confirm to all relevant IS code 8112:2013 as mentioned in the reference and as
specified in the contract. The cement shall be stored above ground in a suitable
weather tight go-down and in such a manner to permit easy access for proper
inspection and also to prevent deformation due to moisture.

Ensure that sufficient quantity of materials required is available for the days pour.
Ensure that all the P&M required for concreting are in working condition.
Ensure that man power required are in sufficient quantity for the days pour
Ensure that embedment like insert plates, bolts etc.
Concrete of required grade and workability shall be poured within 1 hour since mixing
Concrete shall not segregate while conveying and placing and the concrete shall be
mixed as near as possible to its final location. Concrete shall not be moved over long

Vibrator shall be applied systematically to cover all the areas immediately after placing
concrete.
The vibrator needle 40MM to 60MM shall penetrate the layer of concrete vertically and
into the underlying layer previously placed and vibrated if possible.
Stop the vibrating when the concrete flattens and takes up glistering appearance, the
rise of entrapped air ceases, the coarse aggregate blends into the surface but does
not completely disappear in the vibrator after an initial slowdown when inserted
resumes its speed.
Withdraw the vibrator slowly to ensure closing of the void resulting from insertion.
Always follow correct placing and techniques.
Ensure that the top layer of concrete is as required and finished suitably.
Ensure the curing for specified duration.
For large, unformed area structures like slabs, mass foundation curing shall be started
as soon as concrete has set and for formed surfaces curing shall start as soon as
formwork is removed.

5.2 SEQUENCE OF WORK

 The sequence of operation for concreting shall be as follows

SURVEY
Survey shall be conducted by the surveyor as per the co-ordinates shown in the

near the site in an undisturbed structure. This will be used in future activities &
periodically these survey points shall be checked to find the accuracy.
Before starting the activities for any building the closed transverse shall be completed.
The survey team shall do the marking for the column and other structures, which will
be checked by the site engineer.

EXCAVATION
Once the survey work is completed, the centerline shall be marked on the Portion to
be excavated.
The excavation may be done mechanically or manually according to the site and soil
condition to the required dimension and to the required depth as per the drawing with
due consideration for the workable space. Excavate as per the excavation scheme.
Avoid over excavation.
If the excavation is deeper adopt shoring if required.
Keep excavation pits free from water .use dewatering pumps if required.
Completed excavation, trim to required level, check level and dimensions. Approve for
PCC.
If the excavated soil is found sandy the same shall be used for backfilling otherwise
any other approved earth shall be used for backfilling.

PLAIN CEMENT CONCRETE WORKS

Ingredients for PCC viz., Coarse & Fine Aggregates, Cement and Water shall be
inspected and tested prior to incorporation into the works.
Inspected and tested coarse and fine aggregates shall be stacked near the mixer
machine. The quality of the materials will be judged frequently on a periodic basis to see
their fitness for use. The cement shall be stored in the Cement Go down batch wise, so
that it is consumed on a first in first out basis. Cement shall be stored properly so as to
avoid contact with the floor.

dimension
Weld the required no of lugs in the plate. Ensure proper arresting of the plates while
welding the plate with the lugs so that the face is not distorted.
Tie / Weld the lugs of the insert plate along with the main and shear rods. Check the
face of the insert plates after tying / welding the lugs, any rectification shall be done by
adjusting the lugs in the required locations.
If the concreting is a continuation of the existing structure, ensure that the structure is
chipped before placing the reinforcement & also the reinforcement of the existing
structure shall be over lapped and tied properly with the Reinforcement for which
concrete is to be done.
