1. INTRODUCTION
The American Concrete Institute (ACI) defines mass concrete as: any volume of concrete with
dimensions large enough to require that measures be taken to cope with the generation of heat from
hydration of the cement and attendant volume change to minimize cracking (ACI 207.1R-05). However,
for simplicity, all concrete structure of which the smallest dimension is greater than 800 mm is
considered to be mass concrete.
This document covers the methods and extra precautions that may be required for any volume of mass
concrete. The precautions before, during and after the pouring are explained.
The only difference between Normal concrete and Mass concrete is the insulation and the installation
/ monitoring of thermocouples to control the Heat Of Hydration. All other aspects as pouring, curing,
removal of formwork are the same for both normal and mass concrete.
2. SCOPE
The preparation of formwork and reinforcement (including cutting and bending), as well as the pouring of
the concrete is beyond the scope of this document, except for the precautions required for the control of
excessive Heat of Hydration.
Some considerations for thick blocks (d > 0.6-m), like the verification of method by trials and the use of
thermocouples, are also discussed in this document.
The form work of mass concrete shall be insulated & thermocouples be installed. As soon as possible
after completion of the pouring the top surface of the fresh concrete shall also be insulated.
The repair of cracks and honeycombing is also beyond the scope of this document.
3. HSSE
All works shall be in compliance with the State of Qatar laws and regulations, Ras Laffan Industrial City
and international standards/codes, and Company and Contractor requirements and instructions.
All personnel will go through Gama, Linde and Company Safety Induction courses as well as other
trainings as identified by their supervisor. For details, reference is made to GTL-GM-001-A-5635.
A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) specific for this work including a Risk Assessment, is prepared as per
Gama procedure GTL-GM-001-A-5626 and is attached herein. Such JSA addresses the hazards
associated with each task within the scope of this Method Statement and introduces the controls that will
be implemented to reduce the associated risks to acceptable levels. The JSA will be used by the Site
Supervisor as the basis of his TSTI / TSTO and Toolbox Talks.
All personnel will have PPE required for their specific tasks in addition to the minimum PPE (coveralls,
safety goggles, safety shoes, high-visibility vests, gloves) at site at all times as required.
In the event of a release, fire or explosion, employees will secure their area and evacuate to the nearest
muster point. Once all employees are evacuated the supervisor will conduct a headcount to verify all
employees are out of harms way. The supervision will report this to Contractor. Emergency Contact
numbers for Company, Contractor and Gama will be posted onsite.
All vehicles and equipment used for the subject work will be inspected and certified as required.
