means of wooden stopper at 10m to 20m interval
depending on length to be taken at a time.
 Pouring will be done in layers and proper
compaction will be ensured by using needle vibrators.
Electrically operated vibrators with different dia
needles viz. 60mm or 40 mm will be used for
compaction of poured concrete depending upon the
thickness of the layer.
 Tarpaulin sheet will be kept at site to protect fresh
