Ready mix concrete will be used by the approval of Engineer as per specification.
Or
Ordinary Portland cement SLS 107 or Blended hydraulic cement SLS 1247 will be used by the approval of Engineer as per specification.
Coarse aggregate obtained from approved crusher plant to Sub Section 1701.2 of the specification. For the above sub section aggregate impact value test will be carried out accordance with clause vi of BS 812 Part iii 1975.
Fine aggregate - River Sand to Sub Section 1701.2 of the specification will be obtained from approved sources. Fine aggregate will be stockpiled with identification at site and will be tested for any clay particles in our site laboratory. This will be carried out in the presence of consultant staff.
Other Site Laboratory or central laboratory is functioning at Access site (NPRP) Premises to carry out routine tests such as Grading of aggregate, Clay & silt content of aggregate, Preliminary strength test, cube casting, slump testing etc
2.0 Construction Procedure
After excavation of drains, to required dept and with, bottom of drain will be compacted by manually. As directed by the engineer blind concrete (Grade 15) will be laid on drain bottom.
2.1 Reinforcement Bar schedules will be prepared following the approved structural drawings and submitted for the Engineer’s approval. Reinforcement (R6mm, R10mm, Y10mm &Y16mm) will be used and bent according to comply with Specification requirement. Surfaces of reinforcement will be maintained clean and free from foreign matters always will be handled and stored in a bench or above ground.
2.2 Fabrication After receiving the approved bar schedules, the fabrication will be done according to the shape and dimensions in the structural drawings with the tolerances according to the Specification Section 1002.3 (b) (ii). 2 Method Statement For Side Drain and Lead Away Drains DOCUMENT NO METHOD STATEMENT LOGO REVISION TITLE SIDE DRAIN AND LEAD AWAY DRAINS
Cutting of steel bars will be done by using Hacksaw on a suitable Bench or by
using a Steel cutter.
2.3 Bending
The Bending of steel bars will be done on a suitable Bench locally made.
Adequate care will be taken for bending for maintaining the tolerances as follows according to the specification.
Clear cover at the location of bar chairs will be –0 to +5 mm (referring to the
specification 1002.3(g).
3.0 Formwork
All formworks will be made of steel shutters or Plywood and will be maintained free from rust and dent with no surface blemishes.
3.1 Construction & Site Related requirements
a. Clearance Around Form Works
The Arrangement for supporting formwork shall be to give the least practicable obstruction to access for placing concrete and handling vibrator equipment.
3.2 Weep Holes
Weep holes (50mm dia.) will be placed according to drawings or as directed by the Engineer. They will be placed properly and not have any movement at the time of concrete. Form ties and other temporary fittings used for the support of the formwork shall be arranged in manner of their removal without damage to the concrete.
3.3 Erection of Formworks
After the forms are erected the dimension and position will be carefully checked to the line. The joints in formwork as erected will be mortar tight by using some material.
The interior surface of forms will be treated by Form oil (a mixture Diesel and grease) Coating will be uniformly spread in a thin film. Forms will be treated before placing reinforcement so that the oil or grease will not soil the surface of the steel. Any embedded metal will be placed not less than minimum cover (50mm) for the surface. All foreign materiel will be removed before pouring of concrete from the forms.

3.4 Tolerances for Formworks
As the formwork is made to finish concrete to the shape, line and dimensions of the drawing’s tolerances will be maintained not to exceed the tolerances as mentioned in Table 1001.10 in special specification.
4.0 Concreting
4.1 Casting for Line Drain Units and concrete cover slabs
Formwork and reinforcement will be prepared according to the type of plan or Design drawing, or other shape directed by the Engineer.
Formworks will be made by well clean steel shutters or any approved materials with necessary supports and props over the prepared casting bed to the shape, lines and dimensions with tolerances mentioned in Specification 1001.10 concrete of as follows.
Item Tolerance /(mm)
General • Placing of reinforcement 5 • Concrete over 0 to +5 Cross Section • Dimension – less than 2m 0 to +3
• Out of square Maximum 5
Squareness of ends Dimension from a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a member, or from the specified end plane • Dimension – less than 500mm 3mm - greater than 500mm 6mm per meter (10mm maximum)
Length • Diagonal length of the precast unit 5
• Overall length or length center to center
of bearings (for beams and slabs) 0.6mm (As the length of the unit is 1.0 m)

4.2 Compaction
Concrete will be compacted by using poker vibrators according to the
specification requirement. The vibrator will be inserted into the concrete vertically until the whole of the concrete around it has been vibrated to its full depth, then withdrawn slowly and reinserted at the next position not more than 400mm from the previous position. Where more than one layer is placed in a continuous operation, the vibrator will be inserted to penetrate the full depth of the top layer and into the layer below to ensure successive are well knitted together.
4.3 Curing
Formworks will be removed 24 hours after casting, and curing will be done by covering wetted gunny bags. Gunny bags shall be soaked with water for the following 7 days.
4.4 Repair of Formed Surface
After removing the form works holes porous spots, shallow honeycombs, rough areas or other minor defects in the concrete surface will be repaired by removing any loose or defective material and filling with stiff cement mortar which having same proportion of Cement and fine aggregate in the used concrete subject to 4.4.1 and 4.4.2.
4.4.1 Minor Repairs.
Minor repair will be done after getting approval from the engineer for repair procedure. Until such repairs are commenced the defective surface will be kept continuously moist. Repairs will be done within 7 days after the removal of form works.
4.4.2 Major Repair.
The construction joints will be saturated before concreting.
All areas of honeycombs or non-compaction which are visible when the forms are removed are considered as major defects. In such a case QCM will issue Non-Conformance Report (NCR) with a copy to the Engineer. After inspecting the Engineer, repair will be done according to the approved method statement. Major repair shall be cut back to sound concrete and the cavity will be extending 20 mm in minimum behind the exposed reinforcement. The cavity will be in square. 5 Method Statement For Side Drain and Lead Away Drains DOCUMENT NO METHOD STATEMENT LOGO REVISION TITLE SIDE DRAIN AND LEAD AWAY DRAINS
5.0 Backfilling
Filling around the structure will be done using approved filling material and backfilling will be commenced only after the concrete has matured. In case of emergency filling it, it will be with the Engineer’s approval.
Compaction of backfilled will be done as described below.
The top 450mm of the layers will be compacted to a density not less than 98% of maximum dry density and lower layers of the backfill will be compacted to a density not less than 95% of maximum dry density by the Modified compaction according to test 13 BS 1377 –75.
The maximum thickness of loose material will be 225mm or determined from
compaction trials using the actual compaction plant.
6.0 Measurements
Pre-cast cover slabs will be measured in cum according pay item 806 (4)
Excavation and backfilling for units will be measured in cum. under pay item 301A (1, 2, and 3).
Casting drains will be measured in cum. and pay items will be 701 (2) a & b.
7.0 Safety precautions
• Safety helmets, Hand gloves will be provided.
• All site personnel will be acknowledged regarding safety precautions • First aid box will be maintained at the site • Proper communication facilities will be maintained with accident Prevention Officer.
