CIVIL WORKS FUNDAMENTALS

The general information given hereunder applies to all civil works in addition to the General Design Fundamentals, and unless specified in greater detail in sections on special conditions or specific installations. 1 INTRODUCTION

The civil works are governed by the conditions of the electromechanical part, and as far as they are not supplemented by data, by the conditions or specifications stipulated hereafter. However, any local laws and regulations shall prevail, such as the "Abu Dhabi Municipality Building Regulation and Guide Lines for Structural Design (1994)". Detailed execution features of the civil work are described in the relevant sections of the Specifications. This document shall represent the basic specification and information for calculating the lump sum price of the works concerned, but they should not be considered to be a complete description in every respect. Tender drawings indicate the intended layout of the works, but are not to be taken as a complete and dimensional reference. The price offered shall be understood as the total sum for the complete civil and finishing works to suit the requirements and the functions of the Works concerned. Design and choice of construction materials shall consider and ensure the reduction of future maintenance works, and therefore, all civil elements shall be designed to minimise maintenance and to result in a durable construction with a minimum design life of 40 years. The Bidder/Contractor shall prepare all necessary design and detail drawings in accordance with the Project requirements. However, the following guidelines design criteria shall be strictly followed and applied in view of the proposed equipment, and are having priority over the Tender drawing details. 2 STANDARDS CODES AND REFERENCES FOR CIVIL WORK

Except where otherwise stipulated, all civil works materials, tests of works, investigations on Site, installation and construction methods, and also manufacturing procedures shall comply as a minimum with the following codes and standards:
