be determined by individual weight.
Cement has to be weighed separately from the aggregates. Sand and coarse aggregate
may be weighed with separate scales and hoppers.
7.13.1. Mixing
a) General
I.S. 1791-1985 (I.S Specifications for batch type concrete mixers). Where small
quantities of concrete are involved and work sites are fairly scattered, Project
Manager may allow use of standard mechanical mixers for the production of
concrete. The mixers shall be fitted with water measuring (metering) devices. In the
absence of the metering device, it shall be ensured by the Contractor that measured
quantity of water is added to the concrete mix ingredients with calibrated transparent
buckets / transparent plastic mugs duly calibrated in order to strictly maintain the
specified water-cement ratio. Also, proper “gauge boxes” shall be used for specified
proportioning of cement, sand, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. Mixing time of
the concrete mix ingredients shall be at least 2 minutes to ensure that there is a
uniform distribution of materials and the mass is uniform in colour and consistency. If
any ‘segregation’ is observed in the concrete mix after unloading from the mixer, the
concrete shall be remixed. Workability (slump) shall be checked at frequent intervals.
The concrete as discharge from the mixer, shall be uniform in composition and
consistency from batch to batch. Workability shall be checked at frequent intervals as
per I.S. 1199-1959. Mixers shall be examined regularly by the Project Manageror his
authorized Engineer for changes in condition due to accumulation of hardened
concrete or mortar or to wear of blades. The mixing shall be continued until there is a
uniform in color and consistency and to the satisfaction of the Project Manager. If
there is aggregation after unloading the concrete should be remixed.
b) Temperature Of Concrete
Fresh structural concrete and fresh dam lining concrete shall be placed at temperature
of between 1 5° C to 30° C. During hot or cold weather, the concreting should be
done as per the procedure set in I.S. 7861- (Part -D-1975 or I. S 7861 (Part – II).
The temperature of concrete at the batch plant shall be adjusted to assure that the
specified concrete temperature is attained at the placement. The contractor shall not
be entitled for any additional compensation due to the foregoing requirements.
a) General
Form shall be used wherever necessary, to confine the concrete and shaping it to the
required lines. If a type of form does not consistently perform in an acceptable
manner, as determined by the Project Manager, the type of form shall be changed and
method of erection shall be modified by the Contractor subject to approval of the
Project Manager.
273
Plumb and string lines shall be installed before, and maintained during concrete
placement. Such lines shall be used by the Contractor's personnel and by the Project
Managerand shall be in sufficient number and properly installed as determined by the
Project Manager. During concrete placement, the contractor shall continuously
monitor plumb and string line, form positions and immediately correct deficiencies.
Forms shall have sufficient strength to withstand the pressure resulting from
placement and vibration of the concrete and shall be maintained rigidly in position.
Where form vibrators are to be used, forms shall be sufficiently rigid to effectively
transmit energy from the form vibrators to the concrete, while not damaging or
altering the positions of forms. Forms shall be sufficiently tight to prevent of loss of
mortar from the concrete. Chamfer strips shall be placed to produce beveled edges on
permanently exposed concrete surfaces. Interior angle of intersecting concrete
surfaces and edges of construction joints shall not be beveled except where indicated
on the drawings.
Suitable struts or stiffeners or ties shall be used for the form work wherever
necessary. All supports shall be braced and cross braced into two directions. All
splices and braces shall be secured by bolting unless specially intended otherwise. All
struts shall be firmly supported against settlement and slipping, by suitable means as
directed. All supports shall be cut square at both ends and firmly supported against
settlement and slipping. When the form work is supported on soils, sleepers etc,, shall
be used to properly disperse the loads. In case, the supports rest on already,
completed beam or slab, suitable props shall be provided under the latter.
d) Suitable inserts for blackouts for electrical and other service fixtures where
necessary shall be provided in the required locations as specified.
e) Cleaning and oiling of Forms:- At the time the concrete is placed in forms, the
surfaces of the forms shall be free from encrustations of mortar, grout or other
foreign material. Before concrete is placed, the surface of the forms shall be
oiled with commercial forms of oil.
f) Removal of Forms:
The stripping of form work shall conform to relevant clause of I.S 456-2000. The
Contractor shall be liable for damage and injury caused by removing forms before the
concrete has gained sufficient strength. Forms on upper sloping faces of concrete
such as forms on the water sides of warped transitions, shall be removed as soon as
the concrete has attained sufficient stiffness to prevent sagging. Any needed repairs or
treatment required on such slopping surfaces shall be performed atone and be
followed immediately by the permitted curing.
To avoid injury appearance of concrete that might result from swelling of forms,
wood forms for wall openings shall be loosened as soon as the loosening can be
accomplished without damages to the concrete. Forms for the opening shall be
constructed as to facilitate such loosening. Forms shall be removed with care so as to
avoid injury to concrete and any concrete so damaged shall be repaired.
g) Cost
The cost of furnishing all materials and performing all work for constructing forms,
including any necessary treatment or coating of forms will be paid at applicable
prices bid in the schedule.
The formwork will be measured in Sqm. of surface area of concrete surface to which
forms are necessary.
Payment for formwork in BOQ includes 1) all costs for supplying labor, materials,
T&P, machineries and consumables required for erecting the forms to line, level and
plumb as per approved drawing and all such costs necessary for removing the forms
275
after the concrete has hardened, 2) all other costs necessary for carrying out formwork
operation mentioned, 3) All costs for carrying out repair of hardened concrete 4) any
other incidental expenditure to complete the finished item of work as per specification
and direction of Project Manager.
a) General
Tolerances are defined as allowable variations from specified lines, grades, and
dimensions and as the allowable magnitude of the surface irregularities. Allowable
variations from specified lines, grades and dimensions are listed as given under sub
paragraph {b) below.
The intent of this paragraph is to established tolerances that are consistent with
modern construction practice that is governed by the effect that permissible variations
may have upon a structure. The Project Managerreserves the right to diminish the
tolerances set-forth herein if such tolerances impair the structural action, operational
function or architectural appearance of a structure or position thereof.
Concrete shall be within all stated tolerances even though more than one tolerance
may be specified for a particular concrete structure. Provided that the specified
variation for one element of the structure shall not apply when it will permit another
element of the structure to exceed its alterable variation. Where tolerances are not
specified for particular structure, tolerances shall be those specified for a similar
work. As an exception to the general provisions, specific tolerances shown herein in
connection with any dimension shall govern. The Contractor shall be responsible for
finishing the concrete forms within the limits necessary to insure that the completed
work will be within the tolerance limits specified. The defective work where the
tolerance limit is exceeded shall be remedied in accordance with the provisions
mentioned under Concrete surface irregularities” in succeeding paragraphs.
Hardened concrete structure shall be checked by the contractor and will be subject to
such inspection and measurement as needed to determine that the structures are
within the tolerance specified in the table below.
Variation is defined as the distance between the actual position of the structure or any
element of the structure and the specified position in plan for the structure or the
particular element. Plus or minus variations shown indicate a permitted actual
276
position up or down and in or out from the specified position in plan. Variations not
designated as plus or minus indicate the maximum deviation permitted between
designated successive points on the completed element of construction.
Specified position in plan is defined as the lines, grade and dimensions described in
those specifications or shown on the drawings or as otherwise prescribed by the
Project Manager.
b) Eccentricity = (±) 0.02 times width of footing in the direction of deviation but not
more than 50 mm.
Note: Tolerances apply to concrete dimensions only, but not for positioning of
vertical reinforcing bars or dowels.
i. GENERAL
Abrupt surface Irregularities are defined herein as offsets such as those caused by
misplaced or loose forms, loose knots in form, or other similar forming faults. Abrupt
surface irregularities are measured using a straight edge held firmly against the
concrete surface over the irregularity and the magnitude of the offset is determined by
direct measurement
Gradual surface irregularities are defined herein as bulges and depressions resulting
in gradual changes on the concrete surface. Gradual surface irregularities are
measured using a suitable template conforming to the design profile of the concrete
277
surface being examined. The magnitude of the gradual surface irregularities is defined
herein as measures of the rate of change in slopes of the concrete surface.
The surface irregularities shall not exceed 6 mm for bottom slab and 12 mm for side
slopes when tested with a straight edge of 1.5 meter in length.
Hardened concrete which is not within specified tolerances shall be repaired to bring
it within those tolerances. Such repair shall be in accordance and shall be
accomplished in a manner approved by the Project Manager. Concrete repair to bring
concrete within the tolerances shall be done only after consultation with a
representative of Project Managerregarding the method of repair. The Project
Managershall be notified as to the time when repair will be performed.
Concrete shall be finished in a manner which will result in concrete surface with a
uniform appearance. Any rough projections can then be rubbed down and the whole
surface brought to an even finish by rubbing with a wooden float using a mortar of
one part cement by two parts of coarse sand as an abrasive, the mortar at the same
time filling the voids. A neat cement wash shall than be applied to give a smooth
surface. If the concrete has set hard, the fins and rough projections, if any, shall be
removed by using carborandum brick or a paved grinding machine by chipping,
before finishing off with the smoothing wash. If the work of chipping is not done with
care or if the surface exposed after removal of the forms cannot be satisfactorily dealt
with in this manner due to bad work or for other reasons, a coat of cement plaster of
1:2 of thickness as ordered by the Project Managershall be applied.
No extra payment will be given for finishing concrete surface as instructed above
in this clause.
When concrete placements result in hardened concrete that does not meet the
specified tolerances, the contractor shall submit to the Project Manageran outline of
all prevention actions such as modification to form, modified procedure for setting
278
The Project Managerreserves the right to delay concrete placement until the
contractor implements such preventive actions which are approved by the Project
Manager.
7.16.1. General
Reinforcing bars shall be placed in the concrete as shown in the approved drawings or
as directed. For anchoring the concrete to the Hard rock contractor shall place the
anchor rods to the spacing and depth shown in the drawings.

yield strength deformed bars of grade Fe 415 conforming to I.S 1786-1985
specification for high yield strength deformed steel bars and wire for concrete
reinforcement.
7.16.3. Placing
Reinforcement shall be bent and fixed in accordance with the procedure specified in
I.S. 2502-1963 code of practice for bending and fixing of bars for concrete
reinforcement. All reinforcement shall be placed and maintained in the position

A cold joint is an unplanned joints resulting when a concrete surface hardens before
the next batch is placed against it, cold joints would be allowed only in the event of
equipment breakdown or other unavoidable prolonged interruption of continuous
placing. If such unavoidable delays in placing occur which make it appear that
unconsolidated concrete may harden to the extent that later vibration will not fully
283
consolidate it, the contractor shall immediately consolidate such concrete to a stable
and uniform slope. If delay of placement is then short enough to permit penetration of
the underlying concrete placement shall resume with particular care being taken to
thoroughly penetrate and re vibrate the concrete surface placed before the delay. If
concrete cannot be penetrated with vibrator, the cold joint shall be then treated as a
construction joint.
Care shall be taken to prevent cold joints when placing concrete in any part of the
work. The concrete placing rate shall ensure concrete is placed while the previously
placed adjacent concrete is plastic so that the concrete can be made monolithic by
normal use of vibrators / tamping.
Concrete shall not be placed in rain sufficiently heavy or prolonged to wash mortar
from concrete. A cold joints may necessarily result from prolonged heavy rainfall.
The contractor shall not be entitled to any additional payment, over the unit price bid

deleterious environmental elements will quickly reach the bars and shall initiate the
corrosion there-of. Subsequently, in few years time, steel bars shall suffer heavy
corrosion. Product of corrosion being almost two times that of the original volume of
steel, bursting pressure shall cause cracking & spalling of concrete making the RCC
structure suffer severe premature deterioration and damages.
Monitoring Of Nominal Cover with Logging Cover Meter. In order to ensure that
the Contractor erects the reinforcement strictly adhering to the designed / specified
Nominal Cover within the tolerance levels and, that, the reinforcement does not get
displaced during concrete placement, Project Manager or his Representative shall
check the actual nominal cover after the concrete is placed in the respective lifts
through deployment of ‘Logging Cover Meter’. It is a device which measures the
depth of concrete cover over the reinforcement bars. A pre set value of Nominal
Cover (viz designed cover/specified cover) is entered into the ‘Data logger’ and the
head of the Logging Cover Meter is moved over the concrete surface. All values of
Nominal Cover less than the pre-set value are recorded automatically. Also, an
audible alarm signal is given by the device. This device is battery operated and all
data can also be downloaded to any PC-Compatible computer. In case, scanning of
the concrete surface of a particular lift indicates the actual cover to be less than the
designed/specified cover, Project Manager can direct the contractor to dismantle the
particular lift and re-do the job at his expense itself. Thus, monitoring by the Logging
Cover Meter shall act as a big deterrent and make the Contractor do the job correctly.
When the work has to be resumed on a surface which has hardened, such surface shall
be roughened. It shall then be swept clean & thoroughly wetted. For vertical joints

The cement mortar used in plastering work shall be as per specifications of approved
drawings.
The other specifications and conditions shall apply for the mortar for plastering work
also.
The cement mortar used in pointing work shall be cement mortar mix 1:4 { One
cement four sand by volume).
The other specifications and conditions shall apply for this mortar for pointing work
also.
a) Preparation of Surface
The roughening of the background improves the bond of plaster. All joints shall be
thoroughly raked. After roughening the surface, care shall be taken to moisten the
surface sufficiently before plastering as otherwise freshly exposed surface may tend
to absorb considerable amount of water from the plaster. The surface shall be wetted
evenly before applying the plaster. Care shall be taken to see that the surface is not
too dry as this may cause lack of adhesion or excessive suction of water from the
plaster. A fog spray may be used for this work. As far possible, the plaster work shall
not be done under hot sun.
The mortar used for plastering shall be stiff enough to cling and hold when laid. To
ensure even thickness and true surface, plaster shall be applied in patches of 150 mm
x 150 mm of the required 12 mm thickness at not more than 2 metres intervals
horizontally and vertically over the entire surface to serve as guides. The surface of
these guides shall be truly in the plane-of the to be finished plaster surface and truly
in plumb. The mortar shall then be applied to the surface to be plastered between the
guides with a trowel. Each trowel full of mortar shall overlap and sufficient pressure
shall be used to force it into thorough contact with the surface. On relatively smooth
surfaces, the mortar shall be dashed on with the trowel to ensure adequate bond. The
mortar shall be applied to a thickness slightly more than that specified, using a string,
stretched out between the guides. This shall then be brought to a true surface by
working with a long wooden float with Medium motion. The surface shall be
periodically checked with a string stretched across it. Finally the surface shall be
300
rendered smooth with a Medium wooden float, over working shall be avoided, All
corners, edges and junctions shall be brought truly lo a line with any necessary
rounding and chambering.
If it is necessary to suspend the work at the end of the day, it shall be left in a clean
horizontal or vertical line not nearer than 150 millimeters from any corner or edges or
on parapet tops or on coping etc. When recommencing the work, the edges of the old
work shall be scraped clean and treated with cement slurry before the new plaster is
laid adjacent to it. After the first coat is done it shall be kept undisturbed for the next
24 hours and thereafter kept moist and not to be permitted to dry until the final
rendering is applied.
After the plaster has sufficiently hardened cement slurry with cream like consistency
shall be applied as thinly and evenly and rubbed to a fine condition.
The finished surface shall be cured with water for a minimum period of 14 days.
Should the mortar crack or perish, the plastering shall be removed and redone at the
contractor's expense or should contractor fail to cure the work to the satisfaction or
the Project Managerthe later may cure the work at the risk and cost of the Contractor.
All portions which sound hallow when tapped or found to be soft or otherwise
defective shall be cut out in regular shape and redone as directed by the Project
Managerat the contractor's expense.
PREPARATION OF SURFACE
The joints in the masonry shall be raked out to a depth not less than the width of the
joint or as directed when the mortar is green. Joints shall be brushed clean of dust and
loose particles with a stiff brush. The area shall then be washed and the joint
thoroughly wetted before pointing is commenced.
Flush pointing with cement mortar for coursed Rubble / Laterite Masonry
The pointing to be done shall be flush pointing with cement mortar. The mortar shall
be pressed into the raked out joints according to the type of pointing required. The
mortar shall not be spread over the corners, edges or surface of the masonry. The
pointing shall then be finished as detailed below. The mortar shall be finished off
flush and level with the edges of the stones, so as to give a smooth appearance. The
edges shall be neatly trimmed with a trowel and a straight edge. When finished the
mortar pointing shall be restricted to the width of the joints and all superfluous mortar
shall be removed with a trowel. The work shall be executed as rapidly as possible
301
(and not again touched after it has begun to set) and kept wet for a minimum period
of 14 days thereafter. The pointing shall also be cured for 14 days.
11.3. Measurement
The measurement of plastering and pointing shall be in units of square meters and it
shall be paid at the relevant unit price bid per square metres of plastering / pointing in
the bill of quantities.
11.4. Payment
The item of BOQ provides unit rates for payment of plastering which includes all
costs for labor, material, T & P machineries, equipments and consumables required
