the Contractors over-cut or improper operation shall be repaired by the Contractor at the
Contractors own expense. Where required by the Drawings and Technical Specifications or
directed by the Engineer, such voids caused by over-cut shall be filled back with suitable
materials as indicated by the Engineer at the expense of the Contractor. Compaction may be
required to such fill-back material as instructed by the Engineer. For back-filling the void,
the Engineer may instruct use of ready-mixed concrete if the original ground is hard
material.

When any excavation has been completed and trimmed, the Engineer shall be informed
accordingly so that he may inspect the completed excavation to check the dimensions of
excavation, the character of the foundation material and any testing as specified herein to be
completed by the Contractor. No excavation shall be filled in or covered with concrete until
it has been inspected and approved by the Engineer.

3.3.2.3. Structure Excavation

This item shall consists of excavating, removing, and stockpiling or satisfactorily disposing
of all materials within limits of work as necessary for construction for below grade concrete
structures required under this Contract; backfilling respective to such excavations; except to
extent shown or specified for this portion of work; and all in accord with these specifications
and in conformity with dimensions and sections shown on Drawings and to lines and grades
established.

Section VI-WR-3-16
(1) Definitions

Term Line(s) as used herein shall mean any type of pipe, duct, cable or conduit where
Trenching and Backfilling is required.

1) Construction Requirements
Rock Excavation

The Contractor shall do all rock excavation to specified depth shown or required, including
all required additional depth for bedding. Rock excavation shall consist of removal of
boulders and of all rock in place.

Where rock, or soil containing rocks or gravel, hard pan, or other unyielding foundation
material is encountered in trench excavation, lines shall be bedded in accord with
requirements specified for bedding and requirements as follows:

Bedding shall consist of sand layer under unpaved area and cradle concrete shall be placed
under pavement area.

Cross section of bottom of trench shall be excavated to a horizontal section as far as

practicable.

Longitudinal bottom of trench shall be excavated evenly and smoothly as far as practicable.

2) Trenching
Excavated material not required or acceptable for backfill shall be disposed of by the
Contractor as directed by the Engineer. Excavation shall not be carried out below required
depth; but when it is, trench shall be backfilled at the Contractor's expense with material
approved by the Engineer and compacted to same density required for adjacent soils or
embankment.

When directed, unstable soil shall be removed for full width of trench and replaced with sand
or with approved suitable material. The Engineer shall determine depth of removal of
unstable soil and amount of backfill necessary. Backfill shall be compacted and shaped to a
firm but slightly yielding condition to form bed for line.

3) Safety Requirements
The Contractor shall do such trench bracing, sheeting, or shoring necessary to perform and
protect trench excavation required for safety and conformance to governing laws.

Bracing, sheeting, or shoring shall not be removed in one operation but shall be done in
successive stages, as approved in advance by the Engineer, and as necessary to prevent
overloading of line during backfilling operations.

4) General Backfill Material

Except where otherwise specified or directed by the Engineer, all filling material shall be
obtained from areas to be excavated within the Site.

Section VI-WR-3-17
 Fill material shall generally consist of an approval soil, free from vegetable or organic matter
and may contain a proportion of rock or stone fragments, provided that these are not likely,
in the opinion of the Engineer, to interfere with the compaction works, promote settlement or
cause damage to any construction works or structure.

Excavated materials shall be hauled for embankment or disposition to places within the
project premises as directed by the Engineer.

5) Backfilling
All trench excavation shall be backfilled within a reasonable time after lines are installed and
tested unless other protection is provided, except shall not be backfilled until approved by
the Engineer.

Backfill material shall be approved suitable material from excavation or borrow.

Material for remaining portion of backfilling shall be same as that required for embankments,
whether or not trenches occur within or under embankment. Backfill material shall be
moistened or dried as necessary to achieve compaction required. Backfill shall be done in a
manner to avoid injurious top or side pressures on line and to avoid any disturbance of lines
as finally placed. Under paved areas, sub-grade, any backfill shall be compacted to density
required for embankments for paved areas.

6) Cleaning and Restoration of Site

After backfill is completed, the Contractor shall dispose of all surplus material, dirt, and
rubbish from Site. Surplus soil may be deposited in embankment, shoulders, or as ordered by
the Engineer.

The Contractor shall restore all disturbed areas to their original condition.

The Engineer may request the Contractor that backfilled trench be covered with temporary
surfacing course and be used against traffic for some period in order to avoid the height
difference due to the settlement of backfilled material.

3.3.2.4. Excavation for Embankment

(1) Excavated Material for Embankment and Backfill

So far as practicable, all material suitable for fill, obtained from either excavated material or
from borrow pit areas shall be used for embankment.

If the material for excavation is combination of suitable and unsuitable materials, the
Contractor shall, unless otherwise instructed by the Engineer, carry out the excavation in
discriminative manner that suitable material shall be excavated separately without being
mixed with unsuitable material.

All suitable materials to be used for embankment shall be approved by the Engineer
regardless of the source. The material shall be determined according to the following table.

Section VI-WR-3-18
 Table- II.1 Specification of Material for Embankment
Suitable Material Unsuitable Material
Maximum size 100 mm Maximum size > 100 mm
Plasticity Index 15 % Plasticity Index < 15 %
Liquid Limit 50 %
Hard fresh rock and weathered rocks containing organic material

(2) Stockpiling of Excavated Material

It is desirable that suitable material for filling shall be placed in the designated final locations
directly from the excavation.

The material shall be determined by the Engineer evaluating the laboratory test results
submitted by the Contractor.

If excavated material is too wet for immediate use, it may be placed temporarily in stockpiles.
When the moisture content of the stockpiled material has dropped sufficiently to satisfy the
Specifications, it may be used in embankment or backfill if the moisture test satisfies the
Engineer. Under certain circumstances such as the fill area is large enough and the weather is
favourable, the Engineer may approve direct dumping of the excavated material to
embankment or backfill places. Compaction to the material so dumped shall be subject to the
approval of the Engineer who shall examine moisture content test results submitted by the
Contractor.

(3) Disposal of Excessive Material

Surplus excavated material or materials unsuitable for the use in permanent works shall be
disposed of in spoil banks to be provided by the Contractor. The Contractor shall trim and
regulate the spoil banks to two (2) meters height in maximum or other levels as approved by
the Engineer. The Contractor shall also protect and maintain, without interruption, the flow
of watercourses affected by those spoil banks. In case the surface of the spoil banks is found
to be covered by selected material as approved by Engineer, in order to avoid contamination
to the surroundings or by as claimed by inhabitants nearby, the Engineer shall order the
Contractor to provide such coverage and the Contractor shall execute it at his own expense.

3.3.3. Earth Embankment

3.3.3.1. General

The Contractor shall perform the embankment works as shown on the Drawings or as
directed by the Engineer. All suitable materials obtained by excavation shall be used for the
construction of embankment. Embankment shall be preferably constructed during dry
seasons.

3.3.3.2. Treatment before Embankment starts

The top soil where embankment is designed to be placed, shall be stripped for the depth of
about 10 cm unless otherwise indicated on the Drawings or directed by the Engineer, and
made completely free of grass, stone, root and any other debris, prior to placement of the fill
material. The top soil and other foreign matters removed shall be disposed of at the
Contractors spoil bank or other places as directed by the Engineer. The surface for
embankment fill shall be treated by the Contractor, prior to placement of any fill, by means
of land clearing, stripping, sliding prevention, and so on by methods as approved by the
Engineer.

3.3.3.3. Acquisition of Embankment Materials

The embankment materials shall not contain any timber log, stump, brush, weed, root, any
other organic material, clod of more than 15 cm in size, sludge or other objectionable
materials. Embankment material shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer.

The earth material to be used for the embankment shall be confined within the depth as
directed by the Engineer. In case noticeable change in quality of the earth material is found
in the course of the excavation work, it shall be reported to the Engineer for his instruction.

The earth material for the embankment shall be transported through the shortest route
between the borrow area to the embankment site or the route directed by the Engineer. The
earth material transported shall be directly spread and compacted in accordance with these
Specifications without being stockpiled at the embankment site except when required for
better efficiency of construction, quality control of materials or other reasons as approved or
directed by the Engineer.

No separate payment shall be made for the works prescribed herein above. All the costs for
performing the works in this sub-clause are deemed to have been allowed for in the unit
prices for various excavation works or embankment works stated in the Bill of Quantities.

3.3.3.4. Spreading

The embankment material transported from the excavation works, borrow areas or stock
piles shall be directly dumped to the embankment area and spread out immediately. The
embankment material shall be spread horizontally using appropriate equipment. Manpower
may be used for spreading in case of small quantity embankment fill.

Depth of a spread layer before compaction shall be such that the resulted depth after
compaction shall not exceed the depth defined hereinafter. In order to achieve sufficient
compaction for side slope shoulders of the embankment, the embankment material shall be
added about 40 cm outside embankment where slope is 1:1 and 60 cm outside embankment
where slope is 1:1.5 as shown in the design cross sections. Cobble stones of more than 15 cm
in diameter shall be removed from the material and disposed of.

Section VI-WR-3-20
 If in the course of spreading work rainfall of more than 5 mm/hour strength occurs and the
Engineer judges compaction work is not desirable, the work shall be suspended until the
approval of the Engineer to resume the work. When the work is resumed, wet material shall
be dried up naturally or removed in accordance with the direction of the Engineer.

3.3.3.5. Compaction

Immediately after spreading of the material, compaction shall take place so that moisture
content of the material will not change because of drying or wetting.

Compaction shall be carried out by means of approved compacting equipment to achieve dry
density of not less than 90 % of the maximum dry density. Number of compaction shall be
determined according to the results of trial embankment or as directed by the Engineer. In
case the width of the area to be compacted is less than 1 m measured in cross section, the
compaction shall be made using 80 kg type rammer or equivalent compactor. Each layer
after compaction shall not be more than 30 cm for main body and not more than 20 cm for
surface layer.

Field density test to examine the dry density of embankment compaction shall be carried out
at a rate of one (1) per spread area of 500 m2 or as directed by the Engineer. Three (3)
samples shall be required for a test.

The dry density and moisture content measured at site shall conform to the following
standards:

(1) Allowable moisture content: Moisture content at which dry density of more than 90% of the
maximum dry density (d max) in standard compaction test shall be achieved.

(2) Standard dry density: Dry density (d) more than 90% of dmax.

For the purpose of field density test and water content determination, at least sand cone
method and Speedy Moisture Tester using carbide (CaC2) powder shall be used.

In order to compensate the settlement loss of the embankment height after compaction, extra
fill of 10 cm or as directed by the Engineer, shall be placed.

After all of the compaction work is completed, additional embankment part at the fringe of
the side slope shall be removed by means of appropriate equipment.

The finished surface of the embankment after compaction shall be graded to the profile
shown on the Drawings. The bank shall be trimmed to provide finished surface with
tolerance of 5 cm for the height and 10 cm for width.

Provisions shall be made always at filling sites for temporary drainage systems with
sufficient slopes for draining rain water to outside of the embankment.

Section VI-WR-3-21
3.3.3.6. Trial Embankment

Before any of the embankment work is started, the Contractor shall conduct the trial
embankment to demonstrate the performance of equipment for spreading and compacting
which is scheduled to be used for the actual embankment.

The program for the test, which includes the scope of testing, time schedule, test work items,
test method and the method of analysis and evaluation, shall be submitted to the Engineer for
his approval. Depending on the results of the test embankment, the Specifications for
materials and embanking method, such as thickness of a layer, passage number of
compacting equipment may be modified as directed by the Engineer.

When there is shortage of fill material for embankment, the Contractor may have to use
material of borrow pits, as instructed by the Engineer. If the material at the borrow pit is too
dry to keep adequate moisture content throughout the execution of the embankment, the
Contractor may have to sprinkle water at the borrow pits. If the material brought into the
embankment site is found too dry, the Contractor shall sprinkle water to the material already
spread out until it achieves optimum moisture content.

In case of rainfall of more than 5 mm/hour in the strength, the borrowing of soil shall be
suspended until the approval of the Engineer is given. In case remarkable change of soil
properties is found in the course of the excavation work, it shall be reported to the Engineer,
and laboratory test shall be conducted to confirm the suitability of the earth material.
Excavation of material at the borrow pits shall be resumed only when the Engineer approves
it after examining the laboratory test results.

In case earth material has to be sourced from areas other than those designated on the

provisions shall be made by the Contractor for the Engineer to visit intended sources of the
aggregate at any time during the construction time under the Contract.

Upon inspection of delivered aggregates, the Engineer may instruct the Contractor to remove
the aggregate or wash it or order him to carry out laboratory tests in addition to the periodical
test requirement as hereinafter stipulated, depending on the degree of obvious contamination
or irregularity of the aggregate delivered.

(4) Storage of Aggregate

The Contractor shall submit proposed aggregate storage and handling methods to the
Engineer for his approval before commencing concrete works. The proposals shall be in a
sufficient detail to demonstrate that the material will not be contaminated and shall include, a
minimum requirement of the provisions set out herein.

Well-drained and separated stockpiles for different types of aggregates shall be provided
both at the aggregate sources and at the stockpiles on the Site. A suitable measure shall be
taken to prevent mixing of different aggregates or contamination by foreign matters.
Aggregates from different sources shall be stored separately.

At work places within the Site where a few quantities of aggregates may be piled, such as for
canal lining or small structures, the Contractor shall place the aggregates on timber mats or
platforms to avoid direct contact with the ground. Delivery and off-loading of the aggregates
to such places shall be done in such a manner to avoid the aggregates contamination or
segregation. Types of chutes to deliver the aggregates to the timber mats may be required for
this end.

(5) Water

The water used in mixing concrete shall be subject to the Engineers approval. It may be
close to potable water quality, free from injurious amount of oil, acid, alkalis, salt, organic
and other material substances that may be deleterious to concrete or reinforcement. Quality

Section VI-WR-3-33
 of the mixing water shall be confirmed with the Standards of PBI 71-NI, or ASTM C70 or
AASTHO T-26 Standards.

The Contractor shall when directed by the Engineer have the water tested by an approved
testing institute to demonstrate its suitability for purpose.

3.4.6. Concrete Mix Proportions and Trial Mixes

The Contractor shall perform trial mixtures for all concrete types required in the works after
all concrete materials have been duly approved by the Engineer.

The practice of trial mixes shall continue until the Contractor himself is satisfied that the mix
is well workable and extent of segregation is minimal while transporting and placing. The
trial mix shall also aim to achieve minimum cement and water content while satisfying
required strength.

The Contractor shall then submit to the Engineer for his review and approval all trial mix test
data and results, including mix proportions and compressive strength results of 7-day, 14-day
and 28-day of cylinder (or cube) tests. The final mix proportions for each type of concrete
shall be determined by the Engineer based on such data submitted by the Contractor. The
Engineer may instruct the Contractor for further mix trials or modify the mix proportions of
his own recommendations.

Once the mix proportions are approved by the Engineer, these shall be converted into
material proportioning for the field batching and mixing. Aggregates and cement shall be
measured by weight. Water and admixture shall be measured by volume. All of them shall be
subject to the approval of the Engineer.

Classes of the concrete depending on the type of structure are given in the following table:

Table- II.13 Concrete Classification with Type of Works

Concrete Classification Location in the Works
K-375 Building structure include foundation
K-250 Cast in place pile
K-175 Blinding concrete, and Culvert

The concrete strength refer to 28-day compressive strength, which is determined by making
and crushing cylindrical samples of 15 cm in diameter and 30 cm in height, and shall be in
accordance with SNI 03-6369-2000 91.100.30, or JIS A 1132 or AASHTO T 23.
Classifications of the concrete are shown in the table below:

Section VI-WR-3-34
 Table- II.14 Concrete Mix Portions

K-175 175 150 37.5 0.60 18
K-100 100 80 25.0 0.70 18

The practice of adding water to ready-mixed-concrete is strictly prohibited. When this

malpractice is noted, the Engineer may reject the structure in whole where this concrete is
placed.

3.4.7. Concrete Mixing

The mixing shall be done in concrete batching and mixing plant. For drum mixer, the
minimum mixing time is 150 seconds, while for paddle mixer, the time is 50 seconds.

In case site conditions or the Contractors work methods require small volumes of mixed
concrete, portable mechanical concrete mixers may be used as approved by the Engineer.

Hand mixing of concrete shall not be permitted under any circumstances.

Aggregates, cement and water shall be accurately batched by weight or volume. The
Contractor shall provide and obtain the Engineer's approval for suitable and sturdy
volumetric boxes and buckets at each of the portable mixers in use.

The Contractor shall employ supervisors and workers of good experience in working on
batching and mixing concrete using portable mixers and they shall be trained so that every
requirement in these Specifications shall be met.

3.4.8. Plastic Sheet under Ground Floor Concrete Slab

Concrete is a mixture of Portland cement, water and aggregates. The ratio of water-to cement
is a critical factor in the overall porosity of the slab. While the water/cement ratio of the
concrete mix has a direct impact on the final permeability of a finished slab, the curing of the
concrete has an important degree of influence upon the ability of a slab to transmit moisture
vapour.

To keep the water/cement ration in the constant condition during the curing period
Contractor have to put the plastic sheet under the concrete slap to prevents water leaking.

Plastic sheet of 0.05 mm tick shall be strong enough and of ordinary type conforming to the
requirements of ACI 302.IR-96 or ASTM E 1745-97 or ASTM E 1643-98, or equivalent
standards.

Section VI-WR-3-35
(1) Placing of Concrete

1) Weather Limitations
Placing of concrete during rainfall shall be avoided unless arrangement is made specifically
for such adverse weather conditions as approved by the Engineer. If rainfall starts, or
considered imminent, concreting operation work shall be halted and a construction joint shall
be provided. Curing of placed and finished concrete shall be carried out according to the
requirement of these Specifications.

In case of suspending the concrete work when rain start, the surface of fresh concrete shall
be sufficiently covered by covering sheet and protected by appropriate measures as approved
by the Engineer. This shall be done in order to avoid loss of the cement or honeycombing of
the concrete surface due to such rainfall water, and any other damages caused by the rainfall
and any running water on the surface.

The Engineer may instruct the Contractor to demolish and remove placed concrete when the
Engineer is unhappy with the quality of concrete due to any reasons including the care to the
works during adverse weather. The Contractor shall remove such defective concrete and
replace it with new construction at his own expenses.

2) Placing of Concrete
Before placing concrete in formwork, all sawdust, nails, tying wire, loose stones and all
other debris shall be completely removed. Surface of the formwork shall be coated with
approved release agent or thoroughly wetted but without leaving excess water in the forms.

Concrete shall be placed as close as possible to final position in order to avoid segregation of
the concrete and displacement of the reinforcement, formwork or embedded items. Concrete
placing in horizontal layers shall not exceed 30 cm in thickness. The placing of concrete in
layers shall be done in a way that the concrete already placed shall not be set and can be
vibrated when the next layer of concrete is placed. The placing shall be done continuously in
between specified or approved construction joints.

Concrete placing shall be done using chutes, bottom opening skips, pumping or dropping by
a height of not greater than 1.5 m. Concrete with dropping height of more than 1.5 (one and
half) meters shall be conveyed through a metal or other approved pipes. During placement,
the pipes shall be kept full of concrete, and lower end buried in the newly placed concrete. In
case chutes are used on steep slope, the chutes shall have baffle boards to prevent
segregation of the concrete.

Placement of concrete by pumping shall be permitted by the approval of the Engineer. The
equipment shall be arranged in a way not to give vibrations or shock force to the concrete
already placed. The operation of the concrete pump shall maintain a continuous stream of
concrete without producing air pockets. Concrete shall not be placed in or in contact with
standing or running water. Any water accumulations shall be removed during concreting.

Section VI-WR-3-36
 Concrete placing against existing concrete that have been in position for more than 30
minutes shall be avoided unless a construction joint is formed.

In case concreting operations is halted for any reason, construction joints with keys and
dowel bars to resist shearing force, shall be made either horizontally or vertically as directed
by the Engineer. Before resuming concrete works, surface of already placed concrete shall be
cut-off or chipped-off to remove all laitance, as well as to expose coarse aggregates surfaces.
Surface of the concrete shall be thoroughly saturated with water.

Where there are narrow spacing of reinforcement bars or there are many embedded items or
thin segment of the concrete is designed, there may be difficulty for the concrete to fill voids
completely. In such cases, the Contractor shall provide super plasticizer to the concrete mix
at his own expense to increase the liquidity of the concrete. Type and dosage of the super
plasticizer shall be approved by the Engineer beforehand. The Contractor shall submit to the
Engineer details of the super plasticizer including specifications, dosage, application
methods, etc. in advance.

Unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall use at his own expense the
air-entraining admixtures (AE admixture) as approved by the Engineer according to these
Specifications, for concrete canal lining to improve the workability and water tightness.

3) Curing of Concrete
All newly placed concrete shall be cured. Curing shall start immediately after placing and
continue for at least 7 days. It shall be done in such a way that the moisture is always kept at
the exposed surface of the concrete. Curing may be done by wetting the exposed surfaces
with water or by use of curing compound.

The Contractor shall appreciate that the curing is an integral and important part of the
concrete operation to achieve sound and strong concrete structures. Improper curing shall be
considered as serious neglect of the Contractor resulting in defective concrete. The Engineer
may stop all of the Contractor's operations in concrete placing until proper curing procedures
are applied in conformity with these Specifications.

Timber formwork covering the concrete shall be moistened with water at frequent intervals
to keep it from drying during the curing period. Metal formwork exposed to the sun shall be
shaded from direct rays and painted white or otherwise during the curing period. In case
forms have to be removed before the end of the 7-day curing period, the Contractor shall
propose to the Engineer alternative methods such as coating of exposed concrete surface
with curing compound. Otherwise, curing shall continue until the end of the 7-day period as
specified.

Before concreting works commence, the Contractor shall obtain the Engineer's approval for
the curing method including the application of curing compounds. The Contractor shall have
sufficient curing materials on site, if he proposes to use such material.

Section VI-WR-3-37
4) Surface Finishes
Any concrete surfaces shall be finished as indicated on the Drawings or as specified herein
or otherwise directed by the Engineer.

5) Formed Surfaces
All finished concrete surfaces shall be sound, solid and free from honeycombing, lumps,
irregularities and uneven texture or colors. All lumps shall be levelled or rounded if having
sharp corners.

Any remedial treatment necessary to finish concrete surfaces shall be approved by the
Engineer beforehand. The approval shall be issued following his inspection immediately
after removing the formworks and proceed without delay. Any treated concrete surface shall
be rejected if the Engineer had no chance of inspecting it.

Members or parts of the work shall be cut-out and replaced, if the Engineer determines the
defects he found was beyond normal treatment of the surface.

6) Unformed Surfaces
Surface of the concrete placed shall be finished with screeds, wooden trowels or metal
trowels as indicated in the Drawings.

Skelton type forms shall be used as guides for exposed concrete surface finish. The guide
formworks may be made of wooden planks, 18 mm thick plywood or 5 mm thick steel plates
but in any case the material shall be strong enough not to be bent easily by concrete workers
or bent or warped by humidity or water, all subject to the approval of the Engineer. The
guide forms may be removed when the finishing work to the surface of the exposed concrete
is complete, or left in the place as long as there is no mark left on the concrete surface.

Surfaces of canal lining shall require special handling, namely, the concrete placed shall be
levelled by means of screeds and finally finished by trowels. Workers shall work on wood
planks in order to produce uniform surface free from screed marks.

7) Repair to Concrete Surfaces

Repairing of concrete surfaces shall be performed only by skilled workers. The Contractor
shall inform the Engineer as to when repairing of concrete will be performed. Unless
inspection is waived by the Engineer in each specific case, repairing of concrete shall be
performed only in the presence of the Engineer. Concrete surfaces will be tested by the
Engineer where necessary to determine whether surface irregularities are within the limits as
hereinafter specified.

Surface irregularities are classified as abrupt or gradual. Offsets caused by displaced or

misplaced form, sheathing or lining of form sections, or by loose knots or otherwise
defective forms shall be considered as abrupt irregularities and shall be tested by direct
measurements. All other irregularities will be considered as gradual irregularities, and shall

Section VI-WR-3-38
 be tested by use of a template consisting of a straight edge or the equivalent thereof for
curved surfaces. The length of the template will be 1.5 m for testing of formed surfaces, and
3 m for testing of unformed surfaces.

Bag rubbing or sandblasting will not be required on formed surfaces. Nor will grinding be
required of formed surfaces, other than that is necessary for repairing of surface
imperfections.

Correction of surface irregularities will be required only for depression of more than 25 mm
in depth.

For formed surfaces exposed to close views or in contact with water flows, surface
irregularities shall not exceed 6 mm for abrupt irregularities and 15 mm for gradual
irregularities.

8) Repair of Defective Concrete

Defective concrete and concrete damages from any cause, found as the result of examining
the surface or otherwise, shall be removed and replaced with acceptable concrete by the
Contractor at no cost to the Employer. Irregularities of alignment due to inaccurate finishing
of surfaces, bulging of forms, or other defects shall be rectified by and at the expense of the
Contractor.

Before final acceptance of the work, the Contractors shall clean all exposed concrete
surfaces of all stains of cement, mortar or grout, and shall remove all unsighted stains to the
satisfaction of the Engineer.

Repair of concrete shall be performed by skilled workers. The Contractor shall inform the
Engineer as to when repair of concrete is to be performed.

The detailed method for repair of damaged or defective concrete surfaces shall be approved
by the Engineer.

Concrete that is damaged from any cause and concrete that is honeycombed, fractured or
otherwise defective, and concrete with excessive surface depressions, shall be removed and
replaced with dry-pack, mortar, or concrete, as hereinafter specified.

The cost of all materials, labor and equipment required in the repair of concrete shall be
borne entirely by the Contractor.

9) Tolerances of Concrete Structure

Deviations of completed structures from plumb lines or level and from the alignment,
profiles, grades and dimensions shown on the Drawings are inevitable to certain extent in
construction practices. The intent of this paragraph is to establish in general terms the degree
of deviations that are not harmful to the intended purposes of the structures thus acceptable.
The acceptable deviations are termed as tolerances and they mean overall offset plus
surface irregularities. Unless tolerances are indicated specifically in the Drawings, the

Section VI-WR-3-39
tolerances as specified herein shall govern all of the permanent works under the Contract.
The Engineer may reduce the tolerances in case he considers particular structures or part of
that requires more precise and accurate construction than those specified herein for achieving
intended strength or functions of the permanent structures.

The Contractor shall be held responsible for setting and maintaining concrete forms correctly
and strongly enough to hold the fresh concrete within the tolerance limits and shall ensure
that work is completed within the tolerances specified herein. Concrete work that exceeds
these tolerance limits shall be remedied or removed and replaced at the expenses of the
Contractor.

 10) Tests on Concrete Works
Tests on concrete materials, test cylinders (or cubes) and extracted core samples shall be
carried out in the Contractor's laboratory unless otherwise stated in the Specifications or
instructed by the Engineer. Unless otherwise specified, materials and completed concrete
works shall be tested in accordance with the standards and at the frequencies as specified
below. However, the Engineer may instruct the Contractor to carry out more frequent tests
when the Engineer notices consistency in test results is not achieved.

responsibility. The Contractor shall submit proposed design and installation methods at least
two weeks before installation of the formworks to the Engineer for his approval. The
proposal shall include working drawings and calculations indicating the strength of the
formworks together with supports or scaffoldings, details of the materials and readymade
assemblers to be used in the installation of the formworks.

Formwork may be made of timber, plywood, plastic coated plywood or steel plate. The
proposed design and installation methods shall demonstrate that the formworks with strutting
and bracing shall be strong enough to contain and hold fresh concrete and rigid enough to
work against pressures and weight of the concrete including pressures caused by vibrating
machines and weight of workers and equipment engaged in concreting, with expected
deformation and deflection within the tolerances as specified in these Specifications. The
work drawings shall show the proposed details of installation such as sizes of members,
spacing of bents, posts, studs, wailings, stringers, collars, bolts, wedges, bracing, rate of pour,
as well as the manufacturers recommendations for safe working capacity of all form ties and
column clamps. Any assumptions, dimensions, material properties and other data used in
making the structural analysis shall be stated on the shop drawings.

The formwork shall be installed accurately to represent the shape of the concrete as shown
on the detailed Drawings. It shall be of suitable design for easy installation and it shall be
approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall give necessary adjustments to allow for
shrinkage, settlement or deflection that may occur during construction so that the finished
concrete sections conform accurately to the specified dimensions true to lines, levels and
cambers.

The Contractor shall employ screw jacks and hardwood wedges to take up any settlement in
the formwork either before or during the placing of concrete. Formwork shall provide for its
own deformation under load, and shall be cambered to allow for construction deflection
where this is necessary to maintain the required accuracy as approved by the Engineer.

Formwork shall include all temporary or permanent moulds, shutters and any kind of
box-out for forming the concrete, together with all necessary supports. It must be so
designed and constructed that the concrete can be properly placed and compacted by
vibration or otherwise without loss of material, and so that the concrete shall set and harden
without damage and shall conform accurately to the required finished shape, dimension,
position and level.

Internal formwork supports and ties shall be to the approval of the Engineer as to material,
location and design. The whole or part of such supports and ties shall be removed without

Section VI-WR-3-71
 damage to the concrete so as to leave no part embedded nearer the surface of the concrete
than the designed cover of reinforcement (generally 5 cm).

Before concreting commences all box-out shuttering must be firmly fixed in position.
Box-out shuttering shall be so constructed that it can be removed without damage to the
surrounding concrete.

Formwork shall be cleaned after use, and shall be clean before concrete is placed. Coating
material or liquid for preservation or to facilitate stripping shall be to the approval of the
Engineer. It shall be applied carefully and sparingly and shall neither come in contact with
concrete surfaces or with items, including reinforcement, which are to become bonded to the
concrete, nor shall it stain any exposed surfaces.

3.6.2. Preparation of Formwork for Concreting

Immediately before concreting, the forms and all other surfaces which will be in contact with
the fresh concrete shall be cleaned of all loose material and debris including shavings, wood
chips, sawdust, pieces of wire, nails, fragments of hardened concrete and mortar. Adequate
clean out holes shall be provided for this purpose and subsequently securely closed so as to
restore the required formwork quality.

3.6.3. Removal of Formwork

The removal of formwork shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. All forms shall be
removed without causing damages to the concrete. Before slab forms or scaffolding are
removed, the concrete shall be exposed by removal of the side forms, or otherwise as
required by the Engineer, to ensure that it has hardened, and slab forms shall in no case be
removed until the concrete has reached a strength of at least twice the stress to which the
concrete may be subjected at the time of removal.

attained compressive strength indicated in the Drawings or directed by the Engineer.

(2) After all concrete has attained the required strength, the prestressing reinforcement shall be
stressed by means of jacks to the desired tension and the stress transferred to the end
anchorage.

(3) Cast in place concrete shall not be post-tensioned until at least 10 days after the last concrete
has been placed in the member to be post-tensioned and until the compressive strength of
said placed concrete has reached the strength specified for the concrete at the time of
stressing.

(4) All side and inside forms for girders shall be removed before post-tensioning. The
falsework under the bottom slab supporting the superstructure shall not be released until a
minimum of 48 hours have elapsed after grouting of the post-tension tendons nor until all
other conditions of the specifications have been met. The supporting falsework shall be
constructed in such a manner that the superstructure will be free to lift off the falsework and
shorten during post-tensioning.

(5) The tensioning process shall be so conducted that the tension being applied and the
elongation of the prestressing elements may be measured at all times.

(6) A record shall be kept of gauge pressures and elongation at all times and submitted to the
Engineer for his approval.

(7) The load from the anchoring device shall be distributed to the concrete by means of approved
devices that will effectively distribute the load to the concrete.

(8) Where the end of a post-tensioned assembly will not be covered by concrete, the anchoring
devices shall be recessed so that the ends of the prestressing steel and all parts of the
anchoring devices will be at least 50 mm inside of the end surface of the members, unless a
greater embedment is shown on the plans. Following post-tensioning, the recesses shall be
filled with concrete, and finished as shown in the Drawings.

the concrete shall be free of dirt, loose rust, grease or other deleterious substances.

(2) Prestressing steel shall be bonded to the concrete by filling the void space between the duct
and the tendon with grout. All ducts shall be clean and free of deleterious materials that
would impair bonding of the grout or interfere with grouting procedures.

(3) All grout shall pass through a screen with 1.20 mm maximum clear openings prior to being
introduced into the grout pump.

(4) Grout injection pipes shall be fitted with positive mechanical shutoff valves. Vents and
ejection pipes shall be fitted with valves, caps, or other devices capable of withstanding the
pumping pressure. Valves and caps shall not be removed or opened until the grout has set.

3.10.8. Handling, Transport and Storage

(1) Precast prestressed concrete shall not be moved from the casting position until the concrete
has attained a compressive strength of 85% of the specified 28-day strength, nor transported
until it has developed strength of 90% of the specified 28-day strength.

(2) Extreme care shall be exercised in handling and moving precast prestressed concrete
members. Precast girders and slabs shall be transported in an upright position, shock shall
be avoided and the points of support and directions of the reactions with respect to the
member shall be approximately the same during transporting and storage as the member is in
its final position. If the Contractor deems it expedient to transport or store precast
prestressed units in other than this position, it shall be done at his own risk after notifying the
Engineer of his intention to do so. Any unit considered by the Engineer to have become
substandard shall be rejected and replaced at the Contractor's expense by an acceptable unit.

Contractor shall obtain the prior approval of the Engineer to the detailed arrangements for the
testing. A beam which is to undergo testing shall be supported at its design points of
bearing and the upward deflection due to the prestressing force measured relative to a line
joining these points. Equal loads shall then be applied at the third points in ten equal
increments, the total being sustained for 5 minutes. The beam shall then be unloaded.

(2) The midspan deflection relative to the reference line shall be measured for each increment of
load. The load deflection curve plotted from these values must show no appreciable

Section VI-WR-3-99
 variation from a straight line. The Drawings shall show, or the Engineer shall direct, the
loads to be applied and the corresponding deflections which must not be exceeded.

(3) Any beam which fails to satisfy the Engineer under the prescribed test shall be rejected and
all other beams cast in the same line as the rejected beam shall also be rejected unless tested
at the Contractor's expense and found satisfactory.

(4) The Contractor shall supply to the Engineer record sheets of the tests showing date of test,
the loads, deflections, and load deflection curves, calculated values of "E" and the strength of
the concrete at release as indicated by the relevant cube or cylinder test results.

3.15.4. Construction Requirement

3.15.4.1. Preparation of Base Formation.

(1) Where aggregate is required to be laid on a prepared formation in either as base course or
other construction, such formation shall be completed and accepted for at least 100 m or so
many square-meters ahead of the placing of the base material. However, any earlier approval
of prepared formation and any damaged to or deterioration in the formation shall be made
good at the Contractor's expense before aggregate base is placed.

(2) Where aggregate base is require to be laid directly on the existing pavement, the surface of
the pavement shall first be slightly scarified or roughened sufficiently to be made permeable
and re-compacted.

(3) Re-compaction shall be performed after the addition of aggregate base, provided that the total
depth of scarified and added material does not exceed the permissible depth of loose layers.

(4) Any lumps larger than 5 cm resulting from scarifying shall be picked out or broken before
the addition of aggregate base. Mixing of the existing scarified pavement with the new
aggregate base should be avoided.

(5) No separate payment shall be made for scarifying or roughening and compaction, as this
work shall be considered incidentals for the aggregate base preparation.

3.15.5. Spreading

Aggregate base shall be evenly spread over the full width of the road bed in layers with
un-compacted thickness not exceeding 25 cm and be subject to the Engineer's approval. The
layers, if more than one (1), shall be as nearly equal in thickness as possible. The material

Section VI-WR-3-121
 maybe spread and shaped by any approved method that shall not cause segregation of the
fine and coarse aggregates. Any portion of segregated coarse or fine material shall be
corrected or removed and replaced with graded material. Material shall contain the correct
moisture content to achieve the specified degree of compaction by sprinkling with the right
quantity of water. Mixing shall be by motor grader until moisture content of material is
almost uniform throughout.

3.15.6. Rolling and Compaction

(1) Immediately after the final mixing and shaping is completed, each layer of 20-cm minimum
thickness shall be compacted with suitable and approved equipment. Rolling shall start along
the sides and then progress towards the road centerline in a controlled speed of 5 km/hr.

(2) The rolling direction shall overlap each other in a longitudinal manner. On super-elevated
sections, rolling shall start at the low grade and progress towards the high side. Rolling
operation shall continue until the surface is uniformly compacted, hard, dense and roller
marks are no longer visible.

(3) If aggregate base is too wet or too dry to be compacted to the required density, it shall be
dried out or sprinkled with water, prior to or during compaction.

(4) No additional payments shall be made for adding water or drying of the material.

(5) Any surface irregularities that may develop after the construction shall be corrected by
removing the irregular portion and replaced with good material as required. Each layer of
aggregate base shall be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum modified dry density as
determined by Method D of AA5HTO Test T180.

3.15.7. Surface and Thickness Tolerances

(1) The completed surface or finished profile shall vary not more than 1 cm above or below the
design elevation at any point.

(2) Loosening, adding or removal of material, reshaping and re-compaction shall correct any
deviation in excess of 1-cm tolerance. Such expenses shall be the Contractor's responsibility.

(3) Where aggregate base is laid in place with variable thickness on the existing pavement, such
thickness shall be within the allowable limits shown on the drawings. Likewise, proper
corrections and/or adjustments shall be done to the profile grade upon written approval of the
Engineer, in order to meet the allowable tolerance as stated in this specification.

3.15.8. Inspection and Testing

ASTM D 1557 or AASHTO T 180 shall determine the density of compacted material. The
test shall be executed to the full depth of the layers at location or points determined by the
Engineer, which shall not be more than 200 m apart. Test holes shall be backfilled with the
same loaterial and compacted by the Contractor without delay.
