 Reinforcement will be stored in a warehouse area at site with adequate protection from
getting rusty, or protected from any element that would affect its quality condition as
specified.

 Storing will be organized by category, type, grade and diameter. As a rule, the end of each
bar had been painted to differentiate the different grades.

 Reinforcing steel that are rejected have to be stored in a separate place away from where
it was accepted, before sending back to the supplier.

• Rebar fabrication process:

 Rebar fabrication and storage.

- Workers will fabricate the bar according to the information mentioned on the label, and
fabricated bars will be stored systematically according to their structural usage per work
unit mentioned on their label (Work Unit, structure, drawing, category, type, diameter,
grade…).

- All precautions will be taken to avoid damage and bending the steel bars during storage,
loading and transportation to the site. The bars should be protected from the rust by
storage on wooden platform, crates or elevated trestles.

 Installation at site.

- The reinforcement installation will be in accordance with the drawings, the General
Technical Specifications, and the Owner requirements (cover, spacer blocks, reinforcement
continuity and tolerances).

- Before any pouring, all the reinforcement shall be inspected and accepted by the
Engineer or the owner’s representative.

The foreman on site will correct any deviation out of tolerances immediately upon notice
before filling the inspection request.

5.2.2 Formwork

• Blinding concrete shall be installed prior to placing formwork.

• Form made of plywood or steel shall be cleaned on all its surfaces in contact with concrete
shall be treated or painted with oil prior to the installation. Installation shall be made precisely on
the lines and grades using string, spirit level, survey instrument etc.

• Forms shall be kept firmly in position by putting tie rods or external support. Tie rods support
shall be so arranged and distributed and strong enough to withstand the pressure during casting
concrete.

• Foundations shall be constructed first and then columns to the tripod beam bottom level. In the
Workshop building, sub-columns and sub-beams system on wall, beam surface form will be done
after the installation of steel framework.

• Establish accurate centerline axis and level for the layout of foundations, columns, beams, and
floors, before installing forms.

• Form should be adequately supported or braced to avoid movements or displacement during

casting concrete. Bolt connector or any acceptable pre fabricated support system is essential.

• Check the alignment of formwork by stretching a cord along edges of installed forms

• For additional supports, Iron and tension cable can be used as supports in the installation of
forms of column footings. Check the establish centerline for accuracy to avoid deviations.

• Staging and scaffolding support system is to be utilized for beams and slab forms, and they are
installed at the same time. During installation regular checking of lines and grades shall be made
to ensure the evenness and straightness of slabs and beams during construction .

• Position Steel and wood joint supports and bracings is utilized for forms of concrete structures.
Jacks are installed at top and base of supports for adjusting height or length, all bases of support
should be propped by a piece of wooden material to prevent settlement.

• All supporting columns and bracings should be anchored, hold and connect together to
become stable frame system to secure structures during concreting.

5.2.3 Concrete Casting

• All the formworks must be cleaned before concrete casting, because the performance of
concrete may be affected by any impurity.

• In order to prevent the concrete from segregation, concrete was not allowed to drop freely.
Hence, concrete pump was used to pump up the concrete to casting level.

• Through the whole casting progress, concrete should be compacted by vibrators. Compaction
should start as soon as there is sufficient concrete during the placing operation as that at no time
shall there be a large volume of un-compacted concrete. For compaction of the concrete in the
works, vibration of each concrete batch must be systematic and should thoroughly cover and
deeply penetrate the batch. Particular attention must be paid to ensure full vibration of the
perimeters of adjoining and underlying batches.

• Concrete in the works shall be cured by the application of an approved liquid membrane. After
the application of the curing membrane, the concrete is to be properly covered with approved
polythene sheeting around the concrete members with the polythene sheeting in close contact

with the concrete surfaces. The polythene sheeting should be adequately secured to the concrete
members and fastened at the edges to prevent draughts.

• The formwork could not be removed only until the concrete has attained sufficient strength.

5.2.4 Concrete Curing:

• All concrete shall be cured by either spraying water directly or spraying water on a mat placed
on the concrete surface 24 hours after casting

• Water curing by sprinkling process, shall be repeated whenever the water dries up and
maintain the concrete wet for a period of 7 days.

5.2.5 Removal of Formwork:

Formworks would have to be consulted by the resident engineers on site before any removal of
formwork is performed, following specifications standards.

5.2.6 Concrete Finishing.

Concrete Finishing: Upon removing formworks, concrete surface shall be finished, repaired of any
defects to ensure evenness and uniformity in color. All concrete surfaces shall be free from any
irregularities. A waterproofing coat may also be applied to a selected location as specified.
