5. WORK PROCEDURES AND METHODOLOGY

S/N Description Method Plan
1 Stage 1 - Before commencing excavation, the pile cap area shall be
Setting Out marked on the ground after carrying out survey with
reference to control points. After excavation the levels of the
pit shall be checked for correctness to the drawings and
recorded. Longitudinal and transverse centerlines shall be
marked outside the pit for reference for cross checking the
pile. The shift of pile shall be recorded by marking the
theoretical coordinates of pile on ground and circle of
equivalent to pile diameter shall be drawn and shift of actual
pile will be measured from theoretical edges of pile. The as
built details of the piles shall be recorded jointly. Based on
shifted location of pile top, pile Cap / P.C.C. layout shall be
marked to ensure minimum 150 mm offset from outer edge
of pile. After laying of PCC, the layout of the pile cap shall be
marked on it with reference to the reference points to
facilitate tying of rebar and erection of shuttering.

2 Handling and Storage - All formwork and rebar should be transported to site by
means of lorry and unloaded appropriately using a mobile
crane. They shall be stored in a proper stockyard
allocated at site
3 Stage 2 - Shoring shall be provided depending upon the stability of the
Excavation soil found in the area. Shoring shall be done with the help of
old steel plates and props. At road locations the pit shall be
excavated to the dimensions providing working space all
around the pile cap, to facilitate fixing of steel & erection of
shuttering as detailed in the drawings. Provision for sump
shall be made at the comer of the pit to pump out
underground water of about 600 mm deep from PCC
bottom. The excavated earth shall be then disposed by
means of lorry dumper.
4 Removal of Laitance After excavation the laitance of the piles shall be removed by using
Pneumatic Jack Hammers seven days after casting of pile or
manually three days after casting of pile. The top of pile after
striping shall project 50 mm into the pile cap and reinforcements of
pile shall be fully anchored in pile cap. The debris of broken
concrete shall be removed from the pit and disposed of to approve
dumping sites. Exposed bars shall be straightened & cleaned
properly.

5 PCC - After levelling the bottom of the bed, sprinkle some water to
keep the soil moist. PCC of Mix G15 or specified in drawing
shall be mixed at the centralized batching plant at the
casting yard and transported to site in transit mixers. The
concrete shall directly pour through chutes from three
locations, shall be spread and levelled manually to the
specified thickness shown in the drawing. PCC edges shall
be projected 100 mm more than that of pile cap as detailed
in the drawing to facilitate the fixing of form work and levels
of PCC shall be jointly checked & verified. The PCC shall be
cured by sprinkling water.

6 Reinforcement - The Reinforcement shall be cut using cutting machines or

manually as required and cutting bending will be done at
site.

7 Fixing Re – bars - The re-bars shall be manually fixed into its position as
shown in the good for construction drawing. Reinforcement
of pile cap shall be lapped with the reinforcement of pile.
After fixing the pile cap rebar, pier shaft rebar shall be
erected. This rebar shall be supported by erecting a suitable
staging frame across the width of the pile cap. The rebar
cage shall be inspect by Engineer / Site representative. The
rebar, chairs, spacers & laps shall be jointly checked after
completion of cage placing. Sufficient chairs and spacers
shall be provided to keep the cage in its proper position.

8 Formwork - Formwork as per approved drawings shall be placed at

locations as per the pile cap dimensions shown in the good
for construction drawing. Reinforcement shall be fixed as per
the drawing and marking the layout on PCC for pile cap.
After completing the fixing of rebar cage formwork shall be
erected & fixed on the layout drawn on PCC. Before fixing,
the formwork area shall be cleaned. After fixing of the
formwork it shall be checked and inspect by Engineer / Site
representative. Proper side supports/bracings/tie bars shall
be provided to resist lateral pressure of green concrete
during pouring.

9 Concreting - The required (G-30) grade concrete shall be produced as

per the approved concrete design mix from the centralized
batching plant and transported by transit mixers to the
pouring location. Before pouring concrete, slump of 80 mm
to 130 mm shall be checked at pouring location. The
concrete shall be placed by direct chutes. Concrete placing
commences from one end to another in cascading manner
till completion. The drop height of the concrete should not be
more than 1.5 m. The concrete shall be vibrated by needle
vibrators. Concrete cubes shall be taken for testing of
compressive strength at pouring location. Concreting should
be done in such a way that next layer of concrete should be
laid before initial set of concrete of previous layer to avoid
cold joints. Regular tamping shall be done during & after
concreting operation. For concrete curing takes 21 day from
the date of concreting.
10 Backfilling - Immediately after formwork open, concrete surface shall be
checked jointly and get the approval for backfilling. Back
filling with local earth available or excavated material.

11 Rescue Plan / Emergency - To be managed at work site by first aid treatment if minor.
Situation - Report immediately to site representative if complex.
- All workers shall be briefed on the nearest clinic.
- Workers shall understand the emergency procedure and
escape route.
- Assembly point is the workers rest area.

12 Final Inspections - Contactor shall inform consultant on the inspection date and
schedule.
- Consultant shall be informed on the inspection schedule.
- All submission shall be done before inspection take place.
