SCOPE
The scope of this procedure covers the control of
installation of in-situ concrete paving surfaces
including finishes to ensure compliance with the
contract specifications.

All activities connected with concrete pavings will be Project

carried out in accordance with the contract Manage
specifications.
In
any
circumstances
where r
specifications are not provided or unclear, clarification
will be sought from the Consultants representative.

Forema
n

i)

Where a structural concrete slab itself forms the

flooring or where a topping is laid monolithically
or bonded to a hardened base, the wearing
surface shall be adequately protected against
damage during subsequent building operations.

ii)

In hot or drying conditions, care shall be taken

that the concrete mixes do not stiffen or dry out Gen.
to an extent that prevents full compaction. After Forema
compaction and finishing, the surface shall not n
be allowed to dry out quickly and this may be
achieved by protection by plastic sheeting or
other suitable means. In addition where concrete
is laid in the open, its surface shall be protected
from the effects of the sun and wind to limit the
risk of cracking.

iii)

Compaction of concrete shall be carried out in

such a way that an excess of `laitance is not Gen.
brought to the surface.
Forema
n
For the highest abrasion resistance, the final
trowelling shall be made when considerable
pressure is required to make any impression on Gen.
the surface. However excessive trowelling should Forema
be avoided to prevent the production of a n
polished or slippery finish. Water shall not be
applied between trowelling operations as this
may cause surface weakness.

iv)

Curing shall be done as specified.

v)

When topping is laid separately and bonded, the Site

surface of the base shall be thoroughly prepared Engr
