ii) Different sizes of aggregates shall be separated from each other in bins or keeper
compartments with rigid dividing walls extending high enough to prevent different
aggregates from being mixed during batching. Plant

iii) In hot climates either shading or sprinkling clean water is required to reduce that Operator

fines and dust have not built up at the lower levels. If this has occurred, contaminated
aggregates shall be removed and washed or replaced with clean material.

iv) If aggregates are wet stockpiles shall be frequently inspected to make sure that
fines and dust have not built up at the lower levels. If this has occurred, contaminated
aggregates shall be removed and washed or replaced with clean material.

.5 Admixtures:

i) Storage of admixture shall be as per the manufacturers recommendations.

ii) The containers shall be levelled to indicate the contents, batch number, date of
manufacture, shelf life and any other requirements for storage.

.6 Water:

i) Water shall be stored as cool as possible, particularly if it has been supplied by

road tanker or shallow wells.

ii) Wherever possible, storage tanks shall be sited below ground. It this is not
possible, they should be at least be shaded from the sun and painted white.

iii) Tank to be covered properly to prevent the growth of algae.

iv) For cooling of water even site cooling towers can be used which reduces the
temperature up to 10OC or ice can be used.

immediately before it is used each day (or after any substantial interruption in
concreting) it shall be flushed out with water.

iv) Feed belts and weigh batchers shall be protected from the wind so that cement
cant be blown away.

v) Ensure the accuracy of all weighing and measuring equipment falls within + 3%
unless specified otherwise calibrate plant as necessary.

.8 Batching by Volume:

i) Prepare gauge boxes or similar standard containers of a size such that complete
filling is necessary when proportioning materials.

ii) Clear written instructions will be provided to the Plant operator on quantities of all
materials to be batched and batching sequence for each mix required.

iii) Priming of internal drum of mixer to be done at the time of loading the first batch

iv) Mix ingredients for sufficient time as specified to ensure uniform distribution of
materials.

v) Check the zero reading when hopper is empty.

vi) Check the speed of mixer drum once a week and adjust to that given in the
manufacturers manual.

vii) Regular maintenance of moving parts shall be done in accordance with the
