4. Procedure

1) Protect concrete from premature drying, hot or cold temperatures and mechanical injury, 03000
3.06A1
beginning immediately after placement and maintain concrete with minimal moisture loss
at relatively constant temperature.
2) Start initial curing after placing and finishing concrete as soon as free moisture has 03000
3.06B1
disappeared from unformed concrete surfaces. Initial cu ring starts as soon as concrete
achieves final set. Forms left tightly in place are considered as part of the curing system,
provided that wooden forms are kept continuously moist. Keep continuously moist for not
less than 72 hours.
3) Begin final curing procedures immediately following initial curing and before the concrete 03000
3.06B2
has dried. Continue final curing for at least 7 days and in accordance with BS EN. 206-1
procedures for a total curing period, initial plus final, of at least 10 days.
4) The frequency of spraying water should satisfy the requirement that keep the concrete
surface moist. The water should be same as the mix(production) water.
5) Apply membrane-curing compound uniformly over concrete surface by means of roller or 03000
3.06D3a
spray at a rate recommended by the curing compound manufacturer, but not less than 1
liter per 4 sq. meters of surface area. Agitate curing material in supply container
immediately before transfer to distributor and thoroughly agitate it during application for
uniform consistency and dispersion of pigment. Do not use curing compounds on
construction and expansion joints or on surfaces to receive liquid hardener, dust
proofing/sealer, concrete paint, tile, concrete fills and toppings or other applications
requiring positive bond.
6) Curing in summer is extremely important because of the regional conditions.

5. Safety Management and Control

Safety precaution should comply with the contractor’s project safety plan.
NOTE: Contractor shall provide and maintain on the Site sufficient proper and efficient
lifesaving appliances. The appliances must be conspicuous and available for use at all
times. Site operators shall be conversant with the use of safety equipment and drills shall
be carried out sufficiently frequently to ensure that all necessary procedures can be
correctly observed.

6. Quality control

6.1: On Site
1) Protection from environmental conditions:
 Maintain the concrete temperature above 10 degrees C continuously throughout the 03000
3.06E1
curing period. Make arrangements before concrete placing for heating, covering,
insulation or housing to maintain the specified temperature and moisture conditions
continuously for the curing period.
 When the atmospheric temperature is 25 degrees C and above, or during other 03000
3.06E2
climatic conditions which will cause too rapid drying of the concrete, make
arrangements before the start of concrete placing for the installation of wind breaks or
shading, and for fog spraying, wet sprinkling, or moisture-retaining covering.
2) Protect from physical injury:

rays of the sun to prevent checking, crazing and plastic shrinkage.
 3.06C2:Formed Surfaces: Minimize moisture loss for formed surfaces exposed to heating
by the sun by keeping forms wet until safely removed. Keep surface continuously wet by
warm water spray or. warm water saturated fabric immediately following form removal
unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer.
 3.06C3:Water containment and below Grade Structures: Moist cure by the application of
water to maintain the surface in a continually wet condition unless otherwise permitted by
the Engineer. Use water that is free of impurities that could etch or discolor exposed
concrete surfaces.
 3.06C4:Other concrete: Moist cure by moisture-retaining cover curing, or by the use of
curing compound.
 3.06D1:Water Curing: Use water curing for unformed surfaces. Continuously water cure
all exposed concrete for the entire curing period. Provide moisture curing by any of the
following methods: a. keeping the surface of the concrete continuously wet by pending or
immersion. b. Continuous water-fog spray or sprinkling. C. covering the concrete surface
with curing mats, thoroughly saturating the mats with water, and keeping the mats
continuously wet with sprinklers or porous hoses. Place curing mats so as to provide
coverage of the concrete surfaces and edges, with a 100 mm lap over adjacent mats.
Weight down the curing cover to maintain contact with the concrete surface.
