 IV. Construction Procedure
 First of all layout before excavation will be made as per IFC drawing (Coordinates) and
NSL record will be maintained for each foundation. Survey report will be recorded for
Client’s review.
 Excavation will be done with Excavator (with bucket and jack hammer) up to required
level as per IFC drawing.
 Plate load bearing test will be conducted at the designed foundation bottom level after
cleaning the loose soil after excavation.
 Lean concrete will be placed with required thickness and levelled.
 Water curing of the lean concrete will start after final set of the lean concrete or approved
curing compound will be applied.
 Base ring installation will be done according to designer's instruction and IFC drawings.
 Layout will be done on lean concrete.
 Bottom rebar fixing will be done as per IFC drawing.
 Earth strip which will within foundation will be arranged and laid according to IFC
drawings.
 Top reinforcement and other reinforcement will be fixed as per IFC drawings.
 Cable conduit pipe will be arranged according to IFC drawings in during top layer rebar
fixing.
 Other reinforcement will be laid according to IFC drawing.
 During rebar work, formwork will start and will be completed after all rebar work
complete.
 6 number of temperature sensors will be fixed in foundation at position as mentioned in
drawing.
 Brace the end adequately support all forms so as to maintain the desired position during
and after the placing of concrete and build sufficiently tight to prevent from mortar
leakage.
 Before pouring the concrete, a final survey for Base Ring (level and alignment) and
foundation will be done and approved by Client.
 After written approval of RIT (request for inspection & testing), concrete pouring will be
started from one side with a concrete layer not exceeding than 300 mm properly
compacted (vibrated) and will be completed in one go (monolithic).

  The concrete shall be transported to site in transit mixers immediately after mixing and
shall be placed within 90 minutes of the water being added.
 After placing, compaction shall be done thoroughly around all reinforcement, embedded
fixtures and internal corners and forms with internal vibrators according to the procedure
conforming to project specifications or codes.
 Concrete temperature will be measured and maintained to as low as possible, however
shall not higher than 32 degree as per ACI requirement.
 Concrete placing slump will be as per specified 180±30 mm for pump concrete.
 For all concrete sampling & testing please refer QIP. 4 cubes will be casted from each
25m3 concrete.
 Great care will be taken while pouring of concrete for pedestal so that Anchor cage level
and alignment should not be disturbed.
 Concrete finished surface will be levelled with wooden towel to get surface condition as
per specified.
 After 48 hrs. of concrete placement, stripping of formwork will be done.
 Bitumen basis curing compound will be applied after initial set.
 If some major damage or defect exists, conduct inspection of the location jointly with
Client and submit the proposed method statement for performance of repairs and get it
approved in written before commencing such repairs.
 Earthling strips around the foundation should be correctly connected and arranged as per
IFC drawings.

V. Curing
Approved Bitumen basis curing compound will be applied immediately after final set and
make sure the surface in not dry before application.

VI. Backfilling
Backfilling will be started after 7 days of pouring of the foundation. Backfilling material
will be approved by the Client. Backfilling will be done layer by layer, with each layer of
150 mm thickness and achieved the designed compaction ratio.
