mentioned in this section of the specification do not cover all the aspects to the full
satisfaction of the engineer .
19.04.03 Washing & Screening of aggregates
Washing and screening of coarse and fine aggregates to remove fines, dirt or other
deleterious material shall be carried out by approved means as desired by the engineer
19.04.04 Admixtures
All concrete shall be designed for normal rate of setting and hardening at normal
temperature and humidity. Different climatic conditions will affect the rate of setting
and hardening. Which will in turn, affect the workability and quality of the concrete.
Admixtures may be permitted to be used in accordance with IS: 456 to modify the rate
of hardening, to improve workability or as an aid to control quality. The engineer
reserves the right to order laboratory test or use test data, or other satisfactory reference
before granting approval. The admixture shall be used strictly in accordance with the
manufacturer’s directions and / or as desired by the engineer.
19.04.05 Grades of Concrete

Concrete shall be in any of the grades designated in the IS: 456. Grade of concrete to be
used in different parts of work shall be shown on the drawing or as per the engineer’s
instructions. In case of liquid retaining structures, IS: 3370 will be followed.
20.00 Proportioning and works Control
20.01.01 General
Proportioning of ingredients of concrete shall be made by any of the two following

methods as directed by the engineer:-
a. With preliminary tests by designing the concrete mix. Such concrete shall be called
“Design Mix Concrete”.
b. Without preliminary test adopting nominal concrete mix. Such concrete shall be
called “Nominal Mix Concrete”.
As far as possible, design mix concrete shall be used on all concrete work. Ordinary
concrete, in grades permitted in accordance with IS: 456 may be used if shown on
drawings and approved by the engineer. In all cases, the proportioning of ingredients
and works control shall be in accordance with IS: 456 and shall be adopted for use after
the engineer is satisfied regarding its adequacy and after obtaining his approval in
writing.
20.01.02 Mix Design of Concrete
TENDERER
70
Concrete mixes will be designed by the contractor to achieve the strength, durability and
workability necessary for the job, by the most economical use of the various ingredients.
In general, the design will keep in view the following considerations.
a. With preliminary tests by designing the concrete mix. Such concrete shall be called
“Design Mix Concrete”.
b. Without preliminary tests adopting nominal concrete mix. Such concrete shall be
called “Nominal Mix Concrete”.
20.02 Strength Requirements
TABLE -I
STRENGTH REQUIREMENT OF CONCRETE
The strength requirements of both design mix and nominal mix concrete where ordinary
Portland Cement or Portland Blast furnace slag cement is used, shall be as per Table-2 of
IS:456. All other relevant clauses of IS: 456 shall also apply.

a. The Contractor shall design the mixes for 10% (Ten per cent) higher strength
over and above those specified in Table-I under Clause 27.00, for the various
grades of concrete and different slump requirements.
b. Sufficient number of trial mixes (to be decided by the Engineer) will be taken at
the laboratory for the various designs and graphs of w/c ratio V/s crushing
strengths at various ages will be plotted.
c. All tests will be done in presence of the Engineer who shall be the final authority
to decide upon the adoption of any revised minimum cement content. The
Contractor will always be responsible to produce quality concrete of the
required grade as per the acceptance criteria of IS: 456.
d. The Engineer will always have the unquestionable right to revise the minimum
cement content as decided above, if, in his opinion, there is any chance of
deterioration of quality on account of use of lower cement content or any other
reason.
20.04 Water –Cement Ratio
The choice of water-cement ratio in designing a concrete mix will depend on
a. The requirement of strength.
b. The requirement of durability.
20.04.01 Strength Requirement

In case of ‘Design Mix Concrete”, the water-cement ratio of such value as to give
acceptable test results as per IS: 456 will be selected by trial and error. The values of
water-cement ratios for different grade and mix design will have to be established after
conducting sufficiently large number of preliminary tests in the laboratory to the
satisfaction of the Engineer. Frequent checks on test will have to be carried out and the
water-cement ratios will be revised if the tests produce unsatisfactory results.
Notwithstanding anything stated above, the Contractor's responsibility to produce
satisfactory test results and to bear all the consequences in case of default remains
unaltered.
In case of ordinary concrete, the maximum water-cement ratio for different grades of
concrete is specified in Table-5 of IS: 456 and no tests are necessary. The acceptance test
criteria for nominal mix concrete shall be as per IS: 456.
20.04.02 Durability Requirement
Tables 4 & 5 of IS:456 give the maximum water-cement ratio permissible from the point
of view of durability of concrete subjected to adverse exposure to weather, sulphate
attacks, and contact with harmful chemicals. Impermeability may also be an important
consideration.
TENDERER
72
Whenever the water-cement ratio dictated by Durability consideration is lower than that
required from strength criterion, the former shall be adopted.
However, water cement ratio, from the point of view of durability as well as from
strength consideration should meet the requirement given in Table III

____________________________________________________________________
(Note: Notwithstanding anything mentioned above, the slump to be obtained for work
in progress shall be as per direction of the Engineer)
With the permission of the Engineer, for any grade of concrete, if the water has to be
increased in special cases, cement shall also be increased proportionately to keep the
ratio of water to cement same as adopted in trial mix design for each grade of concrete.
No extra payment will be made for this additional cement.
The workability of concrete shall be checked at frequent intervals by slump tests.

Alternatively where facilities exist or if required by the Engineer, the compacting factor
test in accordance with IS: 1999 and Clause 7 of IS: 456 shall be carried out.
20.05 Mixing of Concrete
Concrete shall always be mixed in mechanical mixer unless specifically approved by the
Engineer for concrete to be used in unimportant out of the way locations in small
quantities. Water shall not normally be charged into the drum of the mixer until all the
cement and aggregates constituting the batch are already in the drum and mixed for at
least one minute. Mixing of each batch shall be continued until there is a uniform
distribution of the materials and the mass is uniform in colour and consistency, but in no
TENDERER
73
case shall mixing be done for less than 2 (Two) minutes and at least 40 (Forty)
revolutions after all the materials and water are in the drum. When absorbent aggregates
are used or when the mix is very dry, the mixing time shall be extended as may be
directed by the Engineer. Mixers shall not be loaded above their rated capacity as this
prevents thorough mixing.
The entire contents of the drum shall be discharged before the ingredients for the next
batch are fed into the drum. No partly set or remixed or excessively wet concrete shall
be used. Such concrete shall be immediately removed from site. Each time the work
stops, the mixer shall be thoroughly cleaned & when the next mixing commences, the
first batch shall have 10% additional cement at no extra cost to the Owner to allow for
loss in the drum.
Regular checks on mixer efficiency shall be carried out as directed by the Engineer as per
IS: 4634 on all mixers employed at site. Only those mixers whose efficiencies are within
the tolerances specified in IS: 1791 will be allowed to be employed.
Batching Plant, where used, shall conform to IS: 4925. When hand mixing is permitted
by the Engineer, it shall be carried out on a water-tight platform and care shall be taken
to ensure that mixing is continued until the mass is uniform in colour and consistency.
In case of hand-mixing, 10% extra cement shall be added to each batch at no extra cost
to the Owner.
20.06.01 Conveying Concrete
Concrete shall be handled and conveyed from the place of mixing to the place of laying
as rapidly as practicable by approved means and placed and compacted in the final
position before the initial setting of the cement starts. Concrete should be conveyed in
such a way as will prevent segregation or loss of any of the ingredients. For long distance
haulage, agitator cars of approved design will be used. If, in spite of all precautions,
segregation does occur during transport, the concrete shall be properly remixed before
placement. During very hot or cold weather, if directed by the Engineer, concrete shall
be transported in deep container which will reduce the rate of loss of water by
evaporation or loss of heat. If necessary, the container may have to be covered and
insulated. Conveying equipments for concrete shall be well maintained and thoroughly
cleaned before commencement of concrete mixing. Such equipments shall be kept free
from set concrete.
20.07 Placing and Compacting Concrete
Where specifically covered, the relevant I.S. Code will be followed for the procedure of
surface preparation, placement, consolidation, curing, finishes, repairs and maintenance
of concrete. If, however, there is no specific provision in the relevant IS Code for any
particular aspect of work, any other standard Code of practice, as may be specified by the
Engineer, will be adopted. Concrete may have to be placed against the following types of
surfaces:-
a. Formwork
TENDERER
74
b. Construction joint in concrete or masonry
The surface on or against which concrete is to be placed has to be cleaned thoroughly.

Old construction joint has to be roughened by wire brushing, chipping, sand blasting or
any other approved means for proper bond. All cuttings, dirt, oil, foreign and deleterious
material, laitance, etc. are to be removed by air jetting or water at high pressure.
Formwork, reinforcement, preparation of surface, embedments, joint seals etc. shall be

approved in writing by the Engineer before concrete is placed. As far as possible,
concrete shall be placed in the formwork by means approved by the Engineer and shall
not be dropped from a height or handled in a manner which may cause segregation. Any
drop over 1500 mm shall have to be approved by the Engineer.
Construction joint will be kept moist for at least 72 hours prior to placement. Concrete
will be placed always against moist surface but never on pools of water. In case the
foundation cannot be dewatered completely, special procedure and precaution, as
directed by the Engineer will have to be adopted.
Formwork will be cleaned thoroughly and smeared lightly with form oil or grease of
approved quality just prior to placement.
A layer of mortar of thickness 12 mm of the same or less w/c ratio and the same
proportion as that of the concrete being placed and cement slurry will be spread
thoroughly on the construction joint just prior to placement of concrete. The cost of
application of such cement slurry and mortar will be deemed to be included in the unit
rate of concrete.
After concrete has been placed it shall be spread, if necessary, and thoroughly compacted
by approved mechanical vibration to maximum subsidence without segregation and
thoroughly worked around shape. Vibrators shall not be used for pushing concrete into
adjoining areas. Vibrators must be operated by experienced workmen and the work
carried out as per relevant IS Code of Practice. In thin members with heavy congestion
of reinforcement or other embedments, where effective use of internal vibrator is, in the
opinion of the Engineer, doubtful, in addition to immersion vibrators the contractor may
have to employ form vibrators conforming to IS: 4656. For slabs and other similar
structures, the contractor will additionally employ screed vibrator as per IS: 2506. Hand
tamping may be allowed in rare cases, subject to the approval of the Engineer. Care must
be taken to ensure that the inserts, fixtures, reinforcement and formwork are not
displaced or distorted during placing and consolidation of concrete.
The rate of placement of concrete shall be such that no cold joint is formed and fresh
concrete is placed always against green concrete which is still plastic and workable. No
concrete shall be placed in open, during rains. During rainy season, no placement in the
open is to be attempted unless sufficient tarpaulins or other similar protective
arrangement for completely covering the still green concrete from rain is kept at the site
of placement. If there has been any sign of washing of cement and sand, the entire
affected concrete shall be removed immediately. Suitable precautions shall be taken in
advance to guard against rains before leaving the fresh concrete unattended. No
accumulation of water shall be permitted on or around freshly laid concrete.
TENDERER
75
Slabs, beams and similar members shall be poured in one operation, unless otherwise
instructed by the Engineer. Moulding, throating, drip course, etc., shall be poured as
shown on the drawings or as directed by the Engineer. Holes shall be provided and bolts,
sleeves, anchors, fastenings or other fixtures shall be embedded in concrete as shown on
the drawings or as directed by the Engineer. Any deviation there from shall be set right
by the Contractor at his own expense as instructed by the Engineer.
In case the forms or supports get displaced during or immediately after the placement
and bring the concrete surface out of alignment beyond tolerance limits, the Engineer
may direct to remove the portion and reconstruct or repair the same at the Contractor’s
expense.
The Engineer shall decide upon the time interval between two placements of concrete of
different ages coming in contact with each other, taking in consideration the degree of
maturity of the older concrete, shrinkage, heat dissipation and the ability of the older
concrete to withstand the load imposed upon it by the fresh placement.
Once the concrete is deposited, consolidated and finished in its final position, it shall not
be distributed.
20.08 Construction Joints and Cold Joints
20.08.01 Construction Joints
It is always desirable to complete any concrete structure by continuous pouring in one

operation. However, due to practical limitation of methods and equipment and certain
design considerations, construction joints are formed by discontinuing concrete at
certain predetermined stages. These joints will be formed in a manner specified in the
drawings/ instruction. Vertical construction joints will be made with rigid stop-board
forms having slots for allowing passage of reinforcement rods and any other
embedments and fixtures that may be shown. For water retaining structures and leak
proof buildings suitable and approved water stops may be installed at the construction
joints as per Clause 13.4 of IS: 456.
Where the location of the joints are not specified, it will be in accordance with the
following:-
a) In a column, the joint shall be formed 75 mm below the lowest soffit of the beam
framing into it.
b) Concrete in a beam shall preferably be placed without a joint, but if provision of

a joint is unavoidable, the joint shall be vertical and at the middle of the span.
c) A joint in a suspended floor slab shall be vertical and at the middle of the span
and at right angles to the principal reinforcement.
d) Feather-edges in concrete shall be avoided while forming a joint.
TENDERER
76
e) A construction joint should preferably be placed in a low stress zone and at right
angles to the direction of the principal stress.
f) In case the Contractor proposes to have a construction joint anywhere to

facilitate his work, the proposal should be submitted well in advance to the
Engineer for study and approval without which no construction joint will be
allowed.
20.08.02 Cold Joint
An advancing face of a concrete pour, which could not be covered by fresh concrete
before expiry of initial setting time (due to an unscheduled stoppage or delay on account
of breakdown in plant, inclement weather, low rate of placement or any other reason),
is called a cold joint. The Contractor should always remain vigilant to avoid cold joints.
If however, a cold joint is formed due to unavoidable reasons, the following procedure
shall be adopted for treating it:-
a) If the concrete is so green that it can be removed manually and if vibrators can
penetrate the surface without much effort, fresh concrete can be placed directly
against the old surface. The old concrete should be covered by fresh concrete as
quickly as possible and the joint thoroughly and systematically vibrated.
b) In case concrete has hardened a bit more than (a) but can still be easily removed
by a light hand pick, the surface will be raked thoroughly and the loose concrete
removed completely without disturbing the rest of the concrete in depth. A rich
mortar layer 12 mm in thickness will be placed on the cold joint and fresh
concrete shall be placed on the mortar layer and the joint will be thoroughly and
systematically vibrated penetrating the vibrator deep into the old layer of
concrete.
c) In case the concrete at the joint has become so stiff that it cannot be re-moulded
and mortar or slurry does not rise in spite of extensive vibration, the joint will be
left to harden for at least 12 –24 hrs. It will then be treated as a regular
construction joint, after cutting the concrete to required shape and preparing the
surface as described under clause 27.08.
20.09 Repairs, Finishes and Treatment of Concrete surfaces
20.09.01 Adequate and sound concrete surfaces, whether formed or unformed, can be obtained
by employing a concrete mix of proper design, competent formwork, appropriate
methods of handling, placing and consolidation by experienced workmen.
Unsound concrete resulting from improper mix design, incompetent methods,
equipments and Form work, poor workmanship and protection will not be accepted and
will have to be dismantled, removed and replaced by sound concrete at the Contractor’s
cost. The Engineer may, at his sole discretion, allow to retain concrete with minor defects
provided the Contractor is able to repair it by approved methods at no extra cost to the
Owner. All concrete work shall be inspected by the Contractor immediately after the
forms are removed and he will promptly report occurrence of any defects to the
TENDERER
77
Engineer. All repair works will be carried out as per the instructions and in the presence
of the Engineer or his representative. Generally, repair work will consist of any or all of
the following operations.
a) Sack rubbing with mortar and stoning with carborundum stone.

b) Cutting away the defective concrete to the required depth and shape.
c) Cleaning of reinforcement and embedments.
d) Roughening by sand blasting or chipping.
e) Installing additional reinforcement/ welded mesh fabric.
f) Dry packing with stiff mortar.
g) Plastering, guniting, shotcreting etc.
h) Placing and compacting concrete in the void left by cutting out defective
concrete.
i) Grouting with cement sand slurry of 1:1 mix.
20.09.02 Finishing Unformed Surface
The Contractor is to include in his quoted rate for concrete, the provision of normal
finishes in unformed surfaces which can be achieved by screeding, floating, trowelling
etc., as and where required by the Engineer without any extra cost to the Owner. A few
typical and common cases of treatment of concrete surface are cited below.
a) Floor
Whenever a non-integral floor finish is indicated, the surface of reinforcement

concrete slab shall be struck off at the specified levels and slopes and shall be
finished with a wooden float fairly smooth removing all laitance. No over
trowelling, to obtain a very smooth surface, shall be done as it will prevent
adequate bond with the subsequent finish.
Where monolithic finish is specified or required, concrete shall be compacted

and struck off at the specified levels and slopes with a screed, preferably a
vibrating type and then floated with a wooden float. Steel trowelling is then
started after the moisture film and shine have disappeared from the surface and
after the concrete has hardened enough to prevent excess of fines and water to
rise to the surface but not hard enough to prevent proper finishing of
aberrations. Steel trowelling properly done will flatten and smoothen sandy
surface left by wooden floats and produce a dense surface free from blemishes,
ripples and trowel marks. A fine textured surface that is not slick and can be used
where there is likelihood of spillage of oil or water can be obtained by trowelling
the surface lightly with a circular motion after initial trowelling keeping the steel
trowel flat on the surface
To provide a better grip the Engineer may instruct marking the floor in a regular
geometric pattern after initial trowelling.
20.09.03 Finishing Formed Surfaces

The type of finish for formed concrete surfaces shall be as follows, unless otherwise
specified by the Engineer.
TENDERER
78
For surfaces against which backfill or concrete is to be placed, no treatment is required

except repair of defective areas.
For surfaces below grade which will receive water proofing treatment the concrete shall
be free from surface irregularities which would interfere with proper application of the
water proofing material which is specified for use.
Unless specified, surfaces which will be exposed when the structure is in service shall
receive no special finish, except repair of damaged or defective concrete, removal of fins
and abrupt irregularities, filling of holes left by form ties and rods and clean up of loose
or adhering debris.
Surfaces which will be exposed to the weather and which would normally be level shall
be sloped for drainage. Unless the drawing specifies a horizontal surface or shows the
slopes required, the tops of narrow surfaces such as stair treads, walls, kerbs and
parapets shall be sloped across the width approximately 1 in 30. Broader surfaces such
as walkways, roads, parking areas and platforms shall be sloped about 1 in 50. Surfaces
that will be covered by backfill or concrete, sub floors to be covered with concrete
topping, terrazzo or quarry tile and similar surfaces shall be smooth screeded and
leveled to produce even surfaces. Surface irregularities shall not exceed 6 mm. Surfaces
which will not be covered by backfill, concrete or tile toppings such as outside decks,
floors of galleries and sumps, parapets, gutters, side-walks, floors and slabs shall be
consolidated, screeded and floated. Excess water and laitance shall be removed before
final finishing. Floating may be done with hand or power tools and started as soon as the
screeded surface has attained a stiffness to permit finishing operations and these shall
be the minimum required to produce a surface uniform in texture and free from screed
marks or other imperfections. Joints and edges shall be tooled as called for on the
drawings or as directed by Engineer.
20.09.04 Standard Finish for Exposed Concrete
Exposed concrete shall mean any concrete, other than floors or slabs, exposed to view
upon completion of the job.
Unless otherwise specified on the drawings, the standard finish for exposed concrete
shall be a smooth finish.
A smooth finish shall be obtained with the use of lined or plywood forms having smooth
and even surfaces and edges. Panels and forms linings shall be of uniform size and be as
large as practicable and installed with closed joints. Upon removal of forms the joint
marks shall be smoothened off and all blemishes, projections, etc., removed leaving the
surfaces reasonably smooth and unmarred.
20.09.05 Rubbed Finish
A rubbed finish shall be provided only on exposed concrete surfaces as specified on the
drawings. Upon removal of forms, all fins and other projections on the surfaces shall be
carefully removed, offsets leveled and voids and/or damaged sections immediately
TENDERER
79
saturated with water and repaired by filling with concrete or mortar of the same
composition as was used in the surface. The surfaces shall then be thoroughly wetted
and rubbed with carborundum or other abrasive. Cement mortar may be used in the
rubbing, but the finished surfaces shall not be brush coated with either cement or grout
after rubbing. The finished surfaces shall present a uniform and smooth appearance.
20.10 Optional Tests
Engineer, if he so desires, may order tests to be carried out on cement, sand, coarse
aggregates, water in accordance with the relevant Indian Standards. Tests on cement
shall include (i) Fineness test (ii) Test for normal consistency (iii) Test for setting time
(iv) Test for soundness (v) Test for tensile strength (vi) Test for compressive strength
(vii) Test for heat of hydration (by experiment and by calculations) in accordance with
IS : 269. Tests on sand shall include (i) Sieve test (ii) Test for organic impurities (iii)
Decantation test for determining clay and silt content (iv) Specific gravity test (v) Test
for unit weight and bulkage factor (vi) Test for sieve analysis and fineness modulus. Tests
on coarse aggregates shall include (i) Sieve analysis (ii) Specific gravity and unit weight
of dry, loose and rodded aggregate (iii) Soundness and alkali aggregates reactivity (iv)
Petrographic examination (v) Deleterious materials and organic impurities (vi) Test for
aggregate crushing value. Any or all these tests would normally be ordered to be carried
out only if the Engineer feels the materials are not in accordance with the specifications
or if the
specified concrete strengths are not obtained and shall be performed by contractor or at
an approved test laboratory at his cost.
If the work cubes do not give the stipulated strengths, the Engineer reserves the right to
ask the contractor to dismantle such portions of the work which in his opinion are
unacceptable and redo the work to standards stipulated at the contractors cost.
20.11 CONCRETE IN ALKALI SOILS AND ALKALINE WATER
Where concrete is liable to attack from alkali salts or alkaline water, special cements
containing low amount of Tricalcium Aluminate shall be used, if so specified on the
drawings. Such concrete shall have a minimum 28 days compressive strength of 30
N/mm2. If specified, additional protection shall be obtained by the use of a chemically
resistant stone facing or a layer of plaster of paris covered with suitable fabric, such as
jute thoroughly impregnated with tar.
20.12 COLD WEATHER CONCRETING
When conditions are such that the ambient temperature may be expected to be 4.5 Deg.
C or below during the placing and curing period, the work shall conform to the
requirement of Clause 13 of IS: 456 and IS: 7861.
20.13. HOT WEATHER CONCRETING
When depositing concrete in very hot weather, the Contractor shall take all precautions
as per IS: 7861 and stagger the work to the cooler parts of the day to ensure that the
TENDERER
80
temperature of wet concrete used in massive structures does not exceed 38 Deg. C while
placing. Positive temperature control by pre-cooling, post-cooling or any other method,
if required, has to be done without any extra cost.
20.14 VIBRATION
20.14.01 Concrete to be vibrated shall be placed in level layers of suitable thickness not greater
than effective length of the vibrator needle. The concrete at the surface shall be
distributed as horizontally as possible. The vibration shall not be done in the
neighborhood of slopes. The internal vibrator shall not be used to spread the concrete
well in advance of the point of vibration. When the concrete is being continuously
deposited to a uniform depth along a member, vibrator shall not be operated too near to
the free end of the advancing concrete, usually not within 1.20 metres of it. Every effort
shall be made to keep the surface of the previously placed layer of concrete alive so that
the succeeding layer can be amalgamated with it by vibration process. Following points
shall be kept in mind while vibrating concrete.
20.14.02 The concrete shall be placed in shallow layers consistent with the method being used to
place and vibrate the concrete. Usually concrete shall be placed in thickness not more
than 300mm and on initial placing in thickness not more than 150mm.
20.14.03. The vibrator head shall be dipped through filling which is to be consolidated to further
depth of 10 to 20mm in the lower layer which has already been consolidated.
20.14.04. Vibration shall be carefully controlled, the internal vibrator being systematically
inserted at points minimum 450 mm intervals and maintained in position for a fixed
time. Immersion for periods of 5 to 15 seconds should normally be sufficient. The limit
of action is judged by surface appearance. The surface shall neither be honey combed
nor shall it contain excess mortar.
20.14.05. The vibrator shall be inserted vertically. With inclined or haphazard insertion it will be
impossible to regulate the degree of compaction in all portions of the concrete. Care shall
be taken to prevent contact of immersion vibrators with formwork, reinforcement steel
and finished surfaces. Immersion vibrators shall not come in contact with reinforcement
steel if initial set of concrete around it has started.
20.14.06. The vibrator shall be allowed to penetrate on its own accord and should be withdrawn
quite slowly, at the rate of about 75 mm per second, whilst still running, so as to allow
the redistribution of the concrete in its wake.
20.15 PROTECTION AND CURING OF CONCRETE
Newly placed concrete shall be protected by approved means from rain, sun and wind.
Concrete placed below the ground level shall be protected against contamination from
falling earth during and after placing. Concrete placed in ground containing deleterious
substances, shall be protected from contact with such ground, or with water draining
from such ground, during placing of concrete and for a period of at least three days or as
otherwise instructed by the Engineer. Steps, as approved by the Engineer, shall be taken
to protect immature concrete from damage by debris, excessive loadings, vibration,
TENDERER
81
abrasion, mixing with earth or other deleterious materials, etc. that may impair the
strength and durability of the concrete.
All concrete shall be cured by keeping it continuously damp for the period of time
required for complete hydration and hardening to take place. Preference shall be given
to the use of continuous sprays, or ponded water, continuously saturated covering of
sacking, canvas, Hessian or other absorbent materials, or approved effective curing
compounds applied with spraying equipment capable of producing a smooth, even-
textured coat. Extra precautions shall be exercised in curing concrete during cold and
hot weather as outlined hereinafter. The quality of curing water shall be the same as that
used for mixing concrete.
Certain types of finish or preparation for overlaying concrete must be done at certain
stages of the curing process and special treatment may be required for specific concrete
surface finish.
Curing of concrete made of high alumina cement and Supersulphated cement shall be
carried out as directed by Engineer.
The Contractor shall remain extremely vigilant and employ proper equipment and
workmen under able supervision for curing. The Engineer’s decision regarding the
adequacy of curing is final. In case any lapse on the part of the Contractor is noticed by
the Engineer, he will inform the Contractor or his supervisor verbally or in writing to
correct the deficiency in curing. If no satisfactory action is taken by the Contractor within
3 (Three) hours of issuance of such instruction, the Engineer will be at liberty either to
employ sufficient means through any agency to make good the deficiency and recover
the cost thereof from the Contractor, or pay for the part where adequate curing was
noticed at a reduced rate, entirely at the discretion of the Engineer.
20.16 FORM WORK
20.17.01 General
If it is so desired by the Engineer, the Contractor shall prepare, before commencement

of actual work, designs and working drawings for formwork and centering and get them
approved by the Engineer. The formwork shall conform to the shape, grade, lines, levels
and dimensions as shown on the drawings.
Materials used for the formwork inclusive of the supports and centering shall be capable
of withstanding the working load and remain undistorted throughout the period it is left
in service. All supports and scaffolds should be manufactured from structural or tubular
steel except when specifically permitted otherwise by the Engineer.
The centering shall be true to vertical, rigid and thoroughly braced both horizontally and
diagonally. Rekers are to be used where forms are to support inclined members. The
forms shall be sufficiently strong to carry without undue deformation, the dead weight
of the concrete as a liquid as well as the working load, in case the Contractor wishes to
adopt any other design criteria, he has to convince the Engineer about its acceptability
TENDERER
82
before adopting it. Where the concrete is vibrated, the formwork shall be strong enough
to withstand the effects of vibration without appreciable deflection, bulging, distortion
or loosening of its components. The joints in the formwork shall be sufficiently tight to
prevent any leakage of slurry or mortar.
To achieve the desired rigidity, tie bolts, spacer blocks, tie wires and clamps as approved
by the Engineer shall be used but they must in no way impair the strength of concrete or
cause stains or marks on the finished surface. Where there are chances of these fixtures
being embedded, only mild steel or concrete of adequate strength shall be used. Bolts
passing completely through liquid retaining walls/ slabs for the purpose of securing and
aligning the formwork shall not be used.
The formwork shall be such as to ensure a smooth uniform surface free from
honeycombs, air bubbles, bulges, fins and other blemishes. Any blemish or defect found
on the surface of the concrete must be brought to the notice of the Engineer immediately
and rectified free of charge as directed by him.
All floor and beam centering shall be crowned not less than 8 mm in all directions for
every 5 meters span. Unless specifically described on the drawings or elsewhere to the
contrary, bevelled forms 25 mm by 25 mm shall be fixed in the form-work at all corners
to provide champering of the finished concrete edges without any extra charge. The
formwork should lap and be secured sufficiently at the lift joints to prevent bulges and
offsets.
Temporary openings for cleaning, inspection and for pouring concrete shall be provided
at the base of vertical forms and at other places, where they are necessary and as may be
directed by the Engineer. The temporary openings shall be so formed that they can be
conveniently closed when required, during pouring operations without leaving any
mark on the concrete.
20.18.02 Cleaning and Treatment of Forms
All parts of the forms shall be thoroughly cleaned of old concrete, wood shavings, saw
dust, dirt and dust sticking to them before they are fixed in position. All rubbish, loose
concrete, chippings, shavings, saw dust etc. shall be scrupulously removed from the
interior of the forms before concrete is poured. Compressed air jet and/ or water jet
along with wire brushes, brooms etc. shall be used for cleaning. The inside surface of the
formwork shall be treated with approved non-staining oil or other compound before it
is placed in position. Care shall be taken that oil or other compound does not come in
contact with reinforcing steel or construction joint surfaces. They shall not be allowed to
accumulate at the bottom of the formwork. The oiling of the formwork will be inspected
just prior to placement of concrete and redone wherever necessary.
20.18.03 Design
The formwork shall be so designed and erected that the forms for slabs and the sides of
beams, columns and walls are independent of the soffits of beams and can be removed
without any strain to the concrete already placed or affecting the remaining formwork.
Removing any props or re-propping shall not be done except with the specific approval
TENDERER
83
of the Engineer. If formwork for column is erected for the full height of the column, one
side shall be left open and built up in sections, as placing of concrete progress. Wedges,
spacer bolts, clamps or other suitable means shall be provided to allow accurate
adjustment and alignment of the formwork and to allow it to be removed gradually
without jarring the concrete. The form work must be designed for any special conditions
of construction likely to occur such as unsymmetrical placement of concrete, impact of
machine delivered concrete, uplift and concentrated load. Imposition of construction
load on the partially completed structure shall not be allowed except with the written
permission of the Engineer.
20.18.04 Inspection of Forms
Casting of Concrete shall start only after the formwork has been inspected and approved
by the Engineer. The concreting shall start as early as possible within 3 (Three) days
after the approval of the formwork and during this period the formwork shall be kept
under constant vigilance against any interference. In case of delay beyond three days, a
fresh approval from the Engineer shall be obtained.
20.18.05 Removal of Forms
Before removing any formwork, the Contractor must notify the Engineer well in advance
to enable him to inspect the concrete if he so desires.
The Contractor shall record on the drawing or in any other approved manner, the date
on which concrete is placed in each part of the work and the date on which the formwork
is removed there from and have this record checked and countersigned by the Engineer
regularly. The Contractor shall be responsible for the safe removal of the formwork and
any work showing signs of damage through premature removal of formwork or loading
shall be rejected and entirely reconstructed by him without any extra cost to the Owner.
The Engineer may, however, instruct to postpone the removal of formwork if he
considers it necessary.
Forms for various types of structural components shall not be removed before the
minimum periods specified herein and the removal after the minimum periods shall also
be subject to the approval of the Engineer in each case.

the periods specified for temperature above 40 Deg. C can be reduced to those of the
temperature range of 20 Deg. C to 40 Deg. C subject to approval of the Engineer.
Construction joints in beams, if required to be provided, will be located at the middle of

span according to clause 26.08.01 (b) of this specification. In such cases, however, entire
span of beam shall have to be kept supported by formwork till its removal for the portion
of beam, cast at a later date, is due and so approved by the Engineer.
20.18.06 Tolerance
The formwork shall be so made as to produce a finished concrete, true to shape, lines,
levels, plumb and dimensions as shown on the drawings subject to the following
tolerances unless otherwise specified in this Specification or drawings or directed by the
Engineer.
For a) Sectional dimension : +/- 5 mm
b) Plumb : 1 in 1000 of height
c) Levels : +/- 3 mm before any deflection has

taken place
The tolerances given above are specified for local variations in the finished concrete
surface and should not be taken as tolerances for the entire structure taken as a whole
or for the setting and alignment of formwork, which should be as accurate as possible to
the entire satisfaction of the Engineer. Any error, within the above tolerance limits or
any other as may be specially set up by the Engineer, if noticed in any lift of the structure
after
stripping of forms, shall be corrected in the subsequent work to bring back the surface
of the structure to its true alignment.
20.18.07 Re-use of Forms
Before re-use, all forms shall be thoroughly scraped, cleaned, joints and planes examined
and when necessary repaired, and inside surface treated as specified hereinbefore.

thoroughly cleaning, washing and dewatering, as may be indicated in the plans or as
Engineer may direct, to meet the various situations encountered in the work.
20.21.02 Soft or spongy areas shall be cleaned out and back filled with either a soil-cement
mixture, lean concrete or clean sand fill compacted to a minimum density of 90%
Modified Proctor, unless otherwise mentioned in schedule of quantities.
20.22 PREPARATION OF ROCK STRATA OF FOUNDATIONS
20.22.01 To provide tight bond with rock foundations, the rock surface shall be prepared and the
following general requirements shall be observed.
20.22.02 Concrete shall not be deposited on large sloping rock surfaces. Where required by
Engineer or as indicated on the plans, the rock shall be cut to form rough steps or
benches to provide roughness or a more suitable bearing surface.
20.22.03 Rock foundation stratum shall be prepared by picking, barring, wedging and similar
methods which will leave the rock in an entirely sound and unshattered condition.
20.22.04 Shortly before concrete is placed, the rock surface shall be cleaned with high pressure
water and air jet even though it may have been previously cleaned in that manner.
20.22.05 Prior to placing concrete, the rock surface shall be kept wet for a period of 2 to 4 hours
unless otherwise directed by Engineer.
20.22.06 Before placing concrete on rock surfaces all water shall be removed from depressions to
permit thorough inspection and proper bonding of the concrete to the rock.
20.23 PREPARATION OF EARTH STRATA OF FOUNDATIONS
All earth surfaces upon which or against which concrete is to be placed, shall be well
compacted and free from standing water, mud or debris. Soft, yielding soil shall be
removed and replaced with suitable earth well compacted as directed by Engineer.
Where specified, lean concrete shall be provided on the earth stratum for receiving
concrete. The surface of absorptive soils against which concrete is to be placed shall be
moistened thoroughly so that no moisture will be drawn from the freshly placed
concrete and later shall help to cure the concrete.
20.24 BONDING TREATMENT (MORTAR)
20.24.01 After rock surfaces upon which new concrete is to be placed have been scarified, cleaned
and wetted as specified herein, they shall receive a bonding treatment, immediately
before placement of the concrete.
TENDERER
86
20.24.02 The bonding medium shall be a coat of cement-sand mortar. The mortar shall have the
same cement-sand proportions as the concrete which shall be placed on it. The water-
cement ratio shall be determined by placing conditions and as approved by Engineer.
20.24.03. Bonding mortar shall be placed in sufficient quantity to completely cover the surface
about 10mm thick for rock surface and about 5mm thick for concrete surfaces. It shall be
brushed or broomed over the surface and worked thoroughly into all cracks, crevices
and depressions. Accumulations or puddles of mortar shall not be allowed to settle in
depressions and shall be brushed out to a satisfactory degree, as determined by
Engineer.
20.24.04. Mortar shall be placed at such a rate that it can be brushed over the surface just in
advance of placement of concrete. Only as much area shall be covered with mortar as
can be covered with concrete before initial set in the mortar takes place. The amount of
mortar that will be permitted to be placed at any one time, or the area which it is to cover,
shall be in accordance with Engineers directions.
20.24.05. Cleaning and bonding formed construction joints
Vertical construction joints shall be cleaned as specified above or by other methods

approved by Engineer. In placing concrete against formed construction joints, the
surfaces of the joints, where accessible, shall be coated thoroughly with the specified
bed-joint bonding mortar immediately before they are covered with concrete or by
scrubbing with wire brooms dipped into the fresh concrete. Where it is impracticable to
apply such a mortar coating, special precautions shall be taken to ensure that the new
concrete is brought into intimate contact with the surface of the joint by careful puddling
and spading with the aid of vibrators and suitable tools.

the manufacturer/ supplier for carrying out the tests for fineness (by hand sieving),
setting time and compressive strengths as per IS:12269 or IS: 8112. Soundness Tests
may also be required to be carried out if required by the Engineer. The tests shall be
carried out free of charge by the Owner if cement is supplied by him or by the Contractor
without any expense to the Owner, in case the Contractor is directed to arrange for the
supply as per the terms and conditions of the Contract. In case due to any circumstances,
the agency of supply is changed in the middle of the Contract, the party who bore the
original contractual obligation will carry on with the test, free of charge to the other, till
TENDERER
87
the end of the job. No cement from a particular consignment / batch will be used on the
works unless satisfactory 3 (three) days and 7 (seven) days test results for compressive
strength are known. The Owner, Engineer and Contractor will jointly associate
themselves with the tests irrespective of whether they are carried out by the Owner or
the Contractor. These tests are of great importance as their results will have bearing on
the acceptance of concrete or otherwise as per the terms and conditions of the contract.
21.03 Aggregates

22.04 Load Test

Load tests of structural members may be required by the Engineer, when the strength of
test specimen results fall below the required strength, as per ‘Load Tests for flexural
member”, Clause 17.6 of IS: 456. If load testing is decided by the Engineer, the member
under consideration shall be subjected to a test load equal to 1.25 (one and a quarter)
times the specified live load used for design and this load shall be maintained for a period
of 24 (twenty four) hours before removal. The detailed procedure of the test is to be
decided by the Engineer. Load tests shall not be made until the structure is at least 56
days old.
If the member shows evident failure, such changes as are necessary to make the
structure adequately strong shall be made by the Contractor free of cost to the Owner.
Alternatively, if permitted under Statutory Regulations and at the discretion of the
Engineer, the structure under test or a portion thereof may be retained as such without
any modification by de-rating its load bearing capacity, provided the design criteria
allows such de-rating.
TENDERER
89
A reinforced concrete beam, floor or roof shall be deemed to have passed the test, if the
maximum deflection at the end of 24 hours does not exceed the deflection given in Clause
17.6.3.1 of IS: 456.
The entire cost of load testing shall be borne by the Contractor. If a portion of the
structure is found to be unacceptable, it shall be dismantled and replaced by a new
structure as per specification. The entire cost of dismantling and replacement and
restoration of the site being borne by the Contractor.
If, in the course of dismantling, any damage is done to the embedded items and or other
adjacent structures, the same will be made good, free of charge by the Contractor to the
satisfaction of the Engineer.

4.1 Soaking of Bricks

Bricks shall be soaked in water for a minimum period of one hour before use so that they will be
saturated and will not absorb water from the mortar. When bricks are soaked they shall be
removed from the tank sufficiently in advance so that at the time of laying they are skin-dry. Such
soaked bricks shall be stacked on a clean place where they are not spoil by dirt, earth, etc.
4.2 Laying of Bricks:
All brick work shall be laid in English bond, even and true to line, plumb, level and all joints
accurately kept. The bricks used on the face shall be selected whole ones of uniform size and with
true rectangular face. Brick shall be laid with frogs up, if any, on a full bed of mortar. When laying,
bricks shall be slightly pressed so that the mortar gets into all the surface pores of bricks to
ensure proper adhesion. All joints shall be properly flushed and packed with mortar so that no
hollow spaces are left.
Before laying bricks in foundation, a layer of not less than 12 mm of mortar shall be spread to
make the surface on which the brick work will be laid even. Immediately thereafter, the first
course of bricks shall be laid.
The brick work shall be built in uniform layers, corners and other advanced work shall be raked
back. Brick work shall be done true to plumb or in specified batter. No part of it, during
TENDERER
92
construction, shall rise more than one meter above the general construction level, to avoid
unequal settlement and improper jointing.
Toothing may be done where future extension is contemplated but shall be used as an alternative
to raking back.
4.3 Joints
The thickness of joints shall not exceed 10 mm and this thickness shall be uniform throughout.
4.4 Joining with existing structure

When fresh masonry is to be placed against existing surfaces of structures, these shall be cleaned
of all loose material, roughened and wetted as directed by the Engineer so as to effect a good
bond with the new work.
4.5 Curing:
Green work shall be protected from rain by suitable covering. Masonry work in cement or
composite mortar shall be kept constantly moist on all faces for a minimum period of seven days.
The top of the masonry work shall be left flooded with water at the close of the day. During hot
weather all finished or partly completed work shall be covered or wetted in such manner as will
prevent rapid drying of the brick work.
4.6 Scaffolding
The scaffolding shall be sound and strong to withstand all loads likely to come upon it and will
be double or single as is warranted for the particular work. The holes which provide resting
space for horizontal members shall not be left in masonry under one metre in width or
immediately near the skew backs of arches. The holes left in the masonry work for supporting
the scaffolding shall be filled and made good with 1:4:8 cement concrete.
4.7 Condition of Equipment
All equipment used for mixing or transporting mortar and bricks shall be clean and free from set
mortar, dirt or other injurious foreign substances.
4.8 Finishing of Surfaces
For a surface which is to be subsequently plastered or pointed the joints shall be squarely raked
out to a depth of 15 mm while the mortar is still green. The raked joints shall be well brushed to
remove dust and loose particles and the surface shall be thoroughly washed with water, cleaned
and wetted.

Payment for the brick masonry shall be made on the basis of cubic meter (Cum). Measurement
shall be based on actual quantities at site limiting however by the drawings and as directed by the
Engineer in charge.

7.2.2. On completion of the work all welds shall be tightly bonded. Any membrane area showing injury
due to excessive scuffing, puncture, or distress from any cause shall be replaced or repaired with an
additional piece of HDPE membrane. “Fish-mouths” shall not be allowed within the seam
area. Where “fish-mouths” occur, the material shall be cut, overlapped and an overlap-extrusion weld
applied.
7.2.3 The welding equipment used shall be capable of continuously displaying the temperature and
speed of the zone of contact where the machine is actually fusing the membrane material so as to
ensure that changes in environmental conditions will not affect the integrity of the weld.
7.3 EXTRUSION WELDING
TENDERER
103
7.3.1 Where extrusion welds are proposed, field joints shall be made by overlapping adjacent panels
a minimum of 100 mm and extruding a ribbon of extrusion joining resin no less than 25mm in width
between the overlapped panels or over the seam between the panels where hand welds are
required. To avoid movement of adjacent pieces of the geo-membrane, the pieces shall be welded
together using hot air welder.
7.3.2 Prior to extrusion welding of the seams, all areas, which are to become seam interfaced, shall be
cleaned of dust and dirt. The slick surfaces of the HDPE panel which are to become seam interfaces
shall be roughened with a grinder, before extrude is placed between the overlapping
seams or over a lapped seam. All roughed surfaces shall be covered with extrude.
7.3.3 Extrusion joining shall not take place unless the sheet is dry and shall not take place unless the
ambient temperature is above 50 centigrade and below 450 centigrade. The consultant shall make
the decision whether to continue or to halt the Extrusion welding based on trial seaming and testing.
7.4 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR INSPECTION & TESTING OF WELDS, JOINTS AND REPAIRS
7.4.1 The contractor shall provide a Construction Quality Control and Quality Assurance (CQA/CQC)
Plan written by a Qualified HDPE geo-membrane specialist. The CQA/CQC plan shall describe field
seam quality assurance/quality control procedures for the inspection of each seam, repair
procedures and daily welding machine testing.
7.4.2 Trial test welds shall be conducted, prior to liner welding, for each welding machine; part
samples shall be field tested; remaining samples shall be retained for subsequent testing if necessary
and as required by the consultant and in according to liner manufacturer’s specifications.
7.4.3 The consultant together with the installation technician shall conduct visual inspection of both
physical non-destructive and destructive testing to verify the quality of all welds.
7.4.4 Peel seam specimens are 25 mm wide. Peel tests shall be carried out on three replicate
specimens. A break through the weld shall be considered a Non-FTB (failure) in peel strength
tests.
7.4.5 Approved field seaming processes are double hot wedge fusion welding and extrusion welding.
7.4.6 Welding rods or beads used for extrusion welding shall be HDPE and the physical and chemical
properties shall be same as those of the resin used in the manufacture of the HDPE liner.
7.4.7 All seams shall be fully tested by non-destructive methods. These methods shall be either by
pressurized air for the double fusion welds and vacuum box for the extrusion welds. Spark testing is
only acceptable in locations where air and vacuum box testing are not applicable.
7.5 REPAIR AND DEFECTS
7.5.1 GENERAL
All seamed areas of the geo-membrane shall be inspected by the consultant for defects, holes, blisters,
un-dispersed raw materials, and any sign of contamination by foreign matter. All suspect lengths of
seam shall be marked for testing by the Contractor.
7.5.2 EVALUATION
Each suspect location in seamed areas shall be non-destructively tested as appropriate in the
presence of the consultant. Each location that fails the non-destructive testing shall be marked, and
repaired accordingly.
7.5.3 REPAIR PROCEDURES
1.Defective seams shall be re-started/re-seamed as described in these specifications.

TENDERER
104
2.Holes shall be repaired by extrusion patches or caps.

3.Tears shall be repaired by patching. Where the tear is on a slope or an area of stress and has a
sharp end it must be rounded prior to patching.
4.Blisters, large holes, un-dispersed raw materials and contamination by foreign matter shall be
repaired by patches.
5.Surfaces of HDPE which are to be patched shall be abraded and cleaned no more than 30 minutes
prior to the repair. No more than 10% of the thickness shall be removed. All abraded surfaces shall
be covered by extrusion or the patch.
6.Patches shall be round or oval in shape, made of the same geo-membrane and extend a minimum
of 150 mm beyond the edge of defects. All patches shall be of the same compound and thickness as
the geo-membrane specified. All patches shall have their tip edge bevelled with an angle grinder
prior to placement on the geo-membrane.
7.6 RESTART / RESEAMING PROCEDURES

The welding process shall restart by grinding the existing seam and re-welding a new seam. Welding
shall commence where the grinding started and must overlap the previous seam by at least 25mm.
Reseaming over an existing seam without regrinding shall not be permitted.
7.6.1 VERIFICATION OF REPAIRS

Each repair shall be non-destructively tested using the Vacuum Box method only, except when the
Consultant requires a destructive seam sample obtained from a repaired seam. Repairs that pass
the non-destructive test shall be taken as an adequate repair. Failed tests indicate that the repair
shall be repeated and retested until passing test results are achieved.
32.02 Laying of HDPE Film

32.02.1 General:
The following precautions/procedures shall be observed during laying operation:
a. HDPE film rolls should not be rough – handled or dragged, as the film may get damaged in the
process.
b. Workers should not walk on the film while the lining operation is in progress. In case this is
unavoidable, they should walk barefoot.
c. HDPE films unrolled during lining should be carefully inspected for holes and other defects. The
affected area can be rectified by putting patches.
d. No sharp-edge object should be placed or rolled over the film.
e. The black HDPE film should not be placed when the temperature is below 32 deg.F (0oC) or above
100 deg.F (38oC).
32.02.2 Bed Lining

a. On the level bed of the reservoir, a layer of the fine sand of sufficient thickness to cover all
undulations/protrusions but of 100 mm minimum thickness is to be spread to provide a cushion for
the HDPE film. Sand is to be properly sieved so that there is no broken stone, brickbat or any
undesirable material which may damage the film.
HDPE film of about 6 or 7 meter width and 70 to 80 meter length are then laid over sand with due
care. The film should be spread loosely (with 5% allowance in each direction) and distributed evenly
along the length and breadth of the film. When the film laying is undertaken at mid-day, it is
recommended that the film be spread only in the area that can be covered with soil or tiles or other
materials by the end of the day.
TENDERER
105
The subsequent and adjacent length of the HDPE film is to be heat sealed for prevention of water
losses through the joint.
b. Bed Cover with Precast Concrete Block

Precast concrete blocks shall be laid in 1:5 cement mortar of a minimum thickness of 15 mm lining as
shown on the drawing. The joints are left open and finally filled with 1:3 cement sand mortar.
The lining shall be cured for minimum seven (7) days.
32.02.3 Side Lining
The sides of the reservoir including berm shown on the drawing is to be lined with HDPE films.
a. Film Laying
The film is spread over the sub grade directly. Lining operation in the reservoir sides are to be the
same as that for the bed exception that no sand cushion is provided. One end of the toe film is
anchored in the toe wall and the other end of the film is loosely held at the top of the embankment,
atleast 30 cm beyond the trench by placing bricks on it and subsequently anchored inside the trench.
b. Side Cover:
Precast concrete block shall be laid in 1:5 cement mortar of a minimum thickness of 15 mm as shown
in the drawing. The joints are left open and finally filled with 1:3 cement sand mortar, after anchoring
of films is over. The lining shall be cured for minimum seven (7) days.
c. Down Stream Slope Protection shall be as per IS 8237-1985.
32.02.4 Anchoring of HDPE Films

The films from side slopes and bed of the reservoir are to be first anchored inside the toe walls. The
loose end of the film at the top of the embankment shall be buried in the trench and covered with
compacted earth and subsequently with tiles/blocks as shown on the drawing.
32.02.5 Heat Sealing of HDPE Film
The heat sealing shall be done by an electric iron having three parallel sealing bars. A long piece of
plywood is to be placed below the HDPE film to be heat sealed. On the plywood, a rubber gasket is to
be laid to provide a cushion for better welding of the film. On the rubber padding, a cellophane tape
is to be spread and on this the HDPE film, with 150 mm overlap is to be stretched. On the overlapped
HDPE film another cellophane tape is to be placed to prevent the heat sealer from sticking to the
HDPE film. After this, the electric iron is to be pressed on the overlap joint for sufficient time so as to
allow perfect welding. The operation is to be repeated for subsequent lengths of the joints. After heat
sealing, the cellophane tape is to be removed and the joints are to be tested for leaks as per
manufacturer‟s specification.
32.03 Acceptance Criteria
The installations shall present a neat appearance and shall be checked for water tightness. The
following shall be specifically checked:
a. HDPE film against mechanical damage if any.
b. Laying of HDPE films
c. Method of jointing (heat sealing)
d. End sealing or anchoring of HDPE films
