REF NO:
Work instruction for Masonry Work REV NO. : 00
EFF DATE : 10-10-2023

Responsibility:
The Engineering Team Incharge is responsible to execute the work as per work procedure.

Safety & protection:


Ensure the workers use safety appliances like safety belts at height, helmets, safety goggles, safety shoes, etc.

Ensure the working area is kept clean for easy access.

Proper illumination to be provided during the work if required.

Educate the workmen through Work Instructions.

Preparatory Works:

The amount of the water added shall be adjusted to compensate for any variations in the moisture content. To
allow for variations in the mass of aggregates due to variation in the moisture content, suitable adjustments in
the masses of aggregates shall be made.

Ensure all equipment related to the concrete are available and is in working condition.

Production of Concrete:

Production of concrete should be done as per approved mix design and by weight batching only. In any case, do
not allow volume batching.

The concrete shall be mixed in a mechanical mixer. The mixing shall be continued until there is a uniform
distribution of the materials & the mass is uniform in color & consistency.

All Concrete will be conveyed from the mixer and/or Batching Plant to the place of final deposit in buckets,
transit mixers, containers, without segregation.

Concrete will be transported with all precautions to prevent loss of water by evaporation in hot weather and
heat loss in cold weather conditions. No concrete will be transported and placed in the open, while it rains.

All equipment used for transporting and placing concrete will be thoroughly cleaned after each time of usage.

The mix after discharging from the mixers shall be transported by wheelbarrows, buckets, pumps, etc. without
causing segregation and loss of cement slurry and without altering its desired properties, with regard to water-
cement ratio, slump, cohesion, and homogeneity.

Placing:

Before placing the Concrete all reinforcements steels, embedded parts, water stoppers shall be correctly placed,
aligned, and securely held in positions and formwork fixed. Concrete will be deposited in successive layers in
its final position, as nearly as practicable, to avoid segregation due to re-handling.

The concrete shall be placed & compacted before the initial setting of concrete commences & each layer of
concrete shall be compacted fully before the succeeding layer is placed
For locations where direct placement is not possible and in particular through narrow forms, suitable drop
chutes will be provided to confine the concrete in movement.

Compaction:

Each layer of Fresh Concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by vibrators.

A vibrator needle shall be inserted vertically inside the Concrete and shall be allowed to penetrate through by
its own weight. Vibration shall not be stopped when the needle is immersed in Concrete.

The vibrator shall penetrate fully into the layer being placed and also penetrate about 100 to 200 mm in the
already consolidated lower layer for good bond and homogeneity between the two layers and to prevent the
formation of cold joints.

Curing of Concrete:

Exposed surfaces of concrete shall be kept in a damp or wet condition by ponding (with vatta of 50mm thick)
or by covering with a layer of sacking, canvas, or similar materials.

The curing shall be started after the initial setting time of concrete & the same shall be continued for a
minimum of 10 days.
The curing water shall be the same as that is used for construction purposes.

Concrete surface:
1. The face of concrete for which formwork is not provided other than slabs shall be floated to a smooth finish.
The floating shall be done so as not to bring an excess of mortar to the surface of the concrete.

2. Slab top should be broomed finish.

3. After casting of column and walls, do insert 20mm metal halfway into it to form a construction joint.

4. All Concrete surfaces which receive plaster should be hacked properly with hacking tools.
