 The area to be excavated will be clearly marked on the surface using lime;
 Physical barriers will be erected around the excavation where appropriate.
 The groundworks contractor will liaise with the client/contractor to ensure that any live
services on the site have been identified and clearly marked. Where necessary
handdigging measures will be used to expose existing services.
 The material from the excavation will be loaded into a dumper and tipped away from

placing concrete using the excavator.

7
  Formation level to be inspected and passed. The excavation is to be filled with
concrete to the required level as set out using a laser.

material & Engineer’s approval will be taken before concreting begins.
 Before placing concrete all formwork therein will be cleaned of all extraneous material
and dust and made free of any standing water.
 In continuing concrete, fresh concrete will be placed before the already placed
concrete is less than 20 minutes.
 Concrete of specified grade will be placed & compacted in horizontal layers normally
not exceeding 300mm in depth.
 Concrete will not be dropped from a height greater than 1.5m to prevent segregation.
