2.5 Work Methodology

The sequence for Scope of Work is as follow:
 Design Calculation
 Construction Drawings Preparation
 Inspection of Delivered Materials
 Concrete Placement
 Concrete Curing
 Testing & Inspection
 As-Built Drawings Preparation
2.5.1 Design Calculation
a. Design Calculation of Adequate sizes and dimensions of the structures to be
poured with concrete shall be provided by the Consultant. The calculation shall be based
on the given Project Specification.
b. Design Calculation shall be submitted for Contractor’s & Engineer’s approval.
Upon approval, Construction Drawings shall commence.

2.5.2 Construction Drawings Preparation

a. Construction Drawings shall be based on the design calculations.
b. Review shall be necessary considering the comments, notes and instructions
of the Contractor and Engineer.
c. Approved Construction Drawings will be multiplied and shall be supplied to
Site Engineer and construction team for execution.

2.5.3 Inspection of Delivered Materials

The Site Engineer shall be responsible for:
a. Checking total quantities and types with purchase order.
b. Inviting the Contractor Engineer/s for inspection before transfer or use of main
materials for accessories to working areas.
c. Check quality of delivered materials.
d. Prepare a report and mention if there are incomplete or damaged items and
keep such materials separately to invite responsible.

2.5.4 Concrete Placement

a. Concrete is to be placed as close as possible to its final position and not
moved laterally by vibration. Concrete is not to be over vibrated.
b. Concrete is not to be dropped from a height exceeding 2m.
c. “Cold joints” of more than 40 minutes shall be avoided. Concrete shall be
placed not later than one hour after the addition of the mixing water. Pumping of
concrete shall only be permitted after approval from Company.
d. If during concreting rain is imminent sufficient plastic/canvas sheets should be
on hand to cover the entire casting area. If seepage water is coming into the excavation
in a significant volume or again if rain is imminent a water pump must be in place ready
to operate.
2.5.5 Concrete Curing.

a. After the initial set of the concrete and when the concrete is hard enough to not
be damaged by such an action, the exposed concrete surface shall be covered
with drenched hessian sacks. These sacks shall be left in position and
maintained in a soaked condition for seven days.
b. For formed surfaces the curing shall be applied as described above after the
formwork has been removed, or a curing compound shall be applied.
c. Laitance may be removed once the concrete is hard by light chipping wire
brushing.
d. Preparation of Construction joints shall be done by mechanical chipping taking
care not to dislodge the coarse aggregates. This is to be done at least 24 hours
after the completion of placing or a concrete surface retarder may be used.

Subcontractor 24 hours before the Contractor’s actual inspection of Steel
Reinforcement.
b. Contractor’s QA/QC to invite the Engineer for witnessing the inspection.

dimensions and surface defects, any non-conformity will be brought to the
attention of Company before rectification.
d. The action to be taken to resolve any non-conformity will be proposed by
main contractor and subsequently approved by consultant.
